Chapter 289 - Explanation (2/2)

His voice was very calm and composed with a trace of hoa.r.s.eness but Zuo Weiyi felt even more hurt after listening to his words as she leaned against his chest.

“But you obviously…”

“No, I did not. Since you already came, why didn’t you stay until the end?”

If she had stayed until the end, she would not have misunderstood him, and her heart would not be aching right now.

As he thought about how Zuo Weiyi must have felt when she left last night, s.h.i.+ Yuting felt so many regrets, and he really wanted to punch himself in the face.

Stay until the end?

Zuo Weiyi finally calmed down in his arms.

Was he telling her that the result would be different if she had stayed until the end of the banquet?

Zuo Weiyi pushed him away as she stared at him and asked, “So, you are not engaged to Tengtang Xi?”

“No.”

“But…”

“I am telling you, no!”

s.h.i.+ Yuting looked at her with a very firm expression on his face.

Zuo Weiyi was at a loss for words.

She could tell that s.h.i.+ Yuting was not lying at all. So, was he really not engaged to Tengtang Xi?

What happened last night?

Zuo Weiyi had a blank expression on her face as she stared at the handsome man standing in front of her.

s.h.i.+ Yuting completely ignored the presence of others as he raised his hands and cupped her delicate face with them, before putting his forehead against hers as he spoke to her very gently.

“I would never lie to you. Trust me.”

His voice seemed to be very magical, and Zuo Weiyi did not know what to think anymore.

She could not doubt the man standing before her.

“Cough! Cough!”

At this time, Zuo Yi who was standing nearby, cleared his throat to remind the couple that there were still other people in the room.
