In the darkness, Ye Qingyue's eyes paused, and he was silent for a few seconds before saying calmly, "Nothing."
Ye Qingyue's denial did not make Cao Cheng feel very happy.
His eyelashes drooped, his fingers unconsciously tugged at the quilt, and he said sullenly with a hint of grievance: "But I don't think you like me."
A sigh came from the side, and then Cao Cheng heard a "yes".
Ye Qingyue admitted it bluntly, but Cao Cheng's eyes were bitter. The man added: "I don't like it, but I don't hate it either."
Cao Cheng was silent for a long time, then choked up a little before saying, "I heard that you like someone named Shen Ci."
Cao Cheng hesitated for a long time, but finally asked.
Even though Ye Ying strictly forbade the people in the mansion to spread the news about Ye Qingyue and Shen Ci, some of it still got out and happened to be heard by Cao Cheng.
Originally, Cao Cheng just thought it was a joke and forgot about it after hearing it, but the person next to her, her newlywed wife, was cold and distant, and that sense of distance made Cao Cheng think more about it.
"Yes." Ye Qingyue admitted.
Tears fell from Cao Cheng's eyes, and he wanted to ask, since you don't like me and like someone else, why did you marry me.
But before he could say anything, Cao Cheng held back.
He actually knew that Ye Qingyue didn't like him, just like Ye Qingyue said, she didn't hate him either. Although he felt very sorry, it didn't matter. Cao Cheng told himself that there were many couples in the world who loved each other before marriage, and many couples only met on their wedding night.
He told himself that as long as he behaved well after marriage, as long as he loved Ye Qingyue enough, Ye Qingyue would like him one day.
However, Ye Qingyue now has someone in his heart. How can he snatch her away from someone who already has a lover?
Cao Cheng felt wronged and didn't know what to do.
His self-esteem since childhood told him that he should question Ye Qingyue harshly, or even beat and scold him, but he was afraid that Ye Qingyue would hate him because he liked her.
"Let me tell you about what happened between me and Shen Ci." Ye Qingyue took the initiative to speak.
Cao Cheng bit his lip and said nothing.
Ye Qingyue's voice was as clear and bright as her name, flowing like gurgling snow water.
She calmly recounted their story, including her recent resistance and how Ye Ying had forced her to sign the marriage certificate.
Her tone was light, without much ups and downs.
The more Cao Cheng listened, the more sad he felt. He felt like a masochist. Why should he listen to his wife talking about her love story with someone else on what should have been a beautiful wedding night?
But he couldn't help but envy the person who was liked by Ye Qingyue.
He had never met Shen Ci, but he felt that since Ye Qingyue liked him, he must be a very good person.
Ye Qingyue told Cao Cheng everything without hiding anything.
"I'm telling you this because we're married. We're husband and wife."
Cao Cheng was stunned for a moment. Under the quilt, his hand was pulled and then wrapped by another soft hand. It was Ye Qingyue's hand.
"From the moment we got married, you are my husband, and this will never change. I can also promise you that in this life, I will not take a concubine, and you will be my only love. Husband and wife have been together for decades, and trust is the most important thing. This matter cannot be kept secret for a lifetime. One day you will find out, and I don't want you to hear it from others and become suspicious."
