Chapter 1741: Chapter 1742: Pierced by Ten Thousand Arrows
Lin Tong gritted her teeth, not wanting to waste words with Lou Xinyu: "I want to take my daughter and leave."
"Just arrived and you want to leave? That’s unreasonable."
Lou Xinyu shook his head and said, "Have some snacks with me. After we eat, I won’t keep you."
Lin Tong frowned, "I’m not in the habit of eating snacks."
Lou Xinyu squinted slightly, "I said, after we eat, I won’t keep you."
Lin Tong: "..."
This man is truly domineering!
And Lou Xinyu, not allowing Lin Tong to refuse any further, gestured with his hand: "Serve Miss Lin and her daughter some snacks."
"Yes!"
The middle-aged man who had been kneeling finally stood up.
Soon, a serving of Western-style snacks was placed in front of Lin Tong.
Lin Tong looked at the exquisite snacks, feeling no appetite and unwilling to start eating.
Lou Xinyu said, "Since I’ve asked, I won’t allow you to dismiss my request, even if it’s just a bite, that counts as an explanation to me."
Lin Tong gritted her teeth; she just wanted to quickly take Xiao Cloud and leave this place filled with endless terror!
She gave in.
She had no choice but to give in!
If Xiao Cloud weren’t here, she would stand her ground till the end—even if it meant death—but unfortunately, Xiao Cloud was by her side.
As a mother, she must ensure Xiao Cloud’s safety!
"Hoo—" Lin Tong exhaled deeply, picked up the utensils, took a bite of the snack, and then put them down immediately: "Is that okay?"
"It’s okay now."
Lou Xinyu nodded with satisfaction: "Today we got to know each other, and in my heart, you are already my woman... you may leave now."
Lin Tong felt relieved, just about to take Xiao Cloud and leave.
Yet, before she could rise!
Out of the corner of her sharp eye, she suddenly noticed a man standing not far outside the window, a figure she found incredibly familiar.
Lin Tong turned her head, her expression changing dramatically.
Ye Xuan!!
Why is he here?
Danger!!
And Lou Xinyu also noticed Ye Xuan’s presence immediately, turning his gaze toward him.
The gazes of the two men clashed fiercely.
Lou Xinyu’s eyes were deep, with cold glints seeping through them, mixed with some curiosity.
"Strange..."
Lou Xinyu murmured to himself.
He knew that the man who had just appeared should be Ye Xuan.
But he was surprised, as the seemingly insignificant Ye Xuan appeared in front of him with an unreadable aura!
Lou Xinyu could affirm that even in the entire Martial Arts world, not even the high and mighty Zhao Xunjian could make him feel this way!
"Interesting."
Lou Xinyu smiled evilly, then shifted his gaze directly, smiling at Lin Tong: "It seems because of my presence, your husband is misunderstanding you. Do you need me to step in and explain a few things?"
"Misunderstanding?"
Lin Tong raised her brows slightly, her heart pounding.
Looking carefully, Lin Tong indeed found that Ye Xuan’s face was completely clouded, his expression twisted, like a frenzied beast!
In an instant!
It felt as though the air of the entire world froze at that moment.
Inside the café, Lin Tong, holding Xiao Cloud, blankly stared at the man standing resolutely outside the window, her face turning ashen.
She was no longer worried about Ye Xuan, because she could feel that Lou Xinyu actually had no hostility towards him.
At least for now.
Regarding today’s events, Lin Tong didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty, because she hadn’t done anything to betray Ye Xuan.
But she couldn’t help feeling an extremely strong sense of foreboding.
She knew something bad was going to happen...
And Ye Xuan!
He didn’t know what Lin Tong and Xiao Cloud were doing with that extremely handsome man in the café before he arrived; he only knew that Lin Tong had deceived him.
She had said she was going to the company to handle an urgent matter.
But in reality, she was with their daughter, eating snacks and chatting in this café!
Why did she lie to him?
Everything Zhang Xiaoyue saw was probably true, right?
Ye Xuan closed his eyes in pain, seemingly a tear glistening at the corner of his eye.
They say men don’t cry easily, but that’s only because they haven’t been hurt deep enough!
At this moment, Ye Xuan’s heart felt like it was being cut with a knife.
It was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart!!
"Why? Why?!"
Ye Xuan screamed in agony inside, on the brink of collapse.
He had never been anything but generous to Lin Tong, willing to go through hell and high water for her, without hesitation, although he had let her down in some romantic aspects. Still, Ye Xuan could stand tall and say that he felt no guilt!
No matter the time, he always placed Lin Tong first!
Her every frown and smile directly tugged at all his nerves!
He could give everything for her and provide whatever she wanted; if he couldn’t, Ye Xuan would go mad trying to secure it for her.
In her presence, he was as humble as an ant.
Simply because, due to the presence of Liu Ying and others, he felt guilty towards Lin Tong and wanted to make it up to her as best as he could...
But in the end, why did Lin Tong still act this way?
"Kill!!"
In a fit of rage, Ye Xuan’s killing intent surged.
He abruptly opened his eyes, which had turned slightly red, the gaze in them as fierce and brutal as a primordial wild beast, suffocating everyone around!
Ye Xuan wanted to kill that handsome man in the café.
Just as the thought arose, he voluntarily abandoned it.
Why kill him?
It takes two to tango; was it really his fault?
He might not even know that Lin Tong was a married woman, right?
Ye Xuan let out a bitter laugh and was about to turn and leave.
Just act... like he never came!
"Husband!"
But before he could take a few steps, Lin Tong’s anxious call came from behind.
Ye Xuan paused, turning to look at Lin Tong running out of the café holding Xiao Cloud, his lips curled into a mocking smile.
"What else do you have to say?" Ye Xuan laughed: "Since when did your Eastern Group become a café like this?"
Lin Tong: "..."
She knew Ye Xuan had misunderstood.
She wanted to explain.
But seeing Ye Xuan’s unfamiliar and cold gaze, Lin Tong, though her heart was full of words, didn’t know how to start speaking.
She stared blankly at Ye Xuan, not even daring to take another step closer!
This was an instinctive fear, completely beyond Lin Tong’s control!
And looking at Lin Tong’s pale, pitiful face, Ye Xuan felt no pity, instead finding it peculiarly amusing.
"You truly are a genius woman. Even when it comes to revenge, you play it so beautifully and vividly."
Ye Xuan let out a bitter smile: "Don’t worry, I won’t kill you or that man. I know between you and me, it hasn’t been fair to you. Indeed, today’s event with Qiuge and Xiao Ying was quite extreme."
"So I don’t blame you. Paths that differ can’t walk together! At this point, there’s nothing more to say. Let’s just end it and assume... assume it all never happened."
