He did not wish to fall out with her. However, it seemed that it was impossible for them to get along harmoniously like they used to as children.
He could not bring himself to give Long Xiaoxi, whom he had always regarded as a little sister, his blessings.
That was a problem.
He was not at all worried that Zhong Minhe would mistreat her, because he knew that Zhong Minhe was indebted to Long Xiaoxi and her family. Hence, he would definitely dote on her. Jin Yiheng was certain that Long Xiaoxi must have thought about it carefully before informing her parents of her decision to get married.
Jin Yiheng stayed in the office throughout the entire morning. However, he could not stop thinking about Long Xiaoxi. He could not focus on reading the documents at all. Finally, he decided to contact Ji Gui personally and asked him for Long Xiaoxi’s mobile number.
Long Xiaoxi did not expect to receive a call from Jin Yiheng.
“What’s the matter?”
“Let’s meet.”
“What for?”
“Do you want me to look you up or would you like to meet me instead?”
Long Xiaoxi said coldly, “We can just talk over the phone. There’s no need to meet.”
“Okay.”
He ended the call and proceeded to find her current location before driving toward the address he had found.
Long Xiaoxi pondered over everything for the entire morning. She decided to give Zhong Minhe a surprise and hailed a taxi to look for him to discuss the wedding. To her astonishment, she was stopped by Jin Yiheng as soon as she arrived at Zhong Minhe’s workplace.
Not wanting to get into a scuffle with Jin Yiheng in public, she followed him to his car and questioned, “Just what do you want?”
“Are you getting married?”
She glanced at him and sneered, “Yes, are you here to congratulate me? If you are, I think you’re overreacting. We’re not exactly friends, you didn’t have to go to such great lengths.”
He remained silent and stepped on the accelerator to move the car forward slowly.
Long Xiaoxi stared at him closely, only to find that he seemed to be different from the way he was during his teenage years.
“I’m talking to you, are you deaf?”
Gripping the steering wheel tightly, he answered, “I can’t bring myself to congratulate you, so you’re reading too much into things.”
“What are you here for, then? Where are you taking me to now?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
Long Xiaoxi was filled with exasperation, clueless and at a loss for words.
She suppressed her anger and watched him drive back to Wei Ni Estate.
“What are you doing? I didn’t say that I wanted to go home.”
