Seeing her so uncomfortable, Cheng Lie's eyes dimmed, sure enough, her relationship with Uncle Yan is not ordinary, does that mean that what Uncle Yan said is true?

"He said a lot. Cheng Lie raised his lips and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, this kind of Cheng Lie made Tang Xiao feel a kind of fear, she even wanted to interrupt Cheng Lie's words and ask him to stop talking, she always felt that something irreparable would happen next.

However, emotionally, she had to listen to Uncle Yan's last words, perhaps, Uncle Yan had something to tell her.

She clenched her hand tightly and waited for him to continue.

Cheng Lie looked at her with mockery in his eyes, and said lightly: "He said-'Xiaoxiao, you have to remember to keep the secret between you and my young master'." ”

When he said this, he paused deliberately, and looked at her, and he found that her pupils suddenly constricted—sure enough, the so-called "secret" was real.

He looked at her with a smile, as if he was reading a flowery article, and read in a frustrated voice: "He also said—'Xiaoxiao, you have to remember what you promised me, my young master, I will leave it to you.'" Even if you don't know your mind at all, I won't blame you, because for you, my young master is willing to give his life, isn't your life saved by him? ”

Tang Xiao was flustered in her heart, she shook her head and looked at Cheng Lie pleadingly, she wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know where to start-

Everything in front of her was like an absurd dream, and she could only open her mouth wide in despair like a fish nailed to a chopping board.

If she retorted loudly and confidently, scolded him, and rebuked him—he might feel better, then at least it means that everything Uncle Yan said was pure fiction, however, there was an extremely panicked and anxious look on her face, which made his heart sink a little.

His handsome face also seemed to be covered with frost, and his eyes looked at her coldly, and he continued to repeat word by word: "'Smile, Jade Cicada...... It is the heirloom of my family, and I swore to my father that in the future I would pass it on to my wife, and then from my wife to my daughter-in-law. ’”

"......" she was still speechless.

Uncle Yan is not wrong, she doesn't blame Uncle Yan, it's because she is too stupid to think that everyone can be comforted by her own strength.

But why did she believe in herself so much......? Overestimating herself.

Seeing that she still didn't say a word, without the slightest intention of defending herself, his eyes became even colder.

Tang Xiao had never seen him look so indifferent.

But I heard his still calm words in my ears, "'Xiaoxiao, your marriage is involuntary, but, you know, my young master can give you the most complete love and the most romantic wedding. ’”

Tang Xiao shook her head, she stared into his eyes, trying to tell him not to believe these words, she wanted him to know that she had never thought like this, but she knew from his eyes that no matter what she said, he wouldn't believe it.

She felt helpless, she didn't know how to beg for his forgiveness, but—she had never betrayed him.

Cheng Lie's silent eyes looked at her quietly, "'Xiaoxiao, promise me to let him live well and make him happy.'" Sooner or later you will know that you love him and that you are just ...... There is no chance to choose. ”

Tang Xiao knew that Uncle Yan must have misunderstood the relationship between her and Pei Yuansheng, but how could she explain it to a person who had already left this world?

Uncle Yan left this world with a wrong interpretation of her relationship with Pei Yuansheng, and before he died, he thought that he could entrust her with the person who had taken care of him all his life, and for this, he even did not hesitate to hurt Cheng Lie.

Perhaps, he thought that stabbing Cheng Lie like this would help her and Pei Yuansheng be together, right?

Tang Xiao realized that it was a mistake from the beginning, and she really shouldn't mistakenly think that she could help anyone and who she could comfort.

Now, because of her stupidity, she has hurt the people she loves dearly—and the last person she wants to hurt in the world is him.

She knew how hard, how stubborn, how proud the man in front of her was, and she knew better than anyone else that the more he was, the easier it was to get some damage from her that he shouldn't have took.

After all, he had never done anything to hurt her, he loved her so much that he gave her the best in the world.

Tang Xiao has no doubt that the person who loves her the most and treats her best in the world must be him.

She didn't deserve to be nice to her in the first place, and now she made him hurt because of her.

She couldn't help but wonder, is her existence itself a drag on him?

He should have had an infinitely brilliant life, he was the pride of the sky, and there should have been a woman as powerful as him standing beside him.

That person probably never meant to be her.

What role could she play other than dragging him down and hurting him?

Tang Xiao's heart was desolate.

And he stared at her for a long time, but she still did not have any explanation, but only stared at him with an infinite sadness.

The anger in his heart gradually subsided, and a wave of despair came up like a tide.

Sure enough, are those true?

She didn't even want to explain, and her silence was tantamount to acquiescing to all this?

Perhaps he should have been colder, more like a man, and just leave, leaving her indifference behind completely.

However, he couldn't.

Like a man about to drown desperately struggling to reach out and try to grab something, he spoke with difficulty: "Tang Xiao, don't you have anything to say?"

Her tears rolled down silently, and the two looked at each other for a long time, and she choked up with tears and said, "Lie, the only person I love is you." ”

He looked at her amusedly: "Is this your killer weapon? Do you think that no matter what the circumstances, as long as I hear your words, I will have no doubt about everything, completely lose my self-esteem, lose my IQ, and believe in you with all my heart?"

"No...... I didn't lie to you. She looked at him stupidly, and she thought to herself, is he going to leave her? I don't know how many opportunities there are to look at him like this, and she is really afraid that he will leave her alone, and she will never see him again.

"You didn't lie to me?" he sneered, "You mean, everything Uncle Yan said before he died was a lie, right?"

"The deceased is gone...... All I can say is that things are not what you think......" Tang Xiao looked at him pleadingly, "Lie, please believe me, I really didn't-"

"What's the secret between you and Pei Yuansheng?" he interrupted her and asked coldly.

"Yes......" Tang Xiao shook her head, she knew how important the impact of this incident was on Pei Yuansheng, although Pei Yuansheng did not say it, but she could guess that the reason why he insisted on hiding his illness from the outside world for so many years, and not even revealing his mother, was not just because he didn't want to let the people around him worry about him.

If it is known that the president of the Pei Group is suffering from an incurable heart disease, how much turmoil will it bring? What will those with other intentions do to Pei Yuansheng?

She couldn't imagine.

Pei Yuansheng loves her, he is willing to sacrifice his life for her, she can't repay him in this life, but at least, she should keep her promise and not put him in danger.

She loves Cheng Lie, and she also believes that if Cheng Lie knew about it, it would never get out, but she couldn't go against her principles and forget what she had promised.

"I'm sorry, Lie...... I can't say. "Maybe one day you'll know," she said, "but — it's not up to me to say it." I'm sorry, Lie, I know you won't trust me anymore no matter what, but, I still hope you can believe that there is really no personal relationship between me and Pei Yuansheng, like Uncle Yan said - he loves me, but, Lie, you have to believe your brother, he never thought of ruining the marriage between us, he is a good person......"

"Enough. He stopped her from continuing, his dark eyes were as cold as ice, and his voice was surprisingly cold, "You're right, Tang Xiao, I won't trust you anymore anyway—I don't know how to convince myself to believe you." ”

Tang Xiao closed his eyes in despair and muttered, "I'm sorry...... I've let you down. ”

He didn't speak again, and the sound of familiar footsteps rang out, and she knew he was leaving.

Soon, with a "bang", the bedroom door was slammed shut, and the room fell silent again.

She sat like a grave, feeling all the strength drained from her body as he left.

She lay limply on the bed, hot tears streaming down her face, and her mind involuntarily remembered the situation before she went to bed last night—

He lay down beside her, held one of her hands, closed his eyes and said, "Good night, wife." ”

She also said goodnight to him, and just closed her eyes, the warm flap of her lips fell on her lips, and she heard his chuckle: "Let me kiss again." ”

"Hmm. She put her arms around his neck, kissed him with her eyes closed, his breath was all over her nose, he smelled so good, she liked him so much.

Kissing each other like this, they didn't want to part at all, and then he reluctantly left her lips, turned to her side, took one of her hands and put it in his palm, his dark eyes narrowed into a good-looking shape, his sexy and good-looking lips were gently raised, and his handsome face was full of love for her.

"Smile, go to sleep, I'll watch you sleep. He said softly.

"Wouldn't I look ugly when I slept?" she asked.

"Well," he nodded knowingly, preemptively as she was about to have a seizure, "the cutest clown bastard in the world." ”
