"It's okay, you don't need to apologize to me. You didn't do anything wrong."
“We’ve just met by chance. You don’t owe me anything. I told you about the gold rush spot just casually. You don’t need to feel guilty.”
"Whether you lie to me or not is your own business and has nothing to do with me. It's perfectly reasonable for you not to tell me, so you don't need to feel guilty."
"To be honest, I was just too curious that time. I kept asking you what you found. I don't know what came over me. I was just being rude."
"To be honest, the problem lies with me."
"We two weren't really related to each other, we weren't even friends..."
Xia Yingying gave a self-deprecating laugh and tried to pull her hand back, but Chen Feng held on tightly.
Every word she said was like a whip, torturing Chen Feng's heart.
"Please, stop talking. It was my fault, I was wrong, okay?" Chen Feng grabbed Xia Yingying's wrists with both hands, bent over and pressed his forehead against hers.
Chen Feng's distress at this moment was like wanting to save a kitten, giving it water, only to have it die after you've given it water.
You meant well, but you later discovered that the cat can't drink water anymore; it would die if it did. You meant well but did the wrong thing, and now you're standing there feeling terrible and helpless.
Xia Yingying was already suffering so much every day, and I had unintentionally bullied her so badly.
I'm so damn damned!
"What are you doing? Don't be like this. Why are you acting like you've done something heinous?" Xia Yingying looked at Chen Feng and chuckled, somewhat helplessly.
"That's really not what I meant. I didn't mean to lie to you," Chen Feng said earnestly, holding Xia Yingying's wrist.
"I know, um." Xia Yingying nodded, agreeing with him.
"Ah..." Chen Feng was really about to collapse. If this continued, he would have to sit up in the middle of the night and slap himself twice. He was such a terrible person.
"Okay, okay, I still need to cook, let me go." Xia Yingying struggled a bit and said.
"I won't let you go unless you forgive me," Chen Feng said resolutely, looking at Xia Yingying.
"I already forgave you..." Xia Yingying said helplessly, spreading out her other hand.
"You weren't being sincere!" Chen Feng said, extremely annoyed.
"I'm being sincere..." Xia Yingying sighed, rubbing her forehead. What do you want from me?
"Don't doubt my eyes, I can tell whether you truly forgive me or not." Chen Feng said with a serious face.
"Brother, I've never heard of anyone forcing another person to genuinely forgive them. How can I forgive you for you to accept it? Shall I kowtow to you?"
Xia Yingying had never seen anyone so shameless. She was shocked. Forgiveness should be sincere. Who should apologize to whom?
"Come out with me." Chen Feng pulled Xia Yingying and walked outside.
"Hey, what are you doing? I'll go with you, but can you let go of me first?" Xia Yingying was being pulled forward by him. She tried to break free but to no avail, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Who is this person?!
"No, what if you run away?" Chen Feng said firmly.
“My home is right here, where am I supposed to go, brother?” Xia Yingying said helplessly.
When Lin Nian saw Chen Feng come out, he first reached out to greet him with a sly look, wanting to show him the photos, but then he saw Xia Yingying being pulled by him.
He immediately changed his expression, stood at attention, and even stood in front of the back box, which was right under the bed behind him, looking guilty.
"Lin Nian, take the things out and show them to her," Chen Feng said directly.
"What...thing?" Lin Nian blinked, thinking he had misheard, and pretended to be stupid.
"Show her that gold nugget worth over a million," Chen Feng said bluntly.
Xia Yingying was stunned when she heard this. What? More than a million?
"Brother, is this okay..." Lin Nian asked hesitantly.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of. From now on, there will be no secrets to keep from her," Chen Feng said solemnly.
"Tell me everything?" Lin Nian said in disbelief.
"Yes, tell her everything. We were wrong before, we shouldn't have lied to Xia Yingying. I made a mistake." Chen Feng said, glancing at Xia Yingying, who blinked, her eyes still filled with shock.
She hasn't recovered from losing over a million dollars yet.
"Tell her everything? So you told her about going to the bathhouse and the technician number 34 too?" Lin Nian said, somewhat bewildered.
What happened? Why did Brother Feng suddenly change like this less than ten minutes after he went in?
"Why the hell are you bringing this up!" Chen Feng almost wanted to kick Lin Nian. How could you not see the right timing?
Xia Yingying was both amused and exasperated by what she heard; what did this all mean?
"If it's just a massage, quickly take out the gold and show it to her."
Chen Feng didn't forget to explain to Xia Yingying, and then asked Lin Nian to take out the gold nuggets.
Xia Yingying pursed her lips, expressing doubt about what he said, but still looked at Lin Nian's figure as he bent down and entered the carriage.
Lin Nian quickly pulled out the large piece of gold, and Xia Yingying's eyes widened instantly when she saw it.
"It's so big! Did you really find this near the mining site?" Xia Yingying exclaimed in surprise.
Even she had never seen such a large gold nugget.
"This morning's haul is genuine." Chen Feng finally released Xia Yingying's wrist and gestured for her to take a good look.
"How much is this piece of gold worth?" Xia Yingying couldn't help but ask as she approached.
Upon hearing this, Lin Nian subconsciously looked at Chen Feng, who immediately said, "Why are you looking at me? Just say it directly."
"Oh, this piece of gold weighs nearly seventeen pounds. I just calculated it, and its value should be around two million six hundred thousand," Lin Nian answered honestly.
"Two hundred and sixty?" Chen Feng gasped when he heard the number.
I thought it was only a little over two hundred, but I never expected this piece of gold to be worth two million six hundred thousand!
Good heavens, this one piece is worth more than all his previous harvest over a long period of time.
"Seventeen catties of gold is indeed very rare. You are very lucky." Xia Yingying nodded and then turned to walk back towards the villa.
"But what does that have to do with me?"
That's what she said, but Xia Yingying left with a slight smile on her lips; she said it on purpose.
"Hey, hey, hey." Seeing this, Chen Feng grabbed Xia Yingying's hand and quickly came to her side.
"What are you doing now?" Xia Yingying asked Chen Feng, her smile fading.
"I've seen the gold, and I have nothing left to lie to you about. Can you truly forgive me this time?" Chen Feng asked.
"I've already forgiven you," Xia Yingying said casually, and was about to go back to washing vegetables.
"Big sister, please don't do this, okay?" Chen Feng was completely begging for mercy.
Xia Yingying, who had been pulled back, looked at Chen Feng's face, stood still, and smiled slightly. Her tone was no longer as indifferent as before, and she spoke softly.
"I truly forgive you this time."
