Chapter 106 Depth of Field, Please Forgive Me
Xia Mingyue's lips were almost trembling: "Depth of Field, are you doubting me?"
Li Jingshen's eyes were sinister, his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. After a long while, his Adam's apple rolled: "Xia Mingyue, you know I like people who are well-behaved and obedient, and I hate deception."
He pinched Xia Mingyue's chin with such force that it seemed as if he could crush the bone. Xia Mingyue was forced to look up, her face as pale as paper. She didn't know whether it was from fear or pain. She tried her best to remain calm, but under Li Jingshen's sharp gaze, she still felt guilty and her eyes flickered.
Li Jingshen saw Xia Mingyue's expression clearly, gritted his teeth and sneered.
This laugh frightened Xia Mingyue so much that her scalp went numb. She even forgot to pretend to be pitiful, and her legs were shaking violently.
Li Jingshen has begun to suspect her, and it may not be long before he finds out that she deliberately fell down the stairs to frame Shen Zhichu.
Xia Mingyue didn't know how to dispel Li Jingshen's suspicion of her. The more she talked, the more mistakes she made. Li Jingshen hated being deceived the most. Xia Mingyue's face was drained of blood and her heart was beating as if it was going to jump out of her chest.
"Mingyue, am I not good enough to you?"
Xia Mingyue cried and shook her head.
In the past, he would feel distressed whenever Xia Mingyue cried, but now he just felt disgusted when he saw her. People are like this. Once they are deceived by someone they trust, many things that happened in the past will be dug up. Some ignored things will make people more and more heartbroken the more they think about them, like weeds spreading wildly.
As if his hand had touched something dirty, Li Jingshen suddenly pushed Xia Mingyue away.
Xia Mingyue had just had her blood drawn today and was weak. In addition, Li Jingshen had no strength left, so she was pushed backward and fell onto the bed. Her waist hit the edge of the bed hard, and her face wrinkled in pain.
Xia Mingyue covered the painful area and her breathing became disordered. She didn't expect Li Jingshen to attack her. Before this, he had coaxed her gently and said that he would marry her in a year, and also said that he would let her raise Shen Zhichu's child.
"Mingyue, I can indulge your willfulness, but you should never use my hand to hurt Shen Zhichu." Thinking of Shen Zhichu's collapse and crying on the bed, Li Jingshen felt a pain in his heart.
Xia Mingyue's throat choked, her face felt cold, and her body slid off the bed.
Seeing Li Jingshen was about to leave, Xia Mingyue knelt down and grabbed his calf: "Jingshen, don't leave me... I was wrong, I shouldn't have wronged Chen Zhichu, I really just loved you too much, I was afraid that you would leave me, afraid that you would go back on your word and not marry me, Jingshen, I was really wrong, I will never do it again... I really..." By the end, she was already sobbing and only had panicked sobs left.
Her slender hands tightly grasped Li Jingshen's trouser legs. She raised her head, her eyes blurred with tears and red, and what she held in her hands seemed to be a life-saving straw.
“Depth of Field, we’ve been through so many years, and I saved you before… Do you really want to be so cruel to me?”
She framed Shen Zhichu because she lacked a sense of security, and the source of this insecurity was Li Jingshen. If he had not broken his promise, repeatedly perfunctorily treated her, and refused to divorce Shen Zhichu, how could she have taken action against Shen Zhichu?
To put it bluntly, she did all this for him!
Li Jingshen lowered his eyes and looked at the bluish-white fingers that were grabbing his calf, his eyes dazed for a moment.
Xia Mingyue's words brought back too many memories for him. Xia Mingyue was undoubtedly the person he liked. Thinking back to six years ago when he fell into the water and almost died, it was Xia Mingyue who risked her life to save him.
He would not abandon Xia Mingyue for the companionship of his childhood sweetheart and the grace of saving his life, but he really didn't want to face her now.
It feels like the clear spring in my heart has been polluted by silt, and the feeling is somewhat disgusting.
Li Jingshen squatted down and looked down at her: "Move out, go back to where you lived before."
Xia Mingyue's heart tightened, and she looked at him with red eyes: "What about you?"
"Shen Zhichu and I haven't divorced yet, so that's our joint property." Li Jingshen met Xia Mingyue's incredulous gaze. He reached out and wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Mingyue, I will fulfill everything I promised you, marry you, and even place Shen Zhichu's child in your name."
Li Jingshen had been in power for a long time and had seen all kinds of people. When he saw a hint of luck flash in Xia Mingyue's eyes.
He stood up straight: "But only if you behave yourself."
