Chapter 1189 - Xiao Yi Said Nothing (1/2)
Almost at the moment Xia Yanran left, Zhen Mi was pushed away by Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi used so much strength that Zhen Mi could not react in time and was almost pushed to the ground by Xiao Yi.
Touching her nose, Zhen Mi gave a look that showed her good intentions were being unappreciated and said, “Your skill of kicking someone to the curb when they’ve outlived their usefulness is really impressive. But, I really don’t understand you. Since you like Miss Xia so much, why did you ask me to put on a show here with you and make her misunderstand and be unhappy?”
Xiao Yi didn’t speak.
Zhen Mi looked at Xiao Yi and found that his expression was very dark, and there was a frosty and menacing look in his eyes.
“You’re unhappy because Miss Xia left?”
Xiao Yi stood up from the sofa and walked to the french windows, taking out a cigarette from the cigarette box and putting it between his lips.
Perhaps too many misunderstandings and separation had caused him to have some doubts and left a scar in this relations.h.i.+p.
He truly did want to reconcile with her and spend the rest of his life with her. But he was afraid that she would not trust him or leave him because of some kind of misunderstanding in the future.
After thinking about it, he decided to use Zhen Mi to test her.
If she could trust him wholeheartedly this time, and ask him directly or listen to his explanation even when she saw something questionable, he would put down the grudge in his heart.
But she was still the same as before.
When something happened, she would leave without a word of doubt and sentence him to death directly.
A relations.h.i.+p with no trust was doomed not to go far. Even if he got back together with her today, there would be conflicts over trust issues in the future.
Xiao Yi closed his eyes and a sense of helplessness and exhaustion spread out from deep within his heart. He wanted to persist in this relations.h.i.+p, but reality made him wonder how to continue…
“Huh? Didn’t you leave already?” Zhen Mi’s voice drifted into his ears.
Xiao Yi turned and found that the woman he thought had left was standing at the door of the office. The blood that was almost frozen in his body suddenly became lively again.
She didn’t leave.
She didn’t leave!
Xia Yanran looked at Xiao Yi who was standing in front of the french windows and then at Zhen Mi who was sitting on the sofa.
When she saw that scene just now, she was stunned and did intend to escape and flee as quickly as she could. But when she reached the elevator, she gradually calmed down.
It had been so many years, did she still not know Xiao Yi’s character? If he wanted to have an affair or be ambiguous with another woman, would he still give her chance to stay by his side?
No matter when, he had never lacked women around him.
If he really was interested in Zhen Mi, he would have gone to the hotel with Zhen Mi, plus why would he have slept with her last night?
Besides, she had recalled carefully that from her angle, the two of them looked like they were kissing, but Xiao Yi’s hand was not on Zhen Mi’s body and Zhen Mi did not snuggle in Xiao Yi’s arms.
She was a reporter and it was not like she was unaware about the questionable nature of angles.
On second thought, this time, from when she came into the lobby, the front desk did not ask her to register like the other time and let her go find Xiao Yi directly.
It must be Xiao Yi who had given the order. He knew she would be coming, but was still behaving intimately with another woman in front of her?
If she showed the smartness and competence she had in her work, she would not be so foolish in her relations.h.i.+p. But it was because of a woman’s sensitivity and overthinking that caused misunderstandings.
Of course, she also understood that this misunderstanding was caused by Xiao Yi on purpose.
She had worn down his trust for her.
He dared not make promises to her easily. He was afraid that his promises would become a joke in front of her.
At this moment, Xia Yanran really understood how badly she had hurt him.
