Chapter 335: Self-Confidence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What are you doing here? Did anyone see you?” He Wei blinked her eyes and pretended to be innocent and demure as she got out of the blanket and threw herself into Ren Zhong’s arms obediently.
“No one saw me. I just came to see how you’re doing here.” Ren Zhong sat by the bed and pulled her into his arms. He lifted her chin and pressed his lips against hers.
After lingering for a while, he finally let go of her. Ren Zhong squinted his long and narrow eyes and rubbed her body heavily with his big hands. He smiled with satisfaction and said, “This matter will be over soon. 1’11 let you off for today. When you’re discharged, 1’11 make it up to you.”
He Wei bashfully punched his chest. Ren Zhong’s technique was not bad. He could always make her feel comfortable and carefree. It was a pity that this man’s name was not Jing Yan. Otherwise, she would really want to spend the rest of her life with him. “Stop fooling around. Be careful not to be seen by others. You should go back first.”
“You’re in such a hurry to chase me away?” Ren Zhong pretended to be dissatisfied and bit her lips again. In the end, she gave in under his heavy gaze. “Alright, I’m actually here because I heard some gossip.”
“What gossip?” He Wei looked up at him in surprise, but when she met his eyes that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling, she could not help but shiver.
Ren Zhong lifted her face and looked at her face. “I heard that you used to like Jing Yan.
In order to get close to him, you even declared war on your sister? Hmm?”
He Wei’s tone was a little bit unsatisfied, so she immediately focused and carefully looked at his expression. She explained with a confused and innocent face, “No, why would 1 like Jing Yan? If I really did like him, would He Miao still be here?”
“Oh? You’re pretty confident, aren’t you?” Ren Zhong kept rubbing her smooth chin with his thumb playfully. Other than interest, there was also a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
He Wei knew that he was not an idiot who could be fooled by a few perfunctory words. She pretended to blame him and waved his hand away. She pouted and threw herself into his arms. “Why are you saying that about me? Am I really that inferior to He Miao in your heart? Is it because you like her secretly and think that I can’t compare to her?”
“Nonsense.” Ren Zhong pinched her chin and bit her plump lips as if he was punishing her. “You haven’t explained your problem clearly, and now you’re trying to hit me back? Who taught you that, huh?”
“Do you need people to teach you this? Am I really not as good as He Miao in your heart?” He Wei pouted and said, feeling wronged. “Do you not like me anymore?”
“If 1 didn’t like you, would I have gone through all this trouble for you?” Ren Zhong raised his eyebrows and looked at her acting coquettishly. He liked to see her acting coy.
He Wei’s temper flared up, and she shouted, “Don’t think I don’t know that you have other motives. You pushed all the blame to your brother this time just to put him in jail so that there would be one less person fighting for your shares, right?”
“He Wei!” The man’s expression changed when he heard her words. His previous gentleness and pampering disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Only then did He Wei snap back to her senses. Realizing that she had lost her cool, she quickly pinched her thigh and forced out a few drops of tears. “You, why are you suddenly so fierce? I’m sorry. I said the wrong thing, okay?!”
Ren Zhong’s expression was still very ugly, but he suppressed the anger that was about to burst out. He took a deep breath and tried to speak in a gentle tone, “I didn’t mean to be fierce to you, but you should understand that the walls have ears. Moreover, Ren Wei did everything himself. I didn’t force him, did I?”
“Yes, I know 1 was wrong. You’ve put in so much effort for me and helped me take down He Miao. I’m very grateful to you.” He Wei knew that the man was still angry and continued to say good things while sobbing.
Only then did Ren Zhong’s expression ease. He chuckled and took the initiative to wipe away the tears on her face. “Alright, it’s getting late. I have to go back to the office first. If you continue to cry, I won’t be able to hold it in anymore.”
“Hooligan!” He Wei laughed through her tears as she rebuked. The tense atmosphere between the two of them just now instantly disappeared.
After Ren Zhong left, He Wei took out a tissue and wiped her tears. She glared fiercely at the door.
Just wait and see. When she got Jing Yan’s heart, she would not want such a man who was so fickle in his emotions. Who did he think he was? How dare he yell at her, the only female lead in the entire book? He was just the head of the Ren family, a nobody who had earned his position through backstabbing! It was nothing compared to the Jing family.
However, what she did not know was that the moment Ren Zhong walked out of the hospital and returned to his car, he expressionlessly ordered his assistant, who was sitting in the front row, “Investigate He Wei’s relationship with Jing Yan in the past.. Don’t let anything past you!”
