Chapter 1701: Chapter 1702: Why Did You Lie to Me
You know you’ve made enough fuss, so you stand up and say to Li Qiyi, "Sis, I’ve made plans with some classmates this afternoon, and now the time is about right, so I’m leaving first."
Du Yanan sees this and couldn’t help but snort coldly, "What classmates, surely he’s going to see his girlfriend. So young and already learning bad habits, talking about some kind of puppy love."
"Lao Du, I’ll bring you some ’Jingxin’ next time I come over." With that, you shake your head, close the door, and leave.
Du Yanan didn’t quite understand the meaning behind your words just now, but was too embarrassed to ask Li Qiyi.
Li Qiyi sees Du Yanan struggling, sits beside her, and softly laughs, "When you were young, you always bullied Mu Yun, but now it’s turned around, and you’re the one being bullied by him. It’s really karma and reincarnation."
"Sis, what did that kid mean by what he just said?"
"Oh, you’ve finally couldn’t hold it back, huh?" Li Qiyi lightly touches Du Yanan’s forehead with her finger and laughs, "That ’Jingxin’ comes with a suffix, it’s called oral liquid."
"Jingxin Oral Liquid?" Du Yanan suddenly understands, rushes to the window, and shouts at you as you pass by, "Li Muyun, you wait, don’t you dare fall into my hands, or I’ll make sure you regret it!"
You send an air kiss to Du Yanan and bounce away.
Wei Yingyue had already driven the Mulan car to the lakeside of the park early, sitting inside, quietly watching the young men and women rowing on the lake.
Since she came of understanding, she had never stubbornly pursued one matter or one person like this before. Maybe some people wouldn’t understand, but she didn’t need to tell others. All she wanted was to get a definite answer from Li Tian.
Being a vice president of a group, Wei Yingyue’s schedule has always been packed, but she even canceled all her morning appointments for this afternoon’s meeting, with the sole purpose to calm her mind.
When a person is overly busy, it’s difficult to calm down because there will always be many things piling up in the mind. But from morning till now, Wei Yingyue feels relaxed, it’s a feeling she has never experienced before.
When alone, Wei Yingyue thought a lot, mostly about her meeting and acquaintance with Li Tian.
As for love, Wei Yingyue dared not think much because she didn’t know what kind of feelings Li Tian had for her.
Honestly speaking, sitting in the car and watching the sunset gradually dip below the horizon, her heart also sinks with the setting sun.
She wasn’t worried about Li Tian not coming, but rather afraid that she would get an answer that would break her heart. At least, Li Tian’s recent behavior made her feel somewhat unacceptable.
Thinking of this, Wei Yingyue gently sighed.
"Why the sigh? Sighing isn’t good, oh, someone as pretty as you should smile more often."
Upon hearing the voice, Wei Yingyue quickly turned her head and saw a face that surprised her.
Wei Yingyue didn’t expect you to appear with Li Jiu’s face, she unlocked the car, and you opened the door and got in.
Then, another person climbed in from the back trunk. Wei Yingyue turned to look and found a man with a face even more beautiful than a woman’s, a real hazard for countless women!
Before Wei Yingyue spoke, you started explaining, "President Wei, let me introduce this guy to you; his surname is Bai, codenamed Heavenly Fox, he’s a real human face monster with a belly full of treachery."
"Hey, hey, that’s not fair to bash someone like this." Heavenly Fox smiled slightly at Wei Yingyue, "I’ve heard so much about Yuhang’s double beauty, today’s encounter surpasses the fame."
Wei Yingyue nodded to Heavenly Fox, then looked at you and said indifferently, "I only arranged to meet you, why did you bring someone else along?"
You shrugged helplessly, "Do you think I wanted to? This nuisance was snooping around my door early in the morning like a plaster, no matter how hard I kick, I can’t shake him off."
Heavenly Fox smiled and explained to Wei Yingyue, "Miss Wei, let me be blunt, someone intends harm to you, so I received orders to implement a protection measure for you during this period. If it causes inconvenience, please bear with it."
Wei Yingyue frowned slightly, still looking at you and asking, "Do you know who?"
"More or less, but no concrete target, the opposition is formidable, those bodyguards your father arranged won’t have any effect, so after Heavenly Fox talked to me, I agreed to let him bring people to protect you."
Though neither Wei Yingyue nor you directly stated the relationship between Li Jiu and you, these few conversations already made it clear that Li Jiu is just a false identity, created by Li Tian.
"Why aren’t you the one protecting me?" Wei Yingyue asked without thinking.
You paused and said, "I have other tasks, it’s not convenient, and..."
"Got it!" Wei Yingyue quickly interrupted, then turned to Heavenly Fox, "Mr. Bai, I’d like to have a private conversation with my fiancé, could you please leave?"
Heavenly Fox was slightly taken aback, shrugged, and laughed, "Alright, but no funny business."
Saying this, Heavenly Fox playfully winked his left eye at you.
Once Heavenly Fox left, Wei Yingyue looked at you and asked, "Why did you lie to me?"
"I didn’t deceive you," you replied naturally.
Hearing this, no matter how well-mannered Wei Yingyue was, she stared at you with apricot eyes, "Didn’t you say Li Tian was dead before? But why are you appearing before me now!"
You leaned back on the seat, different from other jeeps, most of Wei Yingyue’s Mulan SUV was custom assembled, the seats were not typical SUV seats, they were transplanted from a Ghost Supercar. You also had a Ghost in your Middle East home, you often drive it, so you’re sensitive to the unique aura of the seat.
With a light sigh, you slowly began to speak, "Actually, there’s a misunderstanding between us, or rather, our understanding itself is flawed."
Before Wei Yingyue could react, you continue, "When I met you, I was called Li Tian; and now as Li Jiu, can you understand what I mean?"
Wei Yingyue is quite clever, immediately lowering her gaze, looking at you steadily, "So, all I’ve insisted on during this time was just an illusion?"
You don’t want to hurt Wei Yingyue too deeply, after all, she’s one of the few girls who could make you feel compassion.
Slowly and softly, you ensure your voice sounds gentler, "Li Tian is a secluded identity I carried for six years; Li Jiu is specially created for this mission, once it’s over, he’ll be erased forever. Compared to Li Jiu, Li Tian is a person, Li Jiu is just a name, a face."
