Chapitre 173

Chu Zhen thought for a moment before saying, "I think it's better to let it go. As the saying goes, even an upright official can't settle family disputes. Let them handle their own affairs. If I interfere without knowing anything, it will probably only make things worse, and Le Yan will be unhappy."

Beitang Yujian sighed: "Whatever you decide, my lord."

Chu Zhen picked up her teacup: "Let's have a few more cups, ah, speaking of which... it's really hot here."

He adjusted his collar and then gently fanned himself in front of him.

"I must tell him that the person I love is him, not you!" Tang Leyan shouted. She turned and walked towards the door.

She brushed past Chu Gexing. She reached out and grabbed the doorknob.

Chu Gexing reached out and placed his hand on hers.

"Let go!" She flung his hand away.

Chu Gexing looked at her and said, "Don't go."

Tang Leyan turned around: "Oh? What gives you the right to say that to me?"

Chu Gexing's heart skipped a beat. His mouth was dry as he said, "You...you're useless."

Tang Leyan sneered: "Useless? How do you know if it works if you haven't tried? I think you're just feeling guilty. If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place!"

Chu Gexing felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at her cold smile. He had always had a problem: when he got nervous, he was prone to saying things carelessly, and the more serious he became, the less he could react. Looking at her, he knew that she was determined to confront him this time. Although he didn't know what the consequences would be, it was a scene he didn't want to see. He couldn't help but say, "I'm not guilty. What am I guilty about?"

Seeing that he kept repeating himself, clearly lacking confidence, Tang Leyan felt even more resentful and said angrily, "Let go!"

"I won't let go." Chu Gexing said blankly, his heart pounding as if he were facing a life-or-death moment.

Tang Leyan reached out to pry his hand away: "You're not doing anything useful!"

"No." He felt his hands begin to tremble, becoming somewhat unresponsive. He didn't know what to say, and his mind went blank.

"You're so annoying, let go of me!" she shouted hoarsely, her voice giving him a headache.

In her daze, her head felt like it was about to split open. Chu Gexing, watching her writhing, suddenly pulled her back, held her tightly in his arms, and whispered, "You're mine. I won't let you go to him... We... we already said that your first time would be with me. Would you tell Chu Zhen that too? What do you think he'll think of you? He'll think you're so lewd and shameless, won't he? Useless Leyan, let me tell you, he's already decided in his heart that you're mine. He won't steal my woman. That's incest. Just give up!"

He spoke quickly, whispering in her ear.

Every word reached Tang Leyan's ears, and she was terrified.

He was stunned.

That's utter nonsense.

Despicable and shameless.

The most despicable tricks, the most offensive words, the words that most angered her—all these words, which he hadn't even thought about before uttering them, were spoken in an instant.

Why?

Were they forced into it?

Even if I'm forced to, I can't just say these things; they're so unpleasant to hear.

But I just had to say it.

All for one purpose.

Don't let her leave.

For a moment he was a little dumbfounded, but so be it.

Chu Gexing thought vaguely, at least: she's not moving now.

She's not leaving, so whatever the consequences, just don't go out that door, as long as she's still here for now.

But why would someone make such a basic mistake?

Why would someone say such vulgar and tasteless things?

He didn't know.

have no idea.

It was just that I said it willingly, involuntarily, without any warning.

He would say whatever was harsh or hurtful to her, whatever could move or intimidate her.

"you……"

Tang Leyan was held tightly in his arms, too angry to speak.

"Chu Gexing!" Just uttering this name felt like tearing him apart piece by piece.

"Don't go," he said finally.

Tang Leyan reached out and pushed his chest.

Chu Gexing shouted, "I won't let you leave!"

Tang Leyan was furious and struggled desperately, yelling, "Let me go! Shameless! Despicable! Scoundrel!"

Chu Gexing was lost and confused when he suddenly heard light footsteps and the sound of people talking.

He was startled, but quickly recovered from his stiffness.

"You...you really want to go find Uncle Zhen?" he asked. He spoke fluently, his mind racing in an instant.

"Yes, I'm going to find him!" Tang Leyan answered loudly, punching him in the chest.

"You'd rather say those things about me for his sake?" he asked.

“Yes, you’re despicable and vile! You’re vile!” she shouted.

"You abandoned me for him?" he asked again, his voice heavy and his gaze cool as water.

"I'm giving up on you. I don't like you at all. I've said it before, the person I like is Chu Zhen, Chu Zhen, Chu Zhen!!! Do you hear me clearly?!" She had been driven crazy by him and involuntarily followed his lead, her voice getting louder and louder, making his heart ache, but her gaze became even more determined.

Tang Leyan suddenly fell silent.

She looked at the person in front of her and suddenly felt a little scared.

Why is he so calm...?

Why……

The surroundings were completely silent.

It was as if only the two of them existed between heaven and earth.

She felt a sudden, inexplicable fear, turned around quickly, and went to pull the door open.

Strangely, Chu Gexing did not stop him.

But in the midst of this deathly silence, she pulled open the door with a creaking, heavy sound.

Tang Leyan looked up in shock and stopped abruptly.

Right at the doorway, there stood a person with his hands behind his back, his back straight as a bamboo shoot, slowly turning his head to look over.

You Were Born Before I Was Born Chapter 226 The Truth Revealed

The cold night wind blew by, its chill penetrating to the bone.

For a moment, the world fell silent.

A person was standing by the door, slowly turning their head to look at them.

Tang Leyan couldn't help but take a step back, leaning against Chu Gexing's body behind her.

She took a step forward, but her legs felt numb.

Chu Gexing reached out and put his hand on her shoulder.

She would rather fall directly to the ground.

Chu Zhen stared at her, his expression... so strange.

How long has he been here? How long has he been listening? What is he thinking? What should I do? — Tang Leyan thought.

She had just said she wanted to leave and tell Chu the truth, all out of sheer impulse, without considering the consequences. Now he was suddenly right in front of her, and judging from his expression, he had clearly heard her words, but she had no idea how to react.

Next to Chu Zhen was Beitang Yujian.

His eyes were full of pity as he looked at her.

Tang Leyan glanced at him aimlessly, then looked at Chu Zhen.

"Uncle Zhen... Uncle Zhen," she called out in a trembling voice.

Chu Zhen stared at her without saying a word.

"Uncle Zhen." She called out again, finally breaking free from Chu Gexing and taking a step towards the door.

Chu Zhen took a step back.

Tang Leyan's eyes widened, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Chu Zhen slowly turned her head.

Then he said, "I suddenly remembered that there are still many official matters to be completed tonight, so I'll take my leave first." His voice was faint, as if he were reciting a memorized text.

He strode forward, walking quickly. But he went the wrong way and headed towards the inner hall instead.

Beitang Yujian called out "My lord!" and glanced at the two men before hurriedly chasing after them.

"Why are you stopping me?" Chu Zhen was pulled back by him. She looked at him blankly.

Beitang Yujian sighed and said, "My lord, this way."

"Oh," Chu Zhen replied. He then turned and walked outside.

Tang Leyan watched his figure disappear into the faint twilight, stunned for a long time before stepping out the door, wanting to catch up with him. As she moved, she suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, reaching out to steady herself on the door. But she couldn't find it; everything went black, and she slowly collapsed to the ground.

Chu Gexing stepped forward and embraced her around the waist. Noticing her weak breath, he was startled. He quickly reached out and placed his palm against her back, continuously channeling his inner energy into her body to protect her heart.

Tang Leyan opened her eyes groggily and immediately saw the hand that Chu Gexing was holding her with. Enraged, she reached out and shoved him on the shoulder, knocking him to the side.

She lost her support and collapsed to the ground. Just then, Shi Shu and Chu Ge Xun rushed over, one helping Tang Le Yan up and the other helping Chu Ge Xing up.

"What's wrong, young master? Young master... why is this happening all of a sudden?" Shi Shu asked in a panic.

Chu Gexun yelled at Tang Leyan, "Why did you hit my brother? You're really asking for trouble. You..."

Seeing that he was talking like this without even asking what happened, Shi Shu couldn't help but get angry and said, "Why are you talking about my young master like that?"

Chu Gexun was also furious: "She hit my brother, can't I say anything about her?"
