Chapter 238: 241 He was furious and frustrated_1
Su Yueze had been feeling down in a way he never had before, feeling awkward like never before.
He had always been loyal to his friends. Why did that change when it came to her?
Lin Xiangwan glanced at his Lamborghini, hesitated for a moment, but eventually got into his car.
Su Yueze breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully offered his thanks with both hands. "Thank you, beauty, for saving face for me. If you hadn’t gotten in, I wouldn’t have known how to get back!"
Lin Xiangwan looked at him indifferently. "Since you’re here, I’ll get in the car."
"Wanwan..." Su Yueze said awkwardly. "I heard Ji Sen got out!"
"Hmm..."
"Great, it seems law is still just. It won’t let a criminal go free, nor would it leave a good man alone," Su Yueze said with a beaming smile.
"Hmm..." Lin Xiangwan replied in an unusually soft voice.
"So, you don’t need to worry anymore!"
"You think?"
Su Yueze fell into gloom again. She was responding to him with monosyllabic answers, which was driving him crazy.
Could he just say, in hindsight, that he deeply regretted not helping her?
Even if Qin Muchuan couldn’t help, couldn’t Xiao Qingcang step in?
This made him feel utterly despicable; he even began to hate himself.
Lin Xiangwan closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She hadn’t had a good night’s sleep for days.
Su Yueze didn’t disturb her and quietly drove.
Soon, the car came off the highway and entered the city.
The sounds of passing cars and honking horns woke Lin Xiangwan.
"That was fast!" she blinked and looked out the window
"Yeah!" Su Yueze maneuvered through the traffic with expert skill.
Lin Xiangwan straightened her clothes and cleared her throat. "Yueze, drop me off near the mall!"
"Hmm? Are you going shopping?" Su Yueze asked, puzzled.
Wouldn’t she be in a rush to get home, to see her child?
"Yes, I’m going to buy some clothes!" said Lin Xiangwan, expressionless.
"Okay!"
Su Yueze couldn’t put a finger on his feelings. He felt that Lin Xiangwan had somehow changed after returning from Jiangcheng; as if she had seen through something, as if she was planning something big.
After several intersections, under Lin Xiangwan’s directions, the car stopped in front of a large mall building.
Without a word, Lin Xiangwan got out of the car.
Su Yueze followed. "Are you going to be shopping alone?"
"Hmm."
"Isn’t that boring?"
"It’s okay, I’m used to it!" Lin Xiangwan slung a small bag over her shoulder and headed toward the mall.
"Forget it, I don’t have anything else to do anyway, I’ll go with you!"
"No need to bother!" Lin Xiangwan smiled. "People like you are always busy with business, always making money. Wouldn’t I be wasting your money by doing this?"
"It’s worth it for you. I haven’t had a day off like this in a long time," Su Yueze intercepted her hand and they headed to the second floor of the mall.
As they approached the lingerie section, Lin Xiangwan paused, clearly uncomfortable. "Why don’t you... go check out the handbags over there? I’ll choose here for a while and come find you when I’m done!"
"Okay!"
He could sense that she was different, so he didn’t tease her.
Lin Xiangwan entered a lingerie counter. It wasn’t a luxury brand, just a little expensive one, and thus affordable for the average consumer.
The colors here were vibrant!
Lin Xiangwan chose the most visually striking one!
She paid for it, picked up the paper bag and left the counter.
Su Yueze came over and snickered. "You’re really putting in effort for your husband this time."
"I also want to look at some clothes over there!" Lin Xiangwan pointed to another women’s clothing section with a smile.
"Okay!"
Lin Xiangwan roamed here and there examining prices and styles, every piece of clothing she bought was a painstaking choice!
Su Yueze then said, "Your husband isn’t going bankrupt. If you like a piece of clothing, just buy it! Why bother so much?"
"I don’t want to use his money. I am buying these with my own money. I haven’t been working and money is quite tight!"
"Then why ...don’t you want to use his money?"
"I just don’t!"
"Why?"
Lin Xiangwan, being annoyed by continuous questioning, blurted out. "Because I’m going to go on a date with another man and get a room. I can’t wear the clothes he bought me for that, can I? Even if I have no principles, I do have my limits!"
Su Yueze’s eyes widened in shock. "What did you say?"
Lin Xiangwan quickly shut her mouth and shook her head, "It’s nothing, I was just speaking nonsense!"
Su Yueze squinted his eyes, grabbed her shoulders and cornered her. "No, you weren’t just saying nonsense, you were very serious! Speak up, what is really happening?"
He pulled her to a deserted corner, determined to find out.
Lin Xiangwan lowered her head, anguished. "You insist on asking. What will you do after knowing?"
"What is it?"
"I don’t want to tell you!"
"You have to!" Su asked firmly. "If you don’t tell me today, I won’t let you go!"
Lin Xiangwan looked up. "Then you must promise not to tell Qin Muchuan. Can you promise?"
"Sure!" He agreed very quickly!
"If you tell Qin Muchuan, I will never consider you as a friend again!" Lin Xiangwan’s eyes were particularly resolute.
Su Yueze didn’t want to agree, but still had to. "Okay!"
Lin Xiangwan nodded. "I have agreed to accompany a major figure in Jiangcheng. He has promised me that he would help to release Ji Sen."
Su Yueze’s eyes widened in shock, and he angrily grabbed her shoulders. "Are you insane? Do you realize what you’ve accepted? How could you? Can’t you consider yourself more valuable?"
Lin Xiangwan’s eyes filled with tears. "But no one could help me. I had no choice, I had no choice!"
