Chapter 154 : This One Must Prove My Own Innocence!
Chapter 154 - This One Must Prove My Own Innocence!
“I'm back.”
Opening the door, Lin Fan led Zhou Yan and the other man into the apartment.
The moment they entered, they felt a heavy, grim atmosphere.
Long Yue sat with her arms crossed and her legs crossed, her expression stern and unsmiling, quietly watching them. She had the air of someone about to launch an interrogation.
An Yao stood by her side, the corners of her mouth secretly turned up, already unable to wait to see the Empress and the Demon Sovereign have a falling out.
“S-Sister-in-law…”
Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai greeted Long Yue guiltily.
“Yue'er…”
Lin Fan was just about to speak but was cut off by Long Yue raising her hand.
“You, don't talk yet. I have to ask them something first.”
With that, Long Yue's gaze fixed intently on Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai, and she asked in a deep voice:
“My maid said she heard you two saw Lin Fan go to a hotel with Yingnü. Is that true?”
“……”
Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai's hearts trembled violently. They looked up in shock at the triumphant An Yao.
They never thought their conversation in the car would be overheard by her!
Now sister-in-law knows that Lin Fan cheated!
This put them in a difficult position.
If sister-in-law didn't know, they could have pretended they saw nothing and kept their mouths shut.
But now, she already knew the truth, and she knew that they had discovered Lin Fan's infidelity. If they deliberately tried to hide it now, it would just be self-deception.
But if they admitted it, they would be acting as witnesses, confirming that Lin Fan had cheated!
What were they supposed to do…
Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai were in turmoil, and could only look to Lin Fan for help.
Lin Fan was smiling, his expression calm and unhurried. He gave them a slight nod, signaling them to answer truthfully.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai hesitated no longer and gave Long Yue a slight nod.
“Yes, sister-in-law… But, maybe Lin Fan was just discussing some business with her at the hotel.”
After saying that, Zhou Yan couldn't help but want to slap himself.
Going to a love hotel to discuss business? He could even say something that would only fool a three-year-old. Not even he believed it…
“Alright. I understand.”
Seeing Zhou Yan's flustered attempt at an explanation, Long Yue's pretty face instantly grew a few degrees colder.
Originally, she didn't really believe that Lin Fan would betray her and do such a thing. But now, seeing Zhou Yan's performance, she couldn't help but believe it!
She knew the relationship between Zhou Yan and Lin Fan better than anyone.
As one of Lin Fan's few close friends, he would definitely be on his side, making excuses and defending him!
“Lin Fan! You, follow me inside!”
Long Yue didn't say anything more, but stood up and walked into the bedroom.
She wanted to talk to Lin Fan alone, and also didn't want to lose her composure and make a scene in front of the others.
“Lin Fan, no matter what sister-in-law says or how angry she gets, you have to sincerely apologize and coax her, you know!”
“A woman as good as sister-in-law is one in a million. If you piss her off and she leaves, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!”
Zhou Yan leaned in close to Lin Fan and whispered his advice.
Lu Zhai at his side also nodded in agreement.
A good woman who is willing to endure hardships with you, doesn't mind that you're poor, and will always defend you in front of others is hard to find!
What's more, sister-in-law is as beautiful as a fairy, with a graceful figure. Besides her appetite, she has absolutely no flaws!
At this moment, their hearts were even more anxious than Lin Fan's.
“Don't worry. It's not a big deal. I'll just have a good talk with her.”
Lin Fan smiled slightly, waved his hand with a calm and leisurely air, and walked straight into the bedroom.
Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai quietly watched him enter the bedroom. It wasn't until the door closed that they couldn't help but sigh.
At a time like this, how can he still smile…
And he says it's not a big deal!
If this isn't handled well, their relationship could be ruined!
……
Inside the bedroom.
Long Yue sat on the edge of the bed, once again crossing her arms and legs, and put on a cold, interrogating expression.
“Is what Yanzi and the others said true?”
“Yes.”
Lin Fan stood tall and admitted it frankly.
Long Yue was surprised that he admitted it so readily and without batting an eye. She couldn't help but frown.
“Then do you have anything to explain to This Empress?”
“Yes! I did indeed arrange to meet Yingnü at the hotel, but as Yanzi said, it was just to discuss some business.”
“Discuss business? Early in the morning, in a hotel?”
Long Yue's frown deepened, her face full of skepticism.
Lin Fan's expression was frank and composed.
“Correct.”
“What business couldn't be discussed at home? Were you worried This Empress would find out?”
Long Yue asked, dissatisfied.
Even if Lin Fan hadn't really betrayed her, it was a fact that he had discussed matters with others behind her back.
This feeling of not being trusted also made her very unhappy.
“It was indeed a rather troublesome matter. I just didn't want you to worry.”
Lin Fan smiled slightly and took a step forward, but was stopped by Long Yue's cold shout:
“Stop! This Empress didn't give you permission to move! Stand still!”
Lin Fan: “…”
Lin Fan's steps halted, and he silently retreated.
“This Empress can let the matter of you discussing business behind my back go, for now. But there's one thing This Empress needs you to tell me personally right now!”
“Tell me the truth, did you betray This Empress?”
Long Yue stared intently at Lin Fan. The moment she asked the question, her heart tightened as if grasped by an invisible hand, and she was filled with apprehension.
Right now, she just wanted to hear his answer with her own ears!
Lin Fan met her gaze without flinching.
“This One swears, I have done absolutely nothing to wrong you, Yue'er!”
Hearing these solemn words of love, the nervousness in Long Yue's heart instantly vanished, replaced by a violent thumping. The joy in her heart was impossible to hide.
To conceal her joy and the fluttering in her heart, she let out a light snort and turned her head away like a tsundere.
“Hmph, who knows if what you're saying is true or not…”
“Do I need to prove it?” Lin Fan asked with a smile.
“Fine then. Show This Empress your proof.”
Long Yue lifted her snow-white neck, putting on an expression that said, 'I'd like to see just how you're going to prove it.'
At this point, she already believed in her heart that Lin Fan hadn't betrayed her, but she was simply curious and wanted to see how he would prove it.
Without another word, Lin Fan waved his hand and set up a sound-proofing barrier in the bedroom.
Hmm?
Long Yue was baffled.
Why did he suddenly put up a sound-proofing barrier…?
Under her confused gaze, Lin Fan silently undid his buttons, took off his shirt, and walked straight toward her, step by step.
“W-Wait! Wait! Why are you suddenly taking your clothes off?! Stop! Don't come any closer!”
Long Yue's pretty face grew even redder as she quickly cut him off in a delicate voice.
Lin Fan was unmoved. He pushed her down onto the bed, leaned in close to her face, and gave a teasing smile.
“To prove that This One didn't cheat, of course.”
“Wait! You don't have to prove it! This Empress believes you! I believe you, okay?!”
Long Yue frantically pressed her hands against Lin Fan's bare chest.
You have to know, there are still other people outside!
“That won't do. This One must prove my own innocence!”
Lin Fan leaned down and, before Long Yue could speak again, his lips sealed her alluring, moist red ones.
Soon, the sounds of singing warblers and chirping swallows echoed within the room…
Outside, Zhou Yan, An Yao, and the others waited anxiously. After a long time, they still hadn't heard the slightest sound from inside, which made them very confused.
How is there no noise at all from inside…
It's so worrying!
