Chapter 97: That Man, Honestly!

Hearing that, Ye Luo instantly remembered that a few days ago he had said to her that, if he could speak, he would tell her everything.

And now, he could not.

Unable to help herself, she asked, “Are you sure the one you like is really me?”

Gong Lu let out a low laugh at once. “I’ve made it so obvious, and you still don’t believe me?”

Ye Luo said coolly, “I understand.”

Before, she had not believed him. But now, she did.

He knew her preferences better than she did herself. He knew all the details of her background, and he even looked at her with a kind of possessive, almost unhinged, pathological intensity.

She had not forgotten what he had said to her that day: if you are her, then you can only be mine.

And now, she was “her.”

What reason did she have not to believe him?

At that moment, she more or less understood what he had meant when he said, “If you really are the person I like, I’ll make you believe me.” And now, it was obvious that the method he had used to make her believe him was to reveal that he knew all about her.

Seeing how indifferent her tone was, Gong Lu laughed again. “Nothing else to say?”

Ye Luo’s voice was even cooler. “I don’t like you.”

“I know.” After a pause, he looked at her, his gaze earnest and burning. “But Luo Luo, what I said was true.”

“Mm?” For a moment, Ye Luo did not know which line he was referring to.

“You can only be mine.”

Ye Luo frowned instantly. This man truly was—

Gong Lu went on, “Everything I did before was only to test you, to see whether you were really the person I liked. Since you are, then you can only be mine.”

Ye Luo opened the car door and got in.

Clearly, she could not be bothered with him.

Gong Lu was still standing there with his arms folded, leaning casually against the car. He turned his head and watched as she settled into the passenger seat and began fastening her seat belt. Only then did he lower his gaze and smile softly.

Then he straightened, walked around the front of the car, opened the driver’s door, and got in as well.

After that, Gong Lu drove toward the villa in the western suburbs. No matter what he said, Ye Luo ignored him. He did not get angry; he only let out another soft laugh.

Hearing that laugh, Ye Luo found it grating, but still she did not answer him. She simply tilted her head and looked out at the scenery sliding backward beyond the window.

Then she thought of what he had said earlier about telling her everything he could, and on a whim she turned to him again.

“How much do you actually know about me?”

He knew her background. He knew her preferences. What else did he know?

Gong Lu’s phoenix eyes curved with amusement as he glanced at her. “If I said I know everything about you inside and out, would you believe me?”

Inside and out?

Ye Luo frowned.

Logically, she did not believe it. How could anyone possibly know her that thoroughly? And yet, for some reason, she had the feeling that what he was saying was true.

At that moment, she really wanted to ask him how he knew her so well. But she had already asked that question, and he had said he could not tell her. Ask again, and the answer would be the same.

So what was there left to ask?

And yet, the next second, she asked something else entirely. “What did you mean before, when you said he wasn’t easy to deal with?”

The “he” naturally referred to her ancestor, Ye Wuqi.

In truth, she was asking this to test him, to see whether he really knew everything about her.

If he knew that Ye Wuqi was her ancestor, then no matter whether it was from reason or from anything else, she would completely believe what he said about knowing her through and through.

Gong Lu glanced at her again and chuckled softly. “Testing me?”

Ye Luo frowned.

This man really was smart.

At the same time, she was now certain of it.

Even if he did not answer, she would still believe that he knew everything about her.
