Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Are You Doubting Me?
Su Guo’an was about to say something more, but a servant suddenly came in and announced, “Mr. Su, Young Master Ning is here.”
“Yichen is here? Lianxi, stop crying for now. Have a good talk with Yichen!” Hearing the name of his future son-in-law, Su Guo’an’s face looked much better.
Su Lianxi felt somewhat uneasy. Although she firmly believed Ning Yichen would trust her, she knew he was aware of the incident from yesterday where she lost the role of the female lead.
Thus, Ning Yichen knew she had more than enough motive to do such a thing.
She had called Yichen earlier, and his voice had seemed a bit off. Su Lianxi didn’t know if he had begun to suspect her.
Because of this, she couldn’t afford to let her guard down.
With this in mind, Su Lianxi immediately stood up to welcome him.
Ning Yichen had injured his leg and shouldn’t have been moving around so soon, but the matter was too pressing, so he had come to the Su Family with the help of his assistant.
The assistant, Xiaofang, supported him as he struggled to walk in.
Seeing this scene, Su Lianxi’s face showed a mix of distress and self-reproach; she hurriedly rushed over to help him, “Yichen! I know you’re worried about me, but you can’t neglect your own health! Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything!”
Ning Yichen gave her a glance, his dark eyes seemingly void of any emotion.
A shiver ran through Su Lianxi’s heart.
“Yichen…” she said with an aggrieved look, “do you suspect me?”
Only then did Ning Yichen slightly smile, “How could I.”
“That’s a relief,” Su Lianxi breathed out and smiled, “I’m about to become your wife. Compared to that, what’s the female lead role? How could I do something so irrational.”
Ning Yichen’s gaze became more focused.
Yes, that was also the reason he had convinced himself. He believed Lianxi would never make such an irrational choice.
But he couldn’t bring himself to believe that the woman in the photo was Su Zixi, because Su Zixi had stayed in his hospital room until eight o’clock last night before leaving. At that time, there was no reason for her to run to Muyun Hotel to curry favor with an investor.
Ning Yichen finally moved to sit on the sofa, and amidst Su Guo’an and Lin Shuyue’s kind inquiries, he didn’t match their enthusiasm, only smiling faintly.
Su Lianxi personally poured him a cup of water and said softly, “Yichen, I’m sorry for making you worry. I don’t know why my sister would do such a thing…”
Ning Yichen looked at her delicate face, his heart filled with an indescribable mix of emotions.
“Lianxi, how can you be so sure that the person in the picture is definitely Su Zixi?” he asked softly.
“Because that jacket belongs to my sister… I’ve seen her wearing it,” Su Lianxi said hesitantly, “Also, the news said that the person has the surname Su, their name ends with ‘xi’, and they’re still a student. My sister fits all of it.”
Ning Yichen suddenly wanted to say, you fit all of it as well.
But he ultimately held back.
Reason told him that he should trust Lianxi, but thinking about her absence since yesterday, and recalling Su Zixi’s care for him for several hours in his hospital room, Ning Yichen just couldn’t convince himself to believe.
“So, where were you last night?” Ning Yichen looked at her, and said word by word, “I called you several times, and you didn’t answer.”
Su Lianxi was taken aback, then her eyes began to redden.
Tears suddenly started streaming down her cheeks. She spoke in a heartbroken voice, “Yichen, you still suspect me, don’t you? You really do suspect me!”
