“Ji Xuan, I’m done eating. Let’s go!” She wiped her hands and pushed back her chair, making a noise that attracted curious glances from other diners.
Gao Ji Xuan stood but then reached across the table to take her hand. “Jing Xin, sit down. I have something to tell you.”
His voice was firm yet calm. Jing Xin hesitated but eventually sat back down, feeling a wave of nervousness.
“Jing Xin, from now on, I don’t want you to live so hard. Come to my side and let me take care of you!” He locked his eyes with hers, his words filled with sincerity.
Why do people become romantic, longing for beautiful scenery? Because they haven’t met the girl who can truly touch their heart. Gao Ji Xuan finally understood this.
She cried for a long time, her head becoming increasingly confused. Hot air rushed across her face, and she thought she probably wouldn’t be able to see the stars tonight.
Gao Ji Xuan observed her flushed cheeks, knowing she couldn’t handle alcohol. At the company’s gratitude party, Jing Xin had drunk several glasses of red wine under enthusiastic persuasion and ended up vomiting. Gao Ji Xuan had taken care of her at the hotel, where she unconsciously cried, repeatedly calling out a man’s name.
He felt something heavy pressing down on his heart, oppressive and painful. She kept calling for Jiang Xiangyang. How could he not have thought of this?
Jing Xin leaned in Gao Jixuan’s arms, murmuring, “My head hurts, it’s so hot, so hot!”
Gao Jixuan helplessly shook his head, carefully pulling her up and embracing her.
Fortunately, the hotel he booked was just downstairs, and they could take the elevator directly.
“Xiangyang, what’s wrong?” Jiang Xinyao asked, noticing Jiang Xiangyang’s grip on the wine glass tighten as he followed the gaze of a tall man embracing a girl headed towards the elevator.
“Xiangyang, are you okay?” Jiang Xinyao repeated, worried.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Have you finished eating? Let’s go!” Jiang Xiangyang said, withdrawing his gaze and leading the way to the hotel’s exit, with Jiang Xinyao hurrying after him.
On the way, Jiang Xiangyang remained silent while driving. “Xiangyang, did you know those two just now?” Jiang Xinyao couldn’t bear the silence.
