Chapter 628: As Long as She Asked

Even though Cao Bin asked him to investigate Zheng Yue’s background, Xu Le still felt that Zheng Yue wouldn’t lie to him.
In fact, during the short period of time he had sent someone to investigate, he had even chatted with Cao Bin in an attempt to correct his opinion of Zheng
Yue.
“Believe me, she’s an especially innocent girl. She’s not the kind you think she is…” Xu Le hugged Cao Bin’s shoulder and patted him, wanting him to be at ease.
Cao Bin glared at him. “Oh.”
He didn’t want to argue with an idiot like him. When the results were out, he would know everything.
“Really…” Xu Le scratched his head.
As soon as he mentioned Zheng Yue, many merits of the other party appeared in his mind. He even wanted to teach Cao Bin how good Zheng Yue was.
Cao Bin raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “Do you really like her that much?”
“Of course.” Xu Le agreed without hesitation. “She’s the ty(e of girl I liked when
I was young.”
Xu Le had been taught well by his parents and had not grown astray since he was young. He looked at the people around him who were of equal status and most had found a partner. Some were even married.
He only felt that it was good enough that he liked a good girl. His parents had
no intention of restricting him and let him do whatever he wanted.
And Zheng Yue was the kind of girl Xu Le liked.
“Oh,” Cao Bin replied indifferently.
His cell phone beeped twice. It was a message from the person whom he had asked to check on Zheng Yue’s information just now.
Without thinking, he reached out to take the cell phone and unlocked the screen with his fingerprint. In the end, the smile on his face froze.
There were only two pages of information, and it took less than two minutes to finish reading them. However, Xu Le felt that the “Zheng Yue” he saw was so unfamiliar.
Silence stretched out from his body at this moment, and the smile and warmth in his eyes gradually dissipated.
Seeing him like this, Cao Bin knew that he was most likely right.
He leaned over and read it with Xu Le. After reading the information, he couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder.
“In the past, she used to mix around with rich second-generation heirs. Later on, she even became the CEO’s secretary, and got pregnant and had an abortion…” Cao Bin picked out a few key points.
Even Cao Bin, who had seen much in this circle, couldn’t help but be a little surprised by Zheng Yue’s “exciting” information.
Xu Le gritted his teeth and tried his best not to have an ugly expression on his face, but he still couldn’t help but let go of his cell phone and look at Cao Bin, who was the only one sitting beside him.
“Lies, it must be a lie…” His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Cao Bin looked at his expression that was even uglier than crying. “You’re the
one being lied to.”
“You’re awake now?” he asked.
It was common for people like them to be targeted, but Xu Le had a good relationship with everyone. Even if there were people with ulterior motives, they would help stop them. But he didn’t expect to be tricked by Zheng Yue.
Xu Le’s expression was ugly. “But she clearly said that she…
Then, there was another silence.
The truth was right in front of him. Cao Bin didn’t want to add fuel to the fire when his brother was in pain, so he stood at the side and waited for Xu Le to slowly recover.
After about ten minutes, he finally took a deep breath and stood up to tidy up
his expression.
“It’S all lies.” Xu Le smiled bitterly. Then, he pushed open the door and left without looking back.
He was going to look for Zheng Yue.
At this moment, Zheng Yue was still sitting with everyone in the private room next door, chatting and laughing, unaware that a disaster was approaching.
A white light suddenly leaked in from the door of the flickering private room. It was the light from the corridor.
Xu Le stood at the door. His expression couldn’t be seen clearly under the light.
“Zheng Yue, come out for a while.”
“Huh?” Zheng Yue replied in confusion.
When she saw this, she subconsciously felt that something was wrong with the other party’s condition. Then, she immediately stood up and walked over.
When Xu Le saw her coming, he pulled her out and found an empty room to bring her in.
“What’S wrong?” Zheng Yue smiled sweetly, the light in her eyes very moving. Seeing that Xu Le didn’t answer, Zheng Yue frowned worriedly and reached out to touch Xu Le’s forehead, wondering if he had a fever or wasn’t feeling well.
However, before Zheng Yue could touch him, Xu Le quickly dodged. Zheng Yue was stunned by his actions as if he was avoiding something dirty. Then, she blinked in confusion.
“Zheng Yue…” Xu Le called her.
When he called her name, he looked fixedly at Zheng Yue, studying this smile that he had once thought was beautiful. He carefully looked at the natural smile at the corners of her eyes and the feelings she had for him in her eyes.
But now, he felt that it was all a lie.
During this period of sweet interaction, Xu Le could be said to have agreed to all of Zheng Yue’s requests. He doted on her and let her do whatever she wanted. He already treated Zheng Yue as his future wife.
But-
Xu Le closed his eyes and used this opportunity to hide his sorry state and struggle. A forced smile appeared on his face.
“Do you have anything to say to me before we get married?
His tone was calm and his expression was calm.
Xu Le looked at Zheng Yue, the girl he loved deeply. His heart couldn’t help but waver as he gave her one last chance.
Thinking of the information and all the things written on it, Xu Le still couldn’t bear to see her like this.
The circle was very chaotic. Many rich children liked to play around. It was not like Xu Le didn’t know that many CEOs were keeping young models outside. However, when these things happened to Zheng Yue, there was a faint voice crazily refuting in his heart.
She was just an ordinary girl with no power or influence—
She might have been threatened and played with by the rich
second-generation heirs, or she might have been forced to be with the CEO and even become pregnant…
He could explain everything for her.
As long as Zheng Yue told him everything honestly, he could forgive her.
…As long as Zheng Yue asked.
This was the only thought left in his mind.
He looked at Zheng Yue in front of him, as if waiting for her answer.
“What, what do I want to say?” Zheng Yue looked at Xu Le.
Under Xu Le’s especially different attitude, she seemed to sense that something was wrong, but the feeling was fleeting. Before Zheng Yue could grab it, it slipped away again.
She suppressed her panic and forced a smile. “There’s nothing to say. Don’t you already know everything about me?”
“Speaking of which, I saw a cufflink just now. It looks especially suitable for you. Can you wear it at the wedding?”
Zheng Yue tried to change the topic and take Xu Le’s attention away. At the same time, she wondered if she had exposed something she had not done well recently.
She said a lot.
Xu Le naturally understood Zheng Yue, but it was precisely because he understood her that he knew Zheng Yue’s habit of saying a lot when she panicked.
But among all the words, not a single one was what he wanted to hear.
She still didn’t say it.
The light in Xu Le’s eyes gradually dissipated until it was almost gone. In the end, it was extinguished.
“Zheng Yue,” he said dryly. “Do you take me for a fool?”
Xu Le threw the phone with the information in front of Zheng Yue. What was thrown out together with it was the last bit of trust Xu Le had in Zheng Yue. Zheng Yue subconsciously caught the cell phone, not understanding what Xu Le meant. Then, when she looked down and saw the contents, her face suddenly turned pale.
“I… I can explain!” Zheng Yue suddenly looked up.
She reached out and quickly grabbed Xu Le’s clothes in front of her. She leaned in front of him and struggled on the verge of death.
“I can explain everything. T-these… Xu Le, listen to me. It’s actually not what you think—”
Xu Le raised his hand and slowly pulled Zheng Yue’s hand away with unquestionable strength.
He could accept Zheng Yue’s concealment, or he could accept that Zheng Yue had been lying to him all this time.
But only—only—
Xu Le closed his eyes. “I’ll cancel the wedding. Let’s break up and never see each other again.”
This was the last bit of dignity he could give Zheng Yue.
“1 don’t want to!” Zheng Yue refused.
She grabbed Xu Le’s wrist and placed it on her cheek, trying to arouse the other party’s feelings for her.
“Didn’t we agree to always be together and never be separated?”
“Previously, you even brought me a ring and took the initiative to confess your feelings to me! At that time, we even had a candlelight dinner together and hugged each other on the balcony to look at the stars.”
“And—”
Zheng Yue wanted to save the situation, but in the end, she stopped..
