After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 899 - 463: _3

It was only now that she understood she liked this man.

After the woman sauntered away, Jiang Bei spoke coldly.

"What do you want with me?"

"Why are you avoiding me?"

Lu He did not answer but questioned Jiang Bei instead.

Jiang Bei elegantly lit a cigarette, glancing at Lu He, "We don’t have any relationship, avoiding suspicion is for the best."

Lu He’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this, "What do you mean by no relationship?"

"You know that I’ve never been one to be bound by others. I don’t want my affairs to be complicated by emotions."

The man’s words extinguished the flutter and fantasies in Lu He’s heart.

Haha, turns out it was always just her wishful thinking.

She recalled the touch from the day of her fever and realized she was a fool for believing that the one who kissed her was Jiang Bei.

"I know, I will move out in a few days. I won’t disturb you."

Her eyes turned red, her mouth bitter as if she had tasted yellow bile, unable to speak.

Meanwhile, Jiang Bei silently observed everything, feeling a slight pain in his heart.

"No need, I’ll leave instead."

"I don’t want that!"

Lu He loudly retorted, shocking Jiang Bei with her reaction.

"I don’t want your pity. What do you take me for? A dog you play with when you like and discard when you don’t!"

Lu He was hysterical, venting all her grievances and unwillingness.

"If you don’t like me, why do you keep provoking me?"

As Lu He spoke, tears covered her small face.

She knew Jiang Bei did not like her.

But her heart held a glimmer of hope that if he just liked her a little bit, just a tiny bit would be enough.

Yet the man did not pity her; instead, he forcefully pushed her away.

Jiang Bei irritably crushed the cigarette butt, his gaze indifferent.

"I only have responsibility towards you, not feelings. Do you understand now?"

Jiang Bei needed to suppress his emotions; he had never been one to be manipulated by them.

He believed that as long as he withdrew his emotions, things would return to how they were.

Lu He’s face turned pale upon hearing this.

She never imagined Jiang Bei felt only responsibility towards her.

Then what was all her affection worth?

Lu He turned and fled tearfully.

Standing at the door, a woman watching the scene chuckled.

Haha—she always wondered how Jiang Bei could like someone like her.

So it was just her wishful thinking.

The woman approached him in the office flattering.

"Jiang Bei, I..."

"Get out of here!"

Jiang Bei’s words instantly sent the woman from heaven to hell.

"What?"

"I said get out of here."

The man’s cold voice echoed throughout the office, leaving the woman astounded.

"Jiang Bei, is it that woman upsetting you? You’ve still got me!"

Jiang Bei violently threw the files from his desk at the woman.

The woman let out a loud cry.

She had never seen Jiang Bei so easily angered.

"I’ll go, I’ll leave now. Assistant Jiang, please don’t be mad."

The woman immediately turned and left.

Once the entire office was silent, Jiang Bei irritably shook his head.

Remembering Lu He full of tears, his heart filled with agitation.

Deep down, he told himself he made a mistake.

But what could he do?

Jiang Bei had already seen Lu He waiting for him through surveillance, and saw her come upstairs to find him.

At that time, he deliberately flirted with his secretary to ensure Lu He witnessed the scene.

He wanted Lu He to give up.

But even after doing so, why did his heart still feel hollow and empty?

Jiang Bei gazed at the sky outside, blankly recalling what had happened earlier.

Since Lu He heartbreakingly left the company, she went straight to the bustling bar on F Street.

She watched people come and go and suddenly downed a glass of alcohol.

The strong, spicy sensation rose in her throat, and the bitterness mirrored her mood.

A group of people was idly drinking, coincidentally noticing Lu He in the corner.

"Hey, this woman seems pretty good."

Just then, a blonde man looked up and wickedly smiled, "A chance to reel in the big catch."

The others teased, "I don’t believe you have the skill."

The blonde man scoffed, "Look who you’re underestimating. I’ll show you tonight."

The man boldly walked towards Lu He.

Lu He sensed someone approaching and couldn’t help but feel disgusted.

"Get lost!"

"Tsk! So cold at such a young age. Miss, are you bored? How about letting me keep you company?"
