Pure Love Imprisoned: My Ex-Boyfriend, Who Blamed Me, Imprisoned Me in Love

At 7 p.m., there was a simple dinner at the Oman Hotel. After changing his clothes, He Duoye went with only Lin Mian and one of his men.

The Mei-zhu sisters and Uncle Jixiang were left at the hotel.

Wenya, her fiancé, and their parents were greeting guests at the entrance.

Upon seeing Lin Mian, Wen Ya seemed overjoyed, excitedly and warmly grasping Lin Mian's hands: "You've finally arrived! I've been looking forward to seeing you."

She looked directly at Lin Mian and said, "Let's chat and have some tea together tomorrow afternoon. I'll make time for it."

Her enthusiasm was a little strange.

Lin Mian didn't want to agree, but she couldn't refuse, so she was in a dilemma. He Duoye reached out and snatched Lin Mian's hand back.

"Don't touch her."

Wen Ya wasn't angry. She smiled gently, her eyes fixed on Lin Mian and He Duoye, and said enviously, "That's wonderful."

She said, "You must have a wonderful stay these next two days!"

……

Having learned from her previous experience, Lin Mian was much more at ease this time. Moreover, Wenya's wedding was purely Western in style, without those complicated traditional ceremonies and rules, which gave her a familiar feeling of eating at a high-end buffet.

The dinner was indeed a buffet. Lin Mian really wanted to eat something, but He Duoye insisted on taking her to socialize and meet people and faces she couldn't remember at all.

The only one she remembered was a police chief.

When he appeared nearby, He Duoye showed Lin Mian a middle-aged man who was somewhat overweight.

Lin Mian asked, confused, "Why are you looking at him?"

He Duoye said, "Bald, big belly, dark-skinned... with that build, what do you think he does for a living?"

Lin Mian: "?"

She gave He Duoye a bored look, but since the banquet itself was rather dull, she still guessed: "He's in business, the kind that has a lot of social engagements."

"Wrong, this is the director of the police headquarters." He said, putting his arm around Lin Mian's waist and striding over. He showed no embarrassment at having just talked about others, and greeted her with a smile, "Director Yuan Guang."

The bureau chief turned around with a cheerful smile, looking very amiable: "Third young master of the He family, it's been a long time. Last time we met, you really tricked me."

He said he was scammed, but his smiling face made him look like he had made a lot of money.

The bureau chief's eyes darted around and landed on Lin Mian.

It was just a simple dinner party, so Lin Mian wore a light blue dress that gave her a clean and refreshing look, making her stand out at first glance.

The bureau chief's eyes darted around, intending to make a joke about how different she was from the twins, but when he caught a glimpse of He Duoye's hand around the girl's waist, he wisely swallowed his words.

After all, when He Duoye brought the twins out before, he never put his arm around their waists.

He changed his tune and said, "This must be the legendary Miss Lin. I've heard so much about you."

He Duoye gently patted Lin Mian's waist: "Say hello to Director Yuan Guang. If you get bullied here these next few days, just shout his name and ask him to protect you."

Director Yuan Guang laughed heartily, quite readily agreeing: "Needless to say, I'll protect you. Who would dare disrespect the third young master of the He family?"

He Duoye smiled wryly and pointed directly at the person not far away: "What if it's him?"

It was He Zhengchuan and Uncle Kang Nuo, chatting with guests. He Zhengchuan looked radiant, even his previously unfocused eyes seemed brighter. Uncle Kang Nuo, with his approachable and refined demeanor, stood beside him. Noticing their gaze, he looked up and glanced over.

They are all members of the He family, whom it is not easy to offend.

Director Yuan Guang gave an awkward laugh, exchanged a few polite words with Lin Mian, and quickly slipped away after finishing his small talk.

He Duoye stared at He Zhengchuan, who was radiant, and patted Lin Mian on the lower back: "You go back first."

He ordered his men to come and take Lin Mian back to her room.

Lin Mian returned to her hotel room, a very spacious suite. She walked around the room, found the landline phone, and ordered food for a late-night snack.

I didn't eat much at the dinner party.

After the late-night snack arrived, Lin Mian quickly packed her luggage, hung up the dress she would wear tomorrow, and just as she took out the pajamas she would wear later, there was a knock on the door.

She threw her pajamas on the bed, opened the door, and grabbed her midnight snack.

After eating only a few bites, Wenya suddenly sent her a WeChat message: "Hey, something went wrong at my wedding banquet."

This is an extremely intriguing statement.

Lin Mian couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Wen Ya: "Young Master He Zhengchuan must have offended someone. He was punched in the bathroom and splashed with water. Now he's yelling that he wants to check the surveillance footage to catch the culprit, and he's even saying that your husband did it."

Lin Mian: "..."

She also thought it was very likely that He Duoye did it, after all, when He Duoye saw her off, he had a look on his face that said he was going to cause trouble.

She replied, "No way, maybe He Zhengchuan has some other enemies."

Wenya: "That's true... I hope nothing goes wrong at tomorrow's wedding."

Lin Mian offered a few words of comfort, then bit her chopsticks, scrolled to He Duoye's WeChat, thought for a while, but still didn't ask anything.

Even if you're bored, don't meddle in your ex-boyfriend's affairs. After all, your stubborn ex-boyfriend himself said that he'll suffer if you pity him.

Moreover, stubborn men should suffer a bit.

When He Duoye returned to the room, Lin Mian was taking a shower.

He closed the door, slowly walked to the middle of the living room, stood still, and looked around.

On the coffee table lay a half-eaten late-night snack, half an orange resting on a tissue, and a necklace and bracelet crumpled together. Lin Mian's bag was haphazardly tossed on the sofa, and her pajamas lay on the bed in the master bedroom, with signs of someone sitting on the blankets.

The suitcase was laid out at the foot of the bed.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom, and the scent of shower gel wafted out through the crack in the door.

This is a scene he wouldn't see when he's staying in a hotel alone.

But soon, he will no longer be able to see these trivial yet everyday scenes.

It was the first time Lin Mian had spent the night in someone else's hotel, and she couldn't sleep, tossing and turning all night.

After rolling around in bed several times, Lin Mian finally made up her mind in the early hours of the morning and sat up abruptly.

He Duoye lay flat on his back with his eyes closed, looking as if he were asleep, but Lin Mian knew he wasn't.

When Lin Mian can't sleep, He Duoye can't sleep either; they've always been like this.

"He Duoye." She shook her ex-boyfriend's arm. "I can't sleep. Let's go for a walk."

He Duoye: "..."

He was pretending to be dead without even opening his eyes.

Lin Mian started patting He Duoye's arm: "Hurry up, hurry up."

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Lin Mian got out of bed, opened her suitcase, and rummaged through it for clothes suitable for a walk.

Through the haze, she heard He Duoye seem to sigh. He finally sat up and said, "It's one in the morning."

Lin Mian found the clothes and stood up straight: "If you're not going, I'll go by myself. If I encounter any danger along the way, then I guess I'm just unlucky."

She went into the bathroom, changed her clothes, and came out to find He Duoye sitting on the edge of the bed, already dressed.

"Let's go." He Duoye stood up, extended a hand to Lin Mian, and said helplessly, "Let's take a walk."
