Chapter 811 I Want Both
"Nan Chu, Sang Ruo framed me on purpose!" Xu Chen's eyes were filled with disappointment and disbelief when he heard her question: "How come even you don't believe me?"
He can tolerate others not believing him, but he cannot tolerate even his closest bedmate not believing him!
Anyone can misunderstand that he has fallen for Wen Qingyi, but she cannot!
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu's expression remained cold: "Based on what you've done, you think you can believe me? That's just wishful thinking!"
"You say your cousin-in-law framed you, where's the evidence? I believe her because I trust her character. What about you? Do you even have any character to speak of?"
He wanted her to trust him, and she had tried to trust him before. But what was the result? Every time she trusted him, without exception, she was met with disappointment!
So after he disappointed her time and time again, she had long since lost all faith in him and no longer trusted him.
"Lu Nanchu!" The veins on Xu Chen's forehead were bulging, indicating that he was truly angry: "You would rather believe a stranger than believe me? Who is your fiancé? Who will be the one you spend your life with in the future, her or me?!"
If even the person he shares his bed with doesn't believe him, then what's the point of him marrying her?
After so many years of friendship, how could it be no match for an outsider?
His constant use of the term "outsider" made Lu Nanchu's face darken to an extreme: "Have you said enough? We were just having a nice coffee here when you suddenly ran out and insisted on greeting us, and then my cousin-in-law revealed that you questioned Wen Qingyi on her behalf..."
"How can you blame us? Isn't it all your own inappropriate behavior that has led to so many misunderstandings? Instead of reflecting on your own actions and changing, you always push the blame onto others. Are you even a man? Where is your sense of responsibility as a man?"
Her words saddened Xu Chen: "So, in your eyes, I'm just an irresponsible and irresponsible man..."
He didn't know when his image in her mind had become like this.
The Lu Nanchu of the past always looked at him with eyes full of love, but now? He could see no love, but he could see the coldness clearly.
“If you want to talk to me, please go upstairs to a room, not to the coffee shop,” Lu Nanchu said coldly. “The coffee shop is where I talk to my cousin-in-law, not where I talk to you.”
Xu Chen gave her a deep look before reluctantly going upstairs.
Sang Ruo watched his dejected figure, a thoughtful look in her eyes: "This man is really interesting. He's flirting with Wen Qingyi on one hand, and pretending to be deeply in love with you on the other. Does he want both of them?"
If you want both, that would be too greedy.
"Two tigers cannot share one mountain." Is he trying to get both women to fight over him?
"Who knows?" Lu Nanchu didn't care about him at all right now. She quickly shifted her gaze from him to Sang Ruo: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, you must have seen this."
She chose the Bulgari café for peace and quiet, but who would have thought she would run into Xu Chen there?
And they parted on bad terms.
Sang Ruo smiled faintly: "It's alright. Since we've been caught and the agreement has been reached, I'll be leaving now. Xu Chen is still waiting for you upstairs. Also, don't keep the driver waiting downstairs for too long."
After leaving those words, she turned and left the Bulgari Hotel.
Lu Nanchu watched her departing figure until it completely disappeared from her sight before turning around and leaving the coffee shop. However, after taking the elevator, she did not go directly back to her room, but instead took the elevator to the hotel lobby.
"Hello, I am Lu Nanchu. I checked in here two months ago and I am here to pay the overdue room fee." As she spoke, Lu Nanchu handed over her passport.
The receptionist wore a formulaic smile: "Hello, Ms. Lu, your room fee has been settled by a Mr. Xu. You currently do not owe any fees and can continue your stay."
Mr. Xu?
Who is it? Xu Chen?
Lu Nanchu seemed a little surprised: "So, on what date can I extend my room fee to check-out?"
She was just discharged from the hospital today. Her father originally intended to take her back home, since she still needs to recover and staying in a hotel all the time isn't a good idea.
No matter how convenient a hotel is, it's never as comfortable as staying at home.
"Let me check for you." The hotel receptionist checked on the computer for her and quickly looked up from the screen: "Ms. Lu, it's for tomorrow."
Lu Nanchu frowned: "Then can I check out early?"
"Well... checking out early might mean losing one night's room fee."
"I see."
After Lu Nanchu finished speaking, she took back her passport, turned around and went up the elevator to her floor, swiped her card to enter her room.
However, because her room card was an old one, she couldn't swipe it in for a long time, and the door kept beeping.
Whether Xu Chen heard the noise at the door or not, the door to the Bulgari suite was suddenly opened from the inside, and Xu Chen immediately saw Lu Nanchu unable to swipe her room card.
He stepped forward, took out the new room card, and stuck it to the sensor on the door. With a beep, the door to her room, which had been locked for so long, suddenly opened.
"So, you paid my room fee?" Lu Nanchu stared blankly at the open door and asked, "Are you the Mr. Xu the receptionist mentioned?"
She had always suspected that he had paid her room fee, and seeing that he could open her room door while she couldn't, she became even more certain of it.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen suddenly moved closer, bringing his face close to hers: "Do you think there are many Mr. Xus in the entire capital who would pay your room bills?"
Perhaps it was because the two were standing too close, or perhaps it was because they hadn't been intimate for too long, but Lu Nanchu felt as if she had lost control of her breathing.
She had always thought she would never fall for him again, but when he got close to her, she could still feel her heart pounding uncontrollably, faster than ever before.
She wouldn't allow herself to waver again.
So she deliberately put on a cold face and said, "Xu Chen, I'm very grateful that you paid my room bill, but that was because I couldn't come to the hotel while I was in the hospital. I'll pay you back. But do you want us to go back to how things were before? Impossible."
How can a relationship that has already developed cracks ever return to the loving state it once was?
Even though she has forgiven him, the harm he caused her is still there and can never be eliminated.
He can forget about winning her back this way.
