After rejecting my celebrity husband novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Chapter 229: One Hundred Thousand and Two Million [5]

Luo Xiaoqian was still amidst tension; she had wanted to guess some clues from Leng Zimo’s expression, but his calmness was completely unexpected.

Biting her lip, her fingers twisted the bedsheet as she finally spoke up.

"That scandal... it’s not true. I just went to get the photos. When I left the hotel that day, the photos fell, and by chance, he picked them up!"

The whole affair sounded too coincidental, as if it were made up.

Luo Xiaoqian stole a glance at Leng Zimo; he was still calm, seemingly not doubting her, as if waiting for her to continue.

"Afterward, he said he wanted to return the photos to me, so I went. Then, I accidentally fell, and he helped me up." She looked earnestly at Leng Zimo, "Do you believe me?"

"Believe!" Leng Zimo uttered crisply.

He believes her?

Just like that, he believes her?!

Luo Xiaoqian’s eyes widened in surprise.

"However..." A hint of irritation rose in Leng Zimo’s eyes, "what about the meal you owe him?"

"Because he paid for the meal that day, I wanted to give him the money, but he absolutely refused to take it, so..." Xiaoqian’s voice trembled slightly with the anger in his tone, "I just don’t want to casually owe someone a favor!"

She said Jiao Yang was someone else; she didn’t want to owe him any favor.

"Right!"

Leng Zimo nodded, the anger vanishing from his eyes, and even a smile forming at the corner of his lips.

He was smiling!

He seemed to be in a good mood, so she might as well come clean. She really didn’t want to lie anymore.

A sense of relief washed over Luo Xiaoqian, yet recalling what was to come, she couldn’t help but clench the corner of the blanket tighter.

"There’s... there’s something else, not one, but two things. Can you... can you not get angry?"
