Chapter 316 - Chapter 316: Chapter Three-Hundred and Sixteen: (2/2)

Xi Cheng opened his mouth, but there was nothing he could say. Shi Nian pulled him away, saying, “Xi Cheng, let’s go!”

Xi Cheng got pushed out of the ward by Shi Nian. He wanted to turn back for another look at Fang Xi, but Ye Kun had pulled the bed curtains close.

Xi Cheng sat on the bench by the door, covered his face with his hands, and buried it between his knees. Shi Nian stood before him and stared, not knowing whether to comfort him or blame him.

After a long while, Xi Cheng whispered, “My mother wants me and Lin Yu to get married as soon as possible.”

Shi Nian was stunned when he heard that and then became furious. “Then why did you come to provoke Ye Kun and Fang Xi?!”

Xi Cheng lifted his head and gave Shi Nian a lost look. “But I love Fang Xi. No matter who I marry, it won’t affect my love for Fang Xi!”

“Then why don’t you marry the one you love?” Shi Nian asked coldly. Xi Cheng stilled, speechless.

Shi Nian’s sympathy for him vanished. “Don’t play Romeo if you don’t have the ability to protect her. Xi Cheng, you’re not worthy of her!”

‘ You’re not even worthy of Lin Yu,’ Shi Nian wanted to say, but in the end, he swallowed the second half of his sentence for the sake of his many years of friendship with Xi Cheng.

Xi Cheng returned home drunk as a skunk. He heard the maid say they had guests as soon as he entered the house, so he bypassed the main house areas and went straight to his room.

Lin Yu rushed over when she heard he’d returned. She helped him change his clothes as she asked the staff to make a pot of strong tea.

“I want honey water!” Xi Cheng mumbled. Fang Xi would always prepare honey water and hangover soup for him. It had been a long time since he had had that sweet and sour hangover soup.

Lin Yu quickly ordered the staff to prepare honey water and complained, “What kind of social event did you have this time to come home so drunk? The Gu family is here today to discuss Xi Feng’s matter with Mom. They want to finalize Xi Feng and Gu Fei’s marriage as soon as possible. Our aunts are all here, too, but you won’t be able to go over and greet them in your current

state. ”

Xi Cheng gave her a short hum and fell asleep on the bed. Lin Yu had no choice but to help him take off his shoes and jacket. While she did so, Xi Cheng suddenly held her hand and muttered, “Fang Xi, I was wrong. Don’t go!”

Lin Yu froze and looked at Xi Cheng, who was sleeping soundly, feeling as if something was slowly tearing a hole in her heart..
