Chapter 146 – A Battle Of Wits Against Yin Yun (3)

When the banquet ended, Lan Jinyao took the initiative to go outside. She stood at the hotel’s doorway and waited for Fu Bainian. Tonight, no matter if he were going home or not, she’d keep him.

Seeing Lan Jinyao leave, Jiang Cheng instantly followed her out. After she’d waited for a while, Jiang Cheng went to stand next to her and whispered, “I brought you here; do you need me to be a gentleman and send you back?”

“No need!” Lan Jinyao immediately declined his offer. “Bainian is coming out soon, so I’ll just wait for him to go home together.”

Jiang Cheng sneered with a sarcastic smile and said, “Go home together? As far as I know, President Fu hasn’t been living at home for a long time already. I bet that you guys haven’t even shared a bed for quite a while, right?”

Lan Jinyao was speechless when Jiang Cheng asked this. He was telling the truth, so upon hearing this, Lan Jinyao’s hands instantly clenched into fists.

After a long moment of silence, Lan Jinyao suddenly asked, “You seem to be very clear about Fu Bainian’s matters? You even know when he comes home and when he doesn’t!”

Lan Jinyao felt as if she’d touched the source of his scheme.

The moment this question was asked, Jiang Cheng’s face suddenly darkened, and Lan Jinyao keenly noticed this. She then neared him a little and inquired further. “You’re secretly investigating Fu Bainian, and know about his each and every move, right?”

“So, what if that’s true?”

Jiang Cheng was seen through by Lan Jinyao, so he simply admitted to it. However, Lan Jinyao, on the other, froze when he did so.

“Why are you doing that?” It was very unbelievable for someone as straightforward and upright as him to resort to these kinds of despicable means.

Jiang Cheng had seemingly read her mind as he mockingly said, “I’ve never said that I was a straightforward and upright person. Additionally, I’ve also never said that I wouldn’t resort to despicable and shameless means. You were the one who thought of me like that.”

“As to why I’m doing all of that, I thought you knew already.” Jiang Cheng paused for a second before lowering his voice and whispering in her ear, “I want you. You belong to me, not to Fu Bainian.”

This time, he no longer addressed Fu Bainian as ‘President Fu’, but directly addressed him by his name. His voice was brimming with possessiveness, which frightened Lan Jinyao.

Then, Lan Jinyao quickly pushed him away and said, “I’ve never belonged to you! Jiang Cheng, if possible, I’d rather not have you in my life.”

Jiang Cheng’s expression instantly sunk upon hearing this one sentence. “I’ll leave first!”

He seemingly hated to hear her say those kinds of hurtful words. He briskly turned around and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the distance as he bolted away.

Lan Jinyao slightly frowned as she stared at his disappearing figure.

“Why…did you show up with Jiang Cheng today?”

Fu Bainian was somewhat hesitant when he asked this. He focused on the road ahead, but his hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel, and this movement exposed his inner tension.

When Lan Jinyao heard this, she smiled all the more brightly and asked back, “Do you care about that a lot?”

The answer she got was, without doubt, silence.

Lan Jinyao deliberately waited for a while before answering, “That’s because Jiang Cheng had said that he was going to take me to catch a couple in the act. As a result, I went there and saw you with Yin Yun.”

She suddenly lowered her voice, and pretended to be fierce as she ferociously stated, “Fu Bainian, let me tell you, I absolutely won’t divorce you!”

Lan Jinyao stared into Fu Bainian’s eyes and repeated, “I absolutely refuse!”
