Chapter 297: Being Tricked into Reconciliation
Lin Yilan originally thought that after she finished telling Huo Juncheng all this, she would just leave Huo Juncheng's place as soon as possible depending on the situation. However, she didn't expect that Huo Juncheng had no intention of letting her go at all.
When Lin Yilan slowly approached the door of the study, Huo Juncheng seemed to have noticed it a long time ago and gave Lin Yilan a look. It was that look as if if Lin Yilan really left, Huo Juncheng would rush over and restrain her in the next second.
"What are you doing?"
"I...I've already told you everything I need to say. Now, of course, I have to go home."
"Go home? Go back to where? Isn't the Huo family your home?"
Faced with Huo Juncheng's three consecutive questions, Lin Yilan was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan's hesitant look, even though the two of them had not reconciled.
However, Huo Juncheng could tell from Lin Yilan's various behaviors that it was only a matter of time before their relationship eased, so he did not hold Lin Yilan accountable for this issue.
"Let's go."
"Walk?"
Lin Yilan couldn't believe her ears. Did Huo Juncheng mean that she could leave? If that was the case, why did he call her back just now?
Lin Yilan rolled her eyes silently in her heart and didn't intend to pay any more attention to Huo Juncheng. She directly opened the door of the study, but after taking a few steps, she was stopped by Huo Juncheng.
"Why are you walking so fast? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
"I... I don't care how fast I walk. I just want to leave quickly. Besides, why did you come out all of a sudden?"
"Of course I'm going with you to see that man you mentioned. Otherwise, why do you think I suddenly let you leave?"
After hearing what Huo Juncheng said, Lin Yilan finally understood what was going on. At the beginning, Lin Yilan was indeed wondering why Huo Juncheng suddenly changed his mind and let her go.
It turned out that Huo Juncheng didn't mean to let Lin Yilan leave, but wanted to go to Zhang's house with Lin Yilan to see the suspicious taxi driver.
"But it's already eight o'clock in the evening. Are you sure the Zhang family has time to receive us now? Huo Juncheng, I really have to go back to Chu Siran now. Why don't I go with you to see that man tomorrow?"
Even if Chu Siran didn't make it clear to Lin Yilan, Lin Yilan couldn't keep dragging it on like this. She felt that it would be better for her to go back early.
Huo Juncheng frowned after hearing Lin Yilan's words, looking unhappy. "Lin Yilan, I really don't understand why you have such a good relationship with Chu Siran now. Do you listen to her in everything? She told you to ignore me, so you ignored me. She told you to find Gao Xianyang to pretend to be her boyfriend, so you pretended to be her boyfriend. Why do you listen to her so much?"
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng and thought to herself that something was wrong. Shouldn't the current situation be that she hasn't forgiven Huo Juncheng yet and Huo Juncheng should apologize to her? Why did the situation suddenly reverse?
"I don't always listen to Si Ran. She's doing this for my own good, so I listen to her advice."
"She asked you to find a fake boyfriend to deceive me, was that for your own good? Aren't you afraid that I'll actually believe it, ban that model, and then come after you to hold her accountable?"
Hearing Huo Juncheng say this, Lin Yilan became like a mimosa that was touched, timid and not knowing what to say.
It took Lin Yilan a long time to raise her head. When she looked at Huo Juncheng, she found that Huo Juncheng was still looking at her straight. She lowered her head again in an instant.
"Um... so you knew all along that this was fake, and you never believed it from the beginning, right?"
After Lin Yilan finished speaking, she didn't hear Huo Juncheng's voice. She knew that Huo Juncheng had tacitly agreed, which made her even more embarrassed.
"Since you already knew all this was fake and I wasn't with Gao Xianyang at all, why do you keep asking me about my relationship with Gao Xianyang? Don't you already know what our relationship is?"
"Because I want you to tell me in person." After saying this, Huo Juncheng felt that something seemed wrong, and then added, "I just want to know when you have had enough of making trouble and can return to the Huo family."
"What if I never return to the Huo family? Are you planning to keep wasting time with me?"
"Aren't you already here?"
Well, why didn't Lin Yilan think of this? The purpose of her coming here today was to talk to Huo Juncheng about cooperating with Xu Ziwen. All of this must have been planned by Huo Juncheng himself. As expected, Huo Juncheng is really... a businessman!
"What would you do if I really found another man as my boyfriend?" Lin Yilan felt that she had completely defeated Huo Juncheng in what she had just done, and she felt dissatisfied, so she asked this question to Huo Juncheng.
Hearing Lin Yilan say this, Huo Juncheng frowned unhappily. Although there was no anger in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yilan, the words he said shocked Lin Yilan, "I might make that man disappear from this world."
Well, Lin Yilan hadn't thought about these questions anyway. She couldn't even figure out whether she liked Huo Juncheng or not, so how could she have the time to like other people?
"But weren't you also flirting with your ex-girlfriend when you were in Paris? What do you mean by that? Are the governors allowed to set fires but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"
"How many times do you want me to tell you that Jenny and I went to the same university? We weren't even in the same major or class. At best, we were just alumni."
"But it's also true that you were having an affair with her! What you're doing is like allowing the governor to set fires but not the people to light lamps. It's not fair at all!"
When Huo Juncheng heard Lin Yilan say this, he held his forehead helplessly. Well, it was his fault. If he hadn't been angry in Paris at the time and agreed to go to the restaurant with Jenny for dinner, so many unpleasant things wouldn't have happened.
"That's indeed my fault. I apologize to you, but there really is nothing between Jenny and me. Besides, don't you know why the story between you and Gao Xianyang hasn't been widely publicized?"
"Why?" Lin Yilan asked without even thinking. Only after asking did she realize the answer to this question: it was simply because Huo Juncheng had suppressed all the news reports.
She asked why Chu Xi's affairs could directly make the headlines of newspapers, but her Lin Yilan and Gao Xianyang's affairs were rarely seen in newspapers. It turned out that it was because of this relationship.
"So we're even now, right? Lin Yilan, it's true that I handled Jenny's matter inappropriately, but I didn't pursue the relationship between you and Gao Xianyang."
