Chapter 481: Subversion
Lu Yi said something completely different from what Pei Yansi had said. Not only that, his words once again overturned Shen Heyu’s imagination.
"Are you sure you heard that right?" Shen Heyu could not believe her ears.
Lu Yi took a deep breath, "Heyu, there’s no need for me to lie to you about this. If you hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have even thought of telling you. If that were the case, you would just think it was because I failed to protect you, not that you really fell for their trick."
"Do you know how I felt when I heard what you said just now? You told me that it was Pei Yansi who rescued you from Chen Wenzhou’s clutches yesterday. At that moment, I even thought about jumping from here."
"At that time, I wanted to tell you the truth about what kind of person Pei Yansi really is, but I was worried the truth would be too much for you, so I dared not speak. However, the thought of you regarding Pei Yansi as your lifesaver... In the end, I couldn’t bear the guilt and told you anyway."
Shen Heyu tugged at the corner of her mouth. She wasn’t trying to smile; she just couldn’t believe the reality. If only this were a nightmare, how good it would be.
She even took a step back. Lu Yi’s rib was broken, and he could only lie obediently in bed, unable to move.
He reached out his hand, trying to pull Shen Heyu towards him, but he was a step too short to touch even a finger of hers.
"Heyu, can you not stand so far away from me?"
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have told you this. If I hadn’t, you would definitely think yesterday’s crisis was over. But I couldn’t bear the thought of you being kept in the dark."
