“Alas, it’s a cycle of revenge! The boy had many romantic debts. Half a month ago, while dining with a girl, someone threw sulfuric acid on them. The girl is still in intensive care. Ji Xuan survived but is severely injured below the neck and will need a wheelchair for some time,” Gao Zhan Peng sighed, rubbing his forehead.
Jing Xin stood shaking her head, accustomed to the troublesome pair.
Suddenly, a silver Maybach screeched to a halt in front of her, almost touching her legs. Jing Xin stepped back, her high heels catching on the hard steps and causing her to stumble.
As Jing Xin was about to fall, Bai Ming quickly grabbed her, causing her to stagger and crash into him, her nose hitting his shoulder with a burning pain.
She covered her nose, wincing. How could a bump hurt so much? Was her nose broken?
Ya Ru approached, pulling her hand away and exclaiming, “Jing Xin, you’re bleeding! Oh, this useless Bai Ming, can’t he do anything right…”
Her voice trailed off as she noticed a tall man standing before her, exuding a striking presence that made him appear almost otherworldly.
Jiang Xiang Yang abruptly pulled Jing Xin away from Bai Ming, dragging her to the car and pushing her inside, ignoring Ya Ru’s calls.
The car door slammed shut, isolating them from the city noise. The cramped space oppressed Jing Xin, her heart racing wildly in her chest.
Jiang Xiang Yang’s gaze swept across her face.
He raised an eyebrow, pulled out some tissues, and pressed them against her bleeding nose, tilting her head back to rest on the seat. As he leaned toward her, Jing Xin caught a faint, unfamiliar scent emanating from him.
The car’s air conditioning blew softly, and his hand accidentally brushed her cheek, cool to the touch. In that instant, he withdrew and sat back, creating distance between them. Jing Xin felt a sourness in her nose, as if something had choked her heart, leaving a bitter taste.
She never imagined that six years later, she would unexpectedly encounter Jiang Xiang Yang. Was it coincidence or fate?
This man had abandoned her six years ago. Shouldn’t she have slapped him? He had broken his promise to her bedridden mother, saying, “I will take care of her for a lifetime.”
