"Cheng Qingchong!" Qin Yinan cut her off harshly and rudely.

  Thinking about it, this was the first time he had used such a harsh tone with her; it scared Cheng Qingchong so much that she clamped her mouth shut. The car reverted to a state of silence. Half a minute later, Qin Yinan began again. "Do you still not understand what I’m saying?

  "I, Qin Yinan, am disposing of you, Cheng Qingchong.

  "Do you get it now?"

  Cheng Qingchong’s lips fell open, but no sound came out. The tears that were swirling in her eyes stopped moving at that moment.

  "I believe that you should know why I’m doing this better than anyone else." Qin Yinan scoffed with derision before adding, "Taking advantage of a vulnerable drunken man, removing his clothes, and seducing a man whom she’s not even familiar with, or have you forgotten how depraved you were that night?"

  Depraved…… A single word made the blood drain from Cheng Qingchong’s face. Her eyes that fell on Qin Yinan started to waver, and in the end, she lowered her head in shame. So, he has discovered all my lies…… but when did he find out? Is it when he started being good to me? How come I didn’t notice anything?

  Just as the thought cropped up in Cheng Qingchong’s mind, Qin Yinan’s emotionless voice started again.

  "Also, you weren’t pregnant, weren’t you?

  "Miss Cheng, that was definitely a wonderful plan, I’m mighty impressed. Pretending to be pregnant to force me to marry you and then using a fake miscarriage to round up the lie, fooling not only me, but also my parents and your own parents.

  "But that’s not all. Most importantly, you managed to win over everyone’s concern and care, didn’t you? How does it feel to have everyone cherish and hold you in their palms? Did it feel nice knowing how clever you were? It must have been incredibly satisfying fooling the world around you, the sensation of being the one who pulled the wool over so many people’s eyes.

  "It must have felt great.

  "Was it great‽"

  Qin Yinan’s volume got louder as he continued his accusation; he was practically screaming near the end. Who would have thought that the man who was normally as gentle as lapping water would be so scary when he was angry?

  Cheng Qingchong shrunk into herself, and her head lowered even more. She bit on her lips and gripped her clothes tightly, not daring to breathe. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Qin Yinan’s chest rising and falling unevenly from anger. She really wanted to explain herself, but what was there to explain? He was right—it was all her fault, wasn’t it?

  Cheng Qingchong moved her lips and eventually did squeeze out, "I’m sorry."

  "I don’t need your apology." Qin Yinan was far more clear-cut than she was. "From the day I discovered everything, I haven’t yearned for your apology. If I wanted your apology, I wouldn’t have wasted so much energy to be good to you, to make you fall in love me, to hold you up to the heaven and then, when you least expected it, kick you down to hell. If I wanted your apology, do you think I would have done all that?"

  So, all those kind gesture, those good memories, they’re all just a lie…… In other words, he doesn’t really like me……

  Cheng Qingchong sat transfixed as if petrified, holding her position, completely immobile.

  Her silence made Qin Yinan weirdly annoyed and agitated.
