Chapter 451

Zhou Yu'an's last sentence was extremely ambiguous, and Rong Rong felt a chill run down her spine.

"Let's forget about it, it's not important."

I heard that my senior knows my fiancé? That guy is so jealous. Please, senior, don't bring up the past anymore, so he doesn't feel bad.

"That was all during our young and naive student days; the senior has probably forgotten about it too."

With her sweet, soft voice and casual demeanor, Rong Rong smiled and chatted, but every word she uttered pierced Zhou Yu'an's heart.

A beautiful woman's every smile and frown is full of charm, but unfortunately, that charm is laced with poison.

The air pressure around Zhou Yu'an dropped lower and lower. He was expressionless, but a storm was gathering in his heart.

"I remember you gave me a letter, but I didn't accept it then. If I wanted it now..."

Zhou Yu'an seemed unwilling to give up, but Rong Rong decisively interrupted him, "Senior, please don't ruin your image in my heart."

The air fell silent again.

Rong Rong's words seem to reveal that she still remembers confessing her feelings to Zhou Yu'an, but they also show her determination to sever ties with him.

Zhou Yu'an didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy.

After a long silence, Zhou Yu'an slowly said, "Can you give me a chance?"

The voice was low yet heavy, resonating in everyone's heart.

When had anyone ever seen Zhou Yu'an so humble and pleading? The crowd was uneasy, but seeing Rong Rong remain completely unmoved, they were bewitched into thinking that Rong Rong had done a wonderful job!

Zhou Yu'an is not good enough for Rong Rong. It's good that Rong Rong doesn't like Zhou Yu'an. Although they are not good enough for Rong Rong either, she doesn't want Zhou Yu'an to benefit from her.

At this moment, everyone forgot that Rong Rong had just mentioned her fiancé.

People held their breath, waiting for Rong Rong's reply, and Zhou Yu'an also tensed up.

Rong Rong appeared calm, but she was actually very anxious. Just now, she had secretly sent a distress signal to Ji Hengchuan. She felt that she couldn't stay there for even a second longer.

"I'm sorry, I have a fiancé, we love each other very much, and we're getting married soon."

Rong Rong refused again.

Zhou Yu'an's eyes darkened, but he smiled and said, "Really? You two are really in love? Didn't you say you didn't care about him?"

The way Rong Rong pursued Zhou Yu'an so madly when she had a fiancé was so memorable. Zhou Yu'an was very confident that he was the one Rong Rong truly loved.

He suspected that Rong Rong's rejection of him was for a reason, and he was certain that Rong Rong did not love Ji Hengchuan.

Zhou Yu'an held a secret expectation, waiting for Rong Rong's answer. However, the door to the room was suddenly opened, and Ji Hengchuan walked in.

"Brother Chuan!" Rong Rong jumped up happily and threw herself into Ji Hengchuan's arms. "Didn't you go to order a diamond ring for me? Why are you here? Where's my diamond ring?"

Rong Rong stretched out her slender fingers, her fair and jade-like skin shimmering under the light.

Ji Hengchuan was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered and gently kissed Rong Rong's hand in his palm. "I think it's better if you choose it yourself."

A gasp filled the room, making the newcomer's identity obvious.

Zhou Yu'an's face darkened suddenly, and the others stared in disbelief, secretly marveling at how Rong Rong had rejected him.

It was obvious that Rong Rong's fiancé was in no way inferior to Zhou Yu'an, and anyone who read even a little financial news would recognize him as the chairman of Ji's Enterprise.

With outstanding looks, abilities, and family background, Rong Rong has no reason to treat Zhou Yu'an like a treasure. Moreover, Zhou Yu'an's attitude towards Rong Rong in the past was really not good.

Rong Rong and Ji Hengchuan chatted intimately, oblivious to everyone else, showing off their affection. When no one was paying attention, Rong Rong secretly winked at Ji Hengchuan.

This person is truly a great teammate; Rong Rong never expected that he would appear right in front of her so soon after she sent the message.

Ji Hengchuan responded to Rong Rong with a smile. Of course, he knew the hotel where Rong Rong was having her party and followed her there directly.

He originally planned to take Rong Rong home, but after seeing Rong Rong's message, he couldn't wait to barge into their private room where they were having a party.

Rong Rong wanted to leave quickly, so she stepped out of Ji Hengchuan's arms and apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, she pulled Ji Hengchuan away without glancing at Zhou Yu'an or waiting for anyone else's reply. It was as if she were just going through the motions. Her greeting was just her politeness, but she didn't care about anyone.

The two left with an air of nonchalance, unaware of how oppressive the private room became after they left.

As soon as they stepped out of the hotel, Rong Rong let go of Ji Hengchuan's hand.

Ji Hengchuan felt a little regretful; he wished that what Rong had said in the private room was true.

He was happy to take Rongrong to choose a diamond ring.

After that, news spread that Rong Rong and Ji Hengchuan were about to get engaged, and Zhou Yu'an finally fell silent.

This relieved Rong Rong. From her own perspective, and from the fact that Zhou Yu'an was the person the original owner truly loved, Rong Rong didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Yu'an.

Rong Rong's life returned to peace, and her parents were happy to see Rong Rong and Ji Hengchuan's relationship develop steadily.

Ji Hengchuan's parents lived abroad for many years. Upon hearing that Rong Rong had woken up, they immediately rushed back from abroad to visit her.

Originally, Ji's mother thought that her son was using Rong's daughter as a shield because he didn't want to get married, but after meeting Rong Rong, she realized that her son was really head over heels in love with her.

Ji's mother felt extremely ashamed and guilty for constantly urging her son to get married while Rong Rong was in a vegetative state.

She dared not say these things out loud, but wanted to make up for Rong Rong's mistake, so she went on a shopping spree for Rong Rong, her actions astonishing the entire high society and making a group of socialites and heiresses envious.

However, people are used to it. Rong Rong herself has so many enviable qualities. Such a top goddess deserves to be pampered in any way.

Now that everyone knew about Rong Rong and Ji Hengchuan's relationship, Rong Rong reduced the number of times she visited Ji Hengchuan, spending more time on her personal life and making many new friends.

Rongrong and her friend went to a beauty spa and slept there all afternoon before leaving for dinner.

Rongrong's friend wanted to keep her company for dinner, but she refused, saying she had agreed to spend the day with her mother.

Her friend left helplessly, and Rongrong got into the car when the driver arrived.

The person had just sat down and hadn't even turned around when they were plunged into darkness.

She didn't know how much time had passed before Rong Rong woke up groggily.

I found myself lying on a soft, large bed.

Her clothes were neat and her body looked normal, but the bedroom she was in looked cold and inexplicably frightening.
