Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 477

Chapter 477: Secret ( 1 )
Thinking about her anxious expression when he told his girlfriend about his arranged marriage with Liu Hua, Huang Tingyun was convinced that his girlfriend would change her mind and would agree to marry him. If she still refused, he would have no choice but to take drastic measures.

Liu Hua, on the other hand, followed Xiao Li with a disbelief look on her face. She looked at the wrist he held and smiled. She didn’t expect that her plan to make this man jealous would be a huge success.

‘I need to thank Brother Huang properly later. I hope he will succeed as well,’ she thought.

When they reached the riverbank, Xiao Li suddenly stopped and turned around. As soon as he turned around, Liu Hua bumped into his chest and almost fell backwards. He reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her closer.

Liu Hua was embraced by him for the first time after that night. So, she felt very nervous but kept a calm face. She raised her head, looked at him and asked, “Ah Li, what are you doing?”

Seeing her looking so calm, Xiao Li became a little annoyed. She smiled so happily when talking to that man, but she always gave him this look when talking to him, as if they were strangers. Although he knew it was his fault for alienating her in the first place, he still couldn’t help but feel sour in his heart.

“Ah Hua, do you want to marry that man?” he asked.

Instead of answering his question, she asked him back, “What does it have to do with you? Since you don’t care about me, why bother asking?”

Hearing her indifferent tone, Xiao Li said anxiously, “Why does it have nothing to do with me? Who said I don’t care?”

“Ah Li, you have ignored me for so many years. In what capacity are you asking me these questions now?” she asked again.

Hearing her words, Xiao Li was at a loss for words, “I…”

After a while, he said, “Aren’t we childhood friends? I just worried about you. He doesn’t look like a good man.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Li wanted to beat himself up. Even he himself thought this was nonsense, let alone Liu Hua.

Liu Hua was disappointed when she heard these words. She pushed him gently and said, “Ah Li, I never wanted to be friends with you. Since you just treat me as friends, then you don’t have to worry about me.”

Xiao Li was startled by her words. He looked at her and asked, “Ah Hua, what do you mean?”

Seeing the panic in his eyes, Liu Hua clenched her fists. She would give them both one last chance. If he still decided to do nothing, she would give up on him and go to live with her son, leaving this place.

“Ah Li, don’t you know how I feel? How can I treat the person I love as a friend?” Liu Hua asked helplessly.

After hearing her words, Xiao Li felt his mind go blank and his heart filled with sweetness. She is good-looking, has a good family background, and is very kind. While he looks average, has no money, and no family. He never thought she would love him. He doesn’t deserve her.

She stretched out her hand, held Xiao Li’s hand, and asked, “Ah Li, don’t you have anything to tell me?”

Looking at their clasped hands, Xiao Li hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said, “Ah Hua, I love you, but… I’m not worthy of you. Not to mention that I have no money. Two years ago, I was drugged and spent the night with someone. I don’t know who it was, but I’m sure I did it with her.”

“I know I have no right to be jealous, but when I think about you marrying another man, I can’t help it. Just thinking about it will drive me crazy,” he added in a low voice.

After saying that, he turned his head away. He didn’t dare to look at the woman in front of him. He didn’t want to see the blame and disgust in her eyes. As time passed by, the light in his eyes dimmed. He was sure she would despise him and no longer want to be with him after knowing this.

Before he could think about the worst possibility, Liu Hua said, “Ah Li, I know.”

Hearing this, he turned his head sharply. He looked at her with wide eyes and asked in disbelief, “Ah Hua, you… know?”

Liu Hua nodded and said with a smile, “En, because it was me that night.”

Xiao Li felt dizzy as if he had been struck by lightning in broad daylight. He felt like he understood every word she said, but when put together, he couldn’t understand it at all.

He stood there, looking at her dazedly, and it took him ten minutes to digest the information. He looked at the woman he loved, touched her cheek, and asked, “Ah Hua, you mean, it was you that night?”

Liu Hua nodded and said, “Ah Li, it’s always been me.”

He was heartbroken when he thought about what he had done that night, and how he had woken up alone in the morning to find a blood stain on his bed.

He stroked her cheek and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me all these years? If I knew it was you, I would have married you long ago.”

Liu Hua looked into his eyes and said, “Ah Li, I am willing, and I don’t know if you have the same feelings as me. I don’t want you to marry me because of this. Unless you love me, I will not force you to get married.”

Xiao Li took her into his arms and said, “Silly girl, how could I not want to? You don’t know how much I want to marry you. I’ve liked you since we were young.”
