Chapter 257 She Likes Clean Men

Not only did Jiang Liyue not believe it, but even the comments section that listened to the whole thing didn't quite believe it either.

"No way, this sounds so unreliable to me."

[Haha, didn't everyone hear someone trying to smear the Duke? They're clearly afraid Yueyue will fall for someone else.]

Is it possible that falling in love with someone else requires prior romantic feelings?

[So can someone tell me, how did my wife Yueyue suddenly get involved with this guy who appeared out of nowhere?!]

[It must have been last night, it's all because the live stream camera wasn't focused on Yueyue.]

Don't you guys think that Herlo's smear campaign against the Duke looks like he's breaking down? It's like he's had his wife stolen before.

[However, doesn't the Duke already have a wife? And they seem to be very much in love. Why does Herloh think he'll try to steal Yueyue from her?]

Could it be that the Duke is actually a womanizer who falls in love with every woman he meets?

"Herlo, what are you worried about?" Jiang Liyue looked at the man who still couldn't hide his grievance after smearing the Duke, and said helplessly, "Isn't the Duke and his wife very much in love? He's not a scumbag, so why would he like me?"

It seems impossible that he would be entangled with someone else.

“They’re not in love at all!” Herlo retorted loudly, her jealousy intensifying as she muttered under her breath, “Where is the love? He clearly forced her…”

After muttering to himself, Herlo solemnly reminded Jiang Liyue, "Yueyue, they don't love each other. He doesn't deserve to be loved."

Jiang Liyue hadn't expected this answer. She looked at Herlo, who seemed a little agitated, with a puzzled expression: "But, wasn't it said that His Highness the Duke was very good to the Duchess? The Duchess sounds like a very nice person, and everyone likes her."

“Of course she’s great, it’s normal for everyone to like her.” Herlo said this while looking intently at Jiang Liyue.

Jiang Liyue narrowed her eyes, her tone suddenly turning dangerous: "So you also like the Duchess, and you're just jealous, that's why you're deliberately smearing the Duke?"

She looked unhappy; anyone whose boyfriend had liked someone else would probably be unhappy like that.

What's more, in all the multiple instances of her being with that scoundrel, no one else has ever interfered between them.

If he really dares to like someone else... what will Jiang Liyue do?

She hadn't thought about this before, but now that she does, she might feel a little sad.

After all this time, even if you've raised a dog, you should have developed feelings for it by now.

But she wasn't one to drag things out; if a man wasn't clean, she'd just replace him.

She doesn't want a man who isn't clean.

Previously, escaping the cheating man was just a playful act between the young couple. But if he really isn't clean, then her escape shows she's truly going all out.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liyue's face showed a hint of indifference.

She fundamentally doesn't believe in true love; it's only through the monstrous, obsessive, and passionate love of that scoundrel that she gradually finds herself moved.

So if...

For some reason, Herlo noticed Jiang Liyue's cold expression, and an endless panic rose in his heart.

It's as if she really will disappear, so he can never find her again, and he will never be able to have her love again.

Just thinking about this made Herlo feel endless pain, as if it were a thousand times more painful than the hundred years of waiting.

Overwhelmed by this fear, he suddenly hugged Jiang Liyue tightly, stammering, "Yueyue, I only love you, no one else, I only love you. Please don't leave me, I'll be very good, okay?"

Jiang Liyue remained in his arms, neither pushing him away nor speaking.

Herlo seemed even more frightened. He released her and looked into her eyes helplessly, like a child who didn't know what he had done wrong.

His eyes were red and brimming with tears, making him look pitiful: "Yueyue, don't leave me, okay?"

After a long while, Jiang Liyue sighed helplessly: "I never said I was going to leave you."

"But I hate unclean men. If you like me, you can only like me, understand?"

"I know, I know," Herlo nodded repeatedly.

"Good boy." Jiang Liyue raised her hand and patted his soft hair.

Herlo immediately bent over, burying his head in her collarbone. A moment later, Jiang Liyue felt a cool liquid dripping onto her collarbone.

It brings a moist feeling of love.

Jiang Liyue could sense his panic and the burning love in his eyes every time he looked at her.

So they didn't press the matter of the Duchess at this point.

She believed in Herlo's love, and that was enough.

As for the Duchess, she can look it up herself.

Herlo cried on Jiang Liyue's body for a long time.

Because she was so frightened by her terrifying expression, as if she might leave at any moment, Herlo hadn't had time to think about why she had suddenly gotten angry.

Once the panic in his heart subsided, he belatedly realized that Yueyue was angry because he might like the Duchess.

But the Duchess is clearly...

Herlo wanted to explain, but Jiang Liyue had already started bringing up the rose garden she had seen that morning, so Herlo had to put it aside for the time being.

I'll tell her when I have the chance.

Actually, he somewhat hoped that Yueyue would never remember.

That way, she might be able to be secretly hidden away by him forever, without being discovered by anyone.
