Chapter 518: Chapter 518 Speaking a Lie Once

Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment but still pressed the answer button carefully, "Wife, why are you calling me so early? Is there something you need?"

"Can’t I call if there’s nothing wrong? Have you arrived at the Company?"

Lin Tong asked, her voice very calm; it was hard to tell if she was happy or sad.

"I... was just downstairs."

Ye Xuan hesitated for a while before saying, "How about I go buy you breakfast now?"

"No need, just come to my office quickly."

As soon as Lin Tong finished speaking, there was silence.

Then, a ’beep beep’ tone came from the phone; she had already hung up.

Ye Xuan smiled bitterly inside; it’s a blessing if not a curse, but a curse cannot be avoided! It seemed he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to.

After putting down the phone, he stood hesitantly for a moment, then had no choice but to head towards Lin Tong’s office toughening up.

What usually was a one or two-minute walk took Ye Xuan five minutes as he dragged his feet, only then reaching Lin Tong’s office.

He knocked on the door from outside and heard a response before he pushed the door open and entered.

At that moment, Lin Tong, dressed in an OL uniform, stood facing away from the door, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, arms crossed, looking at the scenery outside.

She remained as calm as ever at Ye Xuan’s arrival, her expression unflustered; she didn’t look at him or turn around.

Ye Xuan approached Lin Tong and sneakily glanced at her face.

Then he organized his words and cautiously said, "Wife, this... what did you want to see me for?"

Lin Tong turned around, her beautiful and cold face unmatched, her eyes gazing at him as she said indifferently, "Did I need to have something specific to want to see you? Don’t you have anything you want to tell me?"

Uh...

Ye Xuan was silenced by Lin Tong’s counter-question.

He fumbled for a cigarette pack from his pocket, took one out, and put it in his mouth, then pulled out a lighter, ready to light the cigarette.

Lin Tong frowned and gruffly said, "If you want to smoke, go outside, don’t smoke in my office!"

Ye Xuan paused, chuckled sheepishly.

He put the lighter away, and the cigarette he had in his mouth was put back into the cigarette pack.

Then, he looked at Lin Tong and shrugged, "Alright, wife, since you want to know, then it’s the same unimportant question as last time. Do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?"

Faced with the same question, Lin Tong was silent this time.

After a long while, she looked at Ye Xuan seriously and said, "This time, I want to hear you lie."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan was stunned, gazing at Lin Tong’s resolute expression, he sighed slightly inside; it seemed his wife still couldn’t accept it.

After a moment of thought, Ye Xuan said, "A lie would be that there’s no feeling between her and me, and it’s impossible for us to be together. Actually, I’d prefer you to hear the truth, because lies only deceive oneself and others!"

Lin Tong’s body trembled slightly, she bit her red lips and said, "So what’s your truth? Is it that you’ve fallen for her? But didn’t you reject her yesterday? Why have you changed your story now? Was that just a lie to deceive me?"

"I haven’t lied to you, nor have I changed my story, I truly don’t like her, that’s also the truth," Ye Xuan said earnestly.

"Then why did you just now..."

Lin Tong wore a suspicious expression, somewhat unclear about the other person’s thoughts.

"I don’t like her, but I have to admit that I do have feelings for her. This is the truth," Ye Xuan said simply.

In fact, he could have easily lied, used his usual smooth-talking charm to tell girls that he had no feelings for Su Yumo, which would have made everything much easier.

But he didn’t want to deceive Lin Tong, the woman in front of him was his wife, not one of those girls he flirted with outside, whom he could say anything to!

Since they were married, they should respect and be honest with each other! If there were lies and deceit between them, Ye Xuan couldn’t imagine whether the marriage could continue, or if it was already in name only.

Moreover, if he lied to Lin Tong, then his feelings for Su Yumo would always have to be kept secret, never to be brought to the surface.

If it were accidentally revealed one day, once his wife noticed and knew he had been deceiving her, the resulting consequences would be a hundred times worse than now! It could even directly lead to the breakdown of their marital relationship!

Such consequences were unbearable for Ye Xuan, and something he did not want to see.

Therefore, Ye Xuan decided to tell the truth! Sometimes truth is cruel, but if not now, he would have to say it later! It was better to tell her early and let Lin Tong accept it more quickly.

After hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Lin Tong felt a bit uneasy.

Having her husband admit his feelings for another woman right in front of her, probably any woman wouldn’t feel good about it!

"Can I take it that you mean you don’t like her now, but you are on the way to falling for her?" Lin Tong asked.

"That’s right."

Ye Xuan answered truthfully.

"Ha, so this is your truth?" Lin Tong laughed coldly.

"Yes, I don’t want to deny it, nor do I want to lie to you! This is my genuine feeling," Ye Xuan nodded and admitted.

"You men are really all fickle, already having a wife but still flirting around! I thought you were an exception, but you are not much better than those despicable men out there."

Lin Tong stared icily at Ye Xuan, her beautiful face tinged with mockery.

Ye Xuan sweated!

From his wife’s words, it was clear that she was really jealous. However, at this critical moment, he could only bear her rebukes without arguing back.

Lin Tong exhaled softly and asked, "So what are your intentions toward me now? Do you want to divorce me and marry her?"

"Of course not, my dear wife, my attitude toward you has never changed! How could I possibly divorce you? I want to grow old with you, have many children and grandchildren. You are always the woman I love the most!"

Ye Xuan said earnestly.

Hearing this, Lin Tong’s expression eased slightly, but then she spoke angrily, "If you plan to spend your life with me, why would you interfere with Yumo? Don’t you know she’s my best friend? Now with things turning out this way, how do you expect me to interact with her in the future?"

Seeing Lin Tong vent her anger at him, Ye Xuan actually felt relieved.

What he feared most was Lin Tong’s expressionless face, treating him indifferently, which made it hard for him to grasp her thoughts!

Now that Lin Tong was angry and venting, it actually proved that she had acknowledged the situation internally but was just unable to accept it for the time being.

"Why not interact with her as you always have?"

Ye Xuan shrugged.

Now, he was no longer worried. As long as there was a good start, relying on his persuasive abilities, he believed he could manoeuvre between the two women.

He was confident that everything would eventually develop according to his wishes!
