Xia Cheng had lived in the countryside for nearly eighteen years when she discovered her biological parents were famous real estate magnates.
Eagerly, she returned to her family, only to find...
Chapter 77: Confess Half of It to Xun Sheng
After saying this, Xia Cheng asked Yu Jingyuan to take the flowers back. After hurriedly getting out of his car, she ran away without Jingyuan's refusal.
He seemed to be jogging with a red face, but his smile gradually faded when he was alone. When he turned the corner, he bumped into Celine face to face.
Celine staggered a few times after being bumped by Xia Cheng and barely managed to stand steady.
"Sorry." Xia Cheng apologized first. The aisle was narrow and she really shouldn't be running here.
Celine snorted coldly.
"Xia Cheng."
A figure appeared behind Celine. It was Xun Sheng, who was looking for Xia Cheng. He raised his hand and waved at the man.
Xia Cheng suddenly remembered that she and Xun Sheng still had something to discuss. She nodded apologetically and walked away sideways, but she still heard the words "shameless" drift out.
Her eyes sparkled and she looked back in confusion, but Celine had already left, so she had no choice but to come to Xun Sheng.
"Let's go and find a place to talk."
"There are people all over here, inside and outside, go to my car."
Xun Sheng finished his words calmly and indifferently. Seeing Xia Cheng didn't move, he cast a glance over. Xia Cheng reluctantly lifted her feet. She had just come from the parking lot and was now going with Xun Sheng. She didn't think she would run into Yu Jingyuan!
"Let's go somewhere else!"
"Why?"
"The basement is too dark, I'm scared..."
"Afraid?" Xun Sheng said, hinting, "I thought you were very brave."
Xia Cheng shook her head and tried to stop him. What she feared was coming true.
The two of them were still standing at the corner when they saw Yu Jingyuan coming towards them.
Xia Cheng's legs went limp.
Yu Jingyuan greeted Xun Sheng as usual. While chatting, he seemed to have just noticed Xia Cheng and greeted her.
No one watching would have suspected they had just met.
But for Xun Sheng, who had just had an argument with Yu Jingyuan in the garden not long ago, it seemed too suspicious.
That night when they were arguing in the garden, he clearly noticed Yu Jingyuan's favoritism and feelings towards Xia Cheng.
At this moment, Xia Cheng's cheeks were flushed as she walked towards Yu Jingyuan. Yu Jingyuan also walked towards her from this direction after a while. It was hard for him not to guess what had happened.
Before, he wondered whether Xia Cheng would like Yu Jingyuan, but ever since Xia Cheng confessed to him, he suddenly felt at ease.
Thinking of this, Xun Sheng felt that he was overthinking.
At that time, what could the two of them do in the parking lot?
Maybe it's a coincidence.
After chatting with Yu Jingyuan for a few words, Xun Sheng took Xia Cheng away.
Because he was facing away, he couldn't see Xia Cheng being held by Yu Jingyuan's hand and saying goodbye.
When he turned around and urged her, he saw that Xia Cheng's face had turned redder. Although she felt strange, she still turned on the air conditioner when she got in the car.
Although Xun Sheng didn't see all of this, Celine saw it all.
Celine thought it was ridiculous and snorted.
"No wonder he got the opportunity. It turns out he has so many connections."
She really looked down on Xia Cheng's appearance. After a moment of anger, she drove to the celebration banquet venue.
*
Xia Cheng got into Xun Sheng's car, which was very similar to Yu Jingyuan's. Both were black, and at first glance they looked exactly the same.
Xia Cheng obediently sat in the passenger seat.
Xun Sheng closed the car door, threw the cigarette box in his pocket into the front hole of the car, and squeezed his long legs into the luxury car with a very low chassis, seemingly asking casually.
"Have you been avoiding me these days?"
"No." Xia Cheng thought, she just pretended not to be at home once and didn't reply to messages, it shouldn't be considered hiding, and he didn't come to see her again.
Xia Cheng didn't know how many times Xun Sheng had come.
Xun Sheng looked away and didn't say anything more about it, then changed the subject.
"That day, I drank too much and Han Wenya wanted to follow me, but I let her go."
"Oh..." It's none of her business, she doesn't care.
She was just angry that she hadn't noticed the special relationship between Xun Sheng and Han Wenya. It was disgusting to stick up to a married man like this!
Xia Cheng glanced at it and took a deep breath.
"Well, actually, I have something to say..."
"Um, what is it?"
"Actually, I don't like you..."
Xun Sheng raised his eyelids, sank into the seat, turned up his sleeves a few times, folded his muscular forearms, supported his chin, and looked at Xia Cheng coldly.
"Han Wenya and I have no relationship at all. We have never slept together, and we have never been together."
Is this an explanation?
Xia Cheng looked at Xun Sheng in astonishment. He was only wearing a simple white shirt, and his calm face always made people feel alienated. Such a always calm person was actually explaining?
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
"Are you... explaining?"
Why explain to her? He doesn't like me, so it's just a misunderstanding. What's the big deal? Is it necessary to talk about it in the car?
Xun Sheng nodded. He couldn't help but want to make his words clear, so he really did it.
Now, Xia Cheng shouldn't be so sad. His eyes were red when he saw her that day. Although he had rejected her, as a brother, he still couldn't bear to see his sister sad.
But his sister did not smile as he expected.
Then the corners of Xun Sheng's mouth also faded.
Xia Cheng pursed her lips and considered.
"Actually, brother, I don't like you anymore..."
She said yes, but she didn't deny the fact that she had liked him. She was worried that Xun Sheng would ask her why she lied to him.
This sentence exploded in Xun Sheng's mind like thunder. Already? Look what interesting things he heard. It's not even been a month since Xia Cheng confessed her feelings, and she's only moved out for twenty days, and she's already saying she doesn't like him anymore?!
Xun Sheng didn't believe it.
I even felt that Xia Cheng said this because she was too sad.
He continued to explain.
"I didn't lie to you. There were a lot of people at the dinner party that day. Later, I went out for a drink and she followed me, but nothing happened. Besides, I didn't know you were waiting for me at the door..."
If he knew, he might come back earlier.
Xia Cheng hummed, opened her phone, and showed a photo. It was a piece of gossip about Xun Sheng that she had seen on the Internet a few days ago. She was speechless at the time and saved it as evidence.
At this moment, she showed her cell phone screen.
Xun Sheng tilted his head and looked, and saw the backs of himself and Han Wenya entering and leaving the hotel together, and stared with frowns.
"I was drunk at the time, so she helped me up. Besides, we went to the hotel to drink."
Xia Cheng raised an eyebrow, opened the car door, and spoke with her back to him.
"Actually, posting this photo isn't about questioning my brother. After all, as his sister, I have no right to do so. If there were another woman around him, I wouldn't go up to him and bother him. After all, in my heart, I want my brother to have a good marriage partner. Seeing him happy would make me happy, too. So, I've decided to give up on you. Just pretend I never said those words before! I don't like you anymore!"
Xia Cheng finished speaking these words in one breath, jumped out of the car, and fled. She was afraid that she would stay any longer, so she couldn't help but frown and said, "I'm just using you."
Xun Sheng got out of the car in a hurry, resting his elbows on the door frame. Looking at Xia Cheng's back as she kept running, he finally clenched his fists.
Xia Cheng's words were undoubtedly the best outcome for them.
But why would he feel so unhappy?
His mind was like a mixture of concrete, and he thought of that photo. In fact, he had someone take that photo, but he couldn't tell Xia Cheng.
