Chapter 101 Returning a Favor
Zhou Yan's breathing deepened a bit. He looked at Lin Xu through the cloth and confessed, "Are you referring to meeting your ex-girlfriend?"
Lin Xu didn't expect him to confess so readily that he didn't even have to use the torture he had prepared.
"Yes—, you dare to admit it! What are you planning to do by meeting my ex-girlfriend behind my back?"
Lin Xu cleared his throat and, relying on the fact that Zhou Yan couldn't see him, became bolder.
He did this mainly because he was afraid of looking into Zhou Yan's eyes.
Zhou Yan's aura was so strong, and he took such good care of him that Lin Xu always had a kind of admiration for Zhou Yan that he dared not blaspheme.
He felt that if he couldn't see Zhou Yan's eyes when he was questioning him, he might be able to be more assertive.
Now it has indeed achieved the effect.
Moreover, seeing Zhou Yan being at the mercy of others, Lin Xu felt a little bit...
He seemed to have accidentally created some strange scene...
Lin Xu quickly slapped his face and said, "Wake up, now is not the time to be infatuated."
Zhou Yan moved his arms, a little helpless: "Just ask whatever you want to ask, why tie me up?"
Lin Xu snorted: "I've asked you several times, have you ever told the truth?"
"Oh, then if I still don't want to tell you, how are you going to torture me to get a confession?"
Zhou Yan's words stunned Lin Xu, because he didn't have any specific plan.
Finally, he got so angry that he threatened: "If you don't tell me, I will tie you up and lock you up at home alone. I will see how you eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom!"
Zhou Yan was amused by him. Who would go to so much trouble to come up with such a punishment that had no lethality at all?
Might as well——
Zhou Yan rolled his Adam's apple, analyzed the pros and cons, and decided to solve the problem first.
"I'm sorry, I met my ex-girlfriend without telling you, but it was just work. I swear, nothing else."
"I know you haven't done anything, but I want to ask you, do you still have her in your heart? Even a little bit of nostalgia, do you still have her?" Lin Xu asked, looking at Zhou Yan's face seriously.
If Zhou Yan couldn't see him, Lin Xu would never have the courage to ask such a pretentious question.
Zhou Yan felt distressed when he asked this and wanted to reach out and hug him, but his hands could not move.
He sat up with the force of his waist and leaned against the headboard.
"Xuxu, let me be honest with you. I'm not a very ambitious man. You see, I seem to be doing very well now, but this is largely because Wen Jinyu forced me to do it. She played a very important role in my success today. I don't owe her anything emotionally, but I did make her spend a lot of effort in my career. So I help her just to repay this favor."
Zhou Yan told Lin Xu his true thoughts.
Lin Xu had never thought of this before. He thought Zhou Yan would help his ex-girlfriend because he still had some attachment to the previous relationship.
"Xu Xu, you should be able to sense that you are the only one in my heart right now. You are the only one I think about and think about every day. Otherwise, you wouldn't just tie me up here and interrogate me. You should have thrown me away like a scumbag, right?"
"You're not a scumbag. I know you have me in your heart. I'm just angry that you broke your promise. You clearly said last time that you wouldn't hide anything from me anymore." Lin Xu said in a low voice with grievance.
Zhou Yan sighed: "I was wrong. I was narrow-minded. I couldn't stand hearing you and your ex-boyfriend being involved, so I thought you couldn't stand it either."
"I don't want to hear about your previous relationship, but if you tell me honestly, how could I possibly be jealous? The bottom line is, you just don't trust me."
"This isn't a question of trust. I told you you'd agree to let me go, but don't you feel wronged? I don't want you to have to make this choice. If it were me, I'd be furious. It's better to wait until you find out and then have a big fight with me. At least you can vent your grievances."
Perhaps because he couldn't see the other person, Zhou Yan was more likely to reveal his inner thoughts.
"Xuxu, help me untie it, I want to hug you." Zhou Yan coaxed softly.
Lin Xu hesitated for a moment and moved back: "How can I forgive you so easily?"
"Then tell me, how can you forgive me?" Zhou Yan asked seriously.
"I'm going to ask you questions now, and you must answer them truthfully. If you continue to hide or lie, I'll make sure you... you'll never get up again!"
Zhou Yan burst out laughing: "Xu Xu, are you punishing me or yourself?"
Lin Xu blushed, cleared his throat and continued the interrogation.
"I haven't finished explaining it yet. Tell me, will you see her again in the future?"
Zhou Yan shook his head decisively: "I promise I won't take the initiative to see her. If you have to see her for work, I can take you with me, okay?"
The adult world is not black and white. It is possible that Zhou Yan and Wen Jinyu may have some overlap in their work. Lin Xu knows that it is impossible to reject all cooperation out of emotion. Anyway, as long as Zhou Yan does not take the initiative to see her, it will be fine.
"Who wants to go with you..." Lin Xu got the assurance and continued to ask, "Do you think I'm narrow-minded and unreasonable now?"
Having promised Lin Xu to answer truthfully, Zhou Yan really told Lin Xu everything he knew this time.
"Yes, you are narrow-minded, but I like you to death. I am happy in my heart when you are jealous of me and worried about me, but I also feel distressed. It is my fault that you feel insecure."
Lin Xu's ears felt hot after hearing this, and his anger was almost gone.
He just wanted an attitude and a guarantee from Zhou Yan.
"You won't retaliate against me, will you?" Lin Xu only now remembered the consequences.
Zhou Yan curled the corner of his mouth. Silly boy, isn’t it too late to ask this question now?
"Baby, untie it for me. I want to hug you, and my wrist hurts a little, it seems to be rubbed."
Lin Xu immediately became anxious and hurried to look behind Zhou Yan. Sure enough, there were two red marks on his wrist.
"I didn't tie it that tight. Who told you to move? Stop moving. I'll untie you."
Lin Xu untied the rope with heartache.
But almost instantly, Zhou Yan jumped up from the bed, took off the blindfold and subdued Lin Xu, and followed Lin Xu's method to tie Lin Xu's hands behind his back.
In just a few seconds, before Lin Xu could react, he had already switched positions with Zhou Yan.
"Zhou Yan!" Lin Xu was horrified. "You lied to me again!"
Zhou Yan reached out and rubbed his head and said, "I didn't lie to you. Look, your wrist is really scratched."
"Then why did you tie me up?"
Zhou Yan smiled, picked up the eye mask that had fallen on the bed, and slowly put it on him, saying, "You've finished interrogating me, but I haven't interrogated you yet."
Lin Xu was so angry that he kicked him: "Why should I be interrogated?!"
Zhou Yan held down his thrashing legs: "Xu Xu, tell me, how did you know?"
Lin Xu was silent for a few seconds, weighing the sincerity of Zhou Yan's confession, and finally told the truth: "The project I attended the opening ceremony this day was a collaboration with Roland Decoration."
"No wonder. But how did you know that Mr. Wen was related to me?"
Lin Xu bit his lip and brought up the meeting that had bothered him.
"I drove your car to the interview that day, and she saw your car."
Zhou Yan checked the timeline in his mind and quickly figured out all the anomalies during this period.
After Lin Xu went to Dongcheng, he suddenly felt depressed for a few days and began to care crazily about his appearance.
It turned out that they had met at that time.
Zhou Yan stroked Lin Xu's cheek and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that your unhappiness was due to this."
