Xin Yu's heart started to tremble violently. However, Qin Fangang had already let go of her. His deep voice was still comforting her. "You just have to remember what I said to you. As long as you have me in your head, that's enough. Don't think about morality or shame. I hope that the words' I, Qin Fangang ', have the power to resist all obstacles in your heart."
…
In this world, there were many ways for a man to confess to a woman. There were also many ways for a man to confess to a woman.
But a man could use a subjective and domineering way of speaking, yet not lacking in delicacy and gentleness to tell you that nothing else mattered. What mattered was feelings and the person he was.
…
Xin Yu admitted that she really couldn't say a single word of rebuttal.
— — I, Qin Fangang, am Leng Xinyu's man …
— — I have feelings, you have feelings too. Feelings are sinless …
…
She felt like she had been hypnotized. She didn't know when Qin Fangang left. After the apartment door closed, she stood at the entrance with a dazed look in her eyes. In her mind, all she could think about was what he had just said.
…
Qin Fangang was Leng Xinyu's man …
Lan Ruoran had just cut up the newspaper and tossed it into the bin when she heard the apartment door being pushed open with a click. Then, she heard steady footsteps.
Her heart trembled. She knew that Lu Yihan had returned. Actually, he hadn't been staying here for the past two days. He said that he had made a mistake in the Lu Clan's project and now he had to make up for it. So, he had been sleeping in the office's lounge.
Lan Ruoran had asked his assistant and was relieved to know that Lu Yihan hadn't lied to her.
But today, he suddenly came back without telling her anything. Was it because of … the newspaper article?
Lan Ruoran was a little flustered. This time, she was caught off guard and the matter from five years ago was exposed. She really didn't even dream that it would happen, so she didn't have any countermeasures. Of course, when she hurriedly threw the scissors she had just used on the side of the sink, a man's long voice flashed through the kitchen door. Then, she heard a "swish" sound as the sliding door was pushed open.
…
"… Yi, Yihan?"
Lan Ruoran subconsciously stepped forward to block the trash can behind her. Her hands were trembling, so she could only put her hands behind her back and clench her palms tightly, trying to calm herself down. "… Why did you suddenly come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance … "
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the newspaper in Lu Yihan's right hand.
Lan Ruoran's heart thumped. A feeling of dizziness hit her in the face.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale. After a moment, she reacted and hurriedly went forward to snatch the newspaper from Lu Yihan's hands. She stuttered, "… This newspaper, Yihan … Listen to me, this isn't true … I really don't know why someone suddenly wrote about this, but believe me, this isn't … Yihan, believe me …"
"I need an explanation. Let me believe your explanation."
Lu Yihan had one hand in his trousers pocket and the other hand spread open, supporting himself on the marble countertop. He frowned. His tone was still calm, but it was exceptionally deep. "You've been with me for so many years. I always thought that I understood you very well. Of course, you can be willful sometimes, but I thought that I could tolerate it and wouldn't say much. But this time … You should know that I, Lu Yihan, hate lying the most, understand? Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. I gave you a chance, so I came to find you. Now, you can explain. "
"…"
Lan Ruoran's heart dropped straight down, as if it had fallen into a bottomless abyss in an instant.
Lu Yihan had never spoken to her in such a manner. His expression was so sharp …..
Would this report, which caught her off guard, send her to the eighteenth level of hell, never to rise again?
No … No … No …
There was a voice in Lan Ruoran's heart that screamed shrilly — No! Absolutely not!
She, Lan Ruoran, didn't care if she had really done something wrong to Lu Yihan. But was he … absolutely loyal to her? Wasn't he the same? Didn't he also put on a show outside? He even said that he wanted her to be Lady Lu. But she had waited for so many years. Wasn't he the same? He didn't give her the right and proper title?
…
She wasn't wrong. She had never been wrong. Why should she feel guilty? She didn't need to feel guilty!
"You don't believe me?"
It was probably that thought that made her calm down.
Lan Ruoran instinctively straightened her back. Her eyes, which had been flickering a little at first, became especially magnanimous when she met Lu Yihan's gaze. Sometimes, when people spoke or did things, they just relied on their aura. She felt that she wasn't wrong, so her aura returned to her in an instant. "Just like you said, I've been with you for so many years. Sometimes, I'm unruly and willful, but don't you know how I treat you? Now that you've seen such gossip, you'd rather question me than choose to believe me? "
Lu Yihan didn't say anything. His gaze was deep as he stared unblinkingly at Lan Ruoran. He was silent for a long time. His stare made Lan Ruoran's heart beat wildly. Finally, she heard his deep voice with a strange calmness. He suddenly asked her, "… There's something that I didn't want to talk about, but now, I want to ask you — Ruoruo, when Leng Xinyu went to B City and that incident happened, did you contact Mr. Zhang after that?"
Lan Ruoran: "…"
B City, Mr. Zhang?
Wasn't that … when Leng Xinyu had just returned to D City and went on a business trip with Qin Fangang, she found someone to bribe Mr. Zhang to set her up?
What was going on? Lu Yihan … why did he suddenly mention this?
…
Lan Ruoran was flustered. She was now like a headless fly. She had no idea where she could fly to. She found a foothold and stood there. In a panic, she ran around and bumped into things. In the end, her head was bruised and bleeding, but she still refused to admit defeat.
"… Yihan, what are you trying to say? What happened in B City … What Mr. Zhang, how would I know? "
Lu Yihan suppressed his desire to sigh. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and put it in the corner of his mouth. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Ruoruo, in the past, I really thought that you were a woman who wasn't scheming. You know, I, Lu Yihan, hate people who are too calculative. I've told you this before, haven't I? I grew up in a family like the Lu family. To outsiders, I, Lu Yihan, am glamorous. But my family wasn't happy at all. Ever since I was old enough to understand things, my mother often argued with my father. I watched them pretend to be peaceful outside, but at home, they played all kinds of tricks. You probably don't understand that feeling. When my father was young, I couldn't even count the number of women my mother used outside methods to get rid of. So do you know? Ruoruo, I hate this kind of drama. I know how much you want to be my wife. In the past, I've been working hard, but unfortunately, you just can't stay calm and can't hold it in. "
The man's slender fingers casually flicked the ash from his cigarette. "… The incident in B City, I know you found someone to bribe Mr. Zhang to set up Leng Xinyu. But unfortunately, she had Qin Fangang by her side at that time. He helped her to avoid a calamity. "
"…"
At this moment, Lan Ruoran's expression was uglier than a zombie's.
Although she wasn't a very smart woman, she wasn't as stupid as a pig.
If she had wanted to deny the incident in B City before, then now … she didn't even have the courage to deny it. But what she didn't expect was that Lu Yihan had known about it all along …
She was flustered and suddenly felt that she didn't understand the man in front of her.
This man had slept beside her for more than five years. She thought that he wasn't a deep thinker, but was she just too naive?
…
At this moment, Lan Ruoran didn't know that when a man didn't have any fear of you, he was the simplest and purest in front of you. But when he has a certain level of wariness towards you, everything will be overturned.
"… Since you knew about it but never said anything, then what's the meaning of saying it now? Are you giving me a warning? "
Lan Ruoran still felt that she hadn't done anything wrong. What did she do wrong? She had been with this man for so many years. Was it wrong of her to want to correct her position?
What's more, was that Leng Xinyu better than her?
In her opinion, Leng Xinyu couldn't even compare to a strand of her hair. She was already dirty when she was in England. So what if she avoided a disaster in B City?
Why would Qin Fangang help her?
Wasn't it because … the two of them were having an affair in secret?!
"Yihan, do you know what you look like now? You're questioning me now because of that woman, Leng Xinyu? Are you quite happy that there's such a headline in the newspaper? Can you finally get rid of me? You haven't come to my place these days. Why? Do you still have me in your heart? "
His eyes reddened. The words that followed sounded even more aggrieved. Lan Ruoran actually knew how to strike first when dealing with Lu Yihan.
Lu Yihan stopped smoking. Lan Ruoran saw that his eyebrows were tightly knitted. His tone was no longer as harsh as before. "You should know that's not what I meant! Ruoruo, I've said before that I'll satisfy you no matter what you want. But you shouldn't think of ways to frame others. If I really didn't want you anymore, why would I spend money to let CEO Zhang leave B City? Do you think that after such a thing happened, you'll be fine if you don't clean up after yourself?
"Don't you know that my old man has always liked Leng Xinyu? All these years, he's been so protective of her. If something really happened to her, do you think that no one would know what you've done? "
