Chapter 320: Give Li Chenghao a Chance to Tell Himself
"call"
take a deep breath
Iu sat up and leaned against the bedside, lighting up the desk lamp.
I picked up my phone, opened the kakao software, entered the chat bar and saw five unread messages from Lee Jong-hoon.
Isn’t Lee Jong-hoon together with Lee Sung-ho in the UK?
This time point should be the evening of February 25th, British time. Why did he give himself the information?
The last message was text, which was not fully expanded. Iu could only see the first half of the text, which read: "Nu Na, after thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that I should tell Nu Na that I know. I don't want Nu Na to live in deception..."
Iu frowned, this statement made her slightly uneasy.
The first reaction is that something happened to my brother, but what is the matter related to me? Why not tell myself, it means that I am living in deception.
Click into the chat dialog box and there will be a large paragraph of text and several photos.
The moment I saw the photo, IU's heart seemed to stop beating.
There was a buzzing in my ears, and my mind was filled with the faces of the two people in the photo.
In front of the dining table, under the light, Li Chenghao was sitting on the left side across the dining table and stretched out his right hand. Bae Zhuhyun was sitting on the right side, holding a fork in her hand and looking at Li Chenghao with a confused smile, and let Li Chenghao fiddle with her and let it fall by her ears.
of black hair.
In the other three photos, even though the two of them did not interact intimately, they looked at each other with eyes full of love and tenderness.
iu can't believe it
I immediately searched online for Bae Zhuhyun’s related itinerary.
I also found red on the Internet that Velvet’s latest group was filming and recording in the UK, and they left for the UK only one day earlier than Lee Sung Ho and Lee Jong Hoon. It just so happened that this program was produced by tvn.
With all kinds of information overlapping together, iu instinctively thought that Red’s filming schedule for Velvet’s program was arranged by Li Chenghao.
Thinking back to New Year's Eve.
In the club, iu confirmed some of his guesses and judgments.
However, I believe what Bae Zhuhyun said at that time was true. Li Chenghao did not have a good impression of her, otherwise Bae Zhuhyun would not have expressed his pessimism that they could not be together.
After that, Li Chenghao did not have any single contact with Bae Zhuhyun. During this period, apart from helping him prepare for the reconstruction project of Jiulong Village, he only took him back to Hannam-dong and to the villa in Yangpyeong County.
Celebrate the Spring Festival with my family.
Even if the two don't meet every day, they still keep in touch every day. Li Chenghao has never been to Daegu.
Could it be said that the two of them stayed together every day when they were in S.M Company?
Read the text sent by Lee Jong-hoon carefully.
The following is what happened when he and Li Chenghao came to London and met Bae Zhuhyun. There were many people at the time, but later in the meal, Son Heung-min and Bae Zhuhyun had a close chat, which made Li Chenghao feel bad.
At that time, Lee Jong-hoon couldn't understand why Lee Sung-ho suddenly became unhappy. Now after seeing the scene of the two of them dating alone, he realized that it was Son Heung-min chatting with Bae Joo-hyun in front of him that caused Lee Sung-ho's dissatisfaction.
Meeting Lee Sung-ho and Bae Joo-hyun in the restaurant tonight was purely a coincidence. Thinking about it, Lee Sung-ho didn't seem to have returned to the hotel last night, because Lee Jong-hoon lived in the same presidential suite as Lee Sung-ho, and he didn't see Lee Jong-hoon when he got up this morning.
To Li Chenghao.
The sheets in the bedroom were neat and tidy. I thought the hotel staff came to clean it, but at that time the staff would not knock on the door and come in to clean it. This can only prove that Li Chenghao did not return to the hotel last night.
Lee Jong-hoon said that he didn't want IU to be kept in the dark all the time. He might have a big quarrel because of this matter, but it would be much better than the sudden betrayal attack that would happen to IU after he knew the truth.
Holding mobile phone
Staring at the wall in a daze.
She did not immediately call Li Chenghao to confirm whether something happened between Li Chenghao and Bae Zhuhyun.
In fact, she wanted to do this, but she was thinking that maybe Li Jongxun had misunderstood.
Even if the two of them ate alone, their relationship should not have developed to that point in the end.
Think about how long it took you and Li Chenghao to get to that point, how could Li Chenghao and Bae Zhuhyun be so fast, and Bae Zhuhyun himself has a conservative personality and will not hand over himself so easily.
As long as the relationship between the two does not break through that bottom line, iu can forgive Li Chenghao for the intimate interaction between the two when they are eating alone.
IU wanted to wait until Li Chenghao came back from the UK to tell her personally about all this, and to prove Li Jongxun's guess in disguise, whether he would continue to keep in touch with Bae Zhuhyun without telling her, and really let himself live in deception.
He will still take the initiative to tell himself what happened between him and Bae Zhuhyun in the UK. No matter whether he can accept the result or not, at least Li Chenghao cannot lie to himself.
It can be regarded as giving Li Chenghao a chance and protecting Li Chenghao's face.
February 28
At 3:45 pm local time in Seoul, Lee Sung-ho landed at Incheon International Airport alone.
Li Jongxun will stay in London for a short time. Li Chenghao also introduced the officials of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism who were staying in London to Li Jongxun, and authorized Li Jongxun to participate in the acquisition of Tottenham Football Club on his behalf and with the officials of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
When sending Li Chenghao to the airport, Li Zhongxun originally wanted to ask Li Chenghao, but he still held back.
Before leaving, Li Zhongxun gave him a hug and said something that Li Chenghao didn't understand at the time: "Brother, men should be responsible."
On the plane, Li Chenghao was also thinking about the meaning of Li Zhongxun's words. Li Zhongxun probably guessed something, but Li Chenghao never thought that Li Zhongxun also ate at the same restaurant that night.
After getting into the car picked up by Sunward Capital, Li Chenghao dialed iu's phone number.
"Where are you?"
"Have you returned to China?"
Just listening to iu's tone, Li Chenghao felt something was wrong: "Are you sick?"
"No, I just didn't sleep well."
"I'm back and want to see you tonight."
iu responded calmly: "I will go directly to the Itaewon apartment after I finish my work. You go back and rest first."
"Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"I don't have much appetite, but I can drink some wine."
Li Chenghao echoed: "Okay, it just so happens that I have something to say to you."
Kowloon Village
After ending the call, iu put down the phone and walked to Cui Chenggen: "What should I do? Li Chenghao is back. Our dinner tonight will be cancelled."
"Sister-in-law, Brother Cheng Hao is coming back and asked him to come and eat together. There is no need to cancel."
"He has something to tell me."
Cui Chenggen curled his lips: "I shouldn't ask. We've only been separated for a few days and there are endless love words to tell each other? Is it really better to say goodbye than to get married?"
"Next time, I'll treat you to dinner next time."
In front of Cui Chenggen, Iu did not show any abnormality. He forced himself not to think about what Li Chenghao would say to him after seeing him in the evening, but concentrated on his work.
evening
On the way to the Itaewon apartment in the car, IU could no longer control her thoughts and began to wonder what Li Chenghao was going to say to her.
The good result is to tell himself that he met Bae Zhuhyun and the others in London, and then had a meal with Bae Zhuhyun.
The bad result was that he arranged for Bae Zhuhyun to go to London to record the show so that he could have an honest date in a foreign country, and something indescribable happened between him and Bae Zhuhyun.
Which one will you say? IU became nervous halfway through, always feeling that the beating heart did not belong to her.
