1447 I’m Willing to Swear On My Mental Demons
“I didn’t!”
Liang Yingjun denied anxiously, “Xin’er, I really didn’t. I admit that I’ve been hesitating for the past three days. However, as soon as I thought it through, I immediately rushed to the place we agreed on. I didn’t tell anyone, nor did I ask anyone to send a message for me.”
At this point, Liang Yingjun finally had the courage to confess. “Xin’er, I have thought it through. Whether you’re from the Cheng family or not, I want to be with you. And the person I really like is not Cheng Su’er, but you. I said that when you grow up, I’ll marry you and be with you for the rest of your life.”
Liang Yingjun held Cheng Xin’er’s hand tentatively, his gaze sincere and affectionate.
“Xin’er, are you still… willing to be with me and marry me now?”
Cheng Xin’er, who had been waiting for more than ten years, finally heard these words. Her eyes instantly turned red, and she nodded repeatedly. “I’m willing. I’ve always been willing.”
Recalling the bitter wait over the years, Cheng Xin’er couldn’t help but lean into Liang Yingjun’s arms and cry.
Looking at the two of them hugging, the City Lord’s wife seemed to have thought of something. She looked a little dazed, but she quickly came back to her senses.
By the time Liang Yingjun comforted Cheng Xin’er, it was already fifteen minutes later.
Lu Zijia, who felt that she had been forcefully stuffed with dog food, pretended to cough dryly. After attracting their attention, she said, “Second Miss Cheng, did you notice what time you left?”
Cheng Xin’er thought for a moment and said, “When I left, it was probably a quarter past eight in the morning.”
“When I arrived, it was probably a quarter to nine.” Before Lu Zijia could ask, Liang Yingjun told her his time.
“Boss Lu, are you suspecting that someone deliberately sent my daughter away?” The City Lord’s wife, who was sitting at the head of the table, asked.
Lu Zijia nodded slightly. “Everything is too coincidental. What do you think, Ma’am?”
The City Lord’s wife’s expression changed slightly. “Boss Lu, I can swear on my mental demons that the matter of the men in black has nothing to do with us.”
At first, the City Lord’s wife suspected that it was Cheng Su’er’s scheme. After all, she knew that Cheng Su’er wanted to win Liang Yingjun back a month ago.
However, on second thought, she felt that Cheng Su’er was taking too much risk. Once there was any accident, she would also be implicated.
Therefore, the City Lord’s wife couldn’t tell if Cheng Su’er was involved in this.
“That’s right. I can also swear on my mental demons that I really didn’t scheme against Ah Jun. Moreover, I have no reason to scheme against Ah Jun at all,” Cheng Xin’er said anxiously.
She liked Liang Yingjun, so how could she plot against him and Cheng Su’er? She wasn’t crazy!
Liang Yingjun held Cheng Xin’er’s hand tightly and said to Lu Zijia, “Senior Lu, I trust Xin’er.”
Lu Zijia was speechless. They hadn’t even officially gotten together, but he was already siding with an outsider. He really… valued his lover over his friends!
However, there was indeed no reason for Cheng Xin’er to do that. On the other hand, the City Lord’s wife might be trying to matchmake Liang Yingjun and Cheng Su’er in order to make her daughter give up.
However, in the current situation, the suspicion of the City Lord’s wife could be temporarily eliminated.
“Who else knows about the agreement you made?” Lu Zijia asked Liang Yingjun and Cheng Xin’er.
Cheng Xin’er’s expression froze. “My personal maid. I sent her away before I spoke to Ah Jun, but I don’t know when she returned. At that time, I thought that she happened to come back when I left, but now…”
