Chapter 2420 Being Alone with Him

"Why are you running?" Lin Zihang asked with a frown.

Tang Xin sighed inwardly. She had been avoiding him in the first place, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't avoid him.

Just now when she was dancing with He Xuyang, she felt the gaze of Lin Zihang standing next to the dance floor. She didn't understand why Lin Zihang was looking at her like that, as if she had done something wrong to him.

More importantly, when he was looking at her, Tang Xin's heart beat faster, she made frequent mistakes, and kicked He Xuyang several times.

It was because He Xuyang had a good temper and was not angry. Instead, he teased her and told her to simply let her feet rest on the ground and step directly on his instep so that he could lead her in dancing.

Anyway, the dancing was terrible.

When the song ended, she was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Zihang walking towards her.

Not wanting to have any more contact with him, she quickly slipped away from the dance floor, thinking of going out through the side door to get some fresh air outside. Anyway, Jiuyao didn't really need her as a bridesmaid at the moment, so she could take a break for a while.

Who would have thought that Lin Zihang would catch up with him.

"I... I'm in a hurry to go to the bathroom." As she said that, she broke free from Lin Zihang's arms.

After pushing Lin Zihang away, Tang Xin wanted to continue moving forward, but she had sprained her ankle quite hard, and after taking just two steps, she gasped in pain.

If she hadn't been wearing these high heels, she could still hop on one leg, but she had to wear a pair of stilettos, so she had to endure the pain in her ankles and limp forward with gritted teeth.

After taking only two steps, she heard Lin Zihang's footsteps behind her. Then she felt dizzy. When she came to her senses, Lin Zihang had already picked her up.

"If you can't leave, don't try to be brave." As he said that, he strode towards the bathroom.

Judging from his posture, he was going to send her to the bathroom...

Tang Xin had no choice but to quickly say to him, "Put me down, I don't want to go anymore."

Lin Zihang kept walking and said, "Then find a lounge and I'll help you check it out."

When Tang Xin heard this, she quickly said no, no, she was fine and there was no need to go to the lounge.

Lin Zihang ignored her and continued to walk forward holding her.

Tang Xin had no choice but to say to him, "Master Lin, please put me down right away. It would be embarrassing if someone saw me."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"You also have a fiancée. Is it appropriate for people to see you hugging another woman like this?" Tang Xin said this angrily.

She didn't want him to be like a scumbag who did strange things and said strange things to other women even though he already had a fiancée.

She didn't want him to disturb her mood again.

Lin Zihang chuckled: "I'm concerned about my old classmates, what's wrong with that?"

"Young Master Lin, after all these years of struggling in society, has this all he's learned to do is speak in a slick and slippery way?"

Lin Zihang's face suddenly turned cold.

Tang Xin looked at his expression, feeling inexplicably nervous and not daring to say anything.

When she was in school, Tang Xin was always scared when she saw his stern and cold face.

Now Lin Zihang is no longer the young master who just graduated from university. After years of experience, he has become more calm and composed like a mature man, and has a sense of majesty of a superior, as if he can easily control her life and death.

As for Tang Xin herself, she felt that she was always standing still, and she was just more tolerant than when she was in college.

She hated her lack of progress.

Just like at this moment, she should have rejected Lin Zihang more forcefully, so why did she let him squeeze her like a soft persimmon?

Tang Xin took a deep breath and said, "You're not afraid of what others say, but I am. I don't want my boyfriend to misunderstand me."

Lin Zihang stopped, looked down at her in his arms, and said sarcastically, "That He Xuyang?"

"Yes! So put me down quickly."

Lin Zihang chuckled and ignored her words. He then walked to a door next to him and kicked it.

With a bang, the door opened.

Tang Xin's heart trembled, and she subconsciously shrank into his arms. She looked up at him carefully, not daring to say a word.

Lin Zihang carried her into the house, then closed the door with his foot, and there was another bang.

Tang Xin shuddered again. Needless to say, her words made Lin Zihang angry.

So I didn't dare to talk anymore and just looked around carefully.

This was a bright lounge with a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows facing the lawn outside. She had come here earlier to familiarize herself with the wedding venue. If she remembered correctly, this should be Lin Zihang's exclusive lounge...

The two of them were alone in a room, and an inexplicable feeling of ambiguity arose. Tang Xin's heart began to beat rapidly...

Lin Zihang carried her to the sofa, sat beside her, picked up her injured leg, placed it on his thigh, and gently turned her ankle.

"Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, nothing serious, I'll go back..."

"Sit here and wait."

After saying this, Lin Zihang walked towards the west kitchen area, took out a cotton handkerchief, took ice cubes from the ice bucket of ice wine, wrapped them in the handkerchief, and then returned to Tang Xin.

He picked up her foot again, placed it on his thigh, and applied ice to her swollen ankle with a handkerchief wrapped in ice.

From beginning to end, Lin Zihang didn't look at her, as if he was only concentrating on helping her apply ice.

Tang Xin looked at Lin Zihang closely. As she looked, her nervousness and uneasiness gradually subsided, and a wave of sadness surged in her heart.

He was so close to her, yet it seemed as if there were thousands of miles between them.

How can you not feel sad when facing someone who is out of reach?

Tang Xin lowered her eyes and stopped looking at him, but she heard Lin Zihang say, "Why are you so light now? Are you still losing weight?"

She said "hmm" absentmindedly.

"You're already so thin, and you're still losing weight. Are you trying to kill yourself?"

Tang Xin glanced at him, then lowered her eyes, "Women dress up to please themselves."

Lin Zihang frowned: "If he doesn't like you because you're fat, you should break up with him as soon as possible."

Tang Xin didn't respond.

She did not lose weight deliberately, but after her hormone levels returned to normal, she also consciously changed her previous bad eating habits and stopped gaining weight.

Of course she also hopes to maintain her current appearance.

Because Lin Zihang once praised her, saying that she became more beautiful after losing weight...

So, a woman dresses up to please herself, which is her true words, but she did it not for He Shao, but for Lin Zihang...

Lin Zihang glanced at her again and said, "I actually liked you better when you were in college."

Just this one sentence made Tang Xin's vision blurred.

I really want to reply to him, “Me too.”

She also liked Lin Zihang when he was in college. Although he looked aloof at that time, he was not as distant as he is now, and he was not hard to figure out.

At that time, he didn't have a fiancée yet, so Tang Xin didn't have to feel any psychological burden by talking to him for a few more words.

They can at least get along as friends.

Unlike now, it seems that we can’t even be friends anymore…

"I didn't like myself back then. I was out of breath after climbing two floors," Tang Xin said, and tried to take the ice from him. "Let me do it myself."

Lin Zihang did not let go immediately, staring into her eyes. The two of them were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and then Lin Zihang let go.

Tang Xin quickly took her legs off his thighs.

Lin Zihang walked to the window and lit a cigarette.

Tang Xin asked, "Didn't you stop smoking before?"

He tapped the ash from his cigarette and said, "I didn't drink alcohol before, and I didn't need to take sleeping pills before bed."
