Chapter 509: Chapter 513: Make a Clean Break
Xiangsi also heard Xiahou Chunyi’s words, but she had no time to pay attention to him now. She kept walking, just wanting to leave as soon as possible.
However, things didn’t go her way.
Xing Chen arrived quickly and blocked the door, stopping Xiangsi in her tracks.
The staff rest area was already not spacious, and with four people standing there, it was quite crowded.
When Xiangsi saw who was blocking her way, her breath hitched for a moment.
She hadn’t expected Xing Chen to arrive so quickly... nor did she expect that when Xing Chen came to see her, she would be holding another man’s hand.
Her heart panicked, and almost reflexively, she quickly let go of Fu Jingxuan’s hand, as if she had let go of a hot potato.
Even though there was nothing between her and Fu Jingxuan, she didn’t want Xing Chen to misunderstand her.
However, in Xing Chen’s eyes, her action was undoubtedly hiding something.
His eagle-like eyes darkened, and Xing Chen spoke unhappily, "Miss Ran, I remember... you’re not on the guest list for my wedding?"
His tone was very bad, revealing a hint of barely perceptible anger.
His words shocked Xiangsi, and her small, fair face turned extremely pale in an instant.
He... was he despising her for coming uninvited?
"We’ve known each other, and you’re getting married. Of course, I came to present you with a gift." Ran Xiangsi bit her teeth and tried to force a smile, retorting unceremoniously, "Or is President Xing a small-minded person?"
To Xing Chen, her words were like a sharp knife, stabbing painfully into his heart.
He knew her temper, knew she was sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.
Well, after all, he was using this wedding to draw her out. Since his goal was achieved, even if she was angry, he would accept it.
"I have something to discuss with you." After speaking, he turned and walked into the adjacent kitchen.
Ran Xiangsi stood there in a daze and watched as Xing Chen entered a room separated by transparent glass. He said something, and then the people inside respectfully exited.
Even she couldn’t guess what was on Xing Chen’s mind at this moment.
He had always been like this, never revealing anything, keeping everything in his heart, and rarely saying anything out loud. No one could guess what he was plotting.
Seeing Ran Xiangsi standing still, Fu Jingxuan couldn’t help but ask her, "Xiangsi, why aren’t you leaving?"
He didn’t want to see Ran Xiangsi still having feelings for Xing Chen...
"I..." Ran Xiangsi hesitated. To be honest, she should leave to uncover the secret in Fu Jingxuan’s heart.
However... through the transparent glass, she met Xing Chen’s gaze.
His dark eyes seemed to hold a pool of clear spring water, always easily attracting everything about her.
She was somewhat unable to move her feet.
She came here today just to ask Xing Chen why he was getting married.
Now, as long as she walked in, she could get the answer...
But she was afraid of going in, afraid of hearing something she didn’t want to hear, bringing suffering upon herself.
Xiahou Chunyi, seeing this, got anxious and said, "Why don’t you go in and make things clear? After all, since they are getting married, you need to resolve this. As for this gentleman... why do you seem so familiar? Where do you work?"
Xiahou Chunyi’s interruption distracted Fu Jingxuan a bit, and Ran Xiangsi let go of his hand and walked towards the kitchen.
