Chapter 128: Between us, who do you choose?

Xia Cheng could never have imagined that these words came from Yu Jingyuan's mouth.

He is excellent and should be proud of himself instead of saying such humble words.

Xia Cheng was in the room getting dressed and packing her things, taking about half an hour to dawdle. During this half hour, they had actually been sitting outside?

What on earth did they talk about that made them say such things now?

But Xia Cheng was determined to pretend to the end today.

"I......"

"Come and sit down and talk." Xun Sheng pointed to another single sofa.

Xia Cheng swallowed nervously, hesitated for a moment, and sat down.

The sofa was quite large, but she awkwardly placed her bag on her lap. She remained silent for a long moment before forcing herself to calm down. When she looked up, Wan Lu had actually come out. He must have just finished a shower, so he was wearing only a towel, not even wiping the wetness off his upper body. He gave Xia Cheng a cheering gesture and touched the red mark on his neck, hinting at something.

Yes, we have made it this far...

Xia Cheng's shoulders relaxed and her body sank into the sofa.

"This bitch..." Xun Sheng said softly.

In the hospital room, Wan Lu kissed Xia Cheng. At the gate of the residential complex, Wan Lu hugged Xia Cheng. Later, when he invested in Xia Cheng's name, he felt something was amiss. But at the time, he felt that Xia Cheng was already his, and inexplicably confident, he continued to associate with Wan Lu.

Now it seems that he is a black-hearted person. He had been eyeing Xia Cheng for a long time and even made Xia Cheng break off their friendship.

"What he can give you, I can give you too," Xun Sheng said. At worst, he could be more ambitious and control Lando himself. This wasn't a difficult task; over time, the company's shareholders had gradually sided with him.

Lin Minghe didn't think too much about it; he simply felt wronged. He liked Xia Cheng, but Xia Cheng thought he was easy to deceive. He felt hurt, and the grown man shrank there, as if withered.

He'd spent the previous half hour reflecting on Xia Cheng's infidelity. It seemed like he and Xia Cheng had never truly established a relationship, so he'd redefined himself as a sex buddy. But they'd never had sex, only kissed. So, he called himself a sex buddy. This made him feel much better. Xia Cheng didn't need to be responsible for him anymore; it was just his own wishful thinking.

However, Lin Minghe glanced at the trouser legs of the two people around him.

Were they also Xia Cheng's sex partners? Had they done it with Xia Cheng? Had he fallen so far behind?

Lin Minghe looked at Xia Cheng dissatisfiedly: "Sister... didn't you say you only loved me..."

In reality, Xia Cheng wasn't really Lin Minghe's sister; he was actually a bit older. Lin Minghe called her "sister" simply because he hoped she would remember the champion and show some mercy, not kick him out.

The saddest one must be Jingyuan.

He kept replaying his first encounter with Xia Cheng in his mind, only then realizing how much was not coincidental... Later, Xia Cheng refused to acknowledge their relationship. He had initially assumed she was shy and afraid. Now it seemed her feelings were unstable at the time, and she was afraid to speak up. He wanted to wait until he fell in love with her before provoking Xun Mo.

However, I am so unwilling to be reduced to a tool.

He had truly thought that if their relationship continued, they would get married and have a child or two that looked like each other. If Xia Cheng decided to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, they might have children later. He would follow her dramas and get jealous when she filmed kissing scenes with other people in them...

Yu Jingyuan clenched his fists tightly, and felt pain in his nails and palms.

But, is he just going to leave like this? Why is he so reluctant to leave Xia Cheng even though he is clearly hurt? He cursed himself in his heart for being shameless, but still looked forward to Xia Cheng's answer.

Ultimately, he was too tolerant of Xia Cheng and was willing to give her another chance. But after this chance, he would hold her tightly in his arms.

He suddenly stood up and looked at her: "You can only choose me."

Any hand that covets her will be stopped by him.

Wan Lu leaned against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest, taking in everyone's expressions at ease. Finally, he raised a finger and said provocatively:

"How about I just make do with it? You pick one and we can be together. But it can only be three people, no more."

*

Xia Cheng sank into the sofa, supporting her chin with one hand, her fingers slightly raised. After glaring at Wan Lu fiercely, she spoke lazily after a while, and several men held their breath and concentrated.

"I told you, I'm just using you." She was as calm as a tree, motionless. "I've never liked you, so this option doesn't apply."

"Chenchen..." Lin Minghe's eyelashes, stained with tears, trembled. "Do you really not like me at all?"

Xia Cheng did not answer this question. She felt upset and hated her own behavior, but the matter was done and she could only make the best of it.

She forced a smile and pretended not to care:

"I'm sorry for this matter. To be frank, I used to think I was the daughter of the Xun family. I seduced you because I envied Xun Mo. But now I know that I'm just an illegitimate daughter. I also realize how wrong my previous behavior was, so I don't want to continue making mistakes. I'm not a loyal person. So, it's okay if you want to beat me, scold me, or publicize my crimes. After you've vented your anger, please forget me and leave."

After Xia Cheng finished speaking, it was so quiet that she even heard someone's suddenly heavy breathing, just like a person with a stuffy nose after a bad cold.

But no one left.

She has already said so much, how can she get them to leave?

Finally, as if he couldn't bear it any longer, Lin Minghe was the first to leave. He walked away quietly, with his shoulders hunched together, like a big dog abandoned by its owner.

Next was Xun Sheng. He walked in front of Wan Lu, and their eyes met in the air for a moment like lightning. He sneered, and finally glanced at Xia Cheng before leaving.

Only Yu Jingyuan was still standing there, his eyes closely following every expression on Xia Cheng's face.

Seeing this, Wan Lu walked over and stood between him and Xia Cheng.

Yu Jingyuan finally came to his senses.

He left, and every step he took felt like it was digging into his heart. The further he was away from Xia Cheng, the more painful it became.

The suite finally quieted down.

Wan Lu closed the door of the hotel and turned around to see Xia Cheng staggering to her feet, then suddenly losing strength and falling to the ground. He hurried over and hugged her in his arms.

He originally wanted to ask her if she was feeling unwell, but when he noticed Xia Cheng's tears on his chest, he realized... she was not that cruel, she was just feeling unwell.

Xia Cheng covered her chest and asked Wan Lu with a sob:

"Why does my chest hurt so much? I feel like I'm going to die."

Wan Lu sighed and said, "It's all your own fault..."

Xia Cheng also felt the same way. She nestled in his arms and stopped talking.

Wan Lu stayed with her for a while before placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Xia Cheng, even though they're gone, you can still use me. I have money, power, and connections. No matter how you use me, I'm happy to do so."
