Pampering Husband And Sweet Wife
Chapter 31

Why Are You Lying to Me?

After a fight with Bai Jin, Ji grew increasingly upset, with an attitude of 'don't-come-close-to-me'.

Ai tried several times to approach him, but curled back up. Especially when he saw the dumpling 'tortured' by Ji, he was afraid to swallow secretly several times.

Perhaps Yang also felt unpleasant emotions between them and he asked Ai to teach him to cook in the kitchen.

Ji wanted to stay alone, so he didn't come in.

Yang was making a dish as he spoke in a surprised tone, "I think the stars have never experienced any problems. Youknew. They live a luxurious life and can get whatever they want easily."

"How can they always lead a happy life? They look classy in public, but miserable in private. He was very thin not because of diet. It's because he's tired of doing the work. Returning to a time when he was a nobody, he jumped into the river in freezing winter. He would have to take it again if the former was not good enough. In the end, he was injured black and blue. He got everything he had today. But, it is always risky to stay there. The higher he stood, the more people would continue to watch over him. Small mistakes can be exaggerated indefinitely. Take for example this time, Ji was caught taking pictures with Ye Chen. Do stars have no right to be friends? Did they date during their stay with a man? What if they are actually dating? Stars are also human, and have the right to date. What's the point of letting it be known across the country?"

"G ..." Which seems to really learn something, "Not everyone can be a star."

Ai looked at all kinds of dishes in front of her, frowning heavily, "Being a star is not an easy job.So does cooking."

The amused one, "Alright. I want to show you how to make a refreshing appetizer."

Sour and spicy potatoes, home-grown tofu, and fried eggs with tomatoes are all simple dishes. With the help of Yang Anxin, he had at least made some decent dishes. They don't look good but it doesn't feel too bad. There are some more difficult dishes such as boiled ribs or chicken coke wings. Ai is just a maid and especially Yang who cooks.

Although Ai had no talent in cooking, she made a good soup. The smell of white pumpkin and seaweed soup made everyone tempted.

Ai took what she made back home. He poured rice and water into the electric stove and turned on the switch.

Everything is ready. It was 11:45. You'll be home in 15 minutes.

"Fan," Ai sat beside Ji slowly, "Well..."

Ji was sitting on the sofa, in a daze. He looked at Ai, "What?"

Ai squeezed her clothes, "I have to go out for something. Can you stay home alone?"

Looking at her agitated and elusive eyes, Ji knew where she was going soon. He seems to have made his last decision. There were complex emotions in his heart. How eager he was to hold Ai's hand and tell her, “don't come out.”

But.he held back when he thought of Bai Jin. He had no choice but to lower his head to hide his regret and embarrassment. He forced a smile, "OK...Alright."

Ai clasped her hands firmly and took a deep breath, "Fan. You are the one who gave me courage. I-i know. I can't wait. Please wait here for me."

Then, Ai pressed her hand again and walked out.

He'll ask Du. Last time he was taken away by Lu. This time he arrived in front of Du's house first and found a place to hide. She guessed that Lu must have thought she was waiting for him at home. He would never wish he was in Du's house.

Sure oes. It didn't take long for him to see Lu's car passing in front of him and he didn't notice it.

He thought he would wait longer. But Du's car soon followed, just after a few seconds.

So, why didn't he see his car the last time he came? Or it could be said, he was also there on that day but did not appear.

When he did his reasoning, Du had already gotten out of the car. Ai jumped out in a hurry when she saw him, shouting, "Qin Zhan."

Du Yucheng's footsteps suddenly froze.

Ai ran towards him quickly, looking at him motionlessly with tears streaming down her eyes, "Qin Zhan...Qin Zhan's. Do you know I've been looking for you for years? I texted you. Why don't you answer? Didn't you see it? I'm worried now. I'd like to call you but I'm afraid it'll bother you ... "

"..." - ".Du Yucheng looked down. His long, curved eyelashes formed a dark shadow. Ai could not see his expression clearly as he stood against the light.

The silence made Ai's heart tremble again. He stretched out his hand, gently holding his sleeve, "Why don't you talk?"

Du's eyes followed his movements. There was no expression on his face. He could only see a hint of indifference and alienation in his long and charming eyes.

Ai felt a little pain as if a needle had pierced her heart. He tried his best to smile, saying, "Say. I already know. Calm. As long as you don't want to say it, I won't ask why." Too bad. He was not paid with Du's confession.

Du pulled his sleeve from Ai's hand. He looked ahead, past his head, "Sorry. You wrong people. I'm not Qin Zhan."

Ai's smile collapsed in one second. He looked at her, pretending to smile again, "Don't lie to me. I know it. You don't want to admit that you're complaining, do you?"

"Huh," Du sneered. His thin lips formed a sarcastic shape, "Don't you think you're really weird saying that to me? I have no complaints because I am Du Yucheng. Not what Qin Zhan is called."

"You lied. You look exactly the same as Qin Zhan. The same eyebrows. The same mouth angle. Even the same unhappy expression. I can't believe there are two identical people in this world unless they're actually the same person."

Ai looked at him firmly, not missing his expression. He believes he is pretending. There must be something he can find.

Du avoided his sight. After a long moment of silence, he turned towards Ai, "Well. Since you said I look like him, show me the picture. Only after I see it can I make sure that you are telling the truth. And we can find out if there are two people who look exactly the same in this world."

"This ..." Ai freezes. Because he can't. He had no photos of Qin Zhan at all.

He asked for a photo of Qin Zhan earlier. He said he didn't like taking photos and he didn't have any. He took many pictures of the two of them while dating her. But he finds they were all wiped out by him when they return. He asked why. He said they weren't very good so he deleted them. He was angry about it for a long time.

But, he did not have a photo of Qin Zhan. There aren't. Du narrowed his eyes, looking at him coldly, "You can't? So I won't believe you. I don't know what it's for, maybe you're lying."

"I never lied to you. I don't have a picture of him. But I'll never forget what he's like. Because only memories last forever. Keeping one person in your heart can prevent them from fading. You are the one who never fades in my heart." Ai looked at Du stubbornly. Then he walked closer to Du, on his tiptoes as if he had discovered a secret. He whispered near her ear, "I am now beginning to believe that you are Qin Zhan. Otherwise, how do you know I don't have his picture. I caught you."

Du's brows trembled without feeling. His thin lips were tightly clenched. Ai was like a child stealing candy, winking at Du mischievously, "Never underestimate how smart women are. Sometimes we don't expose and that doesn't mean we don't know. Qin Zhan's. I finally got you."

Du looked down. There was a storm coming in his eyes. But he is good at defending and does not immediately lose his patience. He circled around Ai, walking forward with a grim face. He said coldly, "I told you. You're wrong."

Obviously, he didn't want to talk.

Ai lost her patience. Why did he still refuse to admit it to this point?’

He said anxiously behind her, "If you're not her, why did you drink so much yesterday? And why are you unhappy? Fan told me. Obviously you care about that. I believe my feelings. You are Qin Zhan ."

Du did not stop walking as if he did not hear it. Ai rushed up to him and clasped his arm again, "I just want a replay. Was it hard?" Du did not say a word.

"How can I keep waiting if you don't say anything? Do you know how I survived those days? I suffer every day. How I wish you could take me away." Ai started sobbing while talking. His sadness. He can't understand.

Du Yucheng closed his eyes. He finally pulled his hand from his clothes and threw it, "I've told you before. I'm not Qin Zhan. You're wrong."

He did not want to admit it even now. Ai was desperate, "Why are you lying to me? Do you dare to say it again while looking me in the eye? Tell me you're not Qin Zhan. Tell me you never loved me. I want you to say it while looking me in the eye. Du Yucheng, dare or not?
