Transmigrated as My Best Friend's Ex

67. Don’t Let Me Down

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“Yes, he is still alive and four months later I’ll tell you where he is. But in exchange, you have to stop investigating his whereabouts and everything about him. Certainly, you can take advantage of the social forces of Nancheng family and keep trying to find out where he is. But trust me, if you do so, you will never see him again.” The reason he asked Nancheng Lie to wait for four months was because he had only four months to live. If four months later Princess Frise broke her promise or Mu Yinting’s partner failed to develop an antidote, the virus would take away his life.

If he were to be alive four months later, he would tell Nancheng Lie that he was Han Mingxu. If he died four months later… Li Qinghao’s heart ached. This would be a white lie.

“Are you threatening me?” Nancheng Lie gripped Li Qinghao’s shoulder again, but this time he was gentle.

“You won’t gamble with Han Mingxu’s life, will you?”

“You are a damned nuisance.” Nancheng Lie, indeed, couldn’t afford to gamble with Xu’s life.

“It doesn’t matter to me whether you like me or not.”

“Oh?” Nancheng Lie raised Li Qinghao’s chin and lowered his head. Then he snorted with laughter and whispered in Li Qinghao’s ear, “If so, why did you sleep with me? Is it because Keqi is too busy to make love with you?”

“Don’t worry, he has good sex skills, and he…”

Nancheng Lie suddenly pinched Li Qinghao’s chin hard with one hand and looked at him with a face as black as thunder. “He has good sex skills? Have you slept with him?”

“Nancheng Lie.” Why was he angry?

“What’s wrong?”

“You…” Li Qinghao suddenly smiled and asked, “Are you angry because I slept with Keqi?”

“What did you say?” Nancheng Lie was stunned for a moment.

‘What is this guy talking about? I don’t care whether he has slept with Keqi. I just…’ Nancheng Lie thought. He looked at Li Qinghao and couldn’t think of a reason.

‘Damn it! I can’t even explain why I’m angry.

Everything has changed since this man woke up from his coma. I have found out that Keqi is not Xu. As for this man… his expressions and manners give me a feeling of familiarity. Sometimes I almost think he is Xu. Besides, I… I don’t at all hate having sex with him… I even think it’s good to go on like this… Shit!’ Nancheng Lie cursed in his heart.

He got up and looked around the room. Then he walked to the nearest sofa and sat down. He felt that he needed to keep a safe distance from Li Qinghao.

“If you can’t bring Xu to me in four months, do you know what I will do to you?”

‘If I’m still alive four months later, you will know that I’m Han Mingxu. I know you will get angry with me by then.

But if I die in four months…’ Li Qinghao thought to himself.

“You know what?” Nancheng Lie leaned on the sofa and continued, “I don’t remember when I fell in love with him secretly, but my love for him has lasted for more than 15 years. I dare not tell him because I’m afraid that it will destroy the relationship I’ve built with him over the years. I know I’m special to him, but I don’t know if he would accept me as his partner. I’m afraid that we will no longer be friends if I confess my love to him. So, I abandon myself in the world of wine and men.”

Li Qinghao kept silent, and his heart ached for Nancheng Lie.

“I have loved him for so many years. If I had known that I would lose him, I wouldn’t have kept my love a secret from him. So…” Nancheng Lie looked at Li Qinghao with cold eyes. “So, don’t let me down, otherwise…” He pointed at his chest and continued, “I will let the whole world know how painful it is to lose a loved one.”

“What do you mean?”
