“Qianyu, Qianyu!” Qiao Qing’s shouts interrupted Lan Qianyu’s thoughts.

Lan Qianyu’s train of thought became clear as she raised her gaze, “Let’s go back. I’m tired.”

“Qianyu, are you still angry at me?” Xiao Qi desperately explained, “I had a few encounters with Bai Lu because of my company’s dealings. She used business as an excuse to meet me. I admit that I lied to you, but there’s really nothing between us. I never did anything that let you down. You have to believe me!”

“You were with Bai Lu previously at Youse, right?” Qiao Qing stared at him with sharp eyes. “I saw Bai Lu riding atop of you and kissing you. Do you think that I’m blind?”

Xiao Qi was startled and quickly explained, “Bai Lu threw herself on me and kissed me, but I pushed her away immediately.”

“Then, why were you meeting her today?” Qiao Qing asked aggressively.

“Qiao Qing, I have said, she used business as an excuse to meet me. I am too worried about the company going bankrupt, so…”

“Business, business. Is business so important in your life? What about Qianyu?”

“I…”

The two of them argued till their faces were flushed, as if Qiao Qing was the one cuckolded. Lan Qianyu remained expressionless and didn’t even say a single word.

“The two of you, quit arguing!” Shen Xin growled frustratedly.

The two people finally quieted down. Qiao Qing glared at Xiao Qi furiously and said disgruntledly, “I thought you were an honourable man. I didn’t expect you were just like Xiao Han, both of you are…”

“Qiao Qing!” Shen Xin interrupted Qiao Qing and glared at her with a warning look.

Qiao Qing pursed her lips and didn’t dare to shoot her mouth anymore.

Lan Qianyu’s eyelashes shook once and she supported her forehead with her hand. She didn’t want to think about that man again.

Xiao Qi looked at Lan Qianyu uneasily, and asked carefully, “You will believe me right, Qianyu?”

Lan Qianyu looked at him meaningfully, and said seriously, “You know me, Xiao Qi. I don’t like to be paranoid or plot and scheme against people. I will not blame you if you really have something going on with Bai Lu. After all, she had been pursuing you for all these years, and your families had known each other for generations. She would be a great help in your career and I am not able to give you anything. If you tell me honestly now, I will leave peacefully and will never harass you or hate you.”

“No, no. You have to believe me, Qianyu.” Xiao Qi denied swiftly.

“You listen to what I have to say first.” Lan Qianyu was very calm. “You know I hate to be deceived the most and you know what marriage means to me. I will only get married once in my life and I don’t want to make a mistake. The day after tomorrow will be our wedding day. If I discover that you have duped me after we get married…” There was a fierceness in her eyes. “I cannot predict what kind of extreme actions I would take!”

Xiao Qi looked at her stunned. He suddenly remembered that incident which happened three years ago. His heart began to panic unexplainably, but he quickly said resolutely, “I’m not lying to you, Qianyu. I really am not.”

This was the only time that he had lied so confidently that he almost believed that he really never had any relationships with Bai Lu. He was telling himself unflinchingly in his heart, “I love Qianyu. I absolutely cannot lose Qianyu.”

“Alright, I’ll believe you!” Lan Qianyu curled her lips slightly and left all the doubts behind. Even though her instincts were telling her that Xiao Qi had a lot of suspicious points, she still chose to believe him. After all, he had never lied to her before. After all, it was him who accompanied her through the six darkest years of her life.
