A crease formed on Lu Jingchen’s handsome face. “What do you mean? Was I wrong?”
Mu Siyin whispered again, “You don’t understand love. That’s why you don’t get it.”
Lu Jingchen turned his face to her helplessly. “I admit that I’ve never fallen in love before, but an outsider has a clearer picture of what’s going on. I’ve already explained how you and Shi Beiyu won’t work.”
After that, he turned his gaze back on the road, only to see a car suddenly appear out of nowhere from his right and dash forward to block his lane. It was only a matter of time before they crashed. Lu Jingchen widened his eyes as he slammed his feet on the emergency brake.
His entire body jerked forward from the commotion.
When his body finally landed on the car seat, a cold sweat broke out all over him. His steering wheel was also drenched in sweat.
Mu Siyin was completely frightened by what happened. She clutched onto the handrail of her seat tightly as her body stiffened. Her heart was thumping furiously against her chest.
Her sister had passed away because of a car crash. Not only that, but she had also died in a car accident in her past life, which even cost Shi Beiyu and their baby’s life.
That was why she was terrified of car accidents.
In fact, she almost jumped out of her skin just now!
After Lu Jingchen came back to his senses, he put on a poker face and rolled down the window to yell, “You motherf*cker…”
He had just started to yell when he noticed how posh the person who walked out of the car looked. Suddenly, he widened his eyes and gaped in surprise.
Mu Siyin was still in a daze, so when she realized that Shi Beiyu was the driver of that other car, she was stunned…
Unless… Did he see her just now?
Having already caught a glimpse of Mu Siyin in the car, Shi Beiyu strode forward and lifted his hand to yank open the door. After that, he bent over and unbuckled her seat belt dominantly before carrying her out of the car.
Mu Siyin frowned and struggled. “Put me down!”
Lu Jingchen panicked when he saw this.
“Shi Beiyu! Let go of my cousin!” He quickly got out of the car and stopped Shi Beiyu furiously.
Shi Beiyu looked at Lu Jingchen coldly. “You brought her there, didn’t you?”
Shi Beiyu had forgotten that the Lu family was one of the nobles in the capital. Hence, they would have received an invitation.
However, he never expected that Lu Jingchen would bring Mu Siyin to the banquet!
If it was in the past, Lu Jingchen would never do anything to provoke Shi Beiyu. Nevertheless, things had changed the moment Shi Beiyu dragged Mu Siyin into his mess. He was even going to pick a fiancee now! No matter how scared he was, he had to do it for Mu Siyin’s sake!
“Yes! Do you have a problem with that? If she didn’t go, how would she find out that you’ve been lying to her all this time?”
“I didn’t lie to her!” Shi Beiyu’s reply was deep and firm.
Lu Jingchen chuckled. “You didn’t? Then who are the ladies for tonight? How about that woman in white? We’ve seen for ourselves how close you are with her, yet you still deny!”
Mu Siyin could no longer hold back her emotions. All the bitterness and grievances she felt instantly overwhelmed here, and tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes.
“Cuz, stop it…”
Her voice croaked as she tried her best to break free from Shi Beiyu’s clutches. With her back against him, waterworks streamed down her face.
No one knew how much she trusted Shi Beiyu.
He had given her his life in the past one, and that was how he got her unconditional trust. Ever since, she had taken him as the one exception in her life — her one and only.
However, that changed the moment she saw the elegant and posh lady in the white dress. When the duo walked out of the side hall with the woman’s hand on his arm, Mu Siyin could not help but feel conceited…
