701: Trust Me

Zhan Lichuan turned towards Jing Anran, and the puppy dog eyes that he had while speaking to Jinqian had completely disappeared.2

They had been replaced by a cold, scary look and a face of dissatisfaction.

"You said that you know me? When did you see me? Who was there to witness it?"

Zhan Lichuan didn't think that there would be a day in his life where he would have a debate with a woman.

Such an embarrassment.

Jing Anran said with a broken heart, "We've met multiple times. How could you say that you don't know me?"

"Example." 

Zhan Lihcuan didn't want to waste any time on Jing Anran.

"The last time we met was at the banquet held by the Li Corporations. We-"

"I was with Li Juncheng the entire night. Even if Li Junchen wasn't wrong, I was playing cards with Fei Heng. When did you meet me?"

"I- I came over to talk to you and there were so many other events that we both attended. As long as you were there, I would join as well. Didn't we meet each other multiple times at these events?"

Zhan Lichuan let out a breath of relief and looked towards Jinqian with his puppy dog eyes.

"Although the Ops Corporates are in H City, I would always attend events in the Imperial City. There would be about 100 attendees at these events. Most of them would bring along their daughters and grandchildren in hopes of getting them married. I would have to deal with at least 20 of these women. I may have a good memory, but I'm sure that I don't know her."

Zhan Lichaun saw his wife's arm that was hanging by her side, which was why he quickly took the opportunity to hold it and said, "You have to trust me."

They had been sleeping together for the past few nights and he would always hug her to sleep. They were already extremely close, even though they hadn't kissed.

He had completely forgotten that the reason why he got to hug his wife to sleep wasn't because of how close they were. It was only because he had been offering to give her a massage. Zhan Lichuan was now feeling confident that his wife would not beat him up, since there was a love rival in front of her.

Therefore, even if it was something that he didn't dare to do previously, he was able to do it smoothly today.

Jinqian obviously saw the hand that was coming for hers, but this was the man that she would be spending her life with for the next 5 years. Plus, she liked him, and he was the only man that she didn't mind being close to.

Therefore, Jinqian allowed Zhan Lichuan to hold her hand, especially when Jing Anran was about to pierce a hole through Jinqian's hands with her eyes.

When Jing Anran saw Zhan Lichuan holding onto Jinqian's hands, she felt as if her life was over.

The expectations that she had earlier had all led to disappointment.

This was because Zhan Lichuan wasn't just holding any other woman. It was the woman who completely ruined her life.

"Third brother, you… How could you…"

Jing Anran wanted to say that Jinqian wasn't good enough for him, but as she thought of how their position had switched and Jinqian was now the young miss of the Di family, she couldn't say it. 

Instead, she decided to say, "I know that it's not right for me to say so, but since you know her, you should know that she has just hit a jackpot recently. I don't know how I became the daughter of the Di family, but it cannot be denied that I was the young miss of the Di family for the past 20 years."
