Chapter 57: Do You Have Something Going on with Him?

Upon hearing Ye Juemo’s words, Lu Jingchen was immediately infuriated. Ye Juemo was no stranger to Lu Jingchen as they were in the same business circle. He only came to An City to develop himself in the past two years. In a short period of time, he was able to force the repayment of Shenghao Corporation’s secret debts. The assets under him continued to grow. Furthermore, he was an expert in the venture capital field, and his name was in the equity books of many well-known companies. Even Grandpa had complimented Ye Juemo in front of him more than once, saying that he was young and promising, brave and astute, and a classic genius in the business world.

However, nobody knew Ye Juemo’s real identity. They only found that out after the founder of Shenghao Corporation, Feng Mingxuan, was assassinated, and he came to take over the Feng family’s enterprise and became the guardian of Feng Mingxuan’s pair of boy-girl twins.

He had long heard that Ye Juemo had a pure heart and few desires and wasn’t interested in women. There were even rumors in the business circle that he was gay. Lu Jingchen didn’t expect that he would actually be interested in his wife.

Yan Xiruo saw that Lu Jingchen’s face color was getting worse. She was afraid that he would misunderstand and fight with Ye Juemo in front of so many distinguished guests. The banquet hall was full of influential bigshots. Yan Xiruo didn’t want the three of them to be the main leads of a scandal in the business circle. She hurriedly broke free from Ye Juemo’s and Lu Jingchen’s hands, lowered her head, and ran out.

Lu Jingchen gave Ye Juemo, whose eyes were cold, a warning with his dark brown eyes. He tightly rubbed his lips and didn’t say anything. He turned around and chased after Yan Xiruo in the direction she ran to.

Ye Juemo watched their backs disappear one after another. A trace of complicatedness flashed past his deep eyes.

…

Lu Jingchen found Yan Xiruo at the corner of the stairs. He grabbed her wrist with his palm so forcefully that it seemed he wanted to crush her bones.

It hurt Yan Xiruo so much that she frowned. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Lu Jingchen refused to let go of her.

She lifted her long eyelashes and looked straight into Lu Jingchen’s sinister eyes; he looked as if he was about to eat her whole. She didn’t want to kick a big fuss over it and said coldly, “The banquet held an activity and coincidentally selected me and Mr. Ye. The organizing party requested us to have a dance together, and then we can select our prizes. That’s all I want to say. It’s up to you to believe it or not!”

“Mr. Ye?” Lu Jingchen’s lips curved, carrying with it a trace of mockery. He couldn’t wait to tear her apart. “It’s just a dance and you know so quickly that he is surnamed Ye? Yan Xiruo, tell me the truth. On the wedding night, did you and him…”

Yan Xiruo naturally knew what Lu Jingchen was going to say. She interrupted him angrily. “Lu Jingchen, don’t forget that you were the one who left me alone on our wedding night. You’re not qualified to say anything about who I am with! Anyway, I have already explained it to you. It’s up to you to believe it or not!”

Lu Jingchen saw that Yan Xiruo’s attitude toward him was getting worse. He was so angry that the green veins on his forehead bulged. His eyes became scarlet red and he said ferociously, “Fine. Even if you didn’t have anything with Ye Juemo, where did you get this gown from?”

Yan Xiruo laughed sarcastically in her heart. No matter how she explained, Lu Jingchen would just firmly believe that she was a shameless woman who lacked etiquette!

She lifted the hand that wasn’t held by Lu Jingchen and suddenly caressed his handsome face. She smiled gently. “Why? Jealous that I can still lead a good life even without you?”

When she smiled, her eyebrows curved and her dimples were deep. When light shone on that beautiful little face, it was as if there was a warm halo above her. The first reaction in Lu Jingchen’s mind was that she smiled like a pure and flawless angel…

Also, as she approached, that faint fragrance from her body overwhelmed him, and Lu Jingchen felt slightly distracted.

Why didn’t he realize in the past that there was such an attractive side to Yan Xiruo?

It was as if Lu Jingchen was possessed as he lowered his head, wanting to kiss Yan Xiruo. However, before he could touch her soft lips, someone suddenly used her knee to hit his lower body.
