Married at First Sight Chapter 4454

He hadn’t taken a single sip of the tea his secretary made for him.

Nor had he touched the fruit snacks served alongside it.

He didn’t know why Du Yumeng wasn’t answering his calls. Was she angry?

Or had she misunderstood him?

Zhan Yiyang regretted not replying to Du Yumeng immediately after receiving the video. In his urgency to explain, he had rushed over without responding first.

But Yu Meng shouldn’t have misunderstood. She had warned him in advance that Huang Li was her sworn enemy, and he had promised that he would love only her in this lifetime.

He had no feelings for any other woman.

While waiting for Du Yumeng to return, Zhan Yiyang reflected on his actions. He realized he still didn’t fully understand how women think. He needed to keep learning, observing, and gaining experience.

If something like this happened again, even if he planned to explain in person, he should first send her a message on WeChat.

It couldn’t be like today again.

Zhan Yiyang was about to step out and ask the secretary when Du Yumeng would be back when he turned around—and saw her walk in.

“Yumeng.”

He rushed toward her without hesitation.

“Yumeng, I want to hug you. Can I?”

He asked, but before Du Yumeng could respond, he had already pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

“Yumeng, I’m sorry. I was wrong again. I should have replied to your message and explained everything first before coming here.”

“Yumeng, I have absolutely no interest in Huang Li. I don’t like her at all. The only reason I let her in was because you told me if I didn’t know what she looked like, I might not recognize or guard against her—and might fall into her trap.”

“That’s the only reason I met with her. She did say she liked me and wanted to pursue me. She also spoke badly about you, but I stood up for you. I told her that in this life, I only want you.”
“That’s why I let her in. She did say she liked me and wanted to pursue me. She also spoke badly about you, but I pushed back. I told her that you’re the only one I want in my life.”

“I didn’t know she would take a video like that and send it to you. If I had known, I would’ve had security kick her out.”

What’s the point of being gentlemanly? Someone like Huang Li doesn’t deserve such courtesy.

I was held tightly in his arms, listening to his repeated explanations, and could hear the anxiety and panic in his voice.

Du Yumeng had no choice but to gently push him away, trying to free herself from his embrace.

She looked up and said, “My sister needed to talk to me, so I went to her office. I didn’t mean to keep you waiting.”

“I know you don’t have feelings for Huang Li. I also know she made that video on purpose.”

“You called, and I didn’t answer because my phone ran out of battery. I stayed in the office to charge it.”

Du Yumeng lied, unwilling to admit she had been confused and left her phone behind intentionally.

Zhan Yiyang looked down at her.

“Yumeng, are you really not angry or upset with me?”

Du Yumeng smiled. “I’m not angry. I don’t misunderstand you. How could I not see through Huang Li’s tricks?”

“When you didn’t reply, I thought you were busy. That’s why I didn’t ask further.”

“Still, if something like this happens again, it would be better if you could reply to me right away.”

Du Yumeng didn’t admit that she had cared deeply or felt a twinge of jealousy.

Her feelings for him were already stronger than she realized.
