Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 146

Of course, Shu Tian was willing to believe it. If she wasn’t, she would not do this. Even if he did not return home all night, she never question him. She knew he was busy, so she didn’t want to put an additional burden on him.

But now he didn’t even have a word of explanation, how could she continue to believe him?

As if he could see what she was thinking, the man said in a deep voice, "It's not that I don't want to tell you. I haven't thought of how to tell you."

Shu Tian took a deep breath and her voice trembled uncontrollably. "Just tell me the truth."

Li Han fiercely took a drag of smoke. Maybe he choked so he suddenly coughed, which made Shu Tian's heart pull up. Seeing his brows furrowed because of uncomfortableness, Shu Tian impulsively snatched the cigarette from his hand and put it out off the top of her head. "If you're not well, don't smoke. Is that too difficult to answer my question?"

"It's not difficult." He answered quickly. His gaze fell casually in front of her, not on her. "I just don't want you to overthink."

"But now I'm worrying now." Shu Tian didn't understand why he hid it. "Did you treat me as your girlfriend?"

Hearing this, the man finally turned around and fixed his eyes on her. "To me, you are more important than a girlfriend."

"Then why weren’t you willing to tell me? Is there something that I can't know?" Shu Tian did not want to force him or be aggressive, but now it was really hard for her to control the rising speculations and doubts in her heart.

If many words were not out in the open instantly, perhaps they would never have a chance to speak.

Although she had no idea how serious the matter that Li Han covered up was, at least the thing put him through was not simple.

The man's handsome features were shrouded in the dim light, half bright and half dark. "Tian, can you give me some time? When I fix this up, I'll definitely tell you."

Shu Tian opened her mouth and closed it again and was genuinely disappointed. "What about the time? How long do you need?"

"I don't know." With these words, he seemed to find it ridiculous and snorted. "I'll do it as soon as possible."

There was a brief pause in the car, and Shu Tian didn't even know how to answer him. She wanted him to explain everything now, but... Gazing at the man's gloomy expression, she could not do that.

There was a long silence. Shu Tian's hands by her side were clenched and unclenched spasmodically. Her hesitation was even more.

In the end, she compromised.

"Well, since it's so hard for you to speak, I won't force you. Tell me when the day you want to." She made it sound so easy, but it wasn’t her real thoughts.

Li Han saw that the clarity in her eyes was replaced by distrust. He was worried but could not find any words to explain.

He nodded twice. "Okay."

A conversation ended up unhappily, and Li Han's reticence was always a disguised hurt to Shu Tian. Therefore, even the next day, she was not in the mood.

After work, Ye Lihua called her to go back for dinner. Shu Tian had not made adjustments to face Li Han, so she agreed to go over.

After dinner and sitting for a while, Ye Lihua urged her to go back because it was not early. She was afraid that it would be unsafe on the way when the night was dark.

Shu Tian had no intention of leaving. But she was afraid that Ye Lihua would overthink if she said she wanted to spend the night here. After being in the struggle for a while, she decided to leave.

She went back to the Imperial Villa by taxi. The taxi stopped at the front entrance of the villa. Looking at the three-story house in the darkness, Shu Tian's expectations were gradually dampened down.

He hadn't come home yet.
