Billionaire's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 2145 - 286: The Scam

He just liked her, but had mistakenly taken that familial affection as love.

Lu Yinxing refused him decisively.

Actually, Wen Quan had expected this rejection.

It wasn’t the first time he had confessed his feelings.

Confessing today, he hadn’t expected Lu Yinxing to agree.

He just wanted to show his determination in front of both families’ parents.

Wen Quan didn’t appear to be upset.

Wen Quan smiled and said, "Even though you refuse me, I won’t give up. I believe that, one day, you’ll willingly wear the ring I give you."

After speaking, Wen Quan stood up and put the ring away.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he placed it back in his pocket and sat back down to continue eating hot pot.

Mu Liancheng gave Wen Quan an encouraging look and said, "You, lad, have truly learned from me. You should know that it took me six full years to win your mother over. By then, you were already six years old. Don’t worry, no matter what, Dad will always support you mentally."

The father and son exchanged a knowing smile.

The atmosphere at the table became lively again.

From start to finish, Xia Ye didn’t say a word.

Neither did Gu Tiantian, whose head remained lowered, seemingly a bit sorrowful.

The dinner came to an end.

After playing at Wen Quan’s house for a while, they returned home.

After all, they all lived in the same community.

So they walked back.

When Gu Tiantian got back home, she saw Xiao Bai lying in the yard.

She then walked over to Xiao Bai and petted its fur.

Xiao Bai had lived with the family for over ten years.

It had long been able to sense each family member’s emotions.

Xiao Bai licked Gu Tiantian’s little hand.

Lu Yinxing also sensed that Gu Tiantian’s mood was off today but couldn’t pinpoint it at that moment.

Lu Yinxing and Xia Ye went upstairs first.

Just as Xia Ye was about to enter his room.

Gu Tiantian suddenly called out to Xia Ye, "Brother, wait a minute."

Xia Ye turned around, his voice icy cold, "What is it?"

Lu Yinxing was taken aback by the coldness in his voice.

Lu Yinxing said, "Brother, you said that as long as I got into A University, you would take me to meet Night, right?"

Although the results weren’t out yet and it was a promise between them.

Although ever since childhood, Xia Ye had never broken a promise.

But Lu Yinxing couldn’t help wanting to confirm it.

She would soon be able to meet Night.

This was the thing she looked forward to most in her current life.

Xia Ye paused for a moment, then coldly said, "Maybe not."

When Lu Yinxing heard those four words, it felt like a bolt from the blue.

What does "maybe not" mean?

Clearly, it was agreed upon before.

But before Lu Yinxing could react.

Xia Ye had already opened his room door and walked in.

Lu Yinxing stood outside stunned for a moment, and then chased after him.

Lu Yinxing caught up to Xia Ye.

Lu Yinxing asked, "Brother, what do you mean by ’maybe not’?"

Xia Ye replied coldly, "Maybe not means not. I don’t know Night, so I naturally can’t arrange a meeting."

It was like another bucket of cold water was poured over her head.

It took Lu Yinxing a while to respond, "How could you not know Night? It was you who gave me Night’s WeChat."

Xia Ye continued, "That wasn’t Night. It was fake. I tricked you into studying well."
