One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire’s Sweet Love

The man did not seem to hear her question. Raising the apple in his hand, he asked with a raised brow, “You want an apple, right? Aren’t you eating?”

The woman thought that he was deliberately avoiding the topic and tried to make him talk with much reluctance. “Gao Nan, don’t change the topic, okay? I’m asking you seriously; there’s no need to cover it up, is there?”

He looked at her sans any expression or movement, then suddenly he put the apple and the fruit knife on the table.

He hooked his lips into a smile, took a wet wipe to clean his fingers elegantly, and asked with a deadpan expression, “Do I have to report my whereabouts to you last night? Am I a prisoner of yours to report my location to you anytime, anywhere?”

Xiao Xue’s face stiffened for a moment. “That’s not what I mean.”

“Then, what do you mean?”

The expression on the man’s face turned frosty. “You came squatting at my doorstep, looking like a lost soul, and telling me that you’ve got something to speak with me. I thought it’s something important, but it turned out that you wanted me to report to you my whereabouts, instead. You can be so funny.”

She looked at him with mixed emotions. She panicked and wanted to explain but did not know where to start.

He doesn’t seem guilty at all. 

Don’t tell me that my bestie lied to me?

That’s impossible.

She knew her best friend well. The latter would not cheat or lie to her.

His answer seems evasive; is he perhaps pretending to be calm by muddling through this matter?

Just as her thoughts were running wild, she heard the man asking, “Did Yun Shishi tell you something?”

She was startled and jerked her head up to look at him. “What…”

“Weren’t you with her this afternoon?” He then added, “Could it be that she said something nasty to you, and that’s why you came here questioning me about where I went last night?”

Xiao Xue was confused for a while.

“What did she say to you?”

“She—”

“There’s nothing to hide. You wanted to talk to me about this matter, right?” As he spoke, he walked to the bar counter, took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, casually popped it open, and poured himself a glass. He then leaned against the bar counter and lazily took a sip as he continued. “Let me guess… Did she tell you that I was with another woman last night and that I had cheated on you, betraying your trust?”

The woman was stunned, and her face went pale instantly.

After a long period of silence, she nodded her head and hummed in acknowledgement. “Yes… She said that to me!” Immediately, with much uneasiness and nervousness, she looked up at him and asked seriously, “Gao Nan, did what she say true?”

He cocked his brow, shrugged his shoulders, and admitted it readily. “What she said isn’t false.”

“…”

He was so quick to admit it!

Xiao Xue was in disbelief. This man before her was so straightforward in his answer and did not even bother finding a simple cover-up or excuse!

“You—”

“Don’t you want this answer? I’m giving you as you wish.”

“That’s not true!” She broke down and yelled, her eyes turning red all of a sudden. “I don’t want to hear such an answer!”

Deny it! Quickly deny it!

In some way, she would rather he lie to her or try to cover it up nervously, so that…

This would at least prove that he cared about her feelings!
