Chapter 438 He Did Not Betray Him
"Yue Yirou!" Yan Ye roared angrily at her, his eyes red-rimmed. "Don't you know what you've done? How long are you going to keep pretending? I just don't understand. That Xu Shaojun is such a womanizer, and he's a bespectacled guy. He's not as good-looking as me, and he's certainly not as wealthy. How could you fall for him? How could you like him? No wonder you wouldn't let me call the police, no wonder you couldn't bear to send him to jail. How could you betray me, betray our marriage? Tell me, how far have things gone between you two? Has he ever kissed you?"
Does she like Xu Shaojun?
Mengru told Yan Ye that she liked Xu Shaojun?
Yue Yirou was completely stunned. She never expected that Jiang Mengru would say such a thing to Yan Ye.
While in the apartment, she never said a word about missing Lu Tingyun or wanting to leave with him. It was always Lu Tingyun who said he missed her, loved her, and wanted to take her away. How could Mengru distort the truth like this?
Did Lu Tingyun threaten her and force her to say that?
She hoped that was the case, but if Jiang Mengru already knew the truth, she would not be threatened by Lu Tingyun.
There's only one possibility: she did it on purpose. She hates her and doesn't want her to have a good time.
Yue Yirou was particularly heartbroken; it seemed that her decision not to tell Jiang Mengru the truth was a huge mistake.
"Speak up. What do you mean by not speaking? Am I that bad in your eyes? I can't even compare to your first love, Lu Tingyun, let alone the womanizer Xu Shaojun? Am I not even as good as him?"
"Xu Shaojun is Lu Tingyun."
Yan Ye was instantly stunned.
"Xu Shaojun is Lu Tingyun?"
"Hmm." Yue Yirou nodded. "Ye, I wanted to talk to you about this earlier, but you ran out. I was planning to talk to you about it later, but I didn't expect you to come back so quickly. I also didn't expect Mengru to say such things to you. What she said is not true. Don't believe her."
“Mengru doesn’t know that Xu Shaojun is Lu Tingyun. When we were in the apartment, Lu Tingyun wanted to take me away and told me a lot about how much he missed me. Mengru happened to hear this and she was very sad and resentful. So she deliberately said those things to you to make you misunderstand me and make things difficult for us.”
"Night, you have to believe me. I never thought of going with Lu Tingyun. I didn't betray you, I didn't betray our marriage."
Yan Ye slowly released his grip on Yue Yirou's arms. In truth, he was very skeptical of Jiang Mengru's words. However, when he recalled the scene on the night of Jiang Mengru's engagement ceremony, when Yue Yirou kept staring at Xu Shaojun, his anger rose uncontrollably. He was afraid that his woman might actually have a little bit of a crush on that man.
Now, after hearing Yue Yirou's words, he believed her, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He released her arms, but then suddenly remembered something and gripped them tightly again: "When did you find out that Xu Shaojun was Lu Tingyun? Did you already know?"
She knew it the first time she saw Xu Shaojun, didn't she? She stared at him so intently because she felt he resembled Lu Tingyun, didn't she?
She actually kept it from him for so long!
Yue Yirou frowned, enduring the pain in her arm, and said, "No, I only found out today that Xu Shaojun is Lu Tingyun after seeing the white jade pendant Mengru was wearing. I had some suspicions before. When I first saw Xu Shaojun, I felt a sense of familiarity, which is why I was staring at him then. But after what happened at the entrance of the Xinghui Hotel that day, and after hearing you say that Lu Tingyun went abroad, I dismissed my suspicions and thought that Xu Shaojun and Lu Tingyun had nothing to do with each other."
"During lunch today, Mengru took out the white jade pendant she was wearing, the same white jade pendant I came to Xingye Pavilion to ask you for, and showed it to me, saying it belonged to Xu Shaojun. That's when I realized that Xu Shaojun was Lu Tingyun. I immediately put down my chopsticks and wanted to leave and rush home, but as soon as I went out, I ran into the people Lu Tingyun sent to arrest me."
"Later, Lu Tingyun also appeared. He begged me to leave with him. Mengru happened to see this scene. I was worried that Mengru wouldn't be able to handle it if she found out, and I was also worried that Lu Tingyun would hurt her. So I didn't tell her that Xu Shaojun wasn't the real Xu Shaojun, but Lu Tingyun. Later, Lu Tingyun threatened me that if I didn't go with him, he would tell Mengru the truth and even hurt her. Under those circumstances, even if I didn't go with him, he would forcibly take me away. I walked out of the apartment with him, and Xia saw me and started fighting with them. Then you arrived."
She didn't know if Yan Ye would believe her, but she didn't want to lie to him anymore, so she told him everything truthfully.
"Night, this is how it happened. I haven't hidden anything from you. Believe me, I really haven't betrayed you."
She gazed into Yan Ye's eyes, and Yan Ye gazed back at her. He could see no trace of guilt in her eyes.
"I believe in you, Yirou."
Yan Ye released her arms, pulled her into his embrace, and held her tightly.
"Night, I am not a heartless woman, much less a promiscuous one. Since I have married you, I will remain faithful to you until the end, unless you don't want me anymore."
"I will never leave you. Never."
Yan Ye released her, cupped her face, and kissed her deeply.
Yan Ye held her in his arms, his large hand resting on her smooth shoulder, stroking it gently, a satisfied smile on his lips.
"Ye, can you think about that matter now?" After recovering, Yue Yirou asked cautiously.
"What are you thinking about?" Yan Ye was still savoring the afterglow of their passionate encounter and had no recollection of what he was supposed to be thinking about.
Yue Yirou pursed her lips, nestled in his arms, and whispered, "It's about letting Lu Tingyun go."
"You're still thinking about Lu Tingyun? You still care about him?"
As expected, he would react this way, but he still couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.
She knew she shouldn't beg him to let Lu Tingyun go, and she knew it wouldn't be easy to persuade him, but... she couldn't convince herself.
"Ye, don't overthink it. I'm not thinking about him, and I don't care about him. I just... can't be heartless. Besides, Lu Tingyun is Mengru's fiancé now. Mengru loves him very much, and I hope they can be happy together."
Yue Yirou's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible, but Yan Ye heard it all clearly. He was so angry that he really wanted to slap her head open and see what was inside.
