Before she could finish her words, Zheng Yan suddenly realized what she had said and upon raising her head, she saw that Fan Yu was stunned.
She did not mean it that way, but the words just spilled out of her mouth like that…
Because her brother had always made up rumors, her reputation was not that good. Her looks were also not exactly that innocent. On the contrary, her beauty was outstanding and alluring.
She would easily give off the appearance of being frivolous.
Those who did not know her liked to describe her as a flower of wealth.
Zheng Yan actually did not like this description, which was why, in front of strangers, she seldom spoke such freely to prevent others from making links that are uncalled for.
Earlier, it was only because she had become absorbed with Fan Yu’s story that she had wanted to console him. Thinking that too rigid words of consolation would be too half-hearted, she naturally said such words to him.
Now, as her eyes met with Fan Yu’s gaze, she suddenly felt helpless.
Before she could open her mouth to explain, the waitress came to serve their cups of coffee.
“These are the coffee and snacks you’ve ordered. If there is anything else that you need, please let me know.” The staff placed the food and drinks down before leaving with the tray.
“Very few girls like to drink espresso.”
After the interruption, Fan Yu’s gaze had returned to normal and he muttered lightly before considerately placing Zheng Yan’s coffee in front of her and moving the snacks closer to her.
Zheng Yan was still hesitating whether she should explain what she had said earlier but replied instinctively upon hearing his words,
“There’s too much stress from work usually. Espresso may be bitter, but it helps people to forget the bitterness from life. How about you, why do you like to drink espresso?”
She had wanted to ask this earlier when the two of them had ordered the same thing.
“If I say that my answer is the same as yours, will you believe it?”
Fan Yu raised the cup of espresso and took a light sip before he grinned faintly and muttered, “Although saying this may be quite impolite, but after interacting with you, I realized the feeling you give others is very different from your appearance.”
Zheng Yan pursed her lips and replied, “It’s okay, you’re not the first one to say that. Xiao Mumu has complimented me for having beautiful looks and an interesting soul too. She says I’m born a vixen and just needs a Taoist priest to subdue me!”
Thereafter, Zheng Yan used the fork to pick up a snack and place it into her mouth.
After giving it a few fierce bites and swallowing it, she started to complain.
“Seriously, I don’t quite understand the tastes of you men. There are guys who don’t like women who’re not good-looking but have opinions about those who are too pretty. Some rubbish about them being loose women and only suitable for playing around with and that men need to find wives who look obedient and domesticated… my foot! When these guys say such things, can’t they look at themselves in the mirror? With those faces of theirs, they still have the cheek to be fussy. If there are girls willing to marry them, they should offer incense to their ancestors to thank them!”
Fan Yu’s earlier story had probably made Zheng Yan’s heart ache for him.
The moment a woman’s heart softens, they will easily open up to someone. Even if it wasn’t due to feelings of attraction, they would treat that person as a friend.
As a result, they would inevitably reveal everything kept inside their heart.
“Fan Yu, let me ask you, amongst men, do women with looks like mine deserve to lead a life of a third party? Just because of my looks, can’t I be a decent woman to start a family with?”
