Chapter 1504 - Pampering You to Bits (1) (2/2)
Despite understanding her mindset, he said, “Xiaoxi, I know you have a point, but would you be happy with that title?”
Staring at him, Long Xiaoxi answered, “Why not? I’m not snatching the title away from the other contestants who come from humble backgrounds. I’m just depriving those who pulled strings to get into the top thirty the chance of being champion. By the way, Wen Yuechan joined the contest too. She’s going to be in the top three because of her stepfather who enjoys power and authority. How else could she have gotten in?”
Zhong Minhe sighed and said, “What matters is you’re happy. I just think that this contest is no longer a battle of abilities. Instead, it’s just a competition of who has the best family background.”
Long Xiaoxi regretted telling him about the contest. She remained silent.
Noticing that she had stopped speaking, Zhong Minhe pressed his forehead against hers and said, “That’s the only thing you could do. I don’t blame you. I just find the organizer to be disgustingly immoral.”
Long Xiaoxi said, “The organizer’s daughter shares the same dormitory as me. Her name is Wang Hulu. She used to be named Wang Xizhen, but she changed it in order to leave a stronger impression on others.”
“Her original name was so much better. Her new name sounds so unrefined. There’s a fried chicken store in front. Shall we go there?”
“Alright.”
As soon as they reached the fried chicken store, Long Xiaoxi stopped in her tracks because she saw Jin Yiheng alighting from his car.
Why is he here?
She had never seen him again ever since the time that he sneaked into her room.
She refused to answer his calls or reply to his messages. Hence, she was rather surprised to see him too.
Zhong Minhe had also caught sight of Jin Yiheng. He stood beside Long Xiaoxi and waited for Jin Yiheng to walk toward them.
“Why are you here?”
“To look for you.”
“What is it that you’re looking for me for?”
“I’m here to discuss our marriage.”
“…”
Zhong Minhe stared at Long Xiaoxi in shock and asked in disbelief, “Your marriage?”
Long Xiaoxi vehemently said in denial, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. I don’t plan to marry him at all!”
“Are you not going to take responsibility for me? You kissed me and slept with me…” he said with open frankness, especially since Zhong Minhe was there.
Long Xiaoxi turned red immediately, embarrassed and infuriated. She did not expect him to say such shameless things in front of Zhong Minhe.
“Jin Yiheng!”
“Since you’re here for fried chicken with Minhe, I’ll talk to you tonight instead. I’ll be waiting for you at home.”
Watching him leave, Long Xiaoxi stomped her feet on the ground and hollered, “You jerk!”
He turned around and winked at her before leaving.
A sudden tension filled the air.
Long Xiaoxi looked at Zhong Minhe, who was looking at her too. She quickly explained, “It’s not like what he said. He sneaked into my house yesterday… and refused to leave… no…”
Finding her explanation to be a little inappropriate, she continued, “I don’t know what happened to him…”
