C251 (2/2)

Suddenly, her shoulders sunk. Looking up, Helian Xun saw that she was wearing a black suit jacket.

”I'm serious. I hope you think about it carefully.” There was something almost imperceptible in her dark eyes, but there was no love in them. Chu Yu had stayed by Xiang Qicheng's side for so many years, and he also trained in School of Design for a period of time, so he needed a partner. Chu Yu had sufficient reasons to take revenge on Xiang Qicheng, as long as she agreed.

However, it was obvious that she did not appreciate his kindness. After taking off the suit jacket and putting it back in Helian Xun's hand, Chu Yu spoke with an expressionless face: ”If there's nothing else, I'll be going in first.” Without waiting for a reply, he entered the hotel lobby.

After circling around, she found that Xiang Qicheng and Helian Di were both gone. There were so many people at the banquet, she didn't even know where to look for them.

He walked along the long corridor and only took a few steps when he heard the sound of crying women coming from the safe passage near the stairs.

Chu Yu walked to the door and looked through the crack of the door to see that the woman crying at the foot of the stairs was indeed Helian Di. Her originally delicate makeup was now blurred with tears. Her eyes and nose were all red from crying. Her appearance as a pear blossom was extremely tender and lovable. No matter which man saw it, they would feel heartache.

Except Xiang Qicheng.

His face turned green, and with obvious impatience he said, ”I will not remarry. I will give you a large sum of money to get rid of the child tomorrow.”

Looking at the B-mode report in Helian Di's hands, he knew that the baby's week count matched the time from that day. This was a fact that he could not deny, even though he had no memory of what happened that night.

”Ji Cheng, I don't want to... The doctor said it would be hard for me to conceive again after my miscarriage, or else the baby would be born and I could raise it... ”Good …” Helian Di sobbed, and spoke with an almost pleading tone.

Chu Yu, who was standing outside the door, felt his heart thump. He wanted to turn around and leave, but accidentally kicked the metal box beside the door, causing a burst of noise.

”Right... I'm sorry, I was just passing by. ” She bent down and picked up the iron box. She originally wanted to leave quickly, but when the two people in the corridor heard her voice, she could only embarrassedly explain, even though this explanation was very far-fetched.

”It's alright, we just finished our discussion.” Xiang Qicheng opened the door to the safe passage completely. His originally tense chin eased up a little upon seeing Chu Yu, and even his tone became a lot gentler.

Regarding this matter, he felt even more guilty. He didn't know how to face Chu Yu, and was even afraid that she would hate him because of this.

Strangely, Chu Yu did not have much of a reaction, he only raised his head and nodded, then stood by the door.

Given the current situation, it wasn't as though he didn't have to leave on his own. It was really embarrassing … Looking at Helian Di who was standing not far from her, and meeting with a pair of dark and ruthless eyes filled with jealousy and hatred, she instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

”Let's go.” Xiang Qicheng took Chu Yu's hand and discovered that her fingers were cold. Then, as if he had realized something, he took off his suit and draped it over her.

Chu Yu struggled but realised that he was holding her tighter, he could only give up, as his mind kept replaying the look Helian Di had given her.

For some reason, her heart felt even more sympathetic towards Helian Di. She was just like herself when she discovered that she was pregnant, only, she had secretly given birth to a child. If he had also told Xiang Qicheng that he was pregnant like Helian Di back then, would there be no more grapefruit?
