The Invincible Mercenary King

Chapter 636

“Huh?” Haylan’s eyes widened in surprise.

What did Ceci mean by that question?

Was she trying to suggest a romantic connection between him and Mimi?

“Quit playing games. Mimi is drop–dead gorgeous with a killer body and treats you well. Not to mention, you two were high school buddies. Have you never felt any attraction toward Mimi?” Ceci’s curiosity burned in her gaze as she looked at Haylan.

The love for beauty resided within every heart!

To speak candidly, having known Mia for a considerable time, she had developed a profound understanding of her.

Despite being a woman herself, there were numerous occasions when she couldn’t deny the stirring of romantic feelings toward Mia.

She was undeniably a stunning beauty, a true enchantress!

Yet, to her surprise, Haylan seemed entirely unaffected by Mia’s presence.

This was highly unusual and perplexing!

“Well, just because we were classmates doesn’t mean I have to be infatuated,” Haylan remarked coolly.

He had crossed paths with many beautiful women, not merely in the thousands but perhaps even tens of thousands. His encounters with countless women had forged within him a formidable heart.

Therefore, what might be considered goddesses in the eyes of many, were nothing more than individuals with a modest level of attractiveness in his perspective.

Powered by his resolute heart, he wasn’t one to be easily stirred, let alone succumb to infatuation at the drop of a hat.

“No way! Are you telling me you haven’t felt a hint of attraction?” Ceci’s eyes bore a perplexed expression as she carefully observed Haylan.

“Not in the slightest,” Haylan replied composedly, calmly continuing to savor his food.

Ceci’s expression grew even more perplexed as she looked at Haylan. “Mr. Jaber, you’re not gay, are you?”
