Chapter 39

" How is Yu Yin?"

Maybe the question was too unexpected. Ye Zhengchen was silent for some time, then looked closely at me.

I jumped in again, " I heard you guys got married. Congratulations!"

Ye Zhengchen froze for a moment, then spoke clearly, "I did not marry her. At that time, the situation was such that I had no choice.."

'I did not marry her', these words echoed in my head over and over again.

If only I had heard this sentence three years ago, things may have been different…

Unfortunately, at that time , there was nothing he could tell me. He could only watch as my heart broke when one lie after another was exposed.

Now he was telling me the truth, but how could I answer ?

We had gone so much ahead now. How could we go back to the past now?

We could only blame our own fates that we had met the wrong people at the wrong time.

I had no regrets anymore. It was all in the past. All I wanted now was that Zhong Tim would not suffer in the interrogation room.

As for anything else, I dared not think about it.

The pretty waitress knocked at the door and came in with a spicy chicken dish and two bowls. She placed them on the table.

We kept looking silently at her

She glanced at us and then went out.

" Girl, I missed you terribly in the last three years!"

In one sentence, he had brought back the feeling of intense longing I used to feel for him.

I smiled, but it felt fake.

" What is it that you want to ask me?"

I breathed in deeply and said, " Even if your marriage with Yu Yin is fake, isn't it true that you shared the same bed with her for the last three years?"

Before I had finished my sentence, Ye Zhengchen slammed his cup down on the table, causing the hot tea to spill on his hand

" Who told you this ? Yu Yin?" He clenched his hand in a fist and barked ut angrily, " You even believed such absurd stuff?"

I looked at my cup, the tea in it was trembling

"Why would you prefer to believe whatever she says, but decide not to trust me?"

He sounded gloomy and upset now.

" It's not that I believe her and not you", I sighed " In this world, I don't believe anyone…"

This the lesson he had taught me, one that I was never going to forget.

He looked out of the window, taking a moment to calm down.

" I was only working with her. There was nothing else between us but work."

I didn't say anything. Instead, I stared at the diamond ring on my finger.

He looked down and followed my gaze to look at the ring as well

The ice blue light refracted from the diamond. I did not understand how a piece of coal could turn to something so beautiful.

Right! This was because it had gone through millions of cuts and millions of polishing.

Now it represented eternal commitment.

He took the watch from the table and put it in his pocket.

After eating a tasteless lunch, Ye Zhengchen dropped me back to my residence. He didn't speak at all on the way. When I got of the car, I told him, " I will go back to the south. Let me know if there is any news about Zhong Tim."

Suddenly, he grabbed my hand. His grip was so strong that the ring cut in my finger causing me pain. I clenched my mouth

I didn't pull out my hand but he released me. " Don't worry. I will find a way to get your fiancé off."

"Thank you !"
