Chapter 699 - As the Future Mrs. Pei

Reconsider on her account?

Lin Yan had just finished speaking when everyone’s attention was diverted to her.

Pei Yucheng’s eyes landed on Lin Yan before he spoke gently. “What do you mean?”

Lin Yan pondered this quietly as she tried to marshal her thoughts. “Mr. Pei, can you forgive Ling Yue?”

As she spoke, Xing Chen’s expression registered shock and disbelief.

Xing Chen had indeed sought Lin Yan’s help. However, he hadn’t thought that Lin Yan would really plead for Ling Yue, especially given the circumstances.

“Did my ears fail me?”

Xu Yao looked at Lin Yan with disdain in her eyes. “Miss, aren’t you meddling too much? You don’t know the whole story, so I think you shouldn’t plead for others without thinking.”

Regardless of whether Xu Yao gave a damn about this woman, Xing Chen had said that she was Pei Yucheng’s girlfriend. No matter what, she still had to take into account that Lin Yan was connected to Pei Yucheng. Therefore, she couldn’t be too harsh with her words.

However, Xu Yao had made her point, which was to get Lin Yan to mind her own business.

“Miss, have you misunderstood your status?” Suddenly, the young man glanced at Lin Yan and scoffed softly.

He wasn’t like Xu Yao. He was even more direct.

Xu Yao interjected and robbed Lin Yan of her turn to speak. “Even though you’re Brother Yu’s girlfriend, you have no right to interfere in our affairs.”

Lin Yan ignored both of them, as she was pleading with Pei Yucheng. She didn’t care about anything else.

She had merely tried her luck, as that was the only thing she could do for Xing Chen.

“Give me a reason.”

Pei Yucheng studied Lin Yan quietly.

“A reason?”

Lin Yan blinked in astonishment.

She was stumped by his question.

“Brother Yu, don’t blame Miss Lin. She did this because I pestered her some time ago to make her help me. That’s why Miss Lin interfered…”

Xing Chen hastily tried to explain when he realized that Lin Yan was about to be implicated.

Pei Yucheng didn’t speak. Instead, he continued to watch Lin Yan.

Lin Yan’s eyes met Xu Yao’s. At that moment, Xu Yao was staring at her with contempt and mockery in her eyes. Lin Yan knew that next to the noble Miss Rong, she looked like a clown to Xu Yao.

Flames of fury leaped inside Lin Yan as she studied Xu Yao with an ambiguous smile. Then, she turned around to face Pei Yucheng and said casually, “The reason is that, as the future Mrs. Pei, I should have the right to speak up, right?”

Xing Chen was speechless…

Xu Yao was speechless…

The future Mrs. Pei?

She was merely a dispensable female partner. What gave her the courage to speak so shamelessly?

Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Pei Yucheng’s deep eyes billowed wildly. He chuckled deeply as he gazed into the girl’s bright eyes. Slowly, he said, “This reason is sufficient.”

Xing Chen was speechless…

Xu Yao and everyone else was speechless…

Lin Yan was speechless!

Even she couldn’t quite snap back to her senses.

She had been too incensed earlier on, which was why she had blurted out something so outrageous. She had never expected Pei Yucheng to ride on her words and say that this reason was… sufficient?
