Chapter 2591: Hard to BelieveChapter 2591: Hard to Believe
What would it make of her love, then?!
If it turned out to be a lie? Her boyfriend would surely question her about it and be disappointed in her…
In retrospect, she could not fathom what motive her friend possibly had to say such things to her.
Her eyes turned moist as feelings of confusion and helplessness washed over her. She crouched and wrapped her arms around her head in agony; at this moment, she felt that the world was bleak, colorless, and spinning around her.
The woman did not know how she should face this matter, whether to feign ignorance or end this relationship… However, after dating him for so long, she had long fallen head over heels with him. Breaking things off with him was as good as cutting off flesh from her heart, rendering it all bloody. She would only end up hurt and despondent! She would surely break down and become a living dead as if the sky had come crashing down upon her.
Still, would things be okay just because she chose to shrink away from the truth?

Thinking about it, there were… indeed some suspicious points about the man. For example, the unfamiliar perfume scent in his car, a strand of long hair at his shirt’s collar, and a bouquet of flowers lying in the back seat…
Clues seemed to have been lying about everywhere!
What should I do, though…
How am I supposed to deal with this?
Just as she was feeling utterly lost, she heard a familiar voice from behind.
“Xue?”
Startled, she whipped her head around blankly to see Gao Nan standing behind her. He must have just reached home since his car was parked next to hers.
“Why are you squatting here?” asked the man.
She stood up awkwardly with her eyes red, feeling uneasy for she did not know how she should face him. “W-Why are you back so early? Didn’t you say that you have to settle something at your office?”
“Yeah, I’ve settled it,” he replied as he sized her up.
The man was no fool. As soon as he found out that his girlfriend was going to meet her bestie, he knew what the other would say to her, so he was unsurprised to see this unusual reaction from her!
His lips formed into a smile at the thought of that. “What are you doing here, though? It’s getting late; should I take you home?”
“Gao Nan…” The lady clenched her fists repeatedly as she mustered up her courage to ask, “Can we talk?”
“What is it about?”
“I have something to ask you.” She took a step closer to him and met his gaze squarely with a serious look. “It won’t take long, so can you spare me a moment?”

“…Okay.”
Thus, she followed him into his house.
While she sat waiting in the living room, the man brewed her a cup of tea and brought it to her. He then picked up an apple from the table and asked patiently, “Do you want an apple? I can peel it for you.”
“Sure…” The woman smiled somewhat bitterly at him.
He, thus, sat by her side and started slowly peeling its skin.
As he did so, Xiao Xue could not stop staring at him; she turned away when her heart skipped a beat at the sight of him.
D*mn it… This isn’t going well.
At this rate, I’m going to melt in his gentleness again.
It was better to make things clear once and for all!
At the thought of this, she plucked up her courage once more to face him. Just when he was about to pass the peeled apple to her, she grabbed his wrist and asked with feigned calmness, “Where were you last night?”
