Chapter 71 - The One Xinyi Likes (1/2)
”Aunt! Where is the video that you sent me?” Zizi came rushing to Han Guang.
Han Mingli frowned. ”What do you mean? Didn't you show it to Zhiyuan yet?”
She gritted her teeth. ”How do I show? I was about to but then it suddenly erased from my phone. Even from our chat history!”
Han Guang was shocked. ”What?”
She checked her WeChat and video folder, but just like Zizi, there was no trace of that video she recorded.
Han Mingli asked, ”It's still there, right?”
Han Guang was stupefied. ”No...How can it be possible? I saved it on phone but now it's not there!”
Zizi and Han Mingli widened their eyes.
Zizi said, ”Even from your phone too? How is this possible?”
Han Guang clenched the phone in her hands. ”I don't know what happened but it got erased!”
Han Mingli cursed. ”Damn it! That was our chance to make Zhiyuan go against Xinyi. What will we do now?”
Zizi cried. ”Aunt. Bro refused to believe me. He is still blindly trusting that Xinyi!”
Han Guang took a deep breath. ”Don't worry. I sent the video to Caihong too and she has seen it. That Xinyi...she must have got a whiff about it and did something to delete the video from our phones!”
She smirked. ”But it's alright because Caihong has seen it. Do you think she would stay quiet after listening to their confession?”
Han Mingli nodded. ”Caihong wouldn't tolerate this. She would definitely confront Xinyi.”
Zizi cautiously asked, ”Do you really think so?”
”Of course. And once she tells the truth to Zhiyuan, he will have to believe her. He may not believe us, but he would surely trust Caihong's words. If she said that she saw the confession, then Zhiyuan would have no choice.”
”We have to just wait for the drama to unfold,” she sneered.

In their room, Zhiyuan saw Xinyi sleeping on the bed with Siying and Chyou. Siying slept on her left side while Chyou on her right.
He softly chuckled.
As he stared at her sleeping face, he wondered once again if she ever liked any guy in college?
The question made him curious and he didn't know why, but a little nervous too.
Zhiyuan saw that their bags from the cruise were still packed. He thought to put back everything in place to reduce Xinyi's work.
He quickly sorted out the stuff and quietly unpacked and arranged all the things back in their room. At the bottom of the bag almost hidden in a corner, he found one book.
Wait, this seems like Xinyi's diary.
He remembered the day Siying had pointed it out and shown it to him. The diary almost slipped from his hands but he quickly caught it.
Phew.
His sight fell onto a page that got flipped open. In it, he could partially read a sentence.
'... realized that I fell in love with him.'
Zhiyuan rapidly blinked his eyes. He read it again and again.
He was just thinking about it and here he already got the proof.
This was Xinyi's diary so every sentence written was her thoughts and feelings in her handwriting.
So it's true. Xinyi did like someone…
He silently clutched the diary in his palm.
Who was he?
Zhiyuan stared at Xinyi's sleeping face and felt conflicted. But he was confused too. There were too many emotions swirling in his heart that he couldn't understand.
Naturally, he had an urge to read her diary and know more about the guy, but his principles didn't let him. A diary was a personal belonging, and it was wrong to invade someone's privacy.
He felt helpless and quietly put it back in her drawer.
In the evening, Liang and Ah Cy came to pick Leina. Since it was already dinner time, Xinyi asked them to join as well.
Liang asked, ”What happened to my dear princess? You look in a bad mood.”
He narrowed his eyes at Siying. ”Did Siying say something to you?” He glared at Zhiyuan. ”Hey, Zhiyuan! Look at your son scaring my daughter!”
Zhiyuan shook his head. ”You just need a reason to target my son.”
Xinyi and Ah Cy giggled.
Leina harrumphed. ”I don't like her!”
She pointed at Chyou and Chyou pursed her lips.
”She pushed Siying!”
Siying said, ”Chyou said sorry too!”
Leina glared at Siying, making him shut his mouth.
Ah Cy said, ”Ah, I wonder who this girl was...So you are Caihong and Xiaosi's daughter.”
Liang touched his chin as he raised his brow. ”Hooo…”
He looked at Zhiyuan and Xinyi curiously.
Chyou blinked her eyes. She was a little nervous around these new adults she just met. ”D-Do you know my Mama and Dada?”
