“Don’t you want to settle down?” After eight years, this was the first time she asked him this question.
“No.” His ink-black eyes stared at her without blinking, and Xia Erxi answered decisively.
Her throat felt tight, as if blocked by a hard lump, and Xinluo took a bite of toast.
This was the true Xia Erxi – cold and emotionless. Yesterday’s version was just a fleeting illusion, not to be taken seriously.
“I can’t think of a reason to settle down,” Xia Erxi said, lowering his head to sip some coffee, his black eyes narrowing.
He should find a time to clarify things with Lan Zhenyun. He really disliked this fake “future Mrs. Xia” game and even more detested her casually speaking to the media.
“…” stopped talking, Xia Er Xi’s single sentence “I don’t want to settle down” rang in her mind, shattering her previous sweet thoughts into pieces. Wasn’t she already aware that he had no heart? Why did her chest still feel so tight she could barely breathe after hearing his response? Could it be that she was still hoping for something from him? She was truly foolish!
“Perha
“…Enough, don’t say another word,” she interrupted him rudely: Xinluo said flatly, “I don’t want to hear about his relationship with her.” Even more, she secretly added to herself, she didn’t want to hear his cold words. If the subject were her today, his attitude would be the same, without any change…
His suddenly cold voice drew a surprised glance from Xia Er Xi, as if he had inadvertently touched another of her forbidden limits.
“Eat quickly! You still need to go to the company, right?” Xinluo issued her dismissal order expressionlessly, carrying the coffee cup into the kitchen.
“Zhen Yun, I saw that press conference the other day. Can you tell me what happened?” Lowering his head to sip the wine in his cup, Xia Er Xi asked with a half-smile.
“You mean that press conference!” Zhen Yun stared unblinkingly at the handsome man before her, her eyes reflecting beautiful dreams perched on tree branches.
