Shan Jinxi initially thought Nangong Yi had come alone. When he heard him call out "Su Xiaoxiao" earlier, he wondered why he hadn't seen the woman.
He looked at Su Xiaoxiao squatting by the wall and unconsciously stopped in his tracks. The coldness on his face faded slightly as he squatted down in front of her.
The moment Su Xiaoxiao saw Shan Jinxi, her eyes involuntarily reddened.
But she did nothing; she simply looked at him up close.
“A good girl won’t let a scheming woman take advantage of her vulnerability, nor will she believe those baseless and absurd rumors. If my Xiaoxiao were still alive, she would immediately go over and slap Luo Yutong, even if Nangong Yi protects that woman, understand?”
After finishing his sentence, Shan Jinxi immediately stood up. Even he himself felt a little confused, wondering why he would meddle in Su Xiaoxiao's affairs and say so much.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly grabbed his trouser leg, looked up at him earnestly, and asked, "That Miss Luo just said you like the eldest daughter of the Su family, is that true?"
"She is my dearest sister and the only family member I need to protect. It's not the romantic relationship that you shallow women think you have, understand?"
"Um."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.
Of course she understands!
Her love for Shan Jinxi was the same as her love for her grandfather; there was only familial affection between them, not what Luo Yutong thought at all.
"Su Xiaoxiao, my sister did have a moment of infatuation with Nangong Yi, but that woman ruined it all. I hope you will defend your engagement and not give that kind of person another chance to take advantage of you."
What's the meaning?
Su Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback, but Shan Jinxi had already turned and left.
Did she ever have feelings for Nangong Yi?
Su Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground, recalling all her memories related to Nangong Yi.
Suddenly, as if she had just realized something, the shock in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes became clear.
It seems that she and Luo Yutong had actually met once before she met Nangong Yi.
That time, the Luo family held a coming-of-age ceremony for Luo Yutong, and the invitation card in Su Xiaoxiao's hand was personally delivered by the other party.
Su Xiaoxiao remembered that Luo Yutong seemed to have wondered if she liked Nangong Yi and wanted to be his woman. She even said that she and Nangong Yi were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but she didn't mind having a few more rivals...
"I remember now!"
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up from the ground. Because of that 'warning', when she first met Nangong Yi and saw that he was always surrounded by a group of women, she immediately classified him as someone she would refuse to associate with.
But she was certain that she had never said anything malicious or defamatory.
Moreover, she began to truly hate Luo Yutong sometime a few years ago.
She was shopping with Shan Jinxi on a French street when she got tired from walking so much that she sat down to rest at a Starbucks on the side of the road, while Shan Jinxi went to buy her dessert.
She didn't expect that Luo Yutong was there at the time. When Luo Yutong first met Shan Jinxi, she took the initiative to ask for his phone number.
But Shan Jinxi not only didn't give it to her, he didn't even glance at Luo Yutong.
Later, when Luo Yutong saw the two of them together, her eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets. She rushed over and blocked their way, constantly asking about their relationship.
Su Xiaoxiao ignored her, and Shan Jinxi completely disregarded her presence.
The phrase "I don't like this woman" was exactly what Su Xiaoxiao said that day.
"So he had always remembered."
Su Xiaoxiao unconsciously tightened her arms around herself, and an indescribable pain welled up in her heart at that moment.
"What have you always remembered?"
