Chapter 737: The Truth of That Night
Towards the end, Zhuang Long felt that he was not human. He was like a fighter jet among sc.u.mbags.
Zhuang Long’s words were confusing, but Ji Yinbing understood what he meant.
She said, “Are you talking about you and Xiao Li?”
Zhuang Long pursed his lips.
He did not admit or deny it. He only asked, “What should I do?”
Ji Yinbing frowned. Without knowing what was going on, Ji Yinbing could not express her opinion. “Do you mind telling me the exact situation?”
Zhuang Long said softly, “If I tell you, you can’t tell anyone.”
“Sure.”
“Yan Nuo is not allowed to know.”
“…Okay.” Ji Yinbing was almost speechless.

Zhuang Long then said, “That’s right. I didn’t remember anything about the night we created Qilin. I always thought that Xiao Li and I were drunk and rolled around on the bed voluntarily. But I suddenly remembered something just now and realized that the situation that night might not be what I thought.”
“Huh?” Ji Yinbing p.r.i.c.ked up her ears. She valued this matter very much. “Then what’s the real situation?”
Zhuang Long’s expression was very dark. He sighed. “I remember that I seemed to have used force.”
Ji Yinbing was shocked
Her expression changed instantly.
She looked at Zhuang Long as if she was looking at a beast or a pervert. Zhuang Long saw Ji Yinbing’s reaction and was not angry. He had no right to be angry. If the truth was the same as the scene in his memory, then he was the culprit.
How could the culprit be angry!
He even started to suspect if Zhuang Qilin was a test tube baby.
If Xiao Li refused to tell him the truth about that night, then it was hard to say if this child was a test tube baby or naturally pregnant.
“You’re really a beast!” Ji Yinbing said through gritted teeth.
Zhuang Long also mocked himself. “Yeah, aren’t I a beast?”
Ji Yinbing was furious about this. If what Zhuang Long said was true, then he had been too heartless to Xiao Li all these years. Xiao Li was clearly the one who was harmed, but all the friends around thought that they had slept together voluntarily.
This was simply slander against Xiao Li!
As a woman, Ji Yinbing was furious.
Zhuang Long was not surprised by Ji Yinbing’s reaction. He tilted his head and looked at Xiao Li. Coincidentally, Xiao Li was also looking at them. Zhuang Long immediately became serious and sat upright. Xiao Li nodded at Ji Yinbing and turned around, waiting for the auction to end.
Twenty minutes later, the auction ended.
Someone went backstage to pay for something. Xiao Li also bought an oil painting. After she paid for the auction item, she walked out of the hotel with the oil painting. She walked towards the parking lot. When she was about to reach it, she saw a man squatting beside her car. Xiao Li was shocked.
In the dark environment, the person stood up tall.
He said, “Ah Li, it’s me.”
Hearing a familiar voice, Xiao Li finally suppressed her anxious heart. She walked to the front of the car, took out her car keys, and unlocked the car. She placed one hand on the roof of the car, bent down, and used the other to open the car door. Before she could open the car door, a well-defined man’s hand pressed on the back of her left hand.
Xiao Li looked up at Zhuang Long in surprise and asked him, “What are you going to do?”
Was he planning to tease her?
Xiao Li secretly observed the surroundings. If Zhuang Long really dared to offend her, she could escape immediately.
Zhuang Long’s voice sounded above Xiao Li’s head. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Xiao Li subconsciously asked, “What?”
Zhuang Long said, “Ten years ago, that night, we weren’t drunk, right?” When he asked, he stared at Xiao Li’s face. He could clearly see that Xiao Li was stunned when he finished speaking.
It was true!
He had really wronged Xiao Li!
“I forced myself on you, right?” Although he did not know why he did that, Zhuang Long was someone who dared to admit his mistake. It was his fault, so he had to admit it and was willing to compensate. He looked at Xiao Li’s slightly pale face and continued to ask softly, “Tell me honestly, this child, Qilin… is not a test tube baby, right?”
Xiao Li was not in a hurry to answer.
She looked up at Zhuang Long. She was clearly looking at him, but she seemed to be looking for traces of another person through Zhuang Long’s face. Zhuang Long did not like this gaze, and his mood became gloomy. He asked, “What are you looking for on my face?”
Xiao Li remained silent.
“Who do you think I am? Tell me!” At the thought that Xiao Li was looking for someone else’s shadow in him, he was distraught.
Xiao Li retracted her gaze and shook her head coldly.
“You’re overthinking. You’re you. Who can I find on your face?” Xiao Li removed Zhuang Long’s hand, opened the car door, and got in. Zhuang Long quickly opened the pa.s.senger door and got in. Xiao Li glanced at him impatiently and said, “Get out!”
Zhuang Long refused to leave.
“Tell me, what exactly happened that night?” He actually wanted to ask why she refused to tell him the truth and chose to take the blame.
Xiao Li’s face was cold as she said in a flat tone, “If you forced yourself on me, what would you do?” She threw the question to Zhuang Long like a ball.
Zhuang Long was stunned.
“What exactly do you want to do? You can completely tell me the truth, but you deliberately didn’t say it. All these years, I’ve wronged you. Xiao Li, what exactly do you want?” Unknowingly, Zhuang Long’s voice became hoa.r.s.e, and it sounded very weak.
“What do I want?” Xiao Li laughed. “Ha, don’t you know what I want?”
Zhuang Long was puzzled.
Xiao Li said, “I want you to love me! I gave myself up for six years. We’ve been husband and wife for six years. I hope you love me because you like me, not because you committed an atrocity on me and forced yourself to love me to atone for your sins!”
Xiao Li’s tone was not calm.
Her expression was still a little fierce. After saying this, she leaned back in her chair and trembled with excitement.
Zhuang Long was stunned by this answer.
The man beside her fell silent.
This silence lasted for a few minutes. Finally, Xiao Li heard the person beside her sigh. “Why are you so foolish?”
Xiao Li remained silent.
She would only be silly this once.
“You haven’t fallen in love with me in six years. What right do you have to make me believe that you love me now?” Xiao Li stretched out her right hand and pointed in Zhuang Long’s direction. She said, “Open the door and get out of the car. I don’t want to see you.”
After hesitating for a moment, Zhuang Long got out of the car.
The sports car drove away in front of him.
The neon lights on the street shone on Zhuang Long’s face, making his expression look interesting.
