Chapter 238 - Believe me (1/2)
Su Bei's eyes were wide open, her mouth agape as she saw the video played during the launch.
She felt her heart disintegrated into teeny-tiny pieces--as if something was gnawing on her heart, causing it to ache.
With the discomfort that she felt and with the video still flashing in her mind even though she just watched it once, her eyes turned glassy as tears formed in her eyes.
Seeing her best friend, Yan Mei, on top of Leng Shao, the man he dated upon Yan Mei's suggestion, how could she look at Leng Shao the same way when she already started having feelings for him?
”Su Bei.”
The moment Leng Shao said her name, she snapped out of her thoughts. Her eyebrows creased as she looked at Leng Shao, almost forgetting that she was beside him all along when the video played before everyone.
With that in mind, Su Bei turned her body and started walking away. Leng Shao's eyes showed worry as he saw her retreating figure.
”Su Bei, wait!”
Leng Shao chased after Su Bei. He caught her by the wrist, and the moment Su Bei felt his hand, she shook her hand away from him and stared at him with pain plastered in her eyes.
”You like Yan Mei, don't you?”
”Su Bei...”
Leng Shao felt wronged. Yes, he had feelings towards Yan Mei, but when he went on a date with Su Bei, he realized that he could start falling for someone else, too!
With the video playing before them, Leng Shao understood why Su Bei acted this way.
But how could he convince her to believe him? He knew that the man on the video wasn't him even though he looked exactly like him.
How could Leng Shao convince Su Bei if the video looked so convincing?
”See?” Su Bei scoffed, snapping Leng Shao out of his stupor. ”You couldn't even answer. You like Yan Mei.”
With her walking away from him again, Leng Shao could not help but feel the fear of losing her even though they just had a date once and had only met recently.
Grabbing her by the wrist again, Leng Shao pulled her closer to him, surprising Su Bei as she landed on his chest, her hand sprawled on him as she supported her weight.
Leng Shao stared straight into her flabbergasted eyes as Su Bei furrowed her brows, not liking the position that she is in the arms of Leng Shao, the man whom her best friend f.u.c.k.i.e.d.
”Leng Shao, stop! Let me go!”
”No, I won't!”
His words came out strong, surprising Su Bei as his words reverberated in her ears, traveling towards her mind and heart as if convincing her to listen to him.
”The man and the woman in the video. It isn't me and Yan Mei. You know Yan Mei well. Do you think she would? With me?”
