Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Suddenly Pitying Him
He Yizheng seemed afraid that he would retreat, his tone somewhat anxious: "But you are competitors! You have to face off against him!"
"Competition can be either positive or malicious." Ruan Tianqi’s tone was calm, "I provoked HI earlier just to test the depths of He Jingyao. After all, given his fame, I inevitably don’t want to lose. But now... I have always been someone who knows how to adapt to circumstances, otherwise, the Ruan Family wouldn’t have ended up in my hands."
He Yizheng’s cheek twitched, and his voice carried a hint of malice: "So, you’re not planning to cooperate with me?"
"I’m sorry." Ruan Tianqi smiled, exuding a somewhat deep and inscrutable aura, "Mr. He’s chips are not enough to move me."
He Yizheng took a deep breath and suddenly grabbed Xia Xinyu’s wrist: "In that case, I’ll take Xinyu back!"
Xia Xinyu just glanced at him, still expressionless.
Ruan Tianqi chuckled and made a casual gesture: "Miss Xia has been a guest here for nearly two months, she should be homesick."
He Yizheng’s expression became more ferocious, clutching Xia Xinyu’s wrist tightly, squeezing out his words through clenched teeth: "Ruan Tianqi, don’t regret this! Do you think by raising a white flag, He Jingyao will spare you?"
Ruan Tianqi thought for a moment, and smiled: "That’s my own business, no need for Mr. He to worry. The investment I promised you before will be delivered as agreed, no need to sign a contract, just consider it my sponsorship for Mr. He."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Xinyu with a half-smile: "Miss Xia has accompanied me for so long, I can’t let that go unacknowledged."
The implication being that the money he gave was considered Xia Xinyu’s compensation for her services.
He Yizheng’s face turned even uglier, his expression changed several times, but ultimately, he couldn’t muster the courage to refuse the money.
He looked at Xia Xinyu, his expression somewhat terrifying: "Let’s go!"
Xia Xinyu stood up compliantly and followed his steps.
She never cast a glance at Ruan Tianqi.
The man watched her slender back, his gaze unfathomable.
After a long time, he curled his lips into a smile.
...
He Yizheng’s pace was swift, no longer carrying the composure and elegance he had when he arrived.
Xia Xinyu lifted her eyes, taking in his pale face completely.
He Yizheng was still the same He Yizheng, and if he wished, he could be the most elegant gentleman.
But no matter how well-dressed he was, he couldn’t avoid exuding a sense of downfall and restlessness, his face was also filled with hostility.
So, just now when he sat with Ruan Tianqi, even if his appearance was impeccable, even if Ruan Tianqi was only draped in a towel, the one who held the upper hand was still Ruan Tianqi.
And He Yizheng...
Xia Xinyu suddenly felt sorry for him.
At this moment, she understood that her feelings for this man had completely vanished.
She smiled to herself, lost in thought.
He Yizheng quickly pushed her into the car.
He himself got into the driver’s seat and started the car swiftly.
Upon reaching the destination, He Yizheng suddenly pounded heavily on the steering wheel.
"Xinyu, I will make a comeback... that money..." Even as selfish as he was, at this moment he couldn’t shamelessly keep the money or dispose of it as he pleased.
"Keep it." Xia Xinyu finally spoke, she smiled, "Do what you want to do."
"Xinyu..." He Yizheng said in a hoarse voice, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his chest.
