Chapter 553 Can I Trust You?
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Lu Yichen shook his head gently, "There's nothing to hide. If you really want to kill me, then my life is yours."
As he spoke, he reached out, took Zhong Nianyao's hand, and put it on his chest. His tone was low but firm, "Everything I have is yours. As long as you want it, I am willing to give my life to you."
His tone was very calm, as if he was just saying a few simple words, but the determination in his expression was unquestionable.
With just one word from Zhong Nian Yao, he would really give up his own life.
Looking at Lu Yichen, Zhong Nianyao felt a little sour in her nose. Her mood was complicated. There was sweetness, but also a hint of bitterness that she couldn't explain, and confusion.
She couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently touched Lu Yichen's face. She didn't know whether she was asking Lu Yichen or herself, "Can I trust you?"
Lu Yichen did not answer, but just looked at Zhong Nianyao quietly. In the depths of his deep eyes, there was only the reflection of one person, as if the other person was his whole world.
Just when Zhong Nian Yao thought that the other party would not answer and was about to withdraw her hand, Lu Yichen directly grabbed Zhong Nian Yao's outstretched hand and put it against his face again.
"Yao'er, even if I betray the whole world, I won't betray you. If I really betray you, you don't need to do anything. I will kill myself."
Just a few simple words, not a vow, but just a simple statement of a fact, but it makes people believe him involuntarily.
Zhong Nianyao's gaze fell on Lu Yichen steadily. After a long moment, she slowly spoke, "Lu Yichen, I believe you."
She was willing to believe Lu Yichen's sincerity, and she was also willing to believe that her sincerity would not be misplaced. No matter what the memories that suddenly appeared in her mind just now were, she believed that she would never fall into such a situation.
If Lu Yichen really betrayed her one day, she would never hesitate and would definitely take Lu Yichen's life with her own hands.
Hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words, Lu Yichen rarely showed a smile on his face, and there was an indescribable satisfaction in that smile.
It was as if Zhong Nian Yao’s trust was a precious treasure to him.
At this moment, there was a violent knock on the door, and then Mr. Zhong's voice sounded, "Yichen, Yaoyao, are you in there?"
The sudden movement brought Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao back to their senses. They took a look at the situation in the lounge and couldn't help but feel helpless.
Because Zhong Mengxuan had just caused a scene, and then they had that scene, although the entire lounge wasn't in a mess, it was obvious at a glance that a conflict had occurred.
Zhong Nianyao looked at Lu Yichen again, then looked at herself, and couldn't help but reveal a helpless bitter smile.
Now, both she and Lu Yichen looked extremely embarrassed. If they went out now, it would definitely cause a commotion. By then, let alone the engagement party, the elders of both families might have already jumped up.
"Yichen, Yaoyao, are you guys here?"
Mr. Zhong's voice outside was a little more anxious, "Did something happen to you?"
"Grandpa, we're fine." Zhong Nianyao quickly responded loudly, "We encountered some emergencies here, but we'll be fine soon. You can go back first!"
Finally hearing Zhong Nianyao's voice, Mr. Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, but then he asked, "What happened? Open the door first."
Zhong Nianyao glanced at Lu Yichen's still pale face, then at the bloodstains on her dress. Her eyes rolled, and she finally spoke decisively, "Grandpa, there's something wrong with my dress, and it's not very convenient to open the door right now. Lu Yichen just came over and said he would go find a dress for me, but he hasn't come back yet. Can you help me look for it first?"
Upon hearing what Zhong Nian Yao said, Mr. Zhong became a little anxious and quickly took people to find Lu Yichen.
After making sure that everyone outside had temporarily left, Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows and teased with a smile, "Am I not here?"
Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Still talking nonsense here? Hurry up and clean up this lounge first! I don't know how long you can keep Grandpa away. If he comes back and sees the mess in this lounge, he'll be terrified."
Lu Yichen also knew what to prioritize and immediately contacted someone to clean up the mess.
As for the dresses, there are several sets in the lounge, so there is no need to send someone to get them.
Lu Yichen attached great importance to this engagement party and had already thought of all possible scenarios. Therefore, in the lounge, there were several custom-made dresses, just in case something happened, and there were also backup dresses to choose from.
"What on earth just happened?"
After Zhong Nianyao changed into her new dress, Lu Yichen asked, "I think your condition seems a little strange!"
He didn't care at all about the fact that Zhong Nianyao had just hurt him. Just as he said, even if Zhong Nianyao wanted to kill him, he would never resist. Maybe he would even hand over the knife himself!
What he is worried about now is Zhong Nianyao's situation, afraid that something may have happened to her.
"Something did happen," Zhong Nianyao's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, "but it's hard to explain these things right away. The most important thing now is the engagement party. I'll tell you after it's over."
"Besides, it's time to settle some accounts."
After getting Zhong Nianyao's answer, Lu Yichen did not continue to ask further questions.
After a while, Mr. Zhong hurried back with a hint of anxiety on his face.
However, when he opened the door to the lounge and saw Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao sitting inside, he was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief. However, he was a little confused, "Yichen, why are you here? Why didn't I see you just now?"
"Oh, maybe we staggered."
Lu Yichen said calmly without blushing or beating his heart, "I was just in a hurry to find a dress for Yao'er, and didn't pay attention to other things."
"That's good." Mr. Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's hurry back to the banquet hall!"
