Chapter 121: Do You Have Delusional Disorder?

Chapter 121: Do You Have Delusional Disorder?

Everyone looked in awe at the handsome man and beautiful woman who had just entered, their eyes then turning to Yun Shuiyao for clues.

Yun Shuiyao's mind froze as she saw the man and woman approach her, taking a long moment to process what was happening.

"President Yi, how did you come with my sister? Did you happen to meet on the way?"

Yun Shuiyao put on a charming smile, stepping forward to ask tentatively, trying to salvage her last shred of dignity.

Everyone also looked expectantly at Huo Tingying, eager for the latest juicy gossip.

This drama of two women fighting over one man never went out of style.

Today, Huo Tingying wore a custom-made black suit, his bangs slightly ruffled, enhancing his fierce and flamboyant aura of a king.

His deep, narrow eyes swept indifferently over Yun Shuiyao before his thin lips curved into a half-smile, "No, we left from home together."

What?

Left from home together!

Home! Living together!

So they hadn't broken up at all?!

Yun Shuiyao's face stiffened quickly, then forced a smile, "President Yi, you're joking, right? Didn't you tell me earlier that you were tied up at work and would arrive later? How could you have left from home?"

And with Yun Mu.

Impossible, it couldn't be.

Huo Tingying gave a cold, sardonic smile, "You must have remembered wrong. I didn't say anything like that."

"How could that be possible? It was clearly you who called me and said..." Yun Shuiyao looked panicked, her voice even trembling, "That day, you promised me yourself that you would be my escort to the banquet. You said you had an argument with Yun Mu, that you broke up..."

"I never said those things, Yun Shuiyao. Are you suffering from delusional disorder?"

Huo Tingying held Yun Mu's soft little hand, slowly curving his lips into a warm smile, "Tonight, I am attending the banquet as Yun Mu's escort, and she is the only partner I will ever have in this life."

Yun Mu smiled, sketching a shy yet blissful smile.

The crowd drew a collective cold breath.

They were completely dazzled.

Yun Shuiyao's face drained of all color, her whole body trembling as she shook her head repeatedly, "Impossible, I didn't hear wrong, I didn't imagine it. President Yi, you clearly promised me, it's you! Yun Mu must have seduced President Yi, making him lie!"

Yun Mu turned around, looking at Yun Shuiyao mockingly, "I understand your unrequited love for Duke Yi, but too much obsession can lead to mental illness. I suggest you see a psychiatrist."

Huo Tingying agreed, "Miss Yun the Second, if you're sick, get treatment. Yun Mu and I are doing great, please stop spreading rumors everywhere."

With that, he pulled Yun Mu's hand and walked towards the center of the banquet hall.

Leaving Yun Shuiyao alone, facing everyone's mocking gazes.

"So, it turns out that Yun Shuiyao was imagining everything."

"I knew it, every time the President of Emperor Group appears, it's always with various displays of affection for Yun Mu. How could he suddenly fall in love with someone else?"

"Sigh, if she really has a mental illness, it's quite pitiful."

Although the crowd had lowered their voices, whispers still reached Yun Shuiyao's ears.

Some even kindly handed her a psychiatrist's business card, telling her not to be too obsessed.

Yun Shuiyao was so angry she wanted to splash wine in his face.

Bitch! It must be that bitch Yun Mu meddling!

Yun Shuiyao was certain that Duke Yi had accepted her invitation that day. She didn't believe that Duke Yi wasn't moved by her at all.

Yun Shuiyao picked up a glass of champagne nearby, downing it in one go.

Then, while Yun Mu was in the restroom and Huo Tingying was taking a smoke break on the balcony, she quietly followed.

On the balcony, the evening breeze blew gently.

The man, god-like, stood tall and slender, quietly standing amidst the dim lights.

His long fingers held a cigarette, its smoke swirling around.

Yun Shuiyao was captivated by this man at first sight.

If she didn't seize this opportunity, she might never have another chance.

Taking advantage of her slight drunkenness, Yun Shuiyao brushed her long hair, deliberately creating a disheveled allure, then stepped forward in her high heels, swaying slightly.

She had won over Huo Jinzhou this way back then, and she believed she wouldn't fail this time either.

No man could resist a woman who was drunk and enchantingly beautiful.

"President Yi."

The man gazing into the distance slowly turned around, his deep, narrow eyes mesmerizing.

Yun Shuiyao's heart pounded, her voice coquettish, "President Yi, there are some words I want to say to you."

"Go ahead."

Seeing that he wasn't as cold as before, Yun Shuiyao grew bolder.

She took a few more steps forward and said, "Mr. Yi, even if you don't have feelings for me, there are things I must tell you. You and Yun Mu aren't suited for each other."

"Yun Mu has always resented the fact that I was adopted by the Yun family and that I outshine her in everything. She wants to compete with me for everything. And she's very popular among men, able to get along with different men and adept at playing ambiguous games, something I admit I'm not as good at. But she doesn't have a shred of genuine feeling for you. She's just using you to pass the time and alleviate her loneliness."

"But I'm different. From the moment I first saw you, I fell deeply in love with you."

"Mr. Yi, you know how I feel about you, right? Of course, I know I'm not good enough yet. I'm just an adopted daughter of the Yun family, without any support or family background. But I can work hard to become someone worthy of you."

As Yun Shuiyao spoke, she slowly approached the man in front of her, tears in her eyes, her emotions sincere and heartfelt.

"Mr. Yi, may I ask if you feel even the slightest bit of attraction towards me, and whether you're willing to give me a chance to stand by your side?"

At the corner, Yun Mu almost shed tears herself.

If she didn't know the true nature of this green tea, she would have been moved.

Damn! Green tea is indeed green tea, confessing while still finding a way to drag her down.

Just then, a commotion came from the banquet hall downstairs.

Huo Jinzhou had arrived.

Dressed in a white suit, he was dignified and elegant.

The moment he appeared, he became the center of attention.

What impeccable timing, this couldn't be more perfect.

Yun Mu immediately went downstairs, feigning panic as she passed by Huo Jinzhou.

"Has anyone seen Mr. Yi Jue? How did he disappear so quickly? Where's Yun Shuiyao? Why isn't she around either?"

Someone whispered, "I just saw Yun Shuiyao go to the second-floor balcony. Mr. Yi Jue seemed to be up there too..."

"What?" Yun Mu pretended to be surprised and then rushed upstairs, lifting her dress.

Upon hearing this, Huo Jinzhou, who had just arrived, felt a slight twitch in his brow.

After a moment of contemplation, he hurriedly followed after her.
