The truth? That's right, all this ti, she has been wanting the truth and Yong Liwei already gave it to her. A truth that broke her heart, her trust. But at that mont… what did Bai Jingye an when he said those words? What else was there to know?
Lu ngjie was left alone with Yong Liwei in the room. It was quiet with an intense tension coming from her. It was Yong Liwei who opened his mouth to speak, breaking the silence between them, "here. Take a seat." He patted the space beside him.
She scoffed. Did he think that she would just sit beside him and act like nothing happened between them? "What else do I have to know? Haven't you already told everything to ?"
"Not everything," he replied. "Now sit," he ordered this ti.
She refused to follow him and give him the pleasure of it. Not everything? She furrowed her brows together in confusion.
Seeing that Lu ngjie was not planning on sitting close to him, he sighed in defeat. "This was not supposed to happen. You were not supposed to find out yet."
"But I just did. So now, let ask you, why the fuck are you here? And using the Han family na?" She sneered at him. "You should have done your research first if you plan on taking advantage of again. Even if most of my mories may have not returned yet, I have long rembered who Han Xukun is. Him and his family so you can't expect to believe any of your lies."
The man crossed his legs and looked at her with a calm, composed gaze. Not affected by the fact she was spurting. "I am not lying. My real na is Han Yizhou and I am the firstborn son of Han Qinshan, the wolf king of the Azure Republic."
She pressed her lips together. It was hard to believe but not many know the real na of the wolf king; the man ruling the underground, business of illegal activities, gambling, extortions, and even up to this day, corruption of public officials. The title 'wolf king' was just another title for the 'mafia king'. The Han family had infiltrated a lot of legitimate businesses, including stock manipulation sches. Because of this, other syndicates feared the Han family which made them the leading, ruling family of the Azure Republic.
This information was subconsciously running through her mind, she was rembering.
"Even if you really are Han Xukun's brother, that doesn't an that I will forgive you."
The side of his lips curled into a domineering smirk. "Forgive ? I am not asking you for forgiveness so no thanks, I don't need it."'
This… scumbag!
"If not forgiveness, why are you here? Disguised as my bodyguard? Also, have you always been in touch with Bai Jingye? Were you both misleading all this ti?"
"Misleading? Yes, that's the correct word to use." He chuckled in amusent. She has never failed on surprising him. She was quick to connect the dots.
Her brow flinched. Oh how she wished she could just punch that annoying smirk off from his face but… despite having such thoughts, she couldn't help but fight against it. His face was so beautiful that even if she was hating him at that mont, she just couldn't bring herself to ruin such a rare sight. What if she would never see such beauty again?
She sighed inwardly. She must be going crazy on having such a mindset. How could she have a weird weakness?
"I wasn't able to tell you everything the other night because you left." He leaned forward and clasped his hands together. "I don't have a choice but to tell you now that the plan is ruined."
"You're welco," she replied with a sarcastic tone in her voice. "Now can you leave? I don't want to hear anything from you anymore. Leave." She pointed at the door. She was afraid that if she learned more, she might end up hating him from her core. She wanted to return the amount of pain she received from him but at the sa ti, she preferred karma to do its tricks. Hoping it would ruin his life.
Han Yizhou stood up but instead of walking towards the door, he approached her.
Lu ngjie remained still on her ground as she glared coldly at him. "Should I kick you first before you leave?"
"I can't leave. Not when I have to stay here with you," he replied, standing right in front of her.
"Aren't you supposed to be a busy person? You shouldn't have ti to do such silly things. Don't you have more important work to do?"
"The only important work I have right now is staying by your side."
Once again, she felt her heart jump.
"Are you an idiot?" She refuted. "You're throwing away your work just to what? Manipulate ?"
The side of lips curled up, this ti, flashing her an alluring smile that sohow made her unconsciously take a step back away from him. His genuine smile was so dangerous for her heart!
"Why not? You're worth my ti."
"…"
As Han Yizhou took a step forward, closer to her, she subconsciously took a step backward. This went on until her back reached the wall.
"You don't have to worry about my job. My brother can handle it. Right now, my only job is to…" He paused and reached out.
As she watched his hand co closer to her, she could hear her heart pound loudly in her ears. Instead of going directly to touch her cheek, Han Yizhou's hand landed on the wall, beside her head. He leaned down to her level. The smirk that appeared on his lips brought out a sense of mischief that caged her to him.
"… stay by your side," he finished.
Lu ngjie was quiet for a few seconds. There was chaos inside her. This man knew how to stir up turmoil inside her. It was giving her a hard ti. She was filled with different kinds of emotions. From anger to hate to being... hopeful? She lowered her head, her fists balled firmly. He was confusing her. Which was the real him? What was he trying to do now?
"I may have used you to try and lure out Chen Yuyan's murderer but ngjie, weren't you willing to take the risk for ? If you want to be my greatest ally, you should allow to use you."
She slowly raised her head to look at him this ti, her eyes blank. "But you deceived . Played . My feelings. For what? Just to get revenge against the person who killed your lover?"
He raised a brow. "Lover?"
"That Chen Yuyan. You must have loved her so much huh?"
He blinked a few tis in realization. "Chen Yuyan was not my lover."
She furrowed her brows in confusion. "What do you an?"
"Chen Yuyan was the woman who saved my life, the person who brought to the Yong family."
