CHAPTER 728

For the biggest part, Chen’an did not want to look at Ye Cheng but who could evade this man when he was like this.

Resigning herself to fate, she did. At his words, she heaved out a deep breath and lifted her head slowly until she was face to face with him.

“That’s better. Wasn’t so hard now, was it?”

His eyes glinted with great mischief, waiting for her response yet again but she remained mute and a dangerous smile crossed his lips.

“I do not recall the part of you being deaf, Chen’an.”

.....

Ye Cheng made to turn and then he stopped mid-way and faced her swiftly. “Answer me!”

Her heart flew into her mouth at a speed she could not even fathom and she shook visibly before him. His eyes raged the more he gazed at her.

He was mad. No angry.

Ye Cheng was one who hated to be played and after a series of times he was being used, he was not having it again.

“Ye Cheng! Stop it!” Ren yelled from where he was being tied.

That singular noise had pulled her mind back and given her hope. “Ren.” Her breathing hitched a beat and she looked at her side.

She did not mind Ye Cheng and raced up to him, falling on her knees before him. “Ren. Are you okay?”

He snickered just looking at them. To think he was empathic towards her for being caught in the fire.

Sadly, he never knew she was indeed caught in the fire the whole time.

“My...” His word stung the back of his throat and he behaved. His eyes turned cold instantly and he lifted his head as though all of what happened just a few seconds ago didn’t.

“What did you bring her here?” He asked Ye Cheng bluntly.

“What do you think?” Ye Cheng inquired, placing a hand in his pocket.

“To tease out the answers out of me? Hahaha, you are wasting your time.”

A dark glint flashed in his eyes, showing all signs of his no-nonsense self but Ye Cheng was not phased.

Chen’an however, was shocked to see Ren behave that way.

“Ren?” Her soft voice called out questioningly but she got no answer whatsoever.

“I have no feelings nor any attachment for this lady here. She was nothing but someone whom I used to get by in hopes of distracting you all till I healed and made my leave.”

Her eyes widened at his confession but she did not want to believe it. “No. You are kidding, right?”

He turned his head in her direction and with a wry smile he asked, “Do I look like I am joking?”

Her eyes moved back in their socket in disbelief. No. This was the very same man she spent nights with.

The one with whom they confessed their love for each other and made love like it was a unifying ambience to their being.

A sharp pain pierced at her heart and she closed her eyes briefly, hoping it would go away. Hoping it was all a joke and when she looked back at him, he would smile and say he was kidding.

“Don’t waste your breath, Chen’an. I never loved you.”

*Dang – Glass Shatters*

The sound of the glass shattering in her mind and whatever illusion all had come to be only made her dazed in shock.

Without bothering about her pain, Ren peeled his gaze from her and let them lock on Ye Cheng.

“Now why don’t you get straight to the point and get her out of my sight.”

“Sight?” A glint of mischief flashed in ye Cheng’s eyes before he closed the gap between them and stood close to Chen’an.

“Ren, you seem to have misunderstood me or taken me for me a fool. Do you think that this small stunt of yours you pulled is going to prevent me from using her to get the information out of you?”

Chen’an who remained kneeling on the floor fell on her butt and clutched at her chest so hard.

She wanted to believe ye Cheng but never had she seen so much dread in Ren’s eyes as she did now and it hurt her badly.

“No need, sir. He is not joking. Turns out I was the one who was foolish thinking someone like him would fall in love with a girl like me.”

She kept her head lowered. All Ye Cheng could think about was why it was easy for someone as guarded as Ren to fall in love with her. She was so innocent.

“Hmm. So you think.”

He averted his complete attention to Ren. “I would ask you this simple question, Ren. What do you want with my wife and me? Why have you been stalking her?”

“I have nothing to say to you. All I can say is that you have the wrong guy.”

“I would be the judge of that whether or not you are the wrong guy or not,” Ye Cheng corrected.

“Whatever you say, just get her out of my sight.” He looked at her with utmost disgust and irritation that ye Cheng felt sorry for her.

However, he long saw beyond what he wished to do. It would have made more sense had he never begun playing the act of her lover and given himself away.

“Look here, Ren. Listen to what I tell you. I am not one of those villains in movies that care so much about your love life. So you do not have to look bad and make her hate you just to put on a fa?ade for me and hurt the woman you love.”

Ren averted his gaze from either of them. He knew Ye Cheng was right but what could he do? If only she could feel his heartbeat, it raced inwardly.

He was scared. So, scared at the thought of her getting hurt or tortured just to milk out answers from him.

Left to him, he could stand it all but the question now was, could she?

“I know no matter what, I would never do that to Li Jing. So forget about your stunt and not make her cry.”

True enough, the young Chenny wiped off the streak of tears from her eyes and raised her eyes, hoping to see the last strand of hope in his eyes.

“I would not torture her, you have my word.”

“Then why did you have her come here after I came willingly?”

“Because she lied to me and I need an explanation.”

She lowered her head once more. She was too afraid to meet Ren’s gaze should in case he got the wrong idea that she was playing him for a fool.

“I wish to know why the morning after the attack on you, you claimed to not know him but here you are, in love with him and living with him?”

Ren’s eyes widened when he understood what was going on.

“Che...” he swallowed hard and with wide eyes confronted Ye Cheng. “Believe me, let her out of this. she knows nothing.”

No longer did his eyes hold such hate as before. Immediately they mirrored the look Ye Cheng wished to see.

The eyes of a man in love.
