Chapter 62 – The sooner that he could get rid of this presumptuous woman, the better (1)

While Ye Zhen would wake up the next morning feeling refreshed because she had a restful sleep despite her exhausting day of rushing about, Ye Qing and Lin Zhan wouldn’t be getting much sleep.

Since it wouldn’t be good for her if corrected Lu Beichuan’s misunderstanding, Ye Qing could only pretend she was Ye Zhen and go to a guest room to sleep. She tossed and turned all night. She couldn’t figure out what Lu Beichuan’s intentions were.

Since she had come here, Lu Beichuan had treated her with cold indifference. He wouldn’t even allow her to sleep in the same room as him. There were many times when she speculated that Lu Beichuan was suffering from a hormonal disorder. Otherwise, how could he ignore her so easily?

But, why had he wrapped his arm around Ye Zhen’s waist then?

He had looked at her with a gentle gaze and spoken to her in a soft tone. She had never seen that side of him before.

She had done an excellent job of pretending to be Ye Zhen. Whether it was imitating her personality or her habits, there were no flaws in her acting. So, why did she feel as if Lu Beichuan treated her and Ye Zhen completely differently?

Ye Qing thought about this for a night, but she couldn’t figure it out.

Similarly, Lin Zhan, who’s room shared a wall with Ye Qing’s guest room, couldn’t fall asleep either.

Ye Qing’s words had turned his world view upside down.

The person that had written over twenty love letters wasn’t Ye Qing. The person who had worked with him at the restaurant and had gotten him to the hospital when he fainted at work also wasn’t her. And, the person, who had tirelessly taken care of his mother, definitely wasn’t her.

Those had been Lin Zhan’s most precious memories, and the reason why he had gradually fallen in love with Ye Qing. But now, he had found out it wasn’t Ye Qing in those memories. It was someone else.

He liked the elegant handwriting on those love letters and how she had shyly confessed her crush in writing. He could almost imagine her blushing face as she wrote out those letters.

He remembered how kind-hearted she had been when they were working at the restaurant together and how she had carefully taken his mother. In those precious memories, there was always a smiling face directed at him.

But now, Ye Qing had told him that he had gotten it all wrong.

The girl that had once vowed to take care of for the rest of his life was actually the girl he had been ignoring this entire time?

Some of the details that he had chosen to overlook were now clearly visible as suspicious.

For example, having Ye Zhen deliver a gift to Ye Qing.

In order to avoid the Ye parents from becoming suspicious, both sisters would go out when he had a date with Ye Qing. After their date was over, Ye Zhen would go back home with Ye Qing.

At the end, in order to help him and Ye Qing, not only had Ye Zhen come up with a plan to help them run away, she had taken Ye Qing’s place in marrying a comatose person.

He didn’t want to think how sad Ye Zhen must have felt back then when he didn’t even notice her smiling and looking at him.

Lin Zhan felt as if a knife was stabbing his heart.

She was such a kind-hearted girl, and she had been repeatedly ignored and emotionally hurt by him.

This night, he kept asking himself the same question. How could he have mistaken Ye Qing for Ye Zhen?

After Ye Zhen woke up feeling refreshed, she put on the clothes that a maid had brought over and headed to the staircase to go down. She happened to bump into Ye Qing and Lin Zhan as they were coming out of their respective rooms. They both had bloodshot eyes.

Seeing that no one from the Lu’s household around, Ye Qing didn’t wait for Ye Zhen to speak. She pulled Ye Zhen closer to her and whispered, “Let’s switch our clothes.”

Ye Qing felt that since they were identical twins and the only way people could tell apart was by their clothing, they could easily switch back their identities just by changing their clothes.

“Okay.”

Silently standing behind them, Lin Zhan’s gaze was riveted on Ye Zhen. It seemed as if there were a thousand words he wanted to say, but he didn’t know where to start. He clenched and unclenched his fists several times. At the end, he finally called out, “......Ye Zhen.”

He wanted to ask Ye Zhen if the words that Ye Qing had said yesterday was true or not.

Whether or not they were true, he wanted to hear the answer directly from Ye Zhen.

Hearing Lin Zhan’s voice, Ye Qing turned around and glared at him. She hissed, “Whatever you want say, do it after you leave here!”

Lin Zhan’s face froze. An incredulous expression spread over his face.
