"You don’t know anything, so stop speaking nonsense." Xu Ke looked at Li Lihua with a hostile gaze.
"Why do I know nothing? I know you cheated, you were caught fooling around with another woman behind our backs and still refuse to admit it. Yet you still want to sweet talk and continue deceiving our ngyao. From the mont you stepped into our Xu Family, I knew you weren’t so good character, and now haven’t I caught you? I have all the evidence photographed, right here, you have nothing left to argue, no matter what you say we won’t believe you anymore."
"If you’re sensible, you should pack your things and get out of our house now, and obediently divorce my daughter, leave with nothing." Li Lihua slapped the photos onto the coffee table in the living room, hands on her hips, head held high, speaking sharply.
"Mom, this is a matter between the two of us, please go back to your room, we’ll handle it ourselves." Lin ngyao wearily pressed her temple, speaking feebly.
"Why should I go back to my room? I’m your mom, I need to stand up for you here, or what will you do if you get bullied?" Li Lihua refused to leave, firmly sat on the sofa, showing a defiant expression.
"Mom, I’ll handle my own affairs, please head inside. I hope you rember what I said before." Lin ngyao turned her head to look at Li Lihua, her bloodshot eyes appeared increasingly eerie under the bright light.
Li Lihua’s expression stiffened for a mont, then she reluctantly nodded, picked up the phone from the coffee table, and turned to leave, not forgetting to caution Lin ngyao before she left, "You absolutely cannot be soft-hearted towards a man who likes to fool around outside, otherwise, if you forgive him once, there will be a second ti, and eventually countless tis."
"I know, mom, you should go." Lin ngyao said weakly.
Once Li Lihua’s figure completely disappeared from the two of them’s sight, the spacious living room instantly fell silent.
"Weren’t you going to explain? Go ahead." Lin ngyao raised her head to coldly look at Xu Ke and said.
"Today Yun Rulan ca to find , saying she likes and wants to pursue . I originally didn’t want to bother with her, but she wouldn’t leave and was very annoying. Besides, I could tell from her eyes that she had no real feelings for yet said such things. I felt she had so ulterior motive in approaching , so I wanted to find out what it was, that’s why I wasted an afternoon with her. But you must believe that you’re the only one I like, I won’t do anything to betray you." Xu Ke spoke a little rapidly, his expression slightly agitated.
"You think she approached you with a purpose, does that an she already knows your identity, and that’s why she’s interested in you and has a motive?" Lin ngyao was silent for a mont, then lowered her head, her voice carried no obvious joy or sadness.
But at this mont Xu Ke didn’t notice Lin ngyao’s strangeness at all. He was just pleased that Lin ngyao listened to him and didn’t misunderstand him, so his tone lightened up quite a bit, "Yeah, that’s exactly what I ant, so there’s really nothing between us, I just wanted to probe her to find out her motive."
"Xu Ke, apart from all this, do you have nothing else to tell ?" Lin ngyao continued to ask with her head lowered.
"Apart from this, what else should I say?" Xu Ke asked, sowhat confused.
"Haven’t I already explained everything clearly? What else is there to say?" Xu Ke truly didn’t know what else he should say, so even his face showed a rare hint of puzzlent.
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, Lin ngyao laughed mockingly, "Nothing, you indeed have nothing else to tell . It was foolish of to think of myself as important, to consider myself special. No, I am special—special in being foolish. I’m going upstairs now. Starting today, you can continue sleeping on the sofa." Lin ngyao shakily stood up, never glancing at Xu Ke the whole ti, turning to leave, but Xu Ke grabbed her wrist tightly.
"What’s wrong with you? If you have sothing to say or ask, just say it, you’re leaving not knowing what to do." Xu Ke frowned with so irritation, unwilling to let Lin ngyao leave without clearing things up, nor to leave her with any unresolved feelings.
"There’s nothing to say, I’m tired and going to rest, unless you want to sleep on the sofa too? I wouldn’t mind anyway, this house is yours. Even if you want to move out, I wouldn’t argue." Lin ngyao’s voice carried a chill, making Xu Ke release his hand involuntarily.
Lin ngyao turned and returned to her room, while Xu Ke irritably paced around the living room sofa a couple of tis. He knew Lin ngyao felt uncomfortable and upset, but he couldn’t figure out the reason for her anger. Everything had been explained, hadn’t it? What else was there to say?
The next morning, Lin ngyao was nowhere to be seen, and Yun Rulan also disappeared. If not for her high status making it impossible not to know Li Lihua, Xu Ke would have thought she was a decoy Li Lihua deliberately found to ruin his relationship with Lin ngyao.
anwhile, at the Yun Family last night, Yun Rulan nearly smashed everything in her room, leaving the floor so covered in shards that there was nowhere to step.
"If it’s not working out, just give up. Apart from him, there are so many outstanding young n in Luocheng, there’s bound to be one suitable for you." Elder Yun, looking at his most beloved granddaughter, spoke with a tone filled with affection.
"No, I must have Xu Ke. No matter how outstanding the young n of Luocheng are, they can’t compare to a prodigy from one of Shangjing’s four major families. Compared to Xu Ke, they don’t even deserve to tie his shoes. Since I’m the Princess of the Yun Family, if I’m to marry, I will marry a Prince. How could I marry a commoner?" Yun Rulan smashed the last glass in the room to pieces on the floor, feeling much more relieved.
"Clean up this room for ." After wiping her hands with a handkerchief, she tossed it to the floor, giving a cold command.
"Yes." The maid responded, and as Yun Rulan stepped out, she slipped into the room with tools like an eel, beginning her work.
"But you’ve only been with him for less than a day, and already he’s driven you to this state. If you were to really marry him and spend a lifeti with him, could you stand it? Even if you could bear it, I, your grandfather, would feel heartache." Elder Yun lovingly stroked Yun Rulan’s hair, speaking with a tone of longing.
"Moreover, the Xu Family is more powerful than our Yun Family. If you truly suffered any injustice, I wouldn’t even be able to seek justice for you. How can I rest easy with that?" A trace of concern surfaced on Elder Yun’s face.
"Grandpa, do you not believe in my charm? I will definitely win him over, but I won’t marry him. I want to be the cinnabar mole on his heart, make him love passionately and willingly do anything for ." Yun Rulan raised her head confidently, her expression both proud and certain of victory.
