Love Gambit: The Untouchable Tycoon is So Dangerous-Chapter 434 - 438: She Would Rather Deceive Herself For That Person…

Even if it were a project involving the financing and cooperation of hundreds of global companies for over a hundred billion, he wouldn’t even blink an eye while doing it.

Yet, a tiny problem has stumped him.

Xing Chen took a sip of the hot milk to cover up, avoiding her gaze, not daring to meet her angry eyes.

"Who was the hacker that attacked Rongsheng Technology yesterday? Why are you protecting him so much?" He changed the subject, not wanting to remain in a passive position.

The initiative was entirely in her hands; every word she said was like a heart-rending pain to him!

Originally aggressed, Ran Xiangsi instantly wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant upon hearing Xing Chen’s question.

He still cares about this...

"I already told you, the hacker was me..." Ran Xiangsi stubbornly repeated what she had said yesterday.

She wasn’t sure how Xing Chen had seen through her, but she really couldn’t betray her mentor.

It was the mentor who raised her and taught her everything she knew!

She absolutely couldn’t do anything that betrayed her mentor!

"Ran Xiangsi, I also said, don’t lie to me." Xing Chen frowned deeply. Besides his plan to distance himself from Ran Xiangsi, he was genuinely interested in the person she was protecting.

Who could it be? Who could make Ran Xiangsi hide the truth and take the blame?

That person must be extremely important in Ran Xiangsi’s heart, right?

Important enough for her to deceive me for that person...

Thinking about this, an unnamed fire surged in Xing Chen’s heart!

He didn’t want to argue with her any further, so he simply got up and walked upstairs.

Xing Chen left, leaving only Ran Xiangsi standing there in a daze...

She also didn’t understand what was happening?

Clearly, when they were by the riverside, everything was fine. How did things turn out like this as soon as they got back?

Her heart ached slightly.

Ran Xiangsi bit her lower lip, glanced upstairs, and muttered stubbornly, "I don’t want to lie to you, either! But what about my mentor? I can’t break my promise to him!"

Standing still, Ran Xiangsi didn’t move, constantly thinking about how she could get Xing Chen to let this go?

And what should she do about her mentor’s situation?

What Ran Xiangsi didn’t know was that the moment Xing Chen got up and turned his back on her, his handsome face was no longer cold and indifferent; it was filled with deep pain and reluctance.

He wasn’t the kind of person who would frequently argue with his wife until they were red in the face and blue in the neck.

This might be his first fight with Ran Xiangsi.

Seeing her so angry, glaring at him, Xing Chen almost couldn’t stop himself from hugging her...

But Xing Chen knew that if he did that, all his efforts would be for nothing.

So he chose to leave.

If he didn’t see the mournful expression on her face, maybe he wouldn’t soften.

About ten minutes later, Xing Chen went downstairs again, ready to head to the office.

As he walked down the stairs, the first thing he saw was the girl standing blankly in the living room.

She had her head down, lacking her usual liveliness and noise, unusually quiet.

Xing Chen just glanced at her lightly, then quickly looked away, pretending he didn’t see her, and brushed past her!

Hearing footsteps, Ran Xiangsi raised her head. The moment she saw Xing Chen walking towards her, her heart actually felt a bit of joy!
