Lin Shanchu approached him with slow steps. "Is that why you thought I'm the only one who's capable of lying? "

Lu Shiyuan's expression was hesitant.

When she was young, she would cry when she did something wrong due to her timid nature.

In the past few years, whenever she confronted him, she would be reduced to tears as well.

He had always felt that the reason behind those tears was her fear and guilt of doing something wrong.

However, whenever he asked her to apologize to Tang Qidai, she became very stubborn and refused to do so.

After a few times, Lu Shiyuan started to get tired of her.

As a result, he was even more biased toward Tang Qidai.

Hence, no matter what happened, he would choose to believe in Tang Qidai and not Lin Shanchu.

He had never doubted his own choice, but he felt guilty for no reason as he stared into Lin Shanchu's clear, cold eyes.

Was he really in the wrong the whole time?

The sudden ringing of his phone interrupted his thoughts.

He took a look at his phone and answered the call hurriedly.

He even accidentally tapped on the speaker.

"Qidai, what's wrong?"

His tone was gentle yet nervous.

Tang Qidai was so understanding. Something urgent must have happened for her to suddenly call him.

Lin Shanchu heard Tang Qidai's sobbing voice from the phone.

"Brother Shiyuan, can you come over...?"

Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Shanchu hesitantly before replying, "Alright..."

After hanging up the phone, he looked up at Lin Shanchu.

She had a disdainful smile on her face, and her eyes were cold.

He had never seen Lin Shanchu with such an expression.

There was a trace of ruthlessness in that distant expression of hers.

Another thought popped into his mind. They had grown up together, so he knew Lin Shanchu's personality the best.

She loved him so much that it was impossible for her to have a change of heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have returned.

Lu Shiyuan suppressed the uneasiness and guilt in his heart. "I'm going out for a while. We'll talk about this later."

"Have a safe trip," Lin Shanchu said with a smile.

She looked as gentle as before.

Lu Shiyuan became more and more relaxed. His tone gradually softened. "Wait for my return."

Lin Shanchu was still smiling.

Lu Shiyuan started to feel that there was something wrong with that smile. However, he was still thinking about Tang Qidai, so he didn't dwell on it.

Lin Shanchu stood in front of the window as usual and watched Lu Shiyuan drive away.

Just now, she had given Lu Shiyuan one last chance.

She had grown up with Lu Shiyuan, after all. He did treat her well when she was young.

She thought that perhaps the plot forced Lu Shiyuan to always listen to Tang Qidai.
