Chu Weiye reached out to grab Bai Lu's wrist again. Having suffered a few losses before, Bai Lu had learned to be smart. She dodged backward, and Chu Weiye caught nothing. His handsome face became gloomier, but Bai Lu was one step ahead of him. She raised her hand high, and the diamond ring on her ring finger flashed with a dazzling light, making Chu Weiye's movements freeze.
A trace of disbelief flashed across his face.
Bai Lu said softly, "You said before that Liang Feifan would never give me a status, but I want to tell you now that you're wrong. Feifan gave me a status, and I'm now his wife. I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, but your Far East Group and my husband's Liang Clan have always been rivals in the business world. I can't stand here and say so much with you now. If someone sees this, they'll think that I've done something wrong behind my husband's back. "
She curled her red lips and said without hesitation, "Although I didn't do anything, I love my husband very much. I don't want any negative news to come out of him because of me."
Chu Weiye had never felt like this before.
The whole world was empty, and all the sounds in his ears seemed to dissipate, but the cold face in front of him was so clear. She had a happy and confident smile on her lips, but her happiness wasn't because of him. She said that she loved that man very much, but that man wasn't him either.
"Dong". Something must have fallen into the abyss. He heard his heart being cut open. The whole world was filled with the thick smell of blood, but he was the only one who could smell it.
So it wasn't because she was unwilling. Unwilling, wasn't it because she didn't want to give up?
So she didn't want to give up, wasn't it because of love?
Chu Weiye laughed. He was incomparably lonely. When he opened his mouth, his voice was tense. The pride he had grown up with didn't allow him to show all the sadness now. He only said in a hoarse voice, "It seems that I've underestimated Liang Feifan. He really can do it."
Bai Lu pursed his lips and remained silent.
Chu Weiye looked at her stubborn face and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. "Do you feel very happy? Bai Lu, have you ever thought about how much pressure Liang Feifan would have to bear to let you marry him like this? "
Bai Lu's heart tightened, and he opened his mouth subconsciously. "What do you mean by that?"
"Hehe, what do you think? Everyone in our circle knows how high the status of the Liang Clan and Ye Zijie are in City A. Of course, these two families have always maintained a cooperative relationship. Do you know why Liang Jiannan and Ye Zijie cooperate seamlessly? Because Ye Lian, the only daughter of the Ye Group, is Mrs. Liang by default. Now that you've interfered, do you think the Ye Group will let it go? "
Chu Weiye chuckled and slowly put his hands into his trouser pockets. His tone was a little floaty, but it was also as unruly as his body. "Once the Liang Clan and the Ye Group separate, they will definitely be hit hard. Have you ever thought about that? Liang Feifan is probably having a headache right now. But I really admire him. The great CEO Liang wants the beauty but not the country. It also confirms a sentence — "
He glanced at Bai Lu ambiguously, but there was clearly bitterness in the depths of his eyes. "Since ancient times, the land of gentleness has always been a hero's grave."
"You — nonsense!"
Bai Lu frowned and interrupted Chu Weiye in a panic. He shook his head. "Impossible! Don't try to deceive me. I've worked in EC for so many years, and I know EC's strength very well. Even if the cooperation with the Ye Group falls through, the Liang Clan can't be as serious as you say. Feifan definitely won't … "
"Won't go bankrupt?"
Chu Weiye sneered and interrupted Bai Lu's words, cruelly and heartlessly cutting off her self-deception. "Bai Lu, you work in EC. Have you ever been to the Liang Clan? Do you know how much the cooperation projects between the Liang Clan and the Ye Group cost in the past few years? Do you know how much the Liang Clan will lose once these projects are stopped? Do you know what a business marriage is? It's a pity … You don't know anything, so you definitely won't know how badly the husband you love the most is now. "
…
"I don't believe it!"
Bai Lu bit her lip. Her eyes were firm as she said word by word, "Chu Weiye, I won't believe anything you say. Go away. I don't want to see you."
"There will be a day when you want to see me." Chu Weiye only said these words before he turned and left.
Bai Lu stood rooted to the ground, but her whole body seemed to be stiff. She maintained her original position and didn't move for a long time.
Chu Weiye's words kept ringing in her ears, intermittently. She kept telling herself that it wasn't true, that it couldn't be true, but …
Why did another voice in her heart jump out and tell her that it could actually be true?
…
When Liang Feifan returned, Bai Lu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, feeling uneasy.
A helper came forward to take the jacket from his wrist and called out respectfully, "Mr. Liang, you're back."
Bai Lu quickly stood up. When she turned around, she saw the tall and straight man standing at the entrance of the living room. The fierce aura he had outside faded away, and the man standing in front of her at this moment had a gentle gaze.
"Extraordinary."
Bai Lu jumped over the sofa and ran towards him. Liang Feifan enjoyed this feeling very much. When he came home from work, there was a woman he loved waiting at home. Then, just like now, she would throw herself into his arms like a little bird, which made him feel very comfortable.
"Why are you sitting here like a fool? I thought you were reading upstairs. " He reached out and smoothed the loose hair around her ears gently. His sharp eyes swept the little woman in his arms. That troubled look on her face couldn't fool his eyes at all.
Liang Feifan raised his eyebrows. "Something on your mind?"
Bai Lu knew that she couldn't hide the fact that Chu Weiye had been here today even if she wanted to.
This house was full of Liang Feifan's people. If she deliberately asked them to keep quiet, it would be equivalent to asking for trouble. Even if nothing happened, it would become a problem.
After careful consideration, she nodded. "… I don't want to hide it from you. Today … Chu Weiye came here to look for me."
Sensing that Liang Feifan had tightened his grip on her waist, Bailu subconsciously raised her head. Sure enough, Liang Feifan's handsome face turned dark. "Why is he here?"
After a pause, he asked worriedly, "Did he do something to you?"
"No."
Bai Lu quickly shook her head. Seeing how carefully he cherished her, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart. "Don't think too much. He didn't do anything. But … he told me something. I … "
"Huh?"
As astute as he was, Liang Feifan looked at Bai Lu's hesitation and knew that the damned Chu Weiye must have said something to her. "What did he say to you?"
Those words had been tormenting her for the whole day. Bai Lu desperately needed Liang Feifan's assurance. No matter how difficult it was to say, she desperately said it. However, after saying it, she didn't notice anything strange about the man beside her. She was worried, so she grabbed his hand and asked, "Feifan, tell me. Is what Chu Weiye said true? It's not true, right? The Liang Clan … will really … because of me … "
"What nonsense are you thinking?"
Liang Feifan's eyes were calm. He reached out and knocked her forehead. He didn't use much strength, but there was a hint of affection. He sat down on the sofa with Bai Lu in his arms. His slender fingers played with her long hair casually draped over her shoulders. He said in a deep voice, "You believe everything Chu Weiye says? Do you trust him too much, or do you not trust me too much, huh? "
"Of course not." Bai Lu frowned and retorted. "I'm just worried about you!"
"That's why I told you not to think too much." He rested his chin on her shoulder and sniffed her body scent greedily. "Don't worry. Your husband isn't that weak. And the Liang Clan isn't weak either. Trust me, okay?"
Bai Lu reached out and hugged his waist. She buried her face in his chest and rubbed it. She said softly, "… Feifan, I'm very scared. I know I should trust you, but I'm very worried. You'll bear a lot of burden because of me. If there's any problem, you must tell me, okay? Although I'm not sure if I can help you, I want to face all the problems with you. "
"Even if you want to run, I won't let you go."
Liang Feifan's hand slowly stroked her back. Because she was at home, she was dressed very simply. She didn't even wear a bra. As soon as his large palm pressed, he quickly felt it. Bai Lu heard his breathing become heavier. "You're not wearing a bra?"
"I don't feel well."
Hearing his voice, Bai Lu knew that if he continued to touch her like this, he would probably turn into a wolf soon. She wisely chose to jump out of his arms. Just then, she saw a servant coming out. She quickly asked, "Auntie, can we eat now?"
"Mr. Liang, Mrs. Liang, the food is ready. Would you like to eat now?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Bai Lu walked past Liang Feifan and walked toward the dining room. She held her stomach exaggeratedly as she walked. "I'm starving. Hurry up and eat."
Liang Feifan looked helplessly at the slender figure that was almost running away. When Bai Lu walked into the dining room, a gloomy expression flashed across Liang Feifan's calm and handsome face. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Chu Weiye. It seemed like he hadn't given up yet.
…
After dinner, Bai Lu saw that Liang Feifan still had a lot of work to do, so she went to her room to watch TV for a while. When it was eight o 'clock, Liang Feifan still hadn't come in. After thinking for a while, she went downstairs to heat up a glass of milk for him. Only then did she bring the glass of milk to his study.
Liang Feifan was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He held his phone in one hand and happened to be talking on the phone. Bai Lu walked closer and heard him say in a deep voice, "… How much can Ye Zijie give you?"
