Chapter 72 - Distress (1/2)

Although Xie Jingyu had never before taken any notice of Bai Lian's feelings towards him, it did not mean that Yu Huiyin did not notice.

The moment she entered, she saw the hostility in the eyes of Bai Lian, and she could easily guess why. This woman was trying to rob her of her husband!

The more she thought about it, the more she frowned. While Yu Huiyin was clearly unhappy, Bai Lian was feeling unhappy too. How could Xie Jingyu get married so fast? How could he possibly like such a woman like this one, who had nothing but her appearance.

While these two were thinking their own thoughts, Xie Jingyu was puzzled. Why was Yu Huiyin suddenly so unhappy? His heart was beating rapidly, and he felt guilty for no reason. He had done nothing wrong or nothing out of the ordinary, so why had she become mad at him?

Seeing his clueless expression, Yu Huiyin felt that she had gotten enough. He did not even know that this woman had ulterior motives by being close to him, but he still allowed her to be alone with him in the office.

Thinking like this, Yu Huiyin was aware that she was jealous, but she could not control her jealousy. All she wanted was to leave. She was not willing to get sad because of a man.

”Since you and Miss Bai are busy, I will let you be alone.”

Yu Huiyin's voice was filled with sarcasm, and even Xie Jingyu could sense that something was really wrong.

”Huiyin, darling, please don't be like this,” Xie Jingyu said gently as he stood up and looked at her with puppy-like pleading eyes. ”Come here.”

Yu Huiyin looked away from him, she was feeling distraught, and from this, she could easily understand the degree of liking she had taken to this man.

But this made her even more eager to leave. She had to get control of her thoughts and understand exactly what to do from now on. It was only last night that she realized that Xie Jingyu liked her, but already today, she was full of an unreasonable jealousy.

Seeing her not even wanting to look at him, Xie Jingyu panicked slightly. ”Bai Lian, leave for now,” he said before he rose from the chair and hurried to Yu Huiyin's side.

Here, without even waiting for Bai Lian to leave, he hurriedly wrapped his arms around Yu Huiyin and dragged her into a warm embrace. ”Dearest, don't feel sad. What have I done? You can scold me or hit me, but don't ignore me.”

Yu Huiyin looked at him. He was so kind to her, so sweet and so loving. How could she possibly not fall for such a man?

Tears welled up in her eyes, as she thought about how the only loved ones she had so far were her grandfather and her brother. Her mother had died; her father abandoned her.
