Chapter 619 - LU LIANG’S REVENGE (1/2)

In the restaurant, Qi Han and Murong Yue were facing each other over a meal. Qi Han was eating a rare steak while Murong Yue was poking at her salad. Wang Che had left, choosing not to have dinner with them since Shun was not with him.

”Do you think Wang Che will be fine?” Murong Yue asked, suppressing nausea at the sight of the meat on Qi Han's plate.

”You seem overly concerned about him.” Qi Han looked at her sharply.

”I am just trying to make conversation. Can you not be so defensive all the time?” Murong Yue put down her fork with annoyance.

”Do you think I do not have a right to be defensive against you?” Qi Han asked.

Murong Yue laughed. ”Are you sure you want to have a conversation about this right now?”

Qi Han put down his fork and knife and looked at Murong Yue with the cold eyes of a businessman. He wanted to hear what Murong Yue had to say. Since her pregnancy was revealed, the two of them had not talked about where they stood.

Their interactions were those of acquaintances.

”Now is a good a time as any. Please, speak your mind, Miss Murong.” Qi Han said.

Murong Yue took a deep breath. ”Look, you keep treating me as your mortal enemy, and I do not believe that I have done anything to deserve that. I might not be a good person, but I have never done anything bad towards you.”

”Haven't you?” Qi Han asked sarcastically.

Murong Yue laughed lightly. ”Yes, I used you to make my life better. But you must admit that you also used me. I was a gateway to Hu Lei. And when you realised it was hopeless, you used me to forget her. On that count, I say it is a fair exchange.”

Qi Han gritted his teeth when she mentioned the matter with Hu Lei.

”You know that it is not what I am talking about.” He said with annoyance.

”Oh, do you mean the baby?” Murong Yue lifted her head with pride. ”Once again, I did not plot against you to get pregnant. Did I hope that it would happen? Yes. I am a girl from an aristocratic family, so I have to think about securing my future before someone interferes.”

”So, you admit it!” Qi Han raised his voice.

Some of the other diners looked in their direction. But they turned away when they saw Qi Han. He was not someone that most people could afford to mess up with.

”Admit what?” Murong Yue responded in a harsh whisper. ”I said I wanted it to happen. The only thing I did was not use contraception. I did not trick you. I did not drug you. I did not touch your condoms. If you had taken precautions, we would not be in this situation.”

Qi Han could not say anything. Could he tell her that it was her responsibility to make sure she did not get pregnant? No. He was careless because he did not want to think deeply about what he was doing at the time. He felt like she was in the wrong, but both of them were at fault.

”Look, we are already here. I want to take control of my life before someone does it for me. The method I chose is a little despicable, but I believe it is my best option. I might not be in love with you, but I like you enough. I would like for our relationship to work.” Murong Yue added.
