Chapter 322

"What? Worried about me?"

He Le shook her head. With L's techniques and habits, unless caught in the act, the possibility of obtaining evidence afterward was basically zero. She wasn't worried that Muse would find L; what she was uneasy about was... "You, why did you hack Muse?" Was it because of her?

"Entrusted by someone," Li Yiquan replied.

Really? He Le didn't ask again.

After finishing lunch, He Le proposed returning to Lingyu's place. Li Yiquan didn't say anything; after taking her to buy a set of clothes, he drove to Ren Lingyu's house.

"L, about this morning..."

"Treat it as if it never happened?"

He Le lowered her head. "I, I really don't suit you."

"... You've already said this sentence, and I've already answered it."

Silence, a long silence. The singing in the car remained clear and pleasant, but it sounded so distant and strange. The her of the past, the her of the present...

"L, you once drafted an administrator contract for Muse's Deep Blue Apartment, remember?" Such labor contracts were usually drafted by the Human Resources Department; she believed he must have an impression of it since it was drafted by him alone and given the nature of the work.

Parking the car on the side of the road, Li Yiquan gripped He Le's clenched fist. "I know, you don't need to say anything."

"You, you know? You know I—"

"July 13th, you signed the contract, entered Deep Blue on the 14th, and left on October 16th."

Following his words, her whole body froze.

"Heh... so you knew all along. Then, hehe, I thought... haha, I just said so!" He knew everything! He knew it all! He knew how dirty she was, he knew she wasn't worthy of him at all, he actually... was it because he saw she was promiscuous that he wanted to be friends with benefits with her? And she had been overthinking, worrying, and acting self-important—"You should have said so earlier, you scared me, haha!"

Listening to her laughter, Li Yiquan pulled her tear-stained little face over and kissed her deeply. "If you keep overthinking, I'll take you right here."

"..."

"I know everything, but everything only makes me want to protect you, make it up to you, cherish you, and pour all I have into loving you more. No matter what you have experienced, not a single thing will become an obstacle to my loving you. The one I love is the Kaixin who has accompanied me for three years, the He Le right before my eyes! The only woman of Li Yiquan."

"L..." She didn't want to cry, didn't want to... In the past four months, she had already cried too, too many times, but, "L..."

One last time, allow her to cry one last time.

Holding the sobbing He Le, Li Yiquan stroked her long hair without stopping for a moment.

"I'm sorry," after her tears ran dry, He Le pushed Li Yiquan away, ordering herself to cast aside her shameless greed. "Thank you for loving me, but I already have someone I cannot leave, so... don't waste any more time on me."

"Is it that you cannot, or that you will not?"

"Whether it's cannot or will not, there's no difference in the result, is there?"

"If it's 'cannot', I will give you the reason to be able. If it's 'will not'... I will wait until you will."

"L!"

Li Yiquan restarted the car and drove into Ren Lingyu's residential compound, coldly glancing at the few figures at the entrance, and brought He Le back to Ren Lingyu's home.

"Excuse me, Uncle and Aunt, there might be a few uninvited guests coming over later, I'm very sorry to disturb you."

"Uh... is, is it Producer Shentu and, and Chairman Ji and the others?"

"Yes, it should be, and more than just them."

"Ah! Oh my! How could I have forgotten that today is Lingyu's cousin's birthday! I'm so sorry! This, we have to leave quickly, Lingyu, entertain the guests well! Lingyu's dad, let's go, let's go!"

Half an hour later, the Deep Blue owners, five missing one, arrived one after another.

Author's Note:

Wednesday's little reveal:

The age ranking of the six, this was actually mentioned in the main part of Orange Juice's post. From oldest to youngest, it's Mu Wei, Shentu, Seeing Ruan Lin, Ji Jie, Li Yiquan, Qin Zhixiu.

☆, (11 Fresh Coins) Chapter 268: Where to Go

When Seeing Shentu Mo entered the door, He Le subconsciously blocked Ren Lingyu. Seeing Shentu Mo glanced at the guarded and vigilant He Le, his gaze shifting to look at Li Yiquan, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, drinking tea.

"Please." Li Yiquan raised his hand to signal.

"L?" Seeing Shentu Mo frowned.

As soon as Seeing Shentu Mo said this, Ji Jie and Seeing Ruan Lin, who had arrived before him, had their expressions shift slightly, while Qin Zhixiu remained as usual.

He Le felt as if she were facing a great enemy, but before she could speak, Li Yiquan had already nodded and put down his teacup. ===== CHAPTER 323 =====
