Chapter 417

Zuo Bo paused. He had no idea what Long Chen was talking about.

Long Chen didn’t know that. He thought Zuo Bo was pretending to forget, and his heart became colder.

“What, are you going to tell me that you don’t know about this? Do you think I’m a fool?”

Long Chen felt like ten thousand arrows piercing his heart.

He sounded angry, but he was in agony.

“I don’t know anything about it. Why do I need to lie to you?”

Zuo Bo wanted to fly into a rage, but he restrained himself. He felt that there must be some misunderstanding in this.

“I will investigate what is going on. Don’t be angry.”

He comforted Long Chen. The anger on his face disappeared, but it was replaced by a cold look.

Although he didn’t know what was going on, he knew it must have something to do with Long Qi, who wouldn’t let Long Chen confess to him.

“Investigate?” Long Chen didn’t believe him at all.

“You sound so sincere. If you just want to appease me, I will pretend that this didn’t happen. It’s no big deal. I’m not that pathetic. Zuo Bo, you don’t have to pity me.”

Long Chen said in a cold and indifferent voice, but he felt the pain in his heart as well.

Zuo Bo got furious again, but he knew that Long Chen behaved like this because Long Qi must have said something to him without his knowledge.

If he was angry now and broke up with Long Chen, Long Qi would succeed.

He took a deep breath and then leaned over, hugging Long Chen tightly.

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you. I’m sorry,” he said as he stroked Long Chen’s head gently.

The moment Long Chen heard what Zuo Bo said, his tears fell again.

He bit his lower lip and tried not to cry out. He let Zuo Bo hug him and held back his tears.

Long Chen didn’t want to get angry with Zuo Bo either. He just wanted to stay with Zuo Bo for a while, but for some reason, he got angry.

“I can’t tell you about things between me and Long Qi. It’s for your own good. I promise you that after I settle it, I will explain everything to you.”

‘If you know the truth, Long Qi will kill you. Before I get the sordid evidence of his crimes, I can’t take the risk and let you know about it.’

‘Give me some more time, Long Chen. I won’t let you wait too long.’

“Tell me if you love Long Qi. Am I his substitute?”

As Long Chen asked this question, he couldn’t hold back his tears and sobs.

Zuo Bo’s heart ached. Long Chen was a tough person, but he was crying out loud.

“To me, he’s just your brother, that’s all.”

‘I can’t do anything to him now because he is your brother. If I choose to hurt him in the future, don’t be angry with me. I do this for your good. I can’t keep Long Qi alive.’

Long Chen didn’t reply and kept crying in Zuo Bo’s arms. He was in a dilemma. One was his brother, and the other was his lover. He didn’t know who he should believe.

“Promise me, Zuo Bo. No matter what choice you make, don’t leave me.”

‘I can’t live without you, I can’t live without you.’

Long Chen bit his lip and sobbed in the quiet and cold room.
