“Bah, you really are the king of yboys and jerks. So, what you’re saying is that you don’t really like


    Leia, and you’re just messing around with her out of habit?” Renee questioned sharply. She had to


    confirm Xavier’s feelings for Leia before she could help Leia make her choice.


    “I don’t want to answer this.” There was a subtle uneasiness under Xavier’s nonchnce. He looked at


    Renee indifferently and said, “You’re not my girlfriend, so I’m not obligated to tell you about my


    feelings.”

    “Don’t try to evade this with your yfulness, Xavier. Answer my question if you’re a man. I know


    you’re not a real yboy, you’re just disguising yourself.” Renee had hit the nail on the head. She still


    remembered that he nearly died in the fire to save her. No matter how vile he pretended to be, he could


    not hide his true self as a brave and responsible man.


    “What does it have to do with you? Your righteous indignation may make me misunderstand you.”


    “Huh? What do you mean?


    “What do you think?”


    Still behaving casually, Xavier advanced slowly toward Renee, then tilted up her chin and smiled slyly.


    “A man might misunderstand that a woman likes him if she cares too much about him… I had feelings


    for you once, you know. Now that you’re single again, my feelings for you might be easily rekindled!”


    “You… you’re crazy!” His words gave Renee goosebumps and she pushed him away hard. ‘Damn it,


    it’s just like what Lei told me. He is just a yboy who likes to flirt – his mind cannot be read.’


    “I’m warning you – I don’t care about your reasons, but if you really have feelings for Lei, you’d better


    confess to her as soon as possible. She might look like a carefree person, but she is very sensitive


    inside. Her previous rtionship was traumatic, so she can’t afford to be hurt again. If you have no


    feelings for her, stop flirting with her. She will take it seriously and it will hurt herter on!” Renee


    warned Xavier seriously.


    His eyes darkened and he asked, “What happened to her previous rtionship? Tell me about it.”


    “Why are you curious about it?” Renee smiled thoughtfully. “When a man cares a lot about a woman,


    doesn’t it mean that he has feelings for her?”


    Xavier did not admit or deny it, and continued, “Was her ex a jerk? What did he do to her?”


    “Um, how should I put it? He is a highly-educated elite, very gentlemanly and elegant, and very smart.


    Lei liked him a lot…”


    “Hah, an elegant and smart elite…” He sounded very disdainful, and even his gaze exuded hostility. He


    sneered, “So, that’s the kind of guy she likes?”


    “Yeah… Come to think of it, I seem to have worried too much…” Renee pursed her lips thoughtfully.


    “What do you mean?”


    She said haughtily, “You are not her type at all. If she is not interested in you, she will naturally not be


    hurt by you.”


    “Is that so?” A hint of frustration shed across Xavier’s handsome face, but it was quickly reced


    with cynicism.


    “I’m sure that’s also what she thinks… Right, dear Lei?” The man asked suddenly with a wry smile.


    The man’s gaze looked past Renee at the corner where Leia had been hiding for a while.
