Chapter 45 - The Alpha's Spoiled Little Husband (15)

TL: Moonlit
Li Yufeng frowned.
“What’s the problem?”
He didn’t even want to recall what happened back then.
In fact, he himself didn’t want to admit it, but it seemed like he had developed feelings for someone he shouldn’t have.
He knew that person was poison, but he couldn’t help but want to get close to him, touch him…
Such a dangerous presence, he should indeed listen to An Yu and send him away, out of sight, out of mind.
But just the thought of Bai Yu standing by Mo Fan’s side made Li Yufeng’s fingers clench tightly. He felt like he was going insane.
Sensing the air growing colder, the subordinate was sweating profusely.
The oppressive pheromones emitted by the Commander were like roaring waves, capable of overwhelming anyone.
If possible, he would have loved to leave immediately.
However, what he had to say next was crucial. He couldn’t remain silent.
Under the pressure, the subordinate organized his words, hoping to make things clearer.
“Commander, listen to me. The email that Young Master Bai sent to the Earl was actually tampered with. It doesn’t contain genuine data.”
Li Yufeng gave him a cold glance and snorted. He thought his subordinate had discovered something significant.
“The data in that email was originally fake. Of course, it wouldn’t be genuine data.”
“No, Commander,” the subordinate urgently said, “When I opened that email earlier, I suddenly realized that the content had been modified on top of the fake data you provided.”
Afraid of not being clear enough, the subordinate even pulled Li Yufeng’s arm and said, “Commander, come with me and see the email. Then you’ll know everything.”
In the study.
Li Yufeng sat in front of the computer, quickly scrolling up and down with the mouse, his eyes fixed on the screen.
The screen displayed the “evidence” of Bai Yu’s betrayal.
But this evidence was completely different from what he had imagined.
However, it was still horrifying to look at!
The first few pages of the document were identical to the fake data he had provided, but upon closer inspection, he found a world of difference within.
Many parts of the document had been deleted, and there was no substantial information left…
There were no words that could put him in a life-or-death situation.
Even the most ordinary data had been modified entirely.
This seemingly complete confidential document had long been altered beyond recognition!
…
Li Yufeng stared at these things intently, his fingers tightly clenched.
Instantly, it seemed as if everything around him fell into silence.
Even the air became quiet.
Suddenly, the words he had questioned Bai Yu with resurfaced in his mind.
“Why did you agree to marry me?”
Bai Yu’s soft and cute smile.
He said, “Because I like you, so I want to marry you.”
“I, even before you knew me, had already fallen for you. A long time ago, I started liking you…”
His heart felt a slight pain.
Although Bai Yu’s words had always stirred something in Li Yufeng, he never believed them.
When he learned of Bai Yu’s betrayal, he felt miserable, but subconsciously, he thought it should have been that way.
After all, what could he expect from a spy?
Regardless of anything, Bai Yu was just a spy.
So, when things were exposed, Bai Yu unhesitatingly sought refuge with someone of similar power, Mo Fan.
For such a spy, there was no limit to what he could do.
No matter what, he was just a spy.
That’s why, even when he was betrayed, Li Yufeng believed it should have happened that way.
Li Yufeng had always felt like a fool, being the only one moved in this so-called relationship.
But now, seeing all these things, he realized how terribly wrong he had been.
Bai Yu didn’t betray him…
The information he gave to Earl Bai was false.
Bai Yu truly didn’t have any intention to betray him.
“Commander, it seems you misunderstood Young Master Bai. And we have also discovered something,” the subordinate said eagerly, handing a document to Li Yufeng.
In fact, this document had already been investigated beforehand.
After all, Bai Yu was the King’s appointed fiancé to Li Yufeng, and as his subordinate, they couldn’t ignore investigating Bai Yu’s background.
But some things were deeply hidden, so it took quite some time to uncover them.
“Commander, our investigation shows that Young Master Bai is not Earl Bai’s biological son. He was adopted by Earl Bai, and Young Master Bai has a younger sister who is still at Earl Bai’s residence. It seems Young Master Bai agreed to come with us because of this sister.”
The subordinate didn’t finish his sentence, but Li Yufeng already understood everything.
People like them who played with political maneuvers were well aware of many things without saying a word.
Bai Yu’s situation was nothing more than that of an abandoned child.
If they could obtain some secrets, even better. If not, losing his life would suffice.
After all, he was just an adopted son, not even a biological son. How could Earl Bai care about his life or death?
And Li Yufeng had almost let An Yu deal with him.
He had become a sacrificial pawn in this political confrontation.
As for him, Bai Yu, he was merely a pawn whose usefulness had been exhausted.
Who would care about him?
Li Yufeng’s heart suddenly constricted!
It hurt like nothing else!
He immediately stood up, pushed open the study’s door, and walked out.
—
In the room, Bai Yu lay on the bed with closed eyes, and the voice of the system’s prompt kept ringing.
“[Ding, target character’s favorability +10]”
“[Ding, target character’s favorability +10]”
“[Ding, target character’s favorability +10]”
“[Ding, target character’s favorability +10]”
“[Current target character’s favorability 90%]”
[“Wow, host, your favorability has increased a lot. It seems the villain already knows he misunderstood you. You don’t have to suffer anymore.”]
“Mhm.” Bai Yu remained lying there, showing no interest in responding.
From the moment he altered the data and sent the email, he knew that Li Yufeng would eventually discover the truth.
It was only a matter of time…
That’s why when An Yu slandered him in front of Li Yufeng, Bai Yu didn’t bother explaining even once.
He wanted to wait until Li Yufeng discovered the truth himself and experienced a surge of favorability due to guilt.
And now the result was just as he had imagined. His favorability instantly increased by 40 points.
It was an incredibly terrifying growth rate.
However, Bai Yu felt no happiness at all.
Because he had also tried to tell Li Yufeng the truth, but Li Yufeng didn’t believe him.
Instead, he handed him over to An Yu for punishment.
Bai Yu looked at his arm, the skin appearing flawless on the surface.
But upon closer inspection, faint red marks could be seen.
Li Yufeng’s ointment could heal external scars and even make them disappear within a day, as if nothing had happened.
But it couldn’t heal the wounds he suffered inside…
It was all just a superficial disguise.
The wounds he endured remained.
How could they heal so easily?
At that moment, the room’s door suddenly banged open.
Li Yufeng forcefully pushed the door open and stood there, his eyes fixed on the person lying on the bed.
He walked over in big strides and tightly embraced Bai Yu, holding him in his arms.
Bai Yu kept his eyes closed, appearing as if he were asleep, but his trembling body betrayed him.
His eyes were reddened, and transparent tears continued to flow.
“Xiao Yu…”
Li Yufeng’s voice was low and heavy, each word carefully chosen. “I was wrong.”
Bai Yu turned his head away, ignoring him.
But his eyes welled up with even more tears.
His heart was filled with countless grievances.
“Xiao Yu, listen to me. I was mistaken. I thought you betrayed me, which is why I was so angry. Now I know the truth.”
Li Yufeng held Bai Yu tightly, feeling an immense heartache.
From the beginning, this person in front of him never considered betraying him.
He said he liked him.
He said he wanted him…
He even said he wasn’t that kind of person, that he never betrayed him.
Every word he said came from the bottom of his heart.
But in the end, all he received was unwarranted punishment from himself.
Causing him to be so severely injured!
Almost driving him into someone else’s arms.
Facing this version of himself.
How could he not want to leave?
“Xiao Yu, it’s all my fault. Don’t be angry anymore, okay?”
Li Yufeng’s voice was incredibly gentle.
He had never spoken in such a tone with anyone in his entire life.
Only when facing Bai Yu could he reveal such tenderness.
Tears streamed down Bai Yu’s cheeks like a broken dam.
In these past few days, he had endured so much suffering, and it felt as if he had finally found a release at this moment.
He grabbed onto Li Yufeng’s clothes with his hand and sobbed against his chest.
His wet tears soaked Li Yufeng’s shirt.
“Li Yufeng, I hate you. You big jerk, I won’t like you anymore.”
Li Yufeng’s heart was filled with anxiety. He was genuinely afraid that from now on, Bai Yu would become disheartened and no longer love him.
Such precious love, if it were to disappear like this, he would be utterly devastated.
Li Yufeng desperately desired Bai Yu. He kissed him passionately, claiming everything that belonged to him.
“Bai Yu, I want you. You’re not allowed to stop liking me.”
Bai Yu pushed him away forcefully, feeling resentful.
But suddenly, he felt everything spinning around him.
This frail body of his, which was already on the verge of collapse, became even weaker.
He felt his strength being slowly drained away.
Disappearing bit by bit.
He had experienced this countless times in the past few days… constantly fainting.
And now it seemed to be happening again…
Everything started to darken before his eyes, and he slowly lost consciousness.
Then he didn’t know anything anymore.
Seeing Bai Yu suddenly faint, Li Yufeng’s heart tightened.
He quickly lifted Bai Yu in his arms and rushed out of the room.
