She really underestimated their feelings.
Xia Tian was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice when Li Li came in. When she came to her senses, she was slapped hard in the face by Li Li again.
Before she came, Li Li had already slapped her many times. Her face was swollen and painful. Not long after, Li Li slapped her again. She grimaced in pain. "Li Li, the show is over, why are you still hitting me?"
Li Li: "I asked you to come here just to see how the prince feels about Xingchen now. Who told you to say those hurtful words on your own initiative?"
Xia Tian covered his face and laughed disdainfully: "Am I wrong? That bitch Xia Xingchen is not worthy of the prince at all. I was just telling the truth."
Li Li warned: "This is their business, there's no point in you being jealous."
After he finished speaking, Xia Tian suddenly stared at Li Li intently, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Li Li felt uncomfortable being stared at by Xia Tian, "What are you looking at?"
Xia Tian: "I pretended to be Xia Xingchen for so long before, and Gong Bingye saw through me every time. But just now, Gong Bingye actually mistook me for Xia Xingchen. I can't believe you know Xia Xingchen so well, don't you? You even fooled Gong Bingye."
"At first, I was worried about being discovered by Gong Bingye. If I had known this would happen, it would have been great if we formed an alliance. Then, I would be the CEO's wife and you would be the top star. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"
Li Li raised her eyes and spat at her fiercely, "Dream on! Even if I die, I won't get involved with someone like you. Even if you act like her, you're not her after all."
Xia Tian snorted coldly and threatened: "Anyway, my part has been played. I hope you don't break your promise, otherwise I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
After saying that, Xia Tian left.
Li Li stood there, holding the phone tightly in her hand, but thinking in her heart: Xingchen, I hope this can help you.
Late at night, when she got home, the little beggar still had dinner prepared for her. Even though she told the little beggar many times not to wait for her, the little beggar still waited.
While eating, Li Li asked tentatively: "Little Mute, do you have a boyfriend?"
The little beggar's eyes were evasive and her long eyelashes were fluttering. She was stunned for only a second and then continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
Li Li turned around and continued, "You've been missing for so long, isn't your boyfriend worried? If I were you, I would run to him right now."
The little beggar ate quietly, as if he didn't hear what Li Li said.
Li Li didn't force her to give her an answer. Instead, she grabbed her hand and said sincerely, "If you ever want to see him, be sure to tell me and I will personally take you there."
The little beggar looked at her without any reaction.
It was not until she finished her meal and returned to her bedroom and lay on the bed that an irresistible longing suddenly overwhelmed her whole body.
Two days later, the little beggar who was drinking tea in the yard suddenly heard a knock on the door. She subconsciously checked the time on her mobile phone. It was ten o'clock in the morning. Father and Mother Li had not yet gotten off work at this time. Who could be knocking on the door?
The little beggar got up and opened the door. The moment the door was opened, the little beggar was shocked and stood there.
The person who came was... Gong Bingye.
When Gong Bingye saw the little beggar, he felt his scalp tingling. He deeply felt that the person standing in front of him at this moment was his own girl.
"Girl, are you okay?" Gong Bingye's eyes suddenly became moist. Seeing the girl again now, he felt as if he was in another world.
Xia Xingchen looked at him steadily without saying a word, but her eyes spoke louder than a thousand words.
The two of them just stared at each other without saying anything.
The eyes fight and collide, silence is better than words!
It was unknown how long it took before Xia Xingchen realized that the scar on her face had not healed yet. Even though she was wearing a white mask, she subconsciously covered her face.
She couldn't let Gong Bingye see her like this!
Absolutely not! ?
The next second, Xia Xingchen knocked Gong Bingye's shoulder away and ran out.
"Girl, girl!" Gong Bingye hurried to look for her, but was stopped by Li Li who followed not far away. "Don't chase her, let her be alone for a while."
She thought that if Xingchen hadn't had the scar on her face that hadn't healed, she would have returned to the prince long ago.
Gong Bingye stopped and looked at Li Li who was walking towards him. His tone was very gentle, "Thank you for telling me the whereabouts of the girl."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to see the girl until now.
Li Li pursed her lips and said, "You are all my friends. It is my duty to help you."
Gong Bingye: "Can you tell me how you found the girl?"
So, Li Li told Gong Bingye everything about her encounter with Xia Xingchen.
After hearing all this, Gong Bingye felt as if his heart was being yanked tightly together. He was so distressed that his eyes unconsciously turned red. A terrifying aura emanated from him, which made people shudder.
Although he only heard what Li Li said, he could empathize with everything Xia Xingchen had experienced.
It took him a long time to calm himself down. He said to Li Li, "I heard that you went to Gongxia to see me a few days ago. I believe you know Gongxia's current situation. Please help me keep it a secret from the girl. If she asks, just say you know nothing."
The girl was already covered in bruises, and he didn't want to worry about her.
Speaking of Gongxia, Li Li couldn't help but ask, "Will Gongxia's crisis be resolved soon?"
Gong Bingye nodded firmly, "I will."
He won't let Gong Bingyu be proud for too long.
Li Li agreed, "Okay, I understand."
"And... I have to ask you a favor." Gong Bingye continued.
Li Li: "What's the matter?"
Gong Bingye: "Please take good care of the girl for me. She will be safer living with you than in the palace."
The girl is wearing a mask now and doesn't go out all day, so Gong Bingyu's people shouldn't find this place.
"I know Xingchen is my best friend. Don't worry, I will take good care of her." Li Li promised.
*
After Xia Xingchen ran out of Li Li's house, she walked forward aimlessly. She thought about many things while walking. She did not return to Li Li's house until night fell.
After Gong Bingye left, Li Li began to worry about Xia Xingchen. It was not until night fell and she opened the door and saw Xia Xingchen that she felt relieved.
"Xingchen, you are finally back. I thought you would not come back." Li Li couldn't help but hug Xia Xingchen.
Xia Xingchen patted her back gently, "Silly girl, with you here, why wouldn't I come back?"
Hearing the long-lost voice, Li Li was so moved that tears filled her eyes, and she hugged Xia Xingchen even tighter.
