Chapter 405: Chapter 405 I Believe in You_1
But she didn’t mind, she only cared about Gu Yan’s perception.
Unable to resist, she raised her head, looking at Gu Yan. Seeing his emotionless, ice-cold profile, her heart tightened.
She soon left the banquet.
"Gu Yan, slow down, my foot hurts." Ye Lu’s ankle was aching. Gu Yan was walking too fast; her foot had just been twisted and was even more painful when she moved.
However, he didn’t pay any attention to her; he dragged her out of the villa. The car was waiting outside, and the driver, upon seeing his boss’s face, nervously opened the door for them.
"Get in!" Gu Yan pushed her into the car.
Sitting in the car, Ye Lu looked pale. Her foot hurt, and her heart hurt more.
Slick behind the wheel, Gu Yan slammed on the gas; the sports car immediately raced forward. It was obvious he was very angry; his knuckles turned white clutching the steering wheel.
Throughout the ride, the car was dead silent, with a thick, oppressive atmosphere.
"Gu Yan, stop the car. I feel sick, I want to vomit." The insane speed made Ye Lu feel nauseous, she wanted to throw up.
Gu Yan slammed on the brakes, stopping by the side of the road. Ye Lu felt dizzy. After a while, she finally caught her breath.
Looking at his angry face, she couldn’t help but feel both flustered and wronged.
"I understand why you’re angry. Seeing me in such a state in front of everyone, it’s only natural you feel angry."
The earlier scene was humiliating. She understood that any man would lose it if he saw his woman being intimate with another man.
"But, I can explain. Gu Yan, you have to listen to my explanation," Ye Lu pleaded, gripping his hand tightly.
Gu Yan turned his head to look at her, his gaze colder than she’d ever seen before.
Her heart fluttered in fear.
"You want to say that you haven’t done anything? That you didn’t betray me?"
Ye Lu stared at him, confounded. What did he mean?
"Yes, I didn’t do anything. I have nothing to hide."
"Then I believe you; you don’t need to explain anything."
Ye Lu was taken aback, looking at him, puzzled. Did he really believe her? She wanted his unreserved trust, but there was an intuition inside her that he doubted her. She felt a coldness in her heart.
Then they drove back home in silence, a silence that was oppressively heavy.
Once they reached home, he ushered her upstairs, opening the bathroom door with an icy face. "Clean yourself."
Standing there clutching her bathrobe, Ye Lu stiffened under his cold gaze. She gritted her teeth and entered the bathroom.
Standing in front of the mirror, she saw the shocking red love bites all over her body. There were too many of them, too shocking. Her lip had even been bitten through, making her feel both angry and helpless.
No wonder Gu Yan was so angry. Even if nothing untoward had happened, seeing his woman marked by another man was bound to make him uneasy.
She scrubbed herself carefully. The bites on her body, made lighter by the hot water, didn’t entirely fade because of the fierce manner in which Third Young Master Jun had kissed her.
"Third Young Master Jun, you bastard!" She gritted her teeth, wishing she could kill that shameless man.
He humiliated her and cast doubt in Gu Yan’s mind.
After washing up and seeing Gu Yan still in her room, she felt a little awkward.
"Gu Yan, I’m tired, I want to go to sleep now." She felt tired. The fright and unrest of the evening had worn her out.
Moreover, she had felt mentally drained recently, and had been finding herself easily tired.
