Han Mubai’s expression was cold and piercing as he locked his eyes on Yuan Shuangrui. “Do you think I will believe you?”
Yuan Shuangrui’s rationality and thoughts were all in a mess now. Everything had gone off track from her plan. At this stage, she was only thinking of how to appease Han Mubai’s anger and how she could cover this up.
“Also, I said it just now. Don’t call me Mubai.” After saying that, Han Mubai’s grip on her arms tightened even more, almost breaking her bones before he let go of her.
Without hesitation, he threw her on the floor.
Yuan Shuangrui’s bathrobe loosened, causing her to fall on the floor naked. The coldness of the floor made her shudder violently.
“Mu… Han Mubai, I… I’m sorry. I didn’t do anything. Really. Please trust me.” Yuan Shuangrui knew how to act as well. Once she had calmed down, she began to think of ways to deal with the situation.
However, even when she put on a pitiful look now, Han Mubai would not give a d.a.m.n. He had his limits for pampering and being gentle to women. His limit was that he could not accept how others tried to plot against him.
Han Mubai sat upright and tore off a piece of the bedsheet. He used it to bandage the wound on his arm before picking up his s.h.i.+rt and putting it on gracefully. He then stared down at Yuan Shuangrui and said, “Say it. Were you the one who spiked the food?”
Yuan Shuangrui stared at Han Mubai pitifully and bit on her lower lip, shaking her head hard as she said, “Trust me, I didn’t.”
Han Mubai stared hard at Yuan Shuangrui. She was a reputable lady from a n.o.ble family and used to have no imperfections. She had always been perfect in front of everyone and never had such a moment like this.
Perhaps even he would not have thought that Yuan Shuangrui would do such a thing.
Yuan Shuangrui felt aggrieved and upset at the same time. Even though she was naked at this moment, she believed her body was also very alluring.
However, she saw in Han Mubai’s eyes that there was only calm. There was not a single hint of temptation.
Yuan Shuangrui bit hard on her tongue and started to sob softly. She was pretty to begin with, so she looked innocent and beautiful when she cried like that. It could easily soften a person’s heart.
However, Han Mubai was not moved by this. After a moment, he closed his eyes for a while and said, “Yuan Shuangrui, the Han family and the Yuan family had already agreed on the engagement. If nothing else happens, you will be my wife. Why must you do this?”
Yuan Shuangrui knew that no matter whether she admitted or denied it, anything that she would say at this point would not be able to cover up what she did.
She stopped crying as well and said, “You said if nothing happens as well. An engagement is not a marriage. I only did it because I love you and want to marry you.”
“Love? Yuan Shuangrui, don’t you think love is a luxury to people like us?”
“Han Mubai, you don’t believe in love, but I really love you.”
“Yuan Shuangrui, if I wasn’t the heir to the Han family, would you still love me?”
Yuan Shuangrui could not answer him. She fell silent. If Han Mubai was just an average person, would she like him?
The answer was definite. She would not.
In this society, she would only be willing to like and love a person because of material interests and the person’s status. To be honest, her love was very superficial.
“See? Yuan Shuangrui, you know the answer yourself. Why do you need to question me?”
“Mubai, I really did it because I love you. Just take it that nothing happened today, alright? I will be a good wife to you and try my best to do everything well.”
Actually, Yuan Shuangrui was still a woman after all. No matter how cold-blooded her methods were, when it came to love, her heart was fragile as well.
