Chapter 439: Chapter 408: Exposing Leng Ye’s Plot
"Do you think Nuannuan will believe you, or will believe Xiao Liu?" Leng Ye’s body shook slightly, a sneer formed at the corner of his mouth, and he glanced back at the bodyguard. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, he dragged Xiao Liu aside and covered her mouth with his hand to prevent her from speaking. Leng Ye looked at Wen Nuan and gently said, "Nuannuan, why don’t you tell him why you didn’t answer the phone, just to avoid any misunderstandings."
"Actually, we don’t need to explain anything to him." Wen Nuan slowly squatted down, took Leng Ye’s hand, and said warmly, "Since you want him to know, then I’ll tell him."
She straightened up, tears flowing in her heart, and a mocking smile appeared on her petal-like lips:
"Of course I knew you called. I was the one who told Joe not to answer it. I said that if it was your call, always say I’m not here. Good people get bullied, good horses get ridden. In the past, I gave in to you because I loved you, because I was your wife. But now, Leng Yan, you should be clear about your identity! If a brother-in-law always calls the sister-in-law, people might mistakenly think there’s an intimate relationship. I don’t like this."
Leng Yan’s fingers clenched tightly, then relaxed, repeating the motion. He quietly watched the stubborn smile at the corner of her mouth, his heart aching fiercely.
Her words were heartless, yet he couldn’t refute them.
For a moment, he stood there, feeling like his heart was bleeding, not knowing how to stop the pain.
"You were the one who wanted to break up, and we broke up. Now you use true love to win me back; love isn’t something you can sell whenever you want..."
The ironic song came from Xiao Liu’s phone ringtone, spreading sarcasm through the sacred chapel.
Wen Nuan looked towards Xiao Liu, whose mouth was covered by a man. Her mouth curled slightly, she gave Leng Yan a glance, then turned her head with a bitter smile.
Back then, he wanted to split up, and now he’s chasing her back. What does he take her for? What does he take love for?
"Joe."
Wen Nuan softly called, looking up at Leng Ye, who was filled with anticipation in his eyes. She extended her finger to him and smiled gently: "Put the ring on for me. From now on, I will be Leng Ye’s wife, I swear I will only be your woman forever and will never betray you."
From now on, I will be Leng Ye’s wife. Leng Yan, if you want, call me sister-in-law. If you don’t, then just pretend you don’t know me.
"Okay." Leng Ye nodded, his lips trembling with excitement.
He could see Wen Nuan’s determination. Once the ring was on her hand, Leng Yan would no longer have a chance.
Her fair fingers, like a work of art he never tires of admiring. He really wanted to hold them in his hand, kiss them tenderly, and then help her put the ring on. But now, there’s no time. Tenderness welled up in his eyes, one hand picking up the ring, the other tightly holding Wen Nuan’s hand.
"Nuannuan, you can’t!"
Leng Yan roared in anger, extending his arm to snatch the ring from Leng Ye’s hand. He swung his arm, and the ring was thrown far away. His fingers gripped Wen Nuan’s shoulder with force, his eyes slightly red, causing Wen Nuan to tremble suddenly.
In his eyes, she saw the sparkling, long nails dug into her palm.
Would he cry? Would he feel heartache too?
Ha, she sneered: Even if it hurts, how could it compare to her pain?
Some say it’s only after losing something that you realize its beauty. Now that he knows she’ll never belong to him forever, does his love for her suddenly resurface?
The past joy, how can it compare to the deep scar of betrayal...
Wen Nuan looked at him, her heart hardening, "Go back, don’t interfere with me. Be a good father, a good husband. Even if you suddenly remember my good now, it’s already too late."
"That’s not my child! That night, nothing happened between her and me."
Leng Yan urgently cleared up his relationship with Ji Wei. He strode forward, forcefully pushed away the bodyguard covering Xiao Liu’s mouth, brought Xiao Liu over, and grasped her shoulder even tighter: "Nuannuan, let Xiao Liu tell you what really happened."
"I don’t believe her!"
Wen Nuan shook her head, tears welling up: "Leng Yan, she’s Ji Wei’s assistant after all, do you think I would believe what she says?"
"Miss Wen," Xiao Liu began hesitantly, "I’m no longer Ji Wei’s assistant now. Please believe me, I assure you everything I say is true."
Wen Nuan trembled slightly, her thick lashes fluttering gently as she looked at Leng Yan. There was a tinge of red in her eyes,
"Leng Yan, why bother? Even if I believe, what does it change? When you chose her and gave up on me, your love for me had already changed. I didn’t leave you without chances, but you didn’t choose me..."
"Leng Yan, if you still care about blood ties, about the reputation of the Leng Family, let her go and leave here immediately!"
Leng Ye gritted his teeth, his heart trembling with fear that Xiao Liu would reveal something against him, fearing that once Wen Nuan knew the truth, she would leave him.
"Blood ties?"
Leng Yan gave Leng Ye a sideways glance, his laugh sharp and full of mockery: "Dear brother, if I had cared about blood ties, how could Nuannuan and I have separated? Don’t tell me that night under Tong Xi’s building, with Ji Wei, had nothing to do with you! Furthermore, dear brother, as your younger brother, I must remind you, I’m here today not only to take Nuannuan away but also to discuss with you about the previous crisis of the Leng Group."
Wen Nuan was shocked, looking incredulously at Leng Ye.
Leng Yan had once told her that a man had driven him and Ji Wei to Tong Xi’s building, and he had never found out who that man was.
Could it be Leng Ye?
Her nails dug into her flesh, her mind in turmoil. Looking at Leng Ye, and then at Leng Yan, she suddenly felt like she didn’t know either of them.
"You!" Leng Ye’s face changed dramatically, pointing at Leng Yan, the word "you" revealing inexplicable fear and anger, his arm fell limb at his side.
Leng Yan snorted coldly, glancing at the guests: "Brother, do you think there are things they need to know?"
Seeing Dr. Mike, he deliberately emphasized: "I heard the success rate for Brother’s upcoming surgery is very high, isn’t it?"
Leng Ye’s face turned even darker.
Dr. Mike’s face became awkward.
Wen Nuan was more shocked; she looked at Leng Ye and found him looking back at her. His usually calm pupils now replaced by panic.
Wen Nuan’s heart grew cold, a silent bitter smile spreading within her.
So, she had been deceived by another man once again.
"Please everyone leave." Leng Ye waved, softly instructing his capable assistant from the United States, but his gaze remained on Wen Nuan’s face. His fingers gripped the wheelchair, murmuring softly: "Nuannuan, I didn’t mean to..."
"Didn’t mean to deceive me?"
Wen Nuan’s tears of bitterness and humiliation slowly flowed from her eyes. She shook her head gently, looking sadly at Leng Ye and Leng Yan, her voice broken with pain: "What do you two take me for?"
