Chapter 794: Chapter 795 Why Would I Lie to You?
“Of course, it’s real!”
No matter the punishnt he might face, she disliked quitting halfway once she had started.
What if this sister was testing her, just to see the lie crumble of its own accord?
He had said he didn’t want to marry the Ruan family’s eldest daughter, and if she backed down today, Li Yuan would be faced with marrying a woman he didn’t like at all.
“You’re not lying to ?” Li Wanxing had to be sure again because she was worried about her brother.
“Why would I lie to you?” Huo Yishan retorted, “Don’t you know, that day I saw you and him together at the Rose Restaurant, I even had a big fight with him over it!”
To make her story more credible, Huo Yishan deliberately ntioned their previous incident.
But Li Wanxing sensed sothing amiss.
At the restaurant?
After thinking for a mont, Li Wanxing finally rembered which occasion it was.
But at that ti, her brother hadn’t said he had a girlfriend!
“You were dating my brother back then?”
Confronted with her skeptical gaze, Huo Yishan was not stupid; perhaps Li Yuan had told her he didn’t have a girlfriend at that ti.
“Not yet, but he was pursuing
at the ti.”
With that explanation, Li Wanxing had no further doubts.
She held her hand, “With you here, my brother won’t have to marry the Ruan family’s eldest daughter, and he can also get his inheritance!”
Though she didn’t understand the intricacies of his family, Huo Yishan could tell from Li Wanxing’s expression that as his real girlfriend, Li Wanxing seed to be at ease.
“Right, when do you plan to go back to Country A with my brother?” Li Wanxing suddenly asked.
She quite liked this prospective ‘sister-in-law’, so she sat down with her, casually inquiring when they planned to return and et the parents.
Huo Yishan, however, had not prepared herself for this.
Weren’t they supposed to wait three months? It hadn’t even been one month yet, and they were talking about going back?
“Uh, I’m not sure yet, I’ll wait for him to decide!”
Li Wanxing nodded, “That’s fine!”
…
In the evening, as she watched the sky darken outside the window, Huo Yishan returned ho and curled up on the sofa, lost in thought.
Suddenly, her phone started ringing.
After hesitating for two seconds upon seeing the caller ID, Huo Yishan finally answered, “Hello?”
“Have you eaten yet?”
“Not yet.”
“I’ve booked a couple’s set al at Rose Restaurant.”
“Are you asking
out?”
“I am technically your boyfriend, shouldn’t I be doing that?”
Huo Yishan hesitated for a few seconds, sowhat unsure about her own feelings.
It was all fake, after all, and she was aware that Li Yuan’s ntion of ‘boyfriend’ also referred to a pretend relationship, but she found herself looking forward to the dinner.
After hanging up the phone, she drove to the Rose Restaurant by herself.
Upon entering, she saw Li Yuan sitting by the window, dressed in a suit, his proud and deep profile sharp and distinctive, exuding an air of depth and maturity.
She, dressed in a light yellow lace dress and wearing just a coat over it, holding her purse, walked over to him.
Hearing footsteps, Li Yuan turned around, then stood up and pulled out a chair for her.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a gentlemanly side?” she couldn’t help but tease him as he was rarely this chivalrous.
“Shh, soone is watching us,” he suddenly said.
Huo Yishan was imdiately startled and was about to turn her head to search for the ‘gaze’ monitoring them when Li Yuan, sensing her reaction, quickly added, “Don’t look around, we’ll be suspected.”
At that, she imdiately stopped her actions and just stared straight at him across the table.
