Chapter 268 –  Could it be that Song Tingshen wanted to express that he loves her a little bit more than she loves him? (3)

He didn’t want his trust in Ruan Xia to be a joke. Even more than that, he didn’t want her to lie to his face. In other words, if she did have a relationship with Qin Yu, he hoped that she would tell him the truth instead of hiding it. Sometimes, lies were sweeter than truth, but he didn’t want such sweetness.

After going through all of the materials and information, he verified that Qin Yu and Ruan Xia didn’t have any common friends or acquaintances. She had said she didn’t know Qin Yu before interviewing at his company, and the facts checked out. She had never met him before that.

Song Tingshen bent his fingers and tapped them on his desk. So the question was, how did Qin Yu find out about the information that he had told him? There really was a mole on the left side of Ruan Xia’s waist and a scar behind her ear.

The most important thing was that when Qin Yu had said those things that night, it didn’t seem as if he was lying. Song Tingshen could determine that point. He was baffled. Regardless, the outcome of the investigation was a good thing. At the very least, there really was nothing between Ruan Xia and Qin Yu. This made him happy from the bottom of his heart.

Still, Qin Yu was a dangerous person.

As a man, Song Tingshen could feel that Qin Yu was different from Duan Chi. Although both men coveted Ruan Xia, Duan Chi was still a person with a bottom line. He had weaknesses, and there were also people who could control and stop him, so it was easy to get Duan Chi to stop. Qin Yu was different. The scope of his plan was huge the moment he invited Ruan Xia for an interview at his company. What he did seemed soft, but in reality, he didn’t have a bottom-line. Just like this time.

Frankly speaking, Song Tingshen was feeling quite irritable. He wasn’t as calm as he seemed. If only he was still in his early 20’s, then he would have the reason and excuse to do what he wanted. For example, beat Qin Yu until he couldn’t take care of himself and had to lie in a hospital bed for a month or two.

But, he couldn’t do that. He was in his 30’s. He couldn’t be immature. He didn’t want Ruan Xia to think he was juvenile.

Song Tingshen hadn’t been surreptitiously in his investigation, so Qin Yu soon heard news of this. A few of his friends even asked him if he had a conflict with Song Tingshen. Otherwise, why would that other party cause such a big disturbance to investigate him. Qin Yu only smiled and didn’t answer.

Song Tingshen had taken what he said on Friday night seriously. Moreover, he minded a lot.

He was a man and naturally knew what bothered men the most. Even if there was nothing between Song Tingshen and Ruan Xia, a man couldn’t bear for his wife to have an affair. Moreover, he could tell that Song Tingshen liked Ruan Xia. With feelings, it was even more difficult for Song Tingshen to face the issue rationally.

Qin Yu knew that he had successfully planted the seed of doubt between Song Tingshen and Ruan Xia. Even if Song Tingshen didn’t find anything in his investigation, so what? He had already started to doubt Ruan Xia, which meant he had achieved his goal.

Suspicion was the most fatal thing to a relationship.

Qin Yu took out the ring box from the drawer, opened it, and faintly smiled.

Perhaps, he didn’t even have to do anything else or just fan the flames a bit more, and these two people would separate. Their relationship might be truly fragile to the point that it couldn’t stand a single blow.

When the time came, he would appear in front of her in the role of a protector just like in their past life. He would let her see that he was the only one that truly loves her in this world.
