“Would you believe me if I told you that I’m only making use of her?” asked Lin Jingxuan helplessly.
Ye Erruo could not help finding this funny. In fact, she actually burst out laughing when she heard that. “Lin Jingxuan, do you know how ludicrous and disgusting your behavior is?”
Perhaps, there had once been a time when she would have believed his every word at face value right away when he acted piteously before her and explained things to her in a gentle voice.
Seeing that the woman was willing to speak of this matter with him, he was certain that she must have been angry with him over his affair with her best friend.
His voice sounded more helpless than ever. “I knew you wouldn’t believe it, but to be honest, I have known that Gu Feirou is the princess of Blue Tower Royalty for a long time.”
“What about it?” She was starting to feel a little warm in the room, so she started peeling off her jacket while seeing what that clown Lin Jingxuan was up to.
“It kills me to have you stay by Mo Jiangye’s side even a second longer. Therefore, because of my selfish desire to marry you sooner, I could only resort to making use of Gu Feirou and her princess status in a bid to quickly attain the Lin Family’s power from Mo Jiangye’s hands. Only by doing this could we get married as soon as possible.”
She scoffed in response, “S-So you and… Lin Jingxuan, she was my best friend! In order to achieve your goals, you’re allowed to resort to unscrupulous means?”
“I’m sorry, Ruoruo. I didn’t think too much about it. I-I was just too anxious to marry you and have you become my wife,” he frantically explained.
Then, Mo Jiangye approached and handed her the cup of hot water he had poured for her.
The woman glanced at her husband before reaching for the cup and taking a sip. “Is that so?”
Lin Jingxuan let out a sigh again. “I used to think that only by becoming the person-in-power in my family would I ensure your safety and get married to you. It’s why I was so eager to resort to those extreme methods. I hid these things from you just so that you wouldn’t be vexed over them.”
Vexed? The hell I would be vexed!
Her countenance turned icy as she tightened her grip around the cup.
“I knew I couldn’t keep it from you any longer as I watched you drifting further away from me. Becoming the person-in-power of the Lin Family is meaningless if I lose you. However, I’ll no longer disturb you if… if you’re living a blissful life with Mo Jiangye.”
“…”
“If someday he lets you down, you’re free to return to my side any time you want to. I’ll be waiting for you,” he declared devotedly.
Then, Mo Jiangye spoke up and asked, “Who’s on the line?”
She rolled her eyes at him in return. Go on. Keep up the pretense.
“Who are you conversing with that put that awful look of disgust on your face? You look as though you’ve eaten dung.” His voice, being neither too loud nor too soft, could be heard from the other end of the line.
She looks as though she has eaten dung? She has an awful look of disgust on her face while conversing with me?
Lin Jingxuan’s face completely darkened in an instant.
“Why are you speaking this way? Can’t you speak civilly?” She shot her husband a glare.
“I’m asking you a question here, babe. Who are you talking with? Hm?” The man’s voice was filled with indulgence.
Ye Erruo shuddered at the mushiness. Babe? Ugh.
“Lin Jingxuan,” answered the woman, who had been left speechless.
How can he possibly not know when the phone has been on speaker mode right from the start? Whatever. He can go on pretending all he wants.
“Oh. It’s him, huh?” he replied with nonchalance.
“What are you talking about, Baby Ruo?”
“Don’t touch me.” She pushed his head away.
“Ruoruo, didn’t you say that there wasn’t anyone beside you?” Lin Jingxuan’s head was simmering with anger.
