Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Only With a Pure Heart Can You Let Someone In

Liang Lei’s number appeared on the phone, each ring sounding like a death sentence striking Lin Hanrui’s forehead.

He thought to himself, maybe she wasn’t satisfied with cursing him on WeChat, and now she was calling to continue the scolding?

At least she was acknowledging him. Being cursed was better than getting the silent treatment.

Just a second before answering, he saw the message on WeChat synced with his computer—

north: I told you, think about her until you cry, and get yourself in the mood.

"Lin Hanrui." Liang Lei’s aggressive voice came through the receiver.

Lin Hanrui immediately switched to a sobbing voice, "Huh?"

"..."

Hearing the heavy nasal sound, Liang Lei paused, suspiciously asking, "What’s wrong with you?"

Her softer tone indicated that there was hope.

Lin Hanrui seized the opportunity, sniffed, and portrayed a facade of toughness, "...Nothing much."

Liang Lei thought he was overacting, both old foxes, don’t perform a ghost story in front of her.

"Lin Hanrui, do you know what kind of man I dislike the most?"

Lin Hanrui: "What kind?"

Liang Lei said, "Those who cry babyishly, it’s annoying to hear."

Just didn’t believe he wouldn’t give himself away.

Lin Hanrui was about to explain his act, but suddenly realized maybe Liang Lei was testing him.

He strategically paused, pulled out a tissue to blow his nose, Liang Lei listened on the other end, waiting until he was done, then picked up the phone again and said,

"Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’ll hang up."

Liang Lei: "..."

Oh, acting like a wronged wife suddenly made all the resentment she had born over the past few days dissipate.

"Lin Hanrui, what’s the deal, I’m calling you, and you’re acting like this? Are you not the flirty you anymore?"

"... I’m not, I’m not." Lin Hanrui looked awkwardly out of the window, this time he was genuinely expressing his feelings, "Liang Lei, please forgive me, I admit when she sent the photos, I did enjoy looking at them, but I really didn’t intend to have any substantial relationship with them, honestly, I swear on my life, really. If you don’t believe me, you can check my phone anytime. Just give me this one chance."

This cold war ultimately was Lin Hanrui’s fault. Last year he met a young girl while skiing. She couldn’t ski, and he, seeing that she was young and beautiful, offered to teach her. They spent half a day on the slopes together. The young girl, impressed by his looks and personality, asked to add him on WeChat. They lost contact afterwards, and Lin Hanrui almost forgot about her. Then last week, she suddenly messaged saying she was coming to Danjiang with her friend to unwind as her friend had just broken up. She sent two photos of them in sexy swimsuits by a pool, their wet bodies and hair, youthful charms on full display.

Who wouldn’t be momentarily distracted by these pictures? Lin Hanrui certainly was, looking three or four dozen times, at most.

He didn’t think much of it; he was just planning to host them since they came from out of town, treating them to a meal and a few tourist attractions as a courtesy.

Just as he was explaining this, Liang Lei arrived at the office unexpectedly. Lin Hanrui, seated on the sofa with his back to the door, was oblivious as Liang Lei quietly approached from behind, planning to surprise him. But just as she was about to cover his eyes, she saw the appalling exchange on WeChat.

Sweet girl is not sweet: Big brother, my friend and I don’t have much money, and she’s heartbroken. She wants to relax for a bit, how about this? You cover our trip expenses and we will hang out with you for a few days?

The young girl was quite forward with her words, but who could resist? Whether rich or poor, Lin Hanrui didn’t dare play like this, courting death with a double date. Besides, he had Liang Lei now; even without her, he wouldn’t be that reckless.

Before he could respond, his phone was snatched.

"Oh God——" He was startled, turning to see Liang Lei glaring coldly at him, a fury capable of blowing off his top. He broke into a cold sweat, speaking incoherently.

"Liang Lei, I, I, I didn’t... I didn’t, I swear." The more flustered Lin Hanrui was, the more he stammered, "I, I, I did nothing, I didn’t agree to anything."

Liang Lei, with a cold face, lowered her eyes and scrolled through the chat history. Lin Hanrui recalled the swimsuit pictures above, took a big step over the sofa to grab his phone, saying, "Listen to me."

Liang Lei raised a finger, "Stand right there and don’t move."

Stunned by the immobilization spell, Lin Hanrui stood still, watching her open the photos of the two girls. He swallowed hard, awaiting judgment.

Honestly, being with Liang Lei was full of noisy quarrels, but also happiness, yet this time felt different.

After reviewing everything, Liang Lei returned the phone to him calmly.

"Lin Hanrui, I overestimated you, let’s end it."

"No, no, no," Lin Hanrui pushed her onto the sofa, "sit down, sit down, don’t be impulsive, let me explain."

Lin Hanrui constantly emphasized that he was also shocked by the message, "Honest, I was trembling when she said that, even if she dared, I wouldn’t dare. Who knows if it’s safe?"

"What did you say?" Liang Lei raised her eyebrows, a deep crease in her brow capable of clipping him, "You said you didn’t think about it, yet you even thought about safety. Scared of dirt, you’ll wear a condom, don’t suffocate yourself."

"I, I, I, sh*t." Lin Hanrui slapped his own mouth, "I’ve got a foul mouth, I didn’t mean it, I meant, even if she’s willing, I’m not willing. I have you; how could I be interested in her? There’s nothing she has that you don’t beat."

Liang Lei’s eyes turned sharp, "Get lost! Comparing me with them! I’ll kick you to death!"

She stood up, kicking Lin Hanrui’s shin, making him clutch his leg in pain, grimacing, "I genuinely, genuinely considered nothing, I truly intended to refuse, but you snatched my phone before I could reply."

Liang Lei didn’t want to hear his explanation anymore and walked to the door. Lin Hanrui caught up, blocked by Liang Lei, who looked into his eyes and said,

"Lin Hanrui, since we’ve known each other, you should understand my temper. I’m not someone casual; if a connection comes, I don’t resist. Open and honest, I pursue with seriousness. We agreed on the day we defined our relationship to keep it clean. What are you doing now?"

Liang Lei pointed at his phone, "I believe, only a clean heart can hold someone. Yours,"

She tapped the area over his heart, "is overloaded."

After saying, "Let’s end it," she left.

From that day, Lin Hanrui consistently pleaded for Liang Lei’s forgiveness, sent a message refusing the young girl’s offer, recorded the screen as he deleted her WeChat, and sent videos and screenshots to Liang Lei proving he really had no contact with them and would never contact them again.

He coaxed for a week, but Liang Lei ignored him. If it weren’t for Cheng Qiaobei’s advice, Liang Lei probably still wouldn’t be speaking to him.

The phone was silent, and Lin Hanrui pleaded,

"Liang Lei, this will never happen again, I really don’t dare anymore."

That week, Liang Lei also calmed down and thought about whether she should continue her relationship with Lin Hanrui.

He was terribly attractive to women, and whenever they went out, there were times when she was absent, women would seize the chance to ask for his WeChat. She deliberately avoided them to observe, and Lin Hanrui would always refuse, proving that fundamentally, this man still had a bit of a Bottom Line.
