Chapter 844 - Doomed Love (2/2)

“Boss, you ordered me to break one of his legs… meaning you want to… save him?” Mo Awu was amazed.

“It is to save him from that predicament,” answered Tang Xiu. “The more he keeps robbing tombs, the more his body will be contaminated with Death Qi. He’ll die in the tomb in two months at the most.”

After saying that, Tang Xiu got off alone and entered the 5-star Senbao Hotel. Then he remembered that Zhang Xinya also checked into this hotel and somewhat felt helpless inside.

To have someone attached to him with such heavy affection was not something Tang Xiu could bear or enjoy. He couldn’t promise to give the said women a future she wanted, let alone have special preference or love for them. Rather than making Zhang Xinya have a sad and painful life in the future, he would rather opt to sever the relationship between them earlier. Thus, he already made up his mind the moment he received her phone call.

And this time, no matter how sad she would feel, he must thoroughly tell her to completely sever this doomed love and karma.

Inside the presidential suite 1208, Zhang Xinya was leaning drowsily on the sofa. On the contrary, Zhang Xiaoyu looked very energetic and fiddled with her mobile phone. There was no trace of Long Zhenglin and only his faint snore could be heard in the next room.

“Ding, dong…”

As the doorbell rang, Jin Shi quickly opened the door and looked at Tang Xiu standing outside, and hurriedly reported, “Boss, Miss Zhang is still waiting for you.”

Tang Xiu nodded in response at his report. He strode to enter the room and looked at Zhang Xinya, whose spirit immediately jolted up, whereas Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly took back her mobile phone. He nodded at them and said, “It’s so late now; you haven’t gone back to rest? We can still talk tomorrow if there’s time for that.”

Zhang Xinya strode to greet Tang Xiu, shaking her head and said, “I’m not tired; I wanted to see you quickly. I learned from Zhenglin that you came to Qinglin County specifically to buy a very important herb, right?”

“There’s a medicinal herb I want to buy indeed, but I didn’t expect that you’d come here too.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Anyways, I just saw two suspicious guys nearby when I came in. Are they your bodyguards?”

“The company did give me two bodyguards to follow me closely. But they won’t appear unless I’m in danger,” said Zhang Xinya.

“I see. But it’s too late now. Since we already met, go back and have some rest!” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Let’s talk tomorrow if you have something to say.”

“…”

Zhang Xinya’s eyes turned dark. Tang Xiu’s intention to drive her away was obvious and it made her feel a bit upset inside. Tang Xiu didn’t hide his whereabouts when she called him and she felt that he was no longer repelling her. But now, the feeling of rejection she felt from him was much more intense.

She didn’t leave and looked at Tang Xiu instead, “Don’t tell me you don’t like to see me that much?”

“It’s not that I don’t like to see you, but I just don’t want to see you,” said Tang Xiu. “You are a famous big star and the man who appears with you is bound to be noticed and paid attention to by others, thus creating a misunderstanding. You also know that I already have a girlfriend and we’ll get married in the future, so I don’t want to make her misunderstand things.”

In that instant, Zhang Xinya felt a shearing and stabbing pain in her heart. She couldn’t care less about being misunderstood by others, but looking at the apathetic and indifferent look on Tang Xiu’s face, she really wanted to tell him that she loved him so much even if he already had a girlfriend.

However, she swallowed back those words as they reached her mouth because Tang Xiu still cared about the idea even if she didn’t.

Such a situation made her really have no face to express the feelings she had inside.

Zhang Xiaoyu, who stood nearby, looked at Zhang Xinya’s upset expression along with the tears that were looming in her eyes. She immediately paced forward and loudly said, “Mr. Tang, this may be our first meeting, but I know my big sister likes you. But why do you want to hurt her heart? Do you know all the things she does all day? She speaks about you, watches your picture in a daze, and even the wallpaper on her mobile screen is you!”

“Shut up!” Though he felt apologetic, at the moment, Tang Xiu steeled his heart and scolded her, “I’m speaking to Zhang Xinya. You have no right to interrupt us.”

“I don’t have the rights to do so, indeed. But I’m angry to see my sister distressed!” Retorted back Zhang Xiaoyu angrily. “Aren’t you too cruel a man? My Sis has been waiting for you for five-plus hours here, and you drive her away right as you come back. You really have no heart!”

“Whether I’m unfeeling or not is not yours to judge,” snorted Tang Xiu and coldly said, “Leave this room immediately, else don’t blame me for throwing you out forcefully!”

“You…”

Zhang Xiaoyu was still wanting to talk back, but Zhang Xinya stopped her.

Tears were now flowing out of her eyes, but she quickly raised her hand to wipe them off. Her eyes deeply stared at Tang Xiu and she even lifted her hands to gently wipe away the traces of dust from Tang Xiu’s left shoulder, and then softly said, “If you’re tired, then we’ll go back to rest first. You can be at ease that I won’t bring any more trouble to you. Although you don’t want to accept me, my heart will still be satisfied as long as I can still see you from afar.”

After saying that, she turned around and headed to the door while enduring the pain of her broken heart.

While watching her back, Tang Xiu sighed inwardly. It was never his intention to hurt Zhang Xinya’s heart. Yet, it was something he must do. It was just like what her sister, Zhang Xinyue, said. He couldn’t give her happiness in life, so why should he hold her up? Maybe in the future, she would run into a much better man who could love her dearly.

As the women left, the next room’s door opened and Long Zhenglin stared at Tang Xiu with disbelief, though his eyes were still filled with sleepiness.

“Aren’t you… way too cruel?”

“You see, it’s not half bad for you being a bystander,” said Tang Xiu lightly.
