Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 119

Chapter 119: You Have a Girlfriend?

***

But Ye Han didn’t let Xia Ruoming play dead as she wished, and continued chatting with her about various topics.

She had seen Xia Ruoming and Jiang Ruhua whispering together earlier, both laughing happily, which made her wonder about their relationship. How could that temperamental young lady have friends?

“Xia Ruoming, what’s your relationship with Jiang Ruhua?” Ye Han asked.

“Just friends, Miss Ye. Do you need to concern yourself with such matters?” Xia Ruoming answered calmly, but due to events from her previous life, her expression still showed subtle changes.

None of this escaped Ye Han’s eyes.

She was lying last time, and acting so strange this time, she must be lying again. She and Jiang Ruhua definitely have some secret relationship.

“Xia Ruoming, do you have a girlfriend?” Ye Han suddenly asked.

“Um… cough cough cough…” Hearing Ye Han’s question, Xia Ruoming choked again, “Sorry, but I’m not interested in your type, Miss Ye. I’m just a commoner and not worthy of you, you should look for someone else.”

Ye Han’s face immediately darkened. Could there really be someone so narcissistic in this world? She had only asked if Xia Ruoming had a girlfriend to probe the relationship between Jiang Ruhua and Xia Ruoming, but Xia Ruoming thought she was making a subtle confession?

Although… her words did seem to have that implication? But what did she mean by rejecting so quickly! What exactly was wrong with her? Xia Ruoming could chat nicely with someone who had a princess-like personality like Jiang Ruhua, why was she acting so strange with her?

No, she couldn’t accept this at all!

“…Where did this narcissistic personality come from? I asked, do you have a girlfriend? Maybe I should be more direct, I want to know if Jiang Ruhua is your girlfriend.” Ye Han asked with a dark face, “Don’t lie to me, when Jiang Ruhua was mentioned, your expression clearly showed you were flustered, you can’t just be friends.”

Xia Ruoming looked at the woman before her. In her previous life, she hadn’t known Ye Han was so clever and so observant of facial expressions. Indeed, worthy of being a law genius?

During their conversation, Xia Ruoming suddenly caught the unique fragrance from Ye Han’s body, a scent completely different from perfume, an extremely elegant and subtle fragrance that seemed pleasant no matter how many times she smelled it, and she inexplicably liked this scent.

If you can smell someone’s unique fragrance when they’re not wearing perfume, it proves your genes have chosen them, Xia Ruoming had seen similar words in some movie, and she knew this theory had some scientific basis from a certain experiment in 1995, though she had forgotten the specifics.

So… why could she smell Ye Han’s natural scent? Did it mean Ye Han was compatible with her, that her genes had chosen Ye Han? No way!

Wasn’t pheromone attraction supposed to be stronger between opposite sexes? The probability of pheromone attraction between the same sex was very low. They were clearly both women. Except for Xu Fengwu, Xia Ruoming had never felt this kind of attractive scent from anyone, not even Chu Suhe. Although she liked Chu Suhe, she never had this feeling towards her.

“It’s not what you think… at least not now.” Xia Ruoming gave an answer that left room for interpretation. Actually, she didn’t know either. She was someone greatly affected by feelings of guilt, and if one day the story from her previous life overcame her current life’s heart, getting back together with Jiang Ruhua might not be impossible.

But definitely not now, at least she was very firm about that now.

“Not now?” Ye Han was stunned after hearing this. Not girlfriends, yet you can be so close with Jiang Ruhua? You can’t even handle my personality, how can you handle Jiang Ruhua?

Her first reaction was that Xia Ruoming was being played by Jiang Ruhua, just like those stories about players keeping their options open. In any case, Jiang Ruhua was stringing Xia Ruoming along, though she couldn’t understand why Jiang Ruhua would do that.

“You’re not her girlfriend, yet you’re so close?”

“Uh… isn’t this just how friends talk? Why must it be girlfriends?” Xia Ruoming asked in confusion, she really didn’t understand what Ye Han meant.

Xia Ruoming had been with Jiang Ruhua for so long that she automatically ignored Jiang Ruhua’s currently terrible personality, treating her like the somewhat changed Jiang Ruhua from years later.

“…”

Her words also left Ye Han at a loss. She really didn’t understand how someone who spoke to others in the same commanding tone used with maids and servants could have normal friends. If what Xia Ruoming said was true, if she could tolerate Jiang Ruhua, why did she keep her distance from herself?

No, she must have been deceived by Jiang Ruhua.

“So do you have a girlfriend now?” Ye Han asked after calculating in her heart.

“Uh… why are you asking this?” Xia Ruoming looked at Ye Han suspiciously. She initially wanted to say ‘don’t tell me you like me,’ but after thinking it through, she laughed self-mockingly, how could Ye Han possibly like her?

“Never mind why, just answer my question.” Ye Han’s words were as domineering as ever, leaving Xia Ruoming no room to refuse, just like an order.

Although Xia Ruoming was particularly annoyed by Ye Han’s attitude, falling out with Ye Han over such a small matter obviously wasn’t worth it. She had previously planned to get Ye Han into her legal team.

“Hmm… probably not… at least not now.” Xia Ruoming seemed to hesitate for a while before slowly speaking.

What Xia Ruoming said was indeed accurate. Although her relationship with Chu Suhe had warmed up considerably, and they had shared some intimate moments while camping, they hadn’t officially established a girlfriend relationship. As for Xiao Qinghan, although Xia Ruoming had also shared some moments with her at home, they hadn’t even tried to establish a girlfriend relationship, Xiao Qinghan had only asked if she had ever liked her.

As for Xu Fengwu, that was even further from the mark. Whether in her previous life or current one, they probably couldn’t be considered girlfriends…

“Phew… so you don’t have one. It’s quite surprising that someone like you, talented and beautiful, doesn’t have a girlfriend.” Ye Han said lightly, after breathing out in a voice no one could hear.

But Xia Ruoming heard a different emotion in that indifference, was it a hint of joy? Xia Ruoming didn’t know where Ye Han’s joy came from. Was it because she was single and Ye Han was happy to see another single dog?
