Wooing my Bodyguard Wife-Chapter 262 Uncovering Lies

Doubtful murmurs from the crowd grew. An antsy feeling grew in Wei Yan's gut, but he kept a calm face. For now, it was just his word against Sun Jingwei's.

"She didn't, it's true," Chun Fei said, her voice a surprise to everyone present. "I remember you hating it whenever the girls in your class crowded you in public."

"You were watching me?" Xue Ning asked, confused.

Chun Fei's face glowed a ruddy and red and she stared back at the floor.

"So why would he bring Miss Chun Fei to Xue Ning's house, if not for the sheer purpose of creating a scene? If Chun Fei wanted to talk with me, he could have just arranged a gathering at a cafe with me and her alone, where Miss Chun Fei would have the chance to doll up. Which woman propositions a man dressed like this?" 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

The crowd took a careful look at Chun Fei's attire. She was dressed in a shirt that was slightly stained with dirt, along with khaki coloured sweatpants. She didn't even have a bit of makeup on!

"I was spying on you…" Chun Fei admitted, humiliated tears forming in her eyes. "I wasn't prepared to see you today at all! I wasn't going to confess anything today! But this man caught me and told me it would be fine if I were to confess, because Mr Sun wasn't attached. He said… he said I should have more confidence, that he would like me eventually."

There was a pause as everyone digested her words. Xue Ning began to feel the slightest tendril of pity for poor Chun Fei, who trusted Wei Yan's words.

"I'm so sorry!" Chun Fei cried out, bowing low to Xue Ning. "I would have never made a move if I knew you were his lover! You stopped my bullies from insulting me in school, but I never repaid you for that. I would never have stolen your lover I swear!"

"Oh. Then it's okay," Xue Ning patted her shoulder, her earlier rage vanishing in the blink of an eye. Chun Fei was a victim of manipulation. All her anger would be saved for Wei Yan. "Don't cry. I'm not mad at you."

"But I'm mad at myself! Everyone called me stupid, and they were right!" Chun Fei wailed, fat tears rolling down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry! And I think you're the coolest and most amazing girl! Thank you so much for helping me back then!"

"Oi, are you trying to steal my wife from me?" Jingwei asked snappishly. He was now wary when people became fans of Xue Ning - just look at all the trouble Wei Yan caused! Hopefully this Chun Fei wasn't going to steal her from him!

"No no… I would never," Chun Fei choked out, blowing her nose. "I'm just so sorry…"

"It's fine, you're forgiven." Xue Ning hastily reassured her, patting her back while she sobbed apologies. She didn't expect this kind of support! It would have been nice if Chun Fei had approached her earlier - she could do with a friend back in school.

"See everyone? You've heard from Chun Fei that this man lied to her," Jingwei pointed out smugly. "If anyone searched online, they'd know that I was already engaged, even if they didn't know who the woman was."

Wei Yan spluttered, sensing angry eyes turning in his direction. "Your engagement is fake!"

"Our relationship isn't! You just wished it was," Jingwei retorted, before turning back to the crowd. "This man heartlessly gave false hopes to this young woman, knowing that her heart would be crushed at the end, just to get what he wanted!"

"How could you!" Chun Fei burst out with a sob, wrenching herself out of Xue Ning's hold to storm towards Wei Yan, blinking back hot tears of rage.

"I trusted you! When you said you were dating Xue Ning, I thought you couldn't be a bad man if she was willing to give you a chance, but you turned out to be a lying asshole! You don't deserve her!"

She raised her hand to slap him, only for Wei Yan to grab a hold of it easily. Xue Ning wanted to interfere, but Wei Yan had Chun Fei blocking him as a makeshift shield.

"Let me go! You bastard!" Chun Fei cried out. She didn't know any martial arts or self-defence, and she didn't have enough strength to pull away from the increasingly painful grip Wei Yan applied on her wrist.

"I refuse to be lectured by a hostess!" Wei Yan's usual friendly face was twisted into an ugly snarl. "You're right about one thing though - you really are completely stupid!

All his plans were failing and it was all due to this idiot here! If she had played along, she would have gotten into Sun Jingwei's bed - Wei Yan would deliver her on a platter if he had to!

But no, instead she had to open her stupid big mouth and ruin everything!

He scoffed derisively at her.

"Just think, even if Sun Jingwei was single, what makes you think he'd be interested in a hostess from a small town? Shanghai is full of girls more good-looking than you, doing the exact same thing! Have some sense!"

He then flung Chun Fei's hand away from him as though it contained a contagious disease, wiping his hand on his shirt. Chun Fei startled, the force of his hand was strong enough to send her stumbling back.

Thankfully, Xue Ning grabbed her before her body hit the floor.

"Are you alright?" Xue Ning pulled her up.

"I'm fine! I'm fine!" Chun Fei hastily assured Xue Ning, staring at her with stars in her eyes. "Sorry for all the trouble! I caused you and your real boyfriend."

"It's not your fault," Xue Ning said, shaking her head, shooting Wei Yan a betrayed look.

"Here I was thinking you were a decent man, but it turns out you were an entitled manchild!" Xue Ning spat out. "To think I trusted you!"ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
