Chapter 428: Chapter 428 Shedding the Disguise

"You... you have another woman?" Lin Mengyao didn’t know how she managed to say this complete sentence, her mind wasn’t even thinking anything, just a blank. Her voice trembled involuntarily, and the hand holding the phone kept shaking, so much that her palms became sticky with sweat, almost causing the phone to slip and fall to the floor.

Although Xu Ke hadn’t planned to hide Ariel’s existence from Lin Mengyao, he hadn’t intended to tell her about it so soon either. He wanted to give her time to accept and transition, never expecting everything to happen so unexpectedly.

"All of this is fake, right? You’re lying to me, right? How could you possibly have another woman? Am I just overthinking it?" Lin Mengyao spoke with a slight sense of hope. She relentlessly denied it to make Xu Ke cooperate with her, trying to deceive herself in this way.

But Xu Ke didn’t intend to lie to her, "Yes, I have another woman, and I have fallen for her." Xu Ke said in a low voice.

Lin Mengyao’s voice disappeared from the receiver, leaving only the sound of shallow breathing. After a long time, Lin Mengyao’s voice sounded again, she licked her lips, her eyes unknowingly reddened.

"You have fallen for her, so what about me? What am I?" Lin Mengyao asked, her voice trembling.

"I’m sorry, but I also love you very much." Xu Ke’s low voice sounded, and those words only made Lin Mengyao feel like laughing as she listened, so she followed her heart and laughed out loud.

"Ha, what do you mean by this, that you love me but also like her, is that what you’re trying to say?" Lin Mengyao’s voice was no longer trembling, with more of a sneer and ridicule.
