Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 238 Believe me

Chapter 238 Believe me

Su Bei's eyes were wide open, her mouth agape as she saw the video played during the launch.

She felt her heart disintegrated into teeny-tiny pieces--as if something was gnawing on her heart, causing it to ache.

With the discomfort that she felt and with the video still flashing in her mind even though she just watched it once, her eyes turned glassy as tears formed in her eyes.

Seeing her best friend, Yan Mei, on top of Leng Shao, the man he dated upon Yan Mei's suggestion, how could she look at Leng Shao the same way when she already started having feelings for him?

"Su Bei."

The moment Leng Shao said her name, she snapped out of her thoughts. Her eyebrows creased as she looked at Leng Shao, almost forgetting that she was beside him all along when the video played before everyone.

With that in mind, Su Bei turned her body and started walking away. Leng Shao's eyes showed worry as he saw her retreating figure.

"Su Bei, wait!"

Leng Shao chased after Su Bei. He caught her by the wrist, and the moment Su Bei felt his hand, she shook her hand away from him and stared at him with pain plastered in her eyes.

"You like Yan Mei, don't you?"

"Su Bei..."

Leng Shao felt wronged. Yes, he had feelings towards Yan Mei, but when he went on a date with Su Bei, he realized that he could start falling for someone else, too!

With the video playing before them, Leng Shao understood why Su Bei acted this way.

But how could he convince her to believe him? He knew that the man on the video wasn't him even though he looked exactly like him.

How could Leng Shao convince Su Bei if the video looked so convincing?

"See?" Su Bei scoffed, snapping Leng Shao out of his stupor. "You couldn't even answer. You like Yan Mei."

With her walking away from him again, Leng Shao could not help but feel the fear of losing her even though they just had a date once and had only met recently.

Grabbing her by the wrist again, Leng Shao pulled her closer to him, surprising Su Bei as she landed on his chest, her hand sprawled on him as she supported her weight.

Leng Shao stared straight into her flabbergasted eyes as Su Bei furrowed her brows, not liking the position that she is in the arms of Leng Shao, the man whom her best friend fucked.

"Leng Shao, stop! Let me go!"

"No, I won't!"

His words came out strong, surprising Su Bei as his words reverberated in her ears, traveling towards her mind and heart as if convincing her to listen to him.

"The man and the woman in the video. It isn't me and Yan Mei. You know Yan Mei well. Do you think she would? With me?"

Su Bei averted her gaze from him as she noticed how handsome he was up close.

"No... I don't know," she mumbled, but it was enough for Leng Shao to hear. Her eyes then turned stern as she looked at him again, her voice harsher than before. "Now, let me go!"

As Su Bei pushed Leng Shao away, he tightened his arm around her waist. Leng Shao's eyes turned serious again, but for some reason, even though in her confusion and anger, Su Bei could not bring herself to look away.

"Su Bei, how could I convince you that it is not me and Yan Mei who's in the video? How could I convince you to believe me?"

His words were gentle. Su Bei stared into Leng Shao's desperate eyes as his words tugged her heartstrings.

But then, with the video looking like them--looking like Yan Mei and Leng Shao, how could she believe Leng Shao?

"Leng Shao," Su Bei said his name, "I'm sorry, but I can't bring myself to believe you. With the video, how could I--"

"I know," Leng Shao interrupted her, "But I want you to believe that it is not me--it is not us. Believe me. Honestly, I like Yan Mei--I did, and it was in the past. I could not bring myself to do that with her because we're friends."

Su Bei felt that Leng Shao was not lying, but deep down in her heart, she still felt hurt and discombobulated.

"Leng Shao..." Now her tone of voice is gentler than it was before. "I want to believe you... I sincerely do," she said, but now tears started escaping her eyes. "But I'm still not convinced, Leng Shao. I'm sorry..."

Now Leng Shao released Su Bei from his hold. He also felt his heart aching as he felt wronged for being thought of that he was having sex with Yan Mei.

"Su Bei..."

Leng Shao didn't know what to say. His eyes started to water as well as Su Bei locked eyes with Leng Shao, both of their hearts aching for each other.

"Leng Shao, I'm sorry... but I want to leave."

Not saying another word, Su Bei left Leng Shao alone in the vicinity. The moment he left, tears started escaping from his eyes as he watched her retreating figure getting away from him.

Leng Shao wanted to bad to convince Su Bei that it was not him in the video. Leng Shaao wanted so bad to chase after her and tell her repeatedly that it was not him.

But how? With the video looking so convincing, how could she believe him?

Leng Shao stood there as he wondered how he could feel this much for a woman he met recently. It was like Su Bei came into his life like a hurricane and had made a great impact in his life.

It was right here and then that he realized that he should do what he can to get her back even though she was not his in the beginning.

It was right here and then that Leng Shao realized that he had to convince Su Bei with all his might just for her to come back to him--just for her not to distance herself from him.

Leng Shao's fists tightened at his sides. His eyes showed determination as he gritted his teeth, curious as to who did the video--curious as to what his or her intentions are of playing such a thing right in Yan Mei's launch.

Leng Shao frowned as the words of Wang Lu echoed in his head.
