However, just as she had assumed that this high and mighty man had given her all of his uniqueness, a pair of invisible palms had cruelly crushed all of her hopes and dreams.
So it wasn't him. Leng Xinyu, you're so naive. You didn't expect this, did you?
Qin Fangang … Lan Ruoran …
She felt a chill run up from the bottom of her feet. She felt cold, so cold that her nose started to feel sour and astringent. Her mind was blank and muddled. She couldn't think, so whatever she heard entered her ears and lingered in her heart. In the end, it turned into sharp thorns that pierced her chest, the softest part of her body, and started to hurt.
…
"… Qin Fangang, I don't know what your motive and mentality is to end up like this with Leng Xinyu, but I think that we used to have a relationship. Even if you don't acknowledge it, I know that it was my fault back then. You're a man with such strong self-esteem, so you must feel uncomfortable. So I won't tell anyone about what happened between you and Leng Xinyu, but you don't have to let others expose it to hurt me. I …"
"You called me here today just to tell me this?"
In the room, Qin Fangang reached out and put out the cigarette butt. The man's brows were tightly knitted. He stood up, and his expression was clearly impatient. His tone was much colder. "When did you start to think so highly of yourself?"
"I …"
"That's enough, Lan Ruoran. Saying such useless words will make you look especially stupid. I hope you can understand that I …"
Before Qin Fangang could finish speaking, there was a sudden bang from outside. He froze and instinctively stopped what he was going to say. His sharp gaze looked at Lan Ruoran. After a moment, he suddenly thought of something. He reached out and pushed the woman in front of him aside and strode towards the entrance.
The door to the hotel suite was half-open, but there was no one at the door. Beside the door, there was a blue folder with the Lu Clan logo at the top.
Qin Fangang walked over and bent down to pick up the folder. He opened it and skimmed through it. He didn't find anything out of the ordinary, but of course, it wasn't the folder that made him feel strange. It was the fact that someone had been in the room. He couldn't be sure who that person was, but it was obvious that that person had overheard his conversation with Lan Ruoran.
Did that person run away after hearing it? He even left the folder behind …
Qin Fangang's gaze darkened. His slender fingers flicked the folder with the folder and casually placed it on the table at the entrance. When he turned around, he happened to see Lan Ruoran, who had followed him out.
She seemed to be very surprised as well. "… Someone came in?"
When she saw the folder next to Qin Fangang, her expression instantly changed and she became very nervous. "… Someone from the Lu Clan? What's going on? Who exactly is it? Did you hear what we just said? "
Qin Fangang did not make a sound. His long and narrow eyes stared at Lan Ruoran without blinking. The light in his eyes swirled, but it was filled with a cold and sharp light.
Lan Ruoran's heart thumped. She couldn't resist the man in front of her with such an aggressive gaze.
But at the same time, she also knew that she couldn't panic now.
Qin Fangang was much more difficult to deal with than Lu Yihan. His eyes, especially, were deep and dangerous. Five years ago, part of the reason why she had to choose between Lu Yihan and him in England was because she knew very well that this man wasn't someone she could easily control.
And after five years, time had obviously polished this man to be even more deep, reserved, and calm. But at the same time, he was also extremely dangerous.
Of course, she knew who the person who had just walked in was.
She had deliberately asked the Tang Miao to put on an act in front of Leng Xinyu and had her send the person here. Her motive was, of course, to let Leng Xinyu hear what she had just said. Obviously, the effect was immediate.
That woman had run away. Ha, she would probably be really shocked if she heard everything, right?
Five years ago, the things that had been exposed in England were obviously done by Qin Fangang. She didn't expect that this man would actually go against her for Leng Xinyu. If it weren't for the fact that she still had a final bargaining chip, she would have almost died in front of Lu Yihan that day. But Qin Fangang was really too dangerous. She couldn't take revenge on him, so she would take revenge on Leng Xinyu.
At the very least, she had to start a fire in his backyard. This way, not only would she be able to vent her anger, but she would also be able to distract Qin Fangang. More importantly, she would definitely not tolerate Leng Xinyu living a more comfortable life than her. Leng Xinyu was occupying the position of "Lady Lu," yet she was still having an ambiguous relationship with her husband's biological brother. This b * tch, even God didn't punish her. So now, she was going to punish her first.
Why wouldn't she kill three birds with one stone?
…
"Qin Fangang, why are you looking at me like that?" Lan Ruoran calmed herself down and pretended to be at a loss as she asked.
Qin Fangang reached out and placed his hand on the counter at the entrance. His long, slender fingers with distinct joints pointed at the blue folder. He narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing Lan Ruoran at all. "I'm only going to ask you this once. Get your facts straight and tell me everything."
"…"
"The person who just came in, was she specially arranged by you? Who is she? "
Lan Ruoran's heart thumped wildly. She instinctively clenched her fists behind her back. She knew that Qin Fangang was the hardest person to fool, but she didn't expect him to be so sharp as to ask her directly. She was obviously caught off guard, but she still suppressed her emotions and didn't dare to show the slightest hint of it on her face.
She pursed her lips and controlled the speed of her words. "… What do you mean? Why would I specially arrange for someone to come here? Do you think it's good for me to let the Lu Clan know about our relationship? Qin Fangang, you don't have to think of me as such a brainless person. I'm still Lu Yihan's woman. Is there a need for me to make things difficult for myself? "
"I hope you're telling the truth."
Qin Fangang nodded. His thin lips sank slightly, making his exquisite features appear even colder. "If I find out that you plotted something like this today, you should know what the consequences will be."
Lan Ruoran's lips suddenly turned pale. She was still a little fearful. She had plotted against Leng Xinyu to come here, so she was 70% or 80% sure that she would succeed. According to Leng Xinyu's personality, she would definitely turn around and leave after hearing half of what she said. She didn't expect that she would actually drop the folder. Now, she was obviously putting herself in more danger.
But even so, at this moment, she naturally chose to deny it to the end.
"… Why are you threatening me? I really don't know anything. Qin Fangang, I asked you to come here today to beg you to be merciful. I won't look for Leng Xinyu again, but I also hope that you can continue to keep what happened five years ago a secret. Let's pretend that we don't know each other … I know that a man like you wouldn't tolerate the woman you like standing next to another man. It just so happens that that position is exactly what I want. So, actually, we don't have any conflict, right? Do you think I need to be so stupid as to find someone to eavesdrop on our conversation? And then tell Lu Yihan what I said? And in the end, I'll end up with nothing? "
Lan Ruoran's words seemed to make sense and there were no loopholes.
But in Qin Fangang's heart, he still had doubts. But in a short period of time, he couldn't find anything. Unwilling to face Lan Ruoran again, he reached out and took the document. "I still say the same thing. I've given you a chance. If I find out that you lied to me, don't blame me for not warning you."
With that, the man's tall figure turned around and left the hotel suite.
Lan Ruoran watched as he closed the door behind him. Her legs turned to jelly, and she leaned weakly against the wall beside her.
…
That was close.
However, Leng Xinyu, how did she feel now?
Did she feel like she was better off dead?
At the thought of this, Lan Ruoran only felt delighted. Her exquisitely made-up face instantly broke into a carefree and unrestrained smile. The faintly discernible glint in her eyes was vicious.
…
— — Or, Miss Lan, do you think that after sleeping with me five years ago, I'll still reminisce about it today?
…
— — Back then, I did leave you first. But even so, I don't think you're an ungentlemanly man. Could it be that you exposed those things in the newspaper because you wanted to take revenge on me?
…
Walking on the busy street, Xin Yu couldn't help but wrap her arms around herself. It was cold. She was cold from head to toe. Her entire heart felt like it was being frozen.
The words she'd just heard kept echoing in her mind, reminding her clearly and cruelly that all of this wasn't a dream. It was real.
Qin Fangang and Lan Ruoran …
No wonder she'd felt that the two of them seemed to know each other. The way Lan Ruoran looked at Qin Fangang didn't seem right at all. But at that time, she'd only suspected it and hadn't thought too deeply about it. And she had to admit that she really didn't want anything to happen between Qin Fangang and Lan Ruoran. Even if they really knew each other, she really … had never thought in that direction.
— — Five years ago, in England, in bed …
These words were like sharp knives, fiercely stabbing Xin Yu's heart, making it impossible for her to calm down. The images in her mind, her thoughts, everything seemed to be controlled by someone else. The images of Qin Fangang hugging her and kissing her, the female lead in those images had become Lan Ruoran … How intensely they rolled around in bed …
Xin Yu felt like she was going crazy. Why? Why did things turn out like this?
