My Husband Is a Snake! - Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Rejection

Ning Yao’s expression turned extremely unsightlyas the rest of the class looked at that row of girls in surprise.

Although Yang Yuan was talking to Song Ying, the person sitting next to Song Ying was Ning Yao. Did this mean that the new classmate had taken a fancy to Ning Yao?

Song Ying was stunned for a few seconds. She immediately stood up and said with a kind smile, “Sure!”

Yang Yuan immediately said to Song Ying politely, “Thank you.”

However, before Song Ying could stand up, Ning Yao grabbed her hand and said to Yang Yuan, “I’m sorry, I want to sit with my friend. There are still seats in the back so you are free to sit there.”

Although Ning Yao’s tone was polite, the coldness in her eyes could not be hidden.

Song Ying, who was originally planning to match her roommate with her new classmate, was also stunned for a moment. Why did she feel that Ning Yao’s relationship with her new classmate was not very good?

Xu Na, who was watching from the side, was also a little surprised. When Yang Yuan had walked toward Ning Yao, she was immediately filled with jealousy and unwillingness.

She was expecting Ning Yao to willingly receive the attention of such an outstanding man like Yang Yuan. After all, it was hard to find such a rich and handsome man nowadays.

Ning Yao came from an ordinary family, so there was no reason for her not to be attracted to a man like Yang Yuan.

However, Xu Na did not expect Ning Yao to reject Yang Yuan so directly with a tone so cold as if she did not like Yang Yuan at all.

Xu Na looked at Ning Yao in disbelief as if she was an idiot.

‘No way! Ning Yao must have done it on purpose. She just wants to attract Yang Yuan’s attention and make him feel that she’s different from other women. That’s why she rejected Yang Yuan so directly,’ thought Xu Na as she tried to figure out Ning Yao’s response.

Ning Yao’s rejection made Yang Yuan feel very embarrassed. Yang Yuan had never thought Ning Yao would be so rude to him.

Moreover, the entire classroom’s attention was now on them. To Yang Yuan, this was undoubtedly the most embarrassing thing that can happen. His expression immediately changed.

But Ning Yao continued to look at him without a change in her cold expression toward him.

When she found out that Yang Yuan was the exchange student, she knew that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.

She had thought that Yang Yuan would stop bugging her after she broke off the engagement with the Yang family. Never would she expect Yang Yuan to chase her all the way to her school.

She didn’t believe that Yang Yuan liked her so much that he was willing to be so persistent with his pursuit. He was most likely just unwilling to give up.

Yang Yuan was such a proud and arrogant person. How could he accept the fact that his engagement was broken off by a woman?

Furthermore, Ning Yao didn’t like him at all, so she naturally didn’t want to cooperate with him. After rejecting Yang Yuan, she decided not to look at him anymore and turned toward her textbook.

Yang Yuan was so angry that he was about to explode when he realized that Ning Yao didn’t even want to look at him anymore. His pride as a man had just been completely trampled on.

Just as the atmosphere became extremely awkward, Xu Na suddenly took the initiative to say, “Yang Yuan, there’s a seat beside me. Why don’t you sit next to me first? Yaoyao has a bad temper and is insensible. Please don’t be angry with her.”

Xu Na’s words gave Yang Yuan a way out. He glared at Ning Yao before sitting down beside Xu Na without saying anything else.

Xu Na was overjoyed. When Yang Yuan sat down beside her, she was able to get a good look at him and her heart started to race faster.

‘Hmph, that stupid woman Ning Yao, doesn’t she know that a man’s pride is the most important to them? To have embarrassed Yang Yuan in front of so many people would obviously make him very unhappy, no matter how much Yang Yuan liked her.

Luckily, she managed to grab the opportunity to get Yang Yuan to sit beside her.

Xu Na lowered her head and looked into her phone’s selfie camera. When she saw that her makeup was still perfect and her lipstick was bright and alluring, she turned to Yang Yuan and flashed him an elegant and brilliant smile before saying, “Yang Yuan, which school were you from?”

Yang Yuan had suffered at Ning Yao’s hands, but when he saw a beauty like Xu Na take the initiative to greet him, his mood instantly improved.

This must mean that his male charm was still intact and that Ning Yao was simply blind. She didn’t know how to cherish such an excellent man like him.

Yang Yuan revealed the name of his university overseas and Xu Na immediately looked at him with admiration. “Wow, that’s amazing! That school isn’t a place that just anyone can get into.”

Yang Yuan’s mood brightened when he heard Xu Na’s praises and admiration for him. He started to treat her with a bit more humility and courtesy.

After the two of them got to know each other a little better, Xu Na started talking about Ning Yao.

“There are usually a lot of people wooing Yaoyao in school, so she’s just a little proud. I hope you don’t mind.” Xu Na gently ‘explained’ Ning Yao to Yang Yuan.
