Chapter 701: Chapter 701

It was another day when "a moment in spring is worth a thousand gold."

When He Jinxia woke up, the thick curtains completely blocked out the sunlight, and she couldn’t tell what time it was.

The moment she moved, she couldn’t help but hiss in pain, looking at the marks on her body, she had no doubt that Sheng Yan had been gnawing at her like a bone.

He really didn’t know his own strength!

"You’re awake?" Sheng Yan’s voice drifted over, holding a bowl of something in his hand. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a bowl of porridge.

He Jinxia ignored him, rubbing her sore arms. Soon enough, the man came over gallantly and helped ease her soreness.

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t stand it. He Jinxia couldn’t help but say, "If you do this again next time, I, I won’t deal with you anymore!"

Sheng Yan "Hmm" in response, answering quickly, "I won’t do it again next time."

He Jinxia felt a bit more relieved.

However, the fact proved that a certain wolf was always slapped in the face, even by his own doing...

While having the porridge, He Jinxia thought of something and casually asked, "Those reporters won’t report about last night, right?"

The news he didn’t want to release would not get out no matter what methods were used.

He Jinxia’s eyes slightly curved: "Actually, even if it gets out, it doesn’t matter. I was wearing a mask and they couldn’t recognize me."

At this moment, Sheng Yan hesitated, then said, "It seems... someone recognized you."

He Jinxia’s eyes widened: "Hmm?"

Sheng Yan stood up and walked to the bed, pulling out He Jinxia’s phone and waved it in front of her with a shallow smirk that made one want to punch him: "It seems a kid recognized you."

Glancing at the phone, she saw "Ola" with 20 missed calls!

He Jinxia fell silent for a while, then suddenly buried her head on the table; she was wrong...

In that urgent situation, she only wanted to declare sovereignty, completely forgetting about the child Ola -_-||

He Jinxia was still thinking about how to explain and make amends to Ola when another annoying problem found her.

Even though it was still broad daylight outside, the bar was incredibly dim. He Jinxia frowned, enduring the noisy music and flashing lights as she searched, finally finding Xie Jiahui, who was fast asleep with her head down on a table.

After settling the tab with the bartender, He Jinxia dragged her to a car.

Xie Jiahui was still immersed in heartache and drowned her sorrows in alcohol, occasionally muttering words like "jerk," "bitch," "faithless lover," and "blind."

Listening to this, He Jinxia couldn’t help but snort a laugh, glancing up at Sheng Yan—the main subject of the curses was right here!

Someone coughed lightly ahead, and He Jinxia then composed her expression, patting Xie Jiahui, intending to wake her up.

She tried many methods, and finally, under the stimulation of cold hands soaked with cold water, Xie Jiahui slowly came to.

Her eyes were blank, and it took her a while to come to her senses. The first person she recognized was Jinxia.

The moment she saw He Jinxia, her lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but soon her expression changed. She frowned and pursed her lips as tears instantly streamed down her face, and she reached out to hug her.

"Whimper, Jinxia, I saw the wrong person. The person I’ve loved for so many years is actually a jerk, sob..."

He Jinxia took her in, gently patting her shoulder, letting her vent.

At this moment, saying nothing might be the best comfort.

The car stopped at a place, but no one got out, waiting for Xie Jiahui to finish crying.

Xie Jiahui had cried for nearly an hour before she vented most of her gloominess, sniffing and saying:

"Xirui said I have poor judgment in people. I didn’t believe it at first, but after encountering Deng Zhaoyan, I lost much of my confidence. And now another person I’ve long admired turns out to be a jerk. I, I..."

As she spoke, Xie Jiahui felt overwhelmed by sadness and couldn’t help but shed a few more tears.

She blinked her eyes, which were somewhat dry and sore from too much crying.

Seeing her , He Jinxia couldn’t bear it, "Do you really like him that much?"

Perhaps knowing that the person she liked was not a good person, Xie Jiahui began to doubt her own taste. After thinking it over carefully, she shook her head: "Actually, now that I think about it, I didn’t like him that much."

"As a child in the compound, Sheng Yan was always outstanding, whether it was his family background or his academic performance. More importantly, he was good-looking. Back then, all the girls liked him."

"Later, my family moved abroad. My impression of him remained that of the vigorous, graceful young man from our youth.

I heard from a friend that Sheng Yan had gained a lot of weight for a while in high school. When he returned, it startled everyone, and many women abandoned their romantic feelings for him." Chapters fırst released on novel·fire.net

"I didn’t believe it at the time. When I came back from abroad for the New Year, I specifically peeked at his family’s door a few times. They didn’t appear, and I didn’t know where they went.

Later, I found out that they had moved out of the compound during Sheng Yan’s high school years. The next time I saw him, he had already become the Movie King."

"My affection for him grew from childhood to adulthood. I still thought he was the same gentle and cultured young man as before, but now I see that, indeed, time can erode everything about a person. He’s not at all the way I imagined."

Xie Jiahui gave a self-mocking laugh. The more she talked, the more her heart seemed to open up.

She’s the type who doesn’t hold onto things; a big issue can be resolved with a drink and a cry, and by the next day, she’s back to normal!

Seeing her able to laugh, He Jinxia felt relieved and carefully said, "Jiahui, I’ve told you some things before, and I wasn’t lying, but you never took them to heart. Now, in this situation, it might actually be a good opportunity."

Xie Jiahui was startled: "What are you talking about?"

He Jinxia cleared her throat, with the one in charge sitting in front, she couldn’t raise her voice and whispered, "I told you before, I’m in a relationship with Sheng Yan, and we’re about to get engaged."

Xie Jiahui was first stunned, then looked at her with frustration: "You still comfort me not to be sad, but what about you? You weren’t there last night, but you must have heard about it. How can you still want him, knowing the kind of scumbag he is!"

He Jinxia felt a pang in her heart and said firmly, "Actually, it’s not what you think... "

Xie Jiahui exclaimed emotionally, "I saw a woman clinging to him with my own eyes, and he did not refuse her! That woman looked like a vixen, not a good sort at all!"

He Jinxia’s voice grew fainter: "It’s really not what you think..."

Xie Jiahui continued loudly, "How could it not be what I think it is?!"

The bitter fruit one plants must be swallowed oneself.

He Jinxia no longer tried to resist; at this point, there was nothing she couldn’t say, and she admitted boldly: "Actually, the woman who appeared last night was me."

Xie Jiahui choked on her words.

"It... it... was you?" she stammered.
