Chapter 1019: Straight to the Point

Li Yuanhang arrived at the reserved room of the restaurant. He sat for a while and looked at the time. Fifteen minutes had passed. The person who had agreed to meet him had yet to arrive. He could not help but frown, slightly displeased.

But then he thought of something and waited patiently for a while.

After waiting for half an hour, Linda finally arrived late.

Before Li Yuanhang could say anything, Linda said apologetically, “Sorry, I was late in the traffic. Sorry to have kept you waiting, Yuanhang!”

What else could Li Yuanhang say after she said that?

Li Yuanhang nodded and said, “It’s okay. Please take a seat!”

Li Yuanhang didn’t help her pull the stool away like a gentleman.

Linda, who had always been the center of attention, felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face. She put her bag away and sat down elegantly.

Then, she said half-jokingly and half-seriously, “Yuanhang, you’re actually a big shot. It’s so difficult to ask you out for dinner.”

Li Yuanhang stared at her with his sharp eyes and said sharply, “Linda, oh no, Miss Weng Jingjing, I thought you knew the reason why!”

Weng Jingjing’s expression froze, and then she said with difficulty, “But Yuanhang, it’s been more than ten years. Can’t you forgive me after more than ten years?”

Li Yuanhang stirred the coffee in his cup with a small spoon and said with a half-smile, “Yes, it’s been more than ten years since that incident. It doesn’t matter if I forgive you or not!”

“…” Linda seemed to not understand Li Yuanhang’s words. She asked directly, “Yuanhang, what do you mean?”

Li Yuanhang looked at Linda’s feigned ignorance and said with a chuckle, “Nothing much. It’s been more than ten years. We are just classmates. But ten years later, we’re even less familiar than classmates.”

After hearing this, Linda’s expression was twisted and angry for a moment, but she quickly recovered. Her stiff expression finally broke into a smile as she continued to say, “Yuanhang, aren’t you being a little too heartless by saying this?”

Li Yuanhang looked at her expression and asked seriously, “Oh, is it very heartless?”

After saying this, he paused for a moment, slightly lowered his head, and sneered, “I don’t think so. Compared to what you did ten years ago, I feel that my way of doing things is much more humane!”

This time, Linda’s expression quickly became ugly, and a thin layer of anger appeared on her face. She seemed to be unable to control her impulse to curse, but after these few years of cultivation, she endured it.

She said with a fake smile, “Yuanhang, more than ten years ago, I admitted that I did something wrong and hurt Tianhao. But that was because I was young and impetuous, and acted impulsively. Later, I also regretted it a lot.”

At this point, she paused and seemed to be a little emotional. Her voice couldn’t help but become louder. “But I definitely wouldn’t do it again.”

Li Yuanhang looked at her and sneered, “Regret? I think you regret not knowing Tianhao’s identity. So, in order to go abroad and for your future, you betrayed Tianhao and went abroad with another man.”

“Then who is to blame?!” Linda’s voice was slightly sharp as she said excitedly, “If Gong Tianhao told me his identity, would I have made such a choice? Gong Tianhao lied to me first. Why is everyone blaming me?”

If Gong Tianhao had told her his identity as the crown prince when they were dating, would she have made such a stupid choice?

Li Yuanhang said calmly, “So, you’re interested in an identity, not his heart, right?”

Linda’s expression froze, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

“But have you ever thought that for you, Gong Tianhao worked three different jobs every day? He would buy whatever you needed without hesitation.”

Speaking of this, Li Yuanhang was also a little indignant, “That time, Gong Tianhao bought you a gift with the money he earned from three months of work. When he wanted to give you a surprise, you gave him a bigger surprise. He caught you with another man. Do you know how much damage that did to Tianhao?”
