Chapter 237 Familiar Substitute

Huo Ning didn't care about the netizens' complaints.

She yawned slightly, feeling a little sleepy, but held it back.

"Okay, I'm going to start handing out the last lucky bag of the day."

[Ahhh! I must have a share of this lucky bag! ]

[Pick me! You must pick me, please, I beg you! ]

[A group of mortals, this lucky bag must be mine! ]

System prompt: Congratulations to user [Heng] for winning a 'lucky bag'.

[Fuck, why can’t I be picked again! ]

[It’s not my turn to fall in love, but it’s also not my turn to spend money on fortune-telling! ]

[I just want to calculate when I will become rich! ]

[Well, think on the bright side. Not being able to snatch the item means you didn’t run into a ghost, which is a good thing!]

[Why do the name and profile picture of this winner look so familiar? 】

[Fuck you guys, I just visited his homepage and took a look. Guess who he is? Ahhh, he is actually Ji Heng! The president of Ji Group! ]

[There was a loud noise in the sky, and the old slave made a brilliant appearance! ]

[Master, I am the housekeeper you left behind! ]

[Didn’t the president of Jida University just break up with a certain cold and beautiful female celebrity? Could he be asking the anchor to do some ritual for his ex-girlfriend? ]

Huo Ning invited Ji Heng to have a video call.

The background behind Ji Heng is a painting, which is an authentic work of Qi Baishi.

His face was cold and hard, his cheeks were slightly thin, and there was a faint bluish-black color under his eyes. It seemed that he had not had a good sleep for many days.

The light shining down on this face added a sense of fragility.

Some netizens were so shocked that their palms trembled.

Ji Heng stretched out his slender fingers and tapped the screen a few times.

He rewarded Huo Ning with more than a dozen rockets.

"Does it mean anything to find you?"

Huo Ning moved her lips and was about to answer when Ji Heng suddenly gave another bitter smile.

He took out a photo. In the photo, a woman with chestnut curly hair was holding his hand and smiling brightly.

Countless netizens who were watching the show recognized that this woman was none other than her.

It was none other than Xu Mi, the cool and beautiful first-line female star in the entire domestic entertainment industry.

However, no one knew that this was the only photo of Xu Mi and Ji Heng together.

Ji Heng said in a bitter voice, "Please help me figure out where she is. Why is she so unwilling to give in now?"

Fans: ???

Oh shit!

Big melon!

[Oh my god, I only know that he broke up with Xu Mi, but I thought the president of Jida was tired of playing around, so he planned to find the next one. It seems that the president of Jida was abandoned! ]

[Xu Mi, you are confused. This is a big president. If you hold on to him, you will marry into a wealthy family! ]

[Wow wow wow, a female celebrity can even dump a CEO, but I am still single! I really want to fall in love! ]

[The one upstairs, can we add each other on WeChat? 】

[No, get out! ]

Ji Heng held the photo tightly in his hand until his knuckles turned blue.

He guzzled a glass of liquor.

The strong liquor goes down my throat and makes my eyes hurt.

But Ji Heng seemed not to feel it.

"I just want to know where she is. As long as you can figure out her location, you can get whatever reward you want!"

He spoke in a stubborn tone.

It's like I've decided on this person and will never look back in this life.

[Help, my eyes suddenly feel blurry. ]

[No, Xu Mi is a little too ungrateful. How could she let down such a loving man?]

[My suggestion is to eat the whole melon before you start singing. After all, men are 70% drunk and will act until you cry. ]

[I've watched the romance between him and Xu Mi. How should I put it? I didn't feel that he loved Xu Mi that much. He was always cold and indifferent to her.]

[I am the exact opposite of you. Although he doesn't talk much and has a cold attitude, he remembers everything about what Xu Mi likes to eat, what color he likes, what he is allergic to, and what he doesn't like.]

[On the other hand, Xu Mi seemed to have forgotten that he didn’t eat spicy food. When she prepared a surprise for Ji Heng, she made boiled fish, but Ji Heng kept drinking water while eating. I saw that his face turned pale at that time. He clearly didn’t eat spicy food! ]

[This couple is really interesting, I'll take a look! ]

Huo Ning also thought this couple was quite interesting.

It shouldn't be called a couple.

After all, the two have broken up.

She sighed, showing a confused expression, and asked incomprehensibly: "Don't you think of her as a substitute for your white moonlight?"

"Now that the real boss has returned, isn't it good that she, the substitute, has automatically given up her position?"

"You can put aside all your concerns and chase your love, why do you still need to ask for the address of the substitute?"

Ji Heng's expression froze for a moment.

His face turned slightly pale, his eyes were full of pain, and after a while, he said, "She is not a substitute, I have already liked her for a long time."

"It's just that I don't know."

He has always been slow in emotions.

Sometimes, we have to lose someone before we realize that we actually loved him/her deeply.

This is what is called white moonlight.

He treated Xu Mi the same way.

But when his white moonlight left him, he was not as heartbroken as he is now.

He was indeed sad when Bai Yueguang left.

But he was able to calm himself down quickly and find Xu Mi as a replacement quickly.

However, after Xu Mi left, he was unable to remain calm and look for a replacement who was somewhat like her.

He just felt as if someone had sucked out his soul, leaving him with only a shell.

【Good guy, the stand-in Wen Cheng didn’t lie to me! 】

[I thought the novel was just written for fun, but I didn't expect you guys were serious about it. There really is a stand-in thing in this world! ]

[Your white moonlight just went abroad, not dead, why did you need to find a replacement in the first place! ]

[Why do I suspect that he has liked Xu Mi for a long time, but he himself is unwilling to admit it, so he approaches her under the pretext of looking for a substitute! ]

[I can only say that you city people really know how to have fun, but the improvement is that after Xu Mi left, this guy stopped looking for a substitute. ]

[I understand this process. Under normal circumstances, the male protagonist will soon start chasing his wife to the crematorium. ]

[I even suspected that Xu Mi was pregnant with a child.]

[The stand-in heroine runs away with the ball, the president chases his wife to the crematorium, exciting! The anchor knows what I like to watch! ]

Ji Heng originally just wanted to know the whereabouts of Xu Mi, but his face turned pale after seeing these barrages.

Especially the last few.

He frowned and his eyes were a little cold. He didn't like them using Xu Mi as a source of fun.

"Xu Mi and I have always had a normal relationship. There is no such thing as what you think. It is impossible for her to leave with the child."

"From the time we fell in love to the time we broke up, we always respected each other."

Of course, he had thought about taking it a step further, but Xu Mi seemed to be somewhat resistant to this.

He also doesn't like to force others.

So far, the only things he and Xu Mi have had are hugs and kisses.
