Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

She dried her hair very quickly, and the hairdryer stopped in less than five minutes.

"I'm so tired."

As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she lay down on the bed in her pajamas, feeling utterly exhausted. "Working is so tiring, even more tiring than setting up a street stall."

"stand up."

He touched her calf beside him with his hand. "I have something to tell you."

Lu Luozhi's eyes flickered slightly. She hugged her pillow and buried her face in it, seemingly trying to escape.

"I'm tired, I don't want to listen. How about we talk another day?"

Ying Yuchuan was very perceptive and saw through her little schemes at a glance.

"What are you running away from? Or what are you afraid of?"

A man of his principles, once he says something, he means it and won't let her drag it out unreasonably.

cut.

What could she possibly be afraid of?

She, Lu Luozhi, had nothing to fear.

Can't I just not want to hear it? Seriously.

She muttered a few words to herself, then lazily sat up straight, cross-legged beside him, propped her left elbow on her leg, and rested her cheek on her palm. "Go ahead and say it, but it's fine if you don't want to."

She had an "take it or leave it" look on her face.

Before Ying Yuchuan could finish speaking, she interrupted, "Are you trying to say that the beautiful CEO Li once had a relationship with you?"

She spoke in a lazy, nonchalant tone, as if everything was under her control.

Ying Yuchuan stared intently at her with his deep gaze, then asked, "Do you want me to have had a relationship with her?"

Ignoring his gaze, she shrugged indifferently, her slender shoulders shrugging. "A woman this beautiful with such a great figure, no man would miss her, right?"

Her words made Ying Yuchuan slightly displeased.

What kind of man did she take him for?

What kind of beast would pounce on any pretty girl he sees?

"Besides, you were high school classmates. It's okay to be young and hot-blooded. I understand."

He pursed his lips, clearly disliking what she was saying.

What does it mean to be young and impetuous?

His silence made Lu Luozhi subconsciously feel that he had tacitly agreed with her words.

My heart inexplicably clenched and ached.

She waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, alright, you're done talking, right? I'm going to sleep now."

As she was saying this, she really wanted to lie back down again, but what Ying Yuchuan said next shocked her completely.

"Her name is Li Wan."

婉？

The sensitive word made her forget about lying down, and she quickly looked at him with disbelief in her eyes.

She hadn't forgotten the wet book she'd seen the first time she entered his room.

The bookmark tucked inside was signed with the name Wan.

During this time, she once thought that this girl named Wan must be the one he loved.

She even felt that the reason he didn't touch her was because of her.

Now... that girl named Wan has actually appeared.

That's the beautiful, elegant, and confident CEO, Ms. Li!

Ying Yuchuan looked into her shocked eyes and spoke again, in a very serious tone, "Lu Luozhi, listen carefully, I, Ying Yuchuan, have never dated her."

what?

Never dated?

Lu Luozhi was shocked and even more shocked.

How could that be?

That, that book...

"She was a transfer student who came to our class in our senior year of high school, and we were classmates."

With a calm expression, he told her about his past.

"She was just as beautiful back then as she is now, and many boys liked her. Once, I helped her fend off those boys who had harassed her, and after that, she became attached to me."

She said she liked me and pursued me until graduation, saying she wanted me to be her boyfriend.

Hearing this, Lu Luozhi asked cautiously, "Then, did you agree to her request?"

"no."

Ying Yuchuan answered decisively.

"Can I ask why? She's so beautiful, isn't she? Why didn't you say yes?"

Faced with her question, Ying Yuchuan remained silent for a moment.

Some images unexpectedly surfaced in his mind.

Lu Luozhi noticed it.

His silence made her heart leap into her throat.

He slowly looked away, choosing not to meet her gaze.

Lu Luozhi's heart suddenly felt as if half of it had turned cold, and she felt a little sad.
