Chapter 431 In the Dark

"No, it's not like that," Xia Wanqing kept explaining. Her gaze fell on Ji Wenyun, and she even wanted to grab his hand, saying excitedly, "No, things aren't like this."

"Those, those were all fabricated by someone to frame me."

"I never did such things."

Xia Wanqing seemed to be talking to herself. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she immediately exclaimed, "It's, it's An Nuan. An Nuan must have done all of this."

"An Nuan did this to ruin me."

"Now she has Nangong Jin by her side, so it must be Nangong Jin helping her. Otherwise, how could these images be playing here?"

"With Nangong Jin's help, it would be a simple matter for An Nuan to create those videos to frame me."

Xia Wanqing could no longer afford to care about anything else. She directly rushed to Ji Wenyun, tightly gripping his hand, and said earnestly, "Ji Wenyun, you have to believe me, I really didn't do those things."

She looked at Ji Wenyun with anticipation, as if waiting for his reply, but Ji Wenyun did not respond.

At this moment, Xia Wanqing's heart was already in a panic.

She was wondering what she should say for Ji Wenyun to believe her.

She had already said everything she could.

At this point, she wanted to shout at Ji Wenyun, but in the end, she gave up.

She could only humble herself, lower her head, and say softly to Ji Wenyun, "Ji Wenyun, is the affection of these years so unbearable to be slandered? You told me back then that no matter what happened, your feelings for me would never change. But now, because of an unimportant person, someone bought by An Nuan, you doubt me and completely disbelieve my words."

"Ji Wenyun, is this the so-called love you have for me?"

When Xia Wanqing reached out to embrace Ji Wenyun, she found that Ji Wenyun directly avoided her, not even willing to give her an extra glance.

Her hand hung in the air, and for a long time, she couldn't speak.

When Xia Wanqing looked up and met Ji Wenyun's cold, bloodthirsty gaze, she was extremely scared. At this moment, she even felt that Ji Wenyun's gaze could take her life.

She wanted to escape from here at this moment.

However, Ji Wenyun directly stepped on her hand, lowered his head, and his gaze fell on Xia Wanqing. He looked at her as if she were something disgusting and loathsome. After a long while, he curved his lips and said coldly, "Xia Wanqing, you are truly filthy."

"Oh, right, you just said that all of this was orchestrated by An Nuan, didn't you?"

Xia Wanqing was bewildered, her mind full of confusion. She couldn't understand why Ji Wenyun would say such a thing at this moment. Did he know something?

No, impossible. No one knew about those things anymore. Even Xu Ruowei wouldn't know.

And those things were done by Yang Ren. To get Yang Ren to do those things, she had even sold herself. Yang Ren had also promised her that he wouldn't say a word, even if it cost him his life. And she thought that since Yang Ren had benefited so much from her, he would naturally not reveal those things.

She kept telling herself that Yang Ren wouldn't reveal those things.

But later, she could no longer find any convincing words.

She even held onto some hope. At this moment, what Ji Wenyun said next completely shattered all her fantasies.

"Xia Wanqing, these things were arranged by someone."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Xia Wanqing's face. She really hadn't expected that she had stumbled upon the truth. Someone was indeed planning something.

At this moment, she prayed in her heart, hoping it was An Nuan's plan.

But later, she realized it wasn't. She had been thinking too much.

Xia Wanqing said excitedly, "Wenyun, I knew you would believe me."

Xia Wanqing wanted to step forward and take Ji Wenyun's arm, but Ji Wenyun directly avoided her. He said coldly, "Xia Wanqing, but you got one thing wrong."

"Got it wrong?" Xia Wanqing asked, a little confused. She couldn't understand why Ji Wenyun was so cold.

"Yes, I designed everything. It has nothing to do with An Nuan."

"Moreover, An Nuan was completely unaware of what happened here."

Xia Wanqing's face turned pale. She couldn't believe that the man who had always loved her could now treat her so coldly. And that all of this was his design.

How could Xia Wanqing accept all of this?

She would rather believe that all of this was designed by An Nuan, framed by Nangong Jin, but she never expected that it was all designed by Ji Wenyun.

She found this truth almost unbearable.

Her face was full of disbelief. Shaking her head, she pleaded, "Wenyun, I don't know what you've learned to treat me like this."

"But I really didn't do those things."

"You know, An Nuan has always wanted to harm me, always wanted to snatch you away from me."

"Wenyun, have you forgotten? How An Nuan framed me back then. It was you who stood up for me. It was you who protected me. Even more, it was you who directly pushed An Nuan away and held me in your arms. Have you forgotten all those things?"

"Wenyun, have you forgotten everything that happened before?"

Xia Wanqing said pitifully, looking as if she were about to cry.

Normally, if Ji Wenyun saw her like this, he would surely comfort her. But the current Ji Wenyun only looked at her with bloodthirsty eyes, eyes that seemed to want to tear her apart.

Xia Wanqing had prepared many things to say, to explain herself.

But later?

Ji Wenyun's expression made her realize that saying so much was completely useless.

"Heh, Ji Wenyun, even if you know my true face now, what of it?"

"Even if you want to win An Nuan back now, do you think An Nuan will forgive you?"

"Back then, you did quite a few things for me. You almost killed An Nuan."

"All these events are vivid in memory, have you really forgotten them?"

Xia Wanqing said loudly, her face filled with a triumphant smile.

Ji Wenyun's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty glint, his face grim, his fists clenched tightly.

"Xia Wanqing, I have investigated all that you said clearly. I even know that you sold yourself to frame An Nuan."

"Xia Wanqing, I know everything now. Just because I don't speak of some things now doesn't mean I don't know anything. It's just that those things aren't even worth mentioning."

Ji Wenyun knew everything, and she was still kept in the dark.
