Yuexi snorted coldly, “Don’t flatter yourself. You can be with whoever you want; likewise, I’ll go wherever I want. It would be fine as long as we don’t interfere with each other.”

“Oh? Really? But why do I think that you’re jealous?” Li Fengjue looked at her amusingly.

Yuexi rolled her eyes at him and wanted to pull the car door open. But Li Fengjue stopped her again. He looked straight into Yuexi’s eyes and said seriously, “The relationship between Li Ya and me is not like what you think.”

Yuexi didn’t want to pay any attention to him; however, she couldn’t help but ask, “Then, the other day, you guys … ”

She regretted immediately the moment the words slipped out of her mouth. She just said that they’d better not interfere with each other, but now, here was she asking him so eagerly. It clearly showed how much she cared about this matter. “You just saw at the end. I met her on that day to let her know that we can’t be together. That hug at the end meant goodbye.”

He reached out and held Yuexi into his arms. He slowly held her tighter as their bodies clung to each other. His voice was low but charming, “What I told you before was true. I only want to hold you tightly in my arms.”

Yuexi was dumbfounded as she stared at the man in front of her, with her heart suddenly beating violently. She couldn’t figure out whether Li Fengjue was telling the truth or playing tricks with her. After all, he had taken advantage of her too many times. However, even if it was a lie, her heart immediately melted by his sweet-nothings. Li Fengjue knew her too well. Maybe he even knew her better than herself. Just that one sentence and all the doubts in her heart were gone.

Looking at his serious face, Yuexi thought about trusting him again. She was pulled out of her thoughts by her incoming call on her phone. She glanced at the screen to see the caller ID-Xu Linchen. Crap! How can she forget about this unfortunate person? Seeing her facial expression, Li Fengjue asked, “What’s wrong?”

His eyes inadvertently fell on her cell phone. Yuexi quickly put away the phone with a guilty conscience and laughed it off to hide her embarrassment, “Nothing. I’ve been out for a while, so my colleagues just called me to go back to have a meal.”

Li Fengjue let go of her and said, “Then I will wait for you here. After the meal, I will take you home.”

Yuexi quickly waved her hand and made a random excuse, “You must have never attended a colleague’s party before. It is going to last for a long time. I will call you before I return home.” She said, thinking that since she had made a concession and accepted his apology, Li Fengjue cannot be stubborn. As expected, he kissed her on her forehead before saying with a tinge of strictness in his voice, “Okay, then, be careful. I will pick you up after the meal.”

She quickly nodded and pushed open the door of the car. She stood sideways to watch him leave. It was only when she couldn’t see the car anymore; she breathed a sigh of relief. She then returned to the private room and told her colleagues that she had to leave in advance. Then she hurried to the address that Xu Linchen had sent her.

This was an even more exquisite restaurant. After all, it was personally picked by Xu Linchen. As a young master born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he naturally had a good taste. Moreover, the restaurant was vacant; it seemed that he had reserved the entire restaurant. When he saw Yuexi coming over, his eyes shined as he smiled and said, “I was worried that you would stand me up.”

Taking out the card from the bag, Yuexi placed it in front of him and said, “This is your card. Please don’t humiliate me with this kind of thing again!”

Xu Linchen quickly explained, “I didn’t mean that way. I just thought you are working too hard.”

“I work hard of my own accord. I told you that I would rather starve to death than accept your charity! Besides, such a vicious woman like me should have died in the broken warehouse long ago. Right?”

His expression suddenly became ugly. It was true when they say the first impression was important. He left a bad impression on their first meeting, and he only had himself to blame for that.

“At that time … I apologized to you! I didn’t know you at that time, but now I want to take care of you. Are you not going to give me a chance again?”

“No.” She didn’t want to mess around with him anymore. So, she straightforwardly asked, “What do you mean by that sentence today?”

Xu Linchen noticed that Yuexi was losing patience. He collected his thoughts before replying, “You told me someone kidnapped you and almost raped you while I was in the hospital. I asked my family about this, and they denied doing so. I think you must have misunderstood.”

“Impossible! That person clearly said that it was the Xu family who made him do it!” Yuexi was very sure of herself.

Xu Linchen’s eyes deepened. He said seriously, “We Xu family will certainly admit what we have done. But we won’t be blamed for the things we haven’t done. I will definitely do a thorough investigation of this matter. Not only can it clear our family’s name, but also you can get revenge!”

Get revenge? Yuexi curled up the corners of her lips and raised her eyes to look at him coldly. “If I do hold any hatred, then it must go against the Xu family. If it weren’t for you, my father wouldn’t have been dead!”

Xu Linchen frowned deeply and held her hand, “I know I was wrong before. But you have to know, Li Fengjue was just using you. Do you think he really loves you?”

After hearing this, Yuexi sneered and looked at him coldly, “The men of the Xu family are really interesting. If Li Fengjue doesn’t love me, then you and your big brother really do love me?”

“My big brother? What do you mean? ” Xu Linchen looked at her in confusion.

Yuexi withdrew her hand and said in a cold voice, “Before you, your big brother once said that he would guarantee me a comfortable life. As long as I am with him, I will live an extravagant life. Do you find any differences between you and him?”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Xu Linchen’s face became ugly at her words, “I’m not like him. I’m sincere. Besides, my big brother is already married.”

Running her finger through her hair, Yuexi laughed profusely, “Don’t you have a woman? Don’t you want to keep me as your mistress? Will you marry me, a woman with no family background?”

She sneered, watching Xu Linchen’s expression growing darker and darker. “Okay, let’s pretend we haven’t seen each other today. Otherwise, things will become ugly if your big brother finds out.” After saying this, Yuexi left without looking back. The moment she turned around, she curled up the corners of her mouth coldly.

Even God was helping her now. Wouldn’t it be wasteful if she didn’t make good use of it? Walking out of the restaurant, Yuexi still had some doubts in her mind. Xu Linchen said that it wasn’t the Xu family who kidnapped her. Then who would it be? After all, such a wealthy family like the Xu family was generally arrogant. If they wanted somebody to die, they probably wouldn’t conceal their intention. But who else would want to hurt her?
