The photo appears to have been taken secretly, as it is somewhat blurry.
Even though it was only a side profile, Yu Hengze still recognized that it was Chu Xinxin.
Jiang Zhi immediately sent over the video again.
In the video, the two are walking hand in hand. When they reach the car, Ning Xu suddenly grabs Chu Xinxin's hand and pulls her into his arms.
Grab his hand, put your arm around his waist, lower your head—all in one smooth motion.
The marketing account said that you can't master this move without practicing it hundreds of times.
The video was played on Yu Hengze's phone no less than ten times.
For some reason, he should have been happy to be away from her, but his chest felt very heavy.
It feels like losing the most important thing.
She would hug Ning Xu's waist, nestle in his arms, and ask him in a coquettish tone if his hair was wet, just like that night.
If Chu Xinxin is willing to treat someone like this forever, he thinks that person probably can't escape.
Yu Hengze couldn't stop himself from thinking about it.
The details of that night seem to replay countless times in his dreams, and he still remembers every single detail.
Long eyelashes, when illuminated by a dim bedside lamp, create shadows around the eyes, making them look obedient and serene.
The fragrance of verbena, stimulated by the warmth of her body, creates a unique scent that belongs solely to Chu Xinxin.
In the quiet bedroom, his heartbeat seemed to pulsate in sync with the rhythm of a drum.
He almost became mesmerized.
Until I saw the contract on the table.
He realized that he was nothing more than someone else's plaything, and the tenderness in his eyes returned to calm, even turning into disgust due to his inner resistance.
He loathed his relationship with Chu Xinxin, loathed that Chu Xinxin could see into the darkness in his heart, loathed that Chu Xinxin could so easily control everything about him...
On the other hand, in the dead of night, under the influence of alcohol, and facing seemingly insurmountable debts, he felt incredibly fortunate to have met Chu Xinxin.
This prevented him from sliding into the abyss.
Therefore, it is most appropriate for the two of them to stay away from each other for a while now that they are in different countries.
Yu Hengze returned to his computer and continued working.
He thought he would definitely pay off all his debts.
......
However, after that day, Chu Xinxin's messages flooded into Yu Hengze's phone.
Chu Xinxin visits Ning Xu on set.
Chu Xinxin and Ning Xu travel to an island together.
Chu Xinxin and Ning Xu went home to meet each other's parents...
It's too fast. Yu Hengze has only been in the US for two months, and everything back home seems to have changed dramatically.
"Hengze, I'm going back to China the day after tomorrow. Is it alright if you come with me?"
Yang Li needed to return to China to review some documents, so he called Yu Hengze along.
Yu Hengze paused while typing, and replied after a second: "No problem."
"You're just too hardworking." Yang Li patted him on the shoulder. "I've never seen anyone who spends all their time in the research institute. Take advantage of this trip back to China and relax for a few days."
"Um."
Finally, as if remembering something, Yang Li slapped his forehead: "Oh right, the model you made for the aerospace institute last time was very good, this is the commission they gave you."
Yang Li handed over a check.
It wasn't a lot, but it was enough for Yu Hengze to relax for a while.
......
Back to country C.
After the plane landed, Yu Hengze contacted Manager Wei first.
"Manager Wei, I'm going to your company to repay the money. I'll be there in about 40 minutes."
"Wh-what!"
The other party seemed very excited.
Are you not at the office?
"Oh right, I'm away on a business trip today. You can just transfer it to your original account."
Yu Hengze sensed something was amiss and slowly said, "I'm using a check, and... I only have these two days in City A. If you're busy, I'll go directly to your company to see General Manager Zhang."
Manager Wei was nearly going crazy on the other end of the line. It turned out that the loan company had long since closed down, and General Manager Zhang had already fled abroad. Where was she supposed to find General Manager Zhang for Yu Hengze?
"Mr. Yu, where are you now?"
"At the airport."
"What a coincidence, I'm also going to the airport."
Yu Hengze countered, "Manager Wei, do you carry the company seal with you when you travel for work?"
Manager Wei was speechless.
Yu Hengze: "Are you on a business trip with General Manager Zhang?"
Manager Wei, fearing he might say the wrong thing, could only laugh awkwardly and say that his company had moved, then gave Yu Hengze a place to go.
Yu Hengze followed the location and found it to be a very high-end office building.
Someone like Mr. Zhang, who's obsessed with money, would never be willing to rent such a high-end place.
But the seal, legal representative, and everything else match.
Before leaving, Yu Hengze glanced at their office environment and looked around to see if there were any familiar faces, but unfortunately, there weren't.
Once outside, Yu Hengze opened his phone and typed the building's name into Baidu.
The page immediately redirected.
Xinfeng Building belongs to the Chu Group.
What a coincidence!
Yu Hengze turned around and went back. The security guard thought he had forgotten to take something, so he opened the door for him.
When Yu Hengze reached the tenth floor, the elevator doors opened, and he was face to face with Chu Xinxin.
At the same time, there was also Manager Wei's voice—
"He suddenly attacked me, I was terrified. Here's a check for you..."
Chu Xinxin nudged Manager Wei, who was still saying, "I hope he didn't notice anything amiss. I'm really not good at this kind of deception..."
Are you talking about me?
Manager Wei stiffened for a moment, then turned his head with a sliver of self-deceptive hope.
Beneath Yu Hengze's calm face lay a chilling aura.
Just before the elevator doors were about to close, Yu Hengze blocked them with his hand.
He strode out, stood in front of Chu Xinxin, and took the check from Manager Wei's hand.
It's the one he just gave me.
The tiny flame, which was almost extinguished, suddenly flared up again.
"Is it fun?" Yu Hengze was furious. "Watching me grovel like a dog just to please you."
Manager Wei stepped forward to block him: "Mr. Yu, please calm down."
"I'm very calm. I haven't been this calm in a single day!"
That anger burned from my heart throughout my entire body.
Yu Hengze suddenly understood: apart from the first time, every time he left, he was always forced to return to Chu Xinxin's side by debt.
It turns out, none of this was a coincidence.
“I will return the money to you according to the contract, whether it is from the company or from an individual…” Yu Hengze’s eyes gradually turned red, and his originally cold and calm temperament became sinister and wicked: “Thank you so much, Miss Chu, for being willing to spend such a large sum of money to play this boring game with me.”
The elevator doors opened and closed, and before Chu Xinxin could say a word, Yu Hengze left.
"System, are you doing this on purpose?"
Chu Xinxin asked the system if Yu Hengze had left, and only after receiving a positive answer did she come out of the office.
Sister, when you asked me, he had already left, but who knew he would come back?
