Chapter 172: Lying



She didn't expect that the person she liked knew all her dark past, including being raped and the kidnapping of Chu Xinrou.

It was as if he had seen all of her ugly sides as if they were all captured by nine cameras.

What should he think of her?

She simply didn't dare to think about it. Every time she thought about it, she felt more heartbroken.

"Then why did you tell me suddenly?" She looked at him in surprise.

An Xinghe pursed his lips and said, "Because Chu Xinrou accidentally found out about this, she used it to threaten me, so I went to see her completely under her coercion. I didn't want you to know at first, but now she is trying to sow discord between you and me. Rather than letting you misunderstand our relationship, it's better for me to let you know."

I felt a little guilty in my heart. Wanying, I'm sorry, I didn't tell the whole truth.

Because I'm afraid that once I say that, there will be no possibility for us.

Intellectually, hating one person should not include hating other unrelated people. But emotionally, who can do that?

Even if she managed not to hate him, she probably wouldn't be able to accept being with him.

Lu Wanying believed his words without hesitation.

He met Chu Xinrou entirely because of his relationship, but did he know that it would be even more difficult for her to convince herself to continue to be with him after she knew these things?

Does he like her when she is so miserable?

Her heart gradually wavered, not to mention him and Chu Xinrou...

"Have you and Chu Xinrou known each other since childhood?" She held back the sob in her throat and asked in a clear voice.

"You remembered?" A hint of surprise flashed in An Xinghe's eyes.

Lu Wanying was slightly confused, then remembered something.

"Do you know her?" she asked stubbornly.

"She and I know each other, but I also know..."

Before An Xinghe even uttered the word "you," Lu Wanying felt a dull pain in her heart. She couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted him, "Two years ago, the Chu family villa was so remote. How could you have gone there and saved me? Was it because of... Chu Xinrou?"

It is said that a 7-year-old child does not have a strong memory. Even Chu Xinrou has grown up. How come he could remember and recognize Chu Xinrou?

There was also the incident of him appearing in the Chu family villa and rescuing Chu Xinrou from her hands.

This series of events made her think about the relationship between him and Chu Xinrou.

An Xinghe frowned. If he said yes, she would definitely be even angrier.

Noticing his hesitation, Lu Wanying's heart suddenly sank, and her expression became even colder. "Just tell me the truth. You know I hate it even more when others lie to me."

"That's right, but that's because..." An Xinghe couldn't explain himself.

Lu Wanying felt even more desperate. He hesitated even when giving a reason. Although it could not prove that he liked Chu Xinrou, his relationship with Chu Xinrou was not ordinary.

Even so, it created a barrier in her heart.

"You don't have to say anything, I understand everything. Now that you have finished speaking, can I leave?" Lu Wanying said in a low voice.

An Xinghe looked at her and frowned. Why did he feel that she was still very angry after he explained?

"You..." Before she could finish her words, Lu Wanying left.

His lips moved, wanting to call her to stop, but in the end he couldn't speak.

Maybe she just couldn't accept it for the time being.

He should give her some time and not push her too hard.

He turned back to the school gate and took the schoolbag from Lou Zhijing.

Seeing that he looked a little uneasy, Lou Zhijing asked with concern, "Where did you go in such a hurry? Why do you come back looking like a frost-bitten eggplant?"

"Thank you." An Xinghe turned a deaf ear to his question.

Lou Zhijing kept on talking, "Xinghe, you're going too far. I carried your schoolbag for you and cared about your feelings, but you ignored me. I've never seen you like this before. You seemed to be coming from the direction of No. 2 Middle School. Aren't you in a hurry to find Wanying? Did you break up?"

After Lou Zhijing finished speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth as if frightened.

An Xinghe glanced at him darkly, a little gloomy, and warned, "We haven't broken up yet, don't talk nonsense."

"So you two had a fight?" Lou Zhijing leaned closer and looked at him curiously.

"Isn't it normal for couples to quarrel?" An Xinghe said impatiently, and gave him a glare.

This also confirmed Lou Zhijing's guess.

He laughed unkindly, "Xinghe, this is the first time I've seen you so dejected. Quarrels aren't scary. What's scary is that you don't understand a girl's mind. You should coax her when you need to, but if a girl has something hidden in her heart, and you don't help her resolve it, once the situation continues to develop, breaking up won't be far away."

Hearing this, An Xinghe fell into deep thought. Wasn't she angry because of Chu Xinrou?

Didn't he explain it all?

Then what else could be the reason for her attitude?

An Xinghe was puzzled.

On the other side, Lu Wanying returned in a distraught and absent-minded manner.

"Girl, we have arrived at the terminal. It's time to get off."

After being reminded, she finally reacted and looked out the window blankly.

"Master, I didn't hear the Sanhe Road station." She asked in confusion.

The driver was stunned for a moment and said helplessly, "Girl, of course you didn't hear it. That's the other direction. You got on the wrong bus."

Lu Wanying smiled awkwardly, "Thank you, Master."

She quickly got out of the car, her face full of embarrassment.

The car arrived quickly and she got in quickly.

Soon, she received a call from her father.

"Wanying, why haven't you come back yet?"

"Dad, you eat first. I took the wrong bus and may not be back until eight o'clock." Lu Wanying rubbed her hair helplessly.

"All right."

Lu Wanying hung up the phone. She never thought that one day she would get on the wrong bus out of confusion.

It’s all An Xinghe’s fault.

But when she thought of him, she felt uncomfortable all over and her eyes were wet with tears.

Is she really the one he likes?

When the car stopped outside her house, she got out, sniffed quickly, and wiped her eyes to cover up the traces of her crying.

"Dad, I'm back."

"You must be hungry. I'll make you a bowl of noodles." Father Lu was about to get up from the sofa.

Lu Wanying wanted to compete to do it, but was stopped.

While cooking noodles, Lu Rong said, "Xinghe will come to give you extra lessons tomorrow. It's a good opportunity for me to cook for you myself. Just consider it as a thank you for taking care of me."

Lu Wanying was stunned for a moment. Lu Rong didn't hear her answer and was a little surprised. "Wanying?"

"Dad, I... don't plan to make up for the lessons for the time being." Lu Wanying said hesitantly.

Lu Rong ran out and looked at her in surprise, "Why? Is it because of... money?"

"Wanying, don't worry. Dad will do whatever he can to give you this little bit of money. Don't worry."
