"Of course I know about that time in the U.S. when you 'heroically' saved me from those thugs. There’s no way such a coincidence could happen in this world." Feng Yaya stared at Lin Li. "Those thugs were hired by you, weren’t they?"
Lin Li’s face turned pale.
She actually knew.
"And all those so-called chance encounters afterward weren’t coincidences or fate either—they were all carefully orchestrated by you!"
"Lin Li, you never actually liked me. What you wanted was my family background. You lost your roots, so you thought marrying me would give you control over me and access to the Feng family’s wealth!"
Feng Yaya had seen right through him.
"No, that’s not true!" Lin Li instinctively denied it.
He knew he was at her mercy now. If she found out everything, she wouldn’t let him off the hook.
He grabbed her hand. "Yaya, these are all lies! I didn’t plan any of this!"
"Someone must have misled you." His face was deathly pale as he immediately shifted the blame to Lin Xuan.
"Yaya, was it Lin Xuan? Listen, Lin Xuan resents me for being favored in the Lin family. He’s been scheming against me—he must have fed you false information to turn you against me!"
Feng Yaya had always held a favorable opinion of Lin Xuan, and seeing Lin Li slander him like this infuriated her.
Her expression darkened as she kicked Lin Li to the ground.
Then she stepped on his face. "Lin Li, did you really think I’d be so easy to fool? I was blind before, which is why I believed you actually cared about me."
"Let me make this clear—I won’t be deceived by you again." Her plump face was devoid of any emotion.
Realizing he couldn’t talk his way out of this, Lin Li’s mind went blank.
He couldn’t go through those nightmares again.
He had to make her believe he truly loved her—it was his only chance.
"Fine, Yaya, I admit I deliberately approached you." Lin Li lay on the ground, struggling to speak with her foot pressing on his face. "But it was because I liked you. I fell in love with you at first sight and thought the hero act would make you notice me."
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had his arm around Su Hua’s shoulders, watching the surveillance footage while enjoying the drama.
Su Hua, however, wasn’t interested in the spectacle. Instead, she occasionally picked up a piece of fruit and fed it to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan sighed. "Hua Bao, this surveillance footage is more entertaining than any movie."
Su Hua’s eyes curved into a smile.
If there was one thing Lin Li was good for, it was amusing Lin Xuan.
Back in the basement—
Feng Yaya looked down at Lin Li with scorn. "If you really fell for me at first sight, then you should remember exactly when and where it happened. Tell me—where was I, what was I doing?"
Lin Li clenched his fists.
How the hell was he supposed to know that?
Damn it!
Since when had Feng Yaya become so sharp? She’d always been a fool before!
As he hesitated, Feng Yaya pressed her foot harder against his face.
"Can’t answer?" she mocked.
"Of course I remember!" Lin Li blurted. "It was three days before the thug incident. I saw you in the library, reading intently. I was browsing books too, and when I glanced at you, I couldn’t look away. After that, I asked around about you."
Feng Yaya let out a cold laugh. "Lin Li, did you not know? I hate studying. Before meeting you, I never once stepped into a library voluntarily."
Lin Li froze.
"But… you told me you loved reading in libraries!"
That was why he’d used it as part of his lie.
Feng Yaya burst into derisive laughter.
"I only pretended to be studious to impress you, Lin Li. I wanted you to think well of me!"
Lin Li’s fists trembled with rage.
Damn it!
She’d tricked him again!
"So, Lin Li, your so-called love at first sight was another lie. And let me tell you—I hate being lied to the most."
She lifted her foot from his face and crouched down, gripping his chin.
"Lin Li, you’re going to enjoy what comes next."
"No, no!" Lin Li was terrified now. He clutched her arm. "Yaya, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have deceived you. Do whatever you want to me—even though I don’t have that anymore, I can still… satisfy you."
"I can use my hands, or anything else you want."
"Just name it, and I’ll do it!"
His voice was desperate.
He couldn’t endure more torture.
He was broken.
"No need." Feng Yaya sneered. "I already have a man I love. I’m saving myself for him."
Su Hua’s hand, which had been feeding Lin Xuan, paused briefly before she calmly resumed, placing a piece of watermelon at his lips.
Lin Li’s eyes widened.
Their wedding was only three days away—how could she already be interested in someone else?
Damn it!
No wonder she wasn’t acting like her usual stupid self—she’d moved on!
No, she’d probably been seeing someone else even before calling off the wedding.
That’s why she’d broken it off so easily!
"Who is it?" Lin Li snarled through gritted teeth.
Lin Xuan suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"Hua Bao, this isn’t worth watching anymore. Let’s turn it off and go to bed."
He reached for the remote, but Su Hua’s slender fingers stopped him.
"Ah Xuan, don’t be in such a hurry." Her red lips curled. "I think things are about to get interesting."
"But—"
Before he could argue, she added, "Are you trying to hide something?"
Lin Xuan coughed lightly.
"I’ve done nothing wrong. Why would I be nervous?"
Aside from childhood, he and Feng Yaya had zero history.
He was just worried Su Hua might get jealous again.
Last time, just because Feng Yaya glanced at him a few times, Su Hua had dragged him to their villa for three straight days.
If Feng Yaya admitted she liked him now, Su Hua would never let him off.
The only silver lining right now was that Su Hua was on her period.
"If you’re not nervous, then let’s keep watching, okay?" Su Hua arched a delicate brow.
Her tone carried a subtle threat.
"Fine, let’s watch." Lin Xuan braced himself.
In this situation, how could he possibly refuse?
