Unable to bear seeing her like this, Lu Zhanbei sighed softly and asked her, "Even if I had known everything from the start, so what? What impact does it have on you? What are you lacking? What have you lost? Or what's missing?"
"But you both are the people I love and respect the most. I don't like being lied to."
In response, Lu Zhanbei looked at her seriously and questioned her in the same tone, "What did I lie to you about? Huh?"
Again, that 'huh'!
Despite her justified reasoning, hearing him communicate with her in this tone made her feel like an unreasonable child throwing a tantrum.
Nevertheless, she genuinely felt aggrieved, "You… you didn't tell me you knew about these things."
"So, is it considered a lie?"
Gu Qianqian: "…"
Lu Zhanbei had a point…
But then again, wasn't it still called deception? If he genuinely cared for her, he should tell her the truth. His silence… could be seen as cheating her, right?
