"good."
He Lingchuan agreed, squinting as he glanced around: "You wait, once I've saved up enough money, I'll pay you all back together."
When will you be able to save enough money?
The man looked at He Lingchuan with displeasure, demanding an explanation from him right now.
He Lingchuan spread his hands, his tone helpless: "One year? Two years? Maybe we won't be able to save up that much in our lifetime. You just wait and see."
Even in front of Shen's mother, He Lingchuan lost his patience.
He didn't even look at the people around him, turned around and left, leaving the Shen family and their relatives looking at each other in bewilderment.
He Lingchuan didn't know how they finally resolved the issue. He tossed and turned, his mind preoccupied with those two hundred million.
This whole thing started because of him. If he hadn't insisted on getting justice for the child, the Shen family wouldn't have lost so much money.
He really should find a way to make amends. He Lingchuan tossed and turned in bed, thinking about who to borrow some money from, when he heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.
He Lingchuan's first thought was of Shen's unreasonable relatives.
He pretended not to hear it, and only opened his eyes when the knocking gradually disappeared.
Just as he was about to get up, he heard the sound of a key turning in the lock.
When Shen Yanxi entered, He Lingchuan had just closed his eyes.
Are you asleep?
Shen Yanxi spoke gently, and He Lingchuan felt inexplicably at ease upon hearing her voice.
She sat by He Lingchuan's bedside, her gaze intense, and He Lingchuan could clearly feel her intensity.
"Don't take what they said today to heart. I'll handle it myself. You don't need to pay for this money, including the school's expenses. I'll cover them myself."
Shen Yanxi spoke gently; He Lingchuan had never heard her speak to him in such a tone before.
He Lingchuan still didn't open his eyes; he couldn't believe that Shen Yanxi would be so gentle.
After waiting for a long time, she didn't hear Shen Yanxi's blame. Instead, she placed her hand on her forehead and gently stroked it.
Hearing Shen Yanxi get up, He Lingchuan thought she was leaving and breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to open his eyes, he found his lips covered in a warm substance.
Shen Yanxi actually... actually stole a kiss from him while he was sleeping?
He Lingchuan frowned. His movements were subtle and difficult to see in the darkness, but Shen Yanxi still sensed that something was wrong.
She sat up abruptly, looking startled: "You, you weren't asleep? Or did you just wake up?"
"Weren't those things you just said meant for me?"
He Lingchuan touched his lips and casually grabbed a coat to put on.
Shen Yanxi stared at him blankly, speechless.
He Lingchuan raised an eyebrow and asked her, puzzled, "I really don't understand what you mean. You divorced me to be with another man, and now you're kissing me behind his back."
He Lingchuan touched his lips: "You want to have your cake and eat it too?"
He glanced at the slightly ajar door and vaguely saw a familiar figure. He Lingchuan chuckled and deliberately asked Shen Yanxi, "Aren't you afraid Zhou Mingyan will find out that you and I are still having an affair?"
"What do you mean by 'still connected even after being severed'? We were never really cut off, were we?"
Shen Yanxi couldn't help but think of their two tender moments before. She raised her head and asked, "Do you dare say you've completely forgotten me?"
She was acting like a little girl vying for attention, eager to know her place in He Lingchuan's heart.
He Lingchuan became increasingly puzzled. He raised his head, recalling the two incidents after their divorce, and said softly, "Those were accidents, they don't prove anything."
Shen Yanxi's eyes widened immediately: "He Lingchuan, you need to take responsibility for your words. If it were Cao Xue, could you also say it was an accident?"
She grabbed He Lingchuan's collar with both hands, looking hurt: "He Lingchuan, you've been too cruel to me."
He Lingchuan raised an eyebrow and laughed disdainfully: "I'm cruel to you? You have the nerve to say that."
He Ling didn't want to argue with him about these things. He pointed to the door, his expression icy: "Get out of here now. I will give your Shen family every penny that is due, and I will not take more than what is not due."
Shen Yanxi stood frozen in place, staring blankly at He Lingchuan: "Are you sure?"
She raised her head, her haughty demeanor making people dare not approach her.
"Sure."
Shen Yanxi took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and her eyes gradually turned cold.
She stared at He Lingchuan's face with disdain: "You'll regret this. You can't possibly come up with a hundred million on your own."
"I'll figure it out myself, you don't need to worry about it."
After saying this, He Lingchuan opened the door for Shen Yanxi.
He Lingchuan opened the door so suddenly that the person outside stumbled and almost fell in front of him.
Shen Yanxi was startled and looked at him somewhat guiltily: "Mingyan?"
Zhou Mingyan rubbed his lower back, his eyes were moist, his lips trembled, and his eyes were full of pain: "Xixi, what is your relationship with him? Why did you kiss him just now?"
Faced with Zhou Mingyan's questioning, Shen Yanxi felt inexplicably guilty.
She stepped forward and put her hand on Zhou Mingyan's shoulder, trying to explain, but he pushed her hand away: "Xixi, I saw everything."
Zhou Mingyan knew that Shen Yanxi was feeling guilty, so he deliberately pretended to be heartbroken.
He deliberately smeared Shen Yanxi: "Actually, you haven't forgotten He Lingchuan at all, have you? I'm just a tool you use to make He Lingchuan angry."
His eyes were sharp, filled with resentment as he looked at Shen Yanxi: "Xixi, I love you so much, how could you treat me like this?"
"I didn't, don't listen to his nonsense."
Shen Yanxi stepped forward anxiously, grasped Zhou Mingyan's hand, and urgently explained to him, "It was an accident just now, it was him..."
Shen Yanxi pointed at He Lingchuan: "He suddenly leaned in, and we didn't kiss. Don't misunderstand."
"Is it really him?"
Zhou Mingyan looked at Shen Yanxi with some doubt, but her eyes were firm: "Yes, you misunderstood us."
Zhou Mingyan grabbed Shen Yanxi's shoulders and looked her in the eye: "Xixi, I believe you, but I don't want it to happen again."
Seeing that he didn't blame him, Shen Yanxi nodded hurriedly. He pushed Zhou Mingyan's shoulder, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
Zhou Mingyan grabbed Shen Yanxi's hand and looked up at He Lingchuan: "Wait, I have something to say to Mr. He."
He frowned and walked up to He Lingchuan, warning him, "Mr. He, could you please stop bothering Xixi?"
He Lingchuan spread his hands, his smile cold: "Zhou Mingyan, weren't you eavesdropping outside the whole time? Did you see me get up? Did you hear me speak? From beginning to end, it was Shen Yanxi who took the initiative; I didn't even open my eyes."
He Lingchuan looked at Shen Yanxi with a cold smile: "Since you got together with Zhou Mingyan, your ability to lie has really gotten stronger and stronger."
Worried that Zhou Mingyan would be angry, Shen Yanxi blurted out in a moment of panic, "Don't talk nonsense. It was clearly you who seduced me."
