Chapter 1222: Questioning
"That's true, but who knows what other schemes Donna might be plotting?" Xiao Mingyang said slowly, while tidying Lin Yuqing's long hair. "We must be wary of the thoughts of bad people, and we can't treat them like ordinary people."
"Seemingly ordinary actions often conceal shocking conspiracies. We've encountered such cases before, haven't we?"
Seemingly finding Xiao Mingyang's words more reasonable, Lin Yuqing paused for a moment before saying, "Assuming this condition holds true, would Zhang Kaifeng be able to treat me that way? I'm only doing this for his own good!"
What you see as honey is poison to Zhang Kaifeng. Can you understand that?
Lin Yuqing was taken aback, and murmured, "My concern is poison? Shouldn't I be concerned about Zhang Kaifeng?"
"It's not that you shouldn't care about him, but you're caring about him in the wrong place, which only makes Zhang Kaifeng feel resistant and upset."
Lin Yuqing found this statement hard to understand and said with a laugh, "Would Zhang Kaifeng be that sensitive? If he's uncomfortable, he can just say so. It's not a big deal!"
Good heavens, I'm truly defeated by Lin Yuqing!
Xiao Mingyang felt that it would be difficult to persuade Lin Yuqing. Since she couldn't understand, he might as well let her remain confused. Letting her and Zhang Kaifeng get so close would not benefit him.
Thinking this to himself, Xiao Mingyang sat up straight, pulled Lin Yuqing into his arms, and nuzzled her head with his chin. His voice was muffled as he said, "He's been in a bad mood lately. You're just unlucky; you stepped on his landmine and got caught in the crossfire. Alright, stop worrying about other men. Your husband is sitting right next to you. You don't think he's a magnanimous guy, do you?"
Lin Yuqing didn't want Xiao Mingyang to change the subject, so she grabbed his collar and tried to sit up. But Xiao Mingyang used his waist to push Lin Yuqing back onto the cushion and said, "I finally had a romantic moment, and you've already ruined the first half. Now it's time to start the second half, and you're not allowed to spoil the mood again!"
"But I still... mmm!"
Before Lin Yuqing could finish speaking, Xiao Mingyang swallowed his words, and soon after, Lin Yuqing forgot what she wanted to say...
at the same time--
Donna was reading in her room when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps. Her mind went blank, and the door was kicked open in an instant.
"what--"
Donna screamed, clutching her head. Before she could even process what was happening, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and then she was lifted up, her nose pressed against another person's, their breath spraying onto her cheek.
Looking at the handsome face so close to hers, Donna turned pale and asked tremblingly, "Kaifeng, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong!" Zhang Kaifeng sneered, then ripped open Donna's sleeve with a tearing sound, and Donna's slender arm was exposed to the air.
"Ah!" Donna was terrified and tried to protect her arm, but Zhang Kaifeng violently separated them, grabbed her arm, and placed it in front of Donna's eyes, his voice chilling.
What happened to your arm?
Donna's eyes darted around nervously, not daring to look at Zhang Kaifeng, and she murmured softly, "I...I don't want to say."
Zhang Kaifeng's gaze was like that of someone staring at a dead man, sending chills down one's spine. He said, "Why won't you speak? Are you feeling guilty?"
Biting her lip, Donna looked aggrieved, then suddenly raised her head and said stubbornly, "I was beaten up, why should I feel guilty! I was just afraid you would worry and blame yourself! But now it seems that I was just overthinking it! Fine, if you want to know the truth, then I'll tell you!"
“That day, after I left your office, I went back to my apartment by myself. On the way, I encountered some thugs who tried to take advantage of me. I refused, and we struggled for a long time before I finally managed to leave! I was terrified and desperately hoped that you would come to find me, but in the end, I limped back to my apartment!”
"Zhang Kaifeng, if something really happens to me that day, will you feel sorry for me?"
Looking at Donna's red, tear-filled eyes, Zhang Kaifeng scrutinized her and asked, "I'll have someone investigate this. If you're lying, I will..."
"What if what I'm saying is true!" Donna interrupted Zhang Kaifeng for the first time, pressing him, "If what I'm saying is true, will you make up for your rudeness today?"
As she spoke, Donna gestured to the clothes that Zhang Kaifeng had removed, and the pink underwear that was now exposed because of his pulling, all of which exuded an ambiguous atmosphere.
Silently letting go, Zhang Kaifeng said in a low voice, "If I have misunderstood you, I will apologize to you."
"I don't want your apology. I just want you to have a proper meal with me, without any cold words or neglect, just you and me, even if it's just a simple meal, okay?"
Donna's humble plea made Zhang Kaifeng momentarily unsure of his resolve. But this thought was fleeting. Zhang Kaifeng turned his head and said coldly, "But I warned you not to go to Lin Yuqing. Did you take my words as a joke?"
Seeing that her attempt to appear weak had no effect, Donna snorted inwardly, then turned her head away and continued to feign weakness, saying, "Of course I'd be scared if something like that happened, and you don't have time to listen to my rambling. I don't dare tell my family, I'm afraid they'll... But, the only person I can turn to is Yuqing. She's my only friend here, and if I can't even tell her, I'll be suffocating!"
On the surface, Donna's excuse seemed plausible, but based on his intuition, Zhang Kaifeng frowned and asked, "Was it just chatting? You didn't hint at anything else?"
If Donna hadn't interfered, how could Lin Yuqing have mistakenly believed she had hurt Donna? Is this woman's word reliable at all?
Donna pretended not to see the hesitation in Zhang Kaifeng's eyes and explained, "I was afraid that telling Yuqing the truth would affect your image in her eyes, so I didn't say anything. But I still accidentally let Yuqing find my injury, and she asked me how I got it. I didn't want to say, so she guessed that you hit me."
"How could someone as gentlemanly as you do something so rude? I denied it at the time. But whether Yuqing believed me, I don't know. What happened?"
Looking into Donna's clear eyes, Zhang Kaifeng said in an icy voice, "I order you to go find Yuqing tomorrow and explain this matter clearly!"
Donna's eyes widened. "Can this kind of thing be explained clearly? Yuqing might think you used violence to force me into submission, which would only make things worse! Kaifeng, if you ask me, if Yuqing misunderstands, we should calm down first and explain properly when the time is right. Besides..."
