C9 (2/2)

”If you want to argue again, then scram!” She lifted her hair irritably. The two people at the door immediately quieted down.

”What is it?”

Chen Ang looked at Zhong Zhen, of course he knew what he meant, but he did not have the mind to reply, ”If you have something to say, then say it, and scram.”

Zhong Zhen looked at the domineering face of the goddess with a face full of worship, making Chen Ang even more embarrassed. He coughed dryly, ”You … ”My father came to see me last night.” With that, he looked at Xia Ying and did not finish her words.

Xia Ying had long been helpless, she sighed, then said to Chen Ang: ”Let's talk in the study room.”

Chen Ang turned and glanced at Zhong Zhen, the disdain in his eyes made Zhong Zhen flustered and exasperated. This was not a good person either, how could he let the goddess be with him alone? If he wanted to follow them, Xia Ying would definitely forbid it, so he could only wait for the two to enter, before sneaking in.

”Speak, why is he looking for you?” What are you looking for me for? ”

”He is nothing but money. Xiao Ying, has it been like this all these years? Why didn't you tell me? I can also help you think of a way! ” Xia Ying looked at the sincere Chen Ang in front of her. No matter if it was true love or false intentions, she was unwilling to believe it.

Facts have proven that softhearted people will not end up well, and mother is the best example.

”There's no need.”

”Don't be like this, weren't we fine before? You can even forget? I don't believe it! ”

”You said it was the first time. It's all in the past now.” Don't make it too ugly, okay? I don't have the mood to talk about this right now. Xia Ying pointed to the door.

”Xiao Ying, your father said he wanted to destroy you. I don't know why the two of you are acting this way, but I can't just ignore his words. ”Believe me once more. This time, I will help you settle this matter once and for all.”

”Humph!” How was he going to deal with it? You killed him? ”It would be better to just kill me. If you kill me, no one will give him money, and he will just die.”

As Chen Ang looked at Xia Ying's dark circles, he could guess that she must have not slept for the entire night. This father of hers knew this in the past, but he didn't expect that after not seeing his for two years, Xia Teng had actually restrained himself and become even more serious.

”Chen Ang, I said that I do not need anyone to help me with these things, I did not use them in the past, and I do not use them now either. I can't guess at your selfishness, and I don't want to. ”

”Yes, I have my own selfish thoughts. I love you. Can't I accept such selfishness?” Chen Ang grabbed Xia Ying's hand, ”I was really wrong, Xiao Ying! Xiao Ying. ”

”Let go.” Xia Ying could not shake off those hands, ”I told you to let go!”

Zhong Zhen really could not hold it in, he smashed the door and rushed in, grabbing Xia Ying and protecting him behind him, ”Scram!” It only spoke one word to Chen Ang, and it was extremely vicious, and that was in an manner that even Xia Ying had never seen before.

Xia Ying stood behind him in an unexpected silence. She felt that her reliance at this moment was extremely real.

Sometimes, the dependence on a person is inexplicable. In that moment, all of his defenses collapsed, all the grievances and resentment accumulated over the years rolled over and over, Xia Ying himself did not realise, and in an instant, tears filled his entire face.

Chen Ang wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He could only lonely walk out of the villa and into the trash can. Inside lay the gift he had given her. It turned out that his heart had been trampled over like this.

But he still couldn't bear to put it down.

Back then, when he independent from his family, he really needed that contract to solidify his position. Only then would he be foolish enough to sacrifice Xia Ying in exchange for some achievements in her career. But she was truly wrong. Even after two years, she was still unable to put it down.

This time, no matter what, he had to give it his all.

Zhong Zhen who was in the room turned around and looked at Xia Ying. He reached out to wipe the tears on Xia Ying's face and asked softly, ”Leave it to me. Leave everything to me. Xia Ying's shoulders drooped, but when he heard what his follower said, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him.

This person did not seem simple on the surface, but she could not see through him. She was too tired to believe this person in front of her, and her mind was in a mess.

She was afraid to rely on it, because everything she got was risky and nothing was indestructible. The feeling of having someone wait right after she turned around was simply too wonderful. She was afraid that she would be attached to someone and want more. So for a long time, I'd rather not have anything. This was the safest way.

Thinking about how he was so young, he sat on the swing in the setting sun, swaying. Not far away were aunties buying vegetables and picking up children, and the old grandpa downstairs was playing chess in the pavilion. The wind was also warm and itchy.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt that he was being gently embraced by someone. He could vaguely hear the person who should have called out 'daddy' laughing as he said, ”This girl can't hold on any longer and fell asleep.”

And now, everything was fake. At this moment, she couldn't help but say to the person in front of her, ”I really want to borrow your shoulder.”
