Chapter 137

Lu Chenhuai reached out, cupping the back of Jiang Jinyue's head, and gently pulled her toward him. Forehead against forehead. "Why else would I go to such lengths to keep you by my side?" "But our relationship at the time was just a mutual exchange of needs." "If I had told you back then that I liked you and wanted you to stay, would you have agreed?" Certainly not! At that time, she had just suffered a major blow; the very word "love" would only have made her retreat three thousand paces. If someone she considered family could abandon her at a moment's notice, would a man she had only known for a few days really like her? Jiang Jinyue sighed. "Fine, I believe you were just talking drunken nonsense." She chose to believe he hadn't been trying to coax her on purpose. Lu Chenhuai smiled helplessly. He knew she wouldn't believe him. Who was there to blame? Only his own arrogance at the time. *** Zhang Ru had paid no mind to Min Yu’s anger that evening. Given how much she liked him, he assumed she would be the one to seek him out and make amends. But he didn't wait for Min Yu’s apology; he waited for the police to show up at his door. It wasn't until he saw the security footage of himself using his phone to photograph the data on Min Yu’s computer that he realized he had been set up by her. She had known it was him all along.
