Novel Bin Chapter 21
He Thinks She Wishes To Stay By His Side?!
Li Shengxia initially thought Mo Nianchen had come to persuade her to stay. How dare he ask her to forget about the letter! Exasperated, no words could come out of her mouth.
She understood if he did not accept her affection. Did he have to mercilessly break her heart too?
Was he trying to portray how worthless her love was to him?
Did he think she wanted his pity? Did he think she wished to stay by his side that much?!
She grabbed the handle of the suitcase and shouted at the man, “You know how much I hate you for ruining my childhood! I’m finally freed from you! You’ll not get to be in my life starting from this second! Don’t you worry because I’ll definitely forget about the letter! I don’t need you by my side! See you never!”
With that, she turned around intending to leave. All of a sudden, he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her close before locking his lips on hers!
This domineering punishment felt intrusive and cold.
She struggled to get away from him! For a split second, she suddenly felt an intense fear toward men.
On the other hand, he had the cheek to question her arrogantly. “I’ve asked you to stay. What else do you want?!”
All the grievances in her heart were transformed into rage. “Do you really want me to despise you that much? Well, you did it! You’re now officially the person I loathe the most in my entire life!”
She said what she had to say and strode off.
Perhaps the despair came out of the loss of her first kiss, or that she had just been disrespected, or that her first bloom of love was now shattered into a million pieces. The woman cried uncontrollably after taking her seat on the airplane.
It was on that flight that she met Yin Tangyi. He who was seated next to her did not show disgust upon seeing the woman’s contorted crying face. Instead, he passed her some tissue, slowly, one after another.
She caught a fever before she left and it lasted for several days. Mo Nianchen spared even giving her a simple phone call during that whole time…
She thought this was what it meant to lead a wretched life. She regarded herself as infallible, thinking that she was attractive enough but in reality, she was only a bad joke in the man’s eyes.
That convinced her to finally give up on him and the timid woman never initiated further contact since. What broke her heart even more was the fact that he had not once reached out to her either, as if they were complete strangers.
However, right this very instant, the half-conscious intoxicated man was mumbling her name, “Xiaxia, Xiaxia…”
He stole her heart away arrogantly and domineeringly. She knew full well that he was a devil yet she could not stop herself from falling deeper for him. Perhaps this was the reason she did not wish to get closer to the man.
She had lost everything in front of him. There was nothing more she could do other than run away!
The woman thought she had forgotten about him, but as it turned out she had only detached herself from her feelings temporarily.
No.
Li Shengxia shook her head violently to remind herself that she could not make the same mistake twice. She would not be tough enough to bear the pain!
Just as she was rising to her feet with the intention of replacing the cold towel, he grabbed her arm out of the blue and pulled her into his embrace.
She staggered and fell. Just as she was about to get back on her feet –
The door suddenly opened.
To be more precise, she forgot to lock the door earlier and left the door ajar by accident. Coincidentally, someone walked past at this time and witnessed everything that had just happened…
Li Shengxia fell on top of the man. The fair skin on her collarbone shimmered faintly under the illumination of the light.
Yin Tangyi, who was standing by the door, stood frozen. The wine glass in his hand fell, its contents spilled and rippling outwards. His eyes were filled with sorrow, yet hidden beneath was a hint of sternness, as if he had finally seen the woman’s true colors.
He had only held her hands in all these years they had been together. He did not even get as much as a loving hug. In less than two months since they broke up, he found her in another man’s embrace in a way that displayed so much… Intimacy. Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m
He suddenly figured he was never a part of her life or her world, not even for a split second! All he did was linger around the perimeter of her heart.
She said she despised and feared intimacy with another person. He believed her wholeheartedly and never once pressured her. The man reckoned that given enough time, he would eventually succeed in breaking down the thick wall she built in order to protect herself.
He thought he was the person closest to her in her entire life…
It was not until his engagement party that he finally realized he could not be more wrong – when he saw Mo Nianchen hugging her close to him. He had gotten it all wrong!
His self-esteem was demolished within seconds.
At last, he realized how he had been manipulated by the girl he once thought was na?ve and innocent! The love he thought they experienced together was only a false front!
She had deceived him! Dumped him! Destroyed him! She turned all of his proudest achievements into jokes!
This coincidence was completely out of Li Shengxia’s expectation. She did not expect Yin Tangyi to appear right here at this moment to witness this easily misunderstood scene. The air was filled with a strange vibe of awkwardness. However, the half-conscious Mo Nianchen was still holding her wrist so firmly that she could not move an inch.
Time stood still for a few more seconds before Yin Tangyi suddenly strode off.
A familiar voice then rang in the air..
“Young Master Yin, why’re you leaving in such a hurry?!”
Confused, that person stood in the same spot where Yin Tangyi was standing just seconds ago. The person was stupefied after discovering the sight inside of the room.
“Li Shengxia! Why are you here? You really are everywhere! What are you doing? Is the crown prince drunk? And you took the opportunity to get closer to him? Aren’t you scared of being discovered! Have you lost your mind?”
Gina bombarded the other woman with incessant criticism.
“You really do surprise me! No wonder Young Master Yin stormed off!” It was as if the woman could not stop talking!
“And you’re still in that position? How shameless! I thought perhaps you’ve manipulated the crown prince using some classy moves that he had no choice but to keep you around. Turns out this is it!”
Gina was seized with fury at the sight.
She would never forget the time she tried to approach the crown prince when he was drunk. However, he shooed her away before she could even get close.
She remembered falling onto pieces of shattered glass on the ground and almost putting her beautiful face in danger of disfigurement. This was why she dared not try it again. The worst thing that happened in that incident was the fact that he dismissed her with a payment after sobering up!
How could Li Shengxia achieve what she had failed to?
Evidently, she was much prettier in comparison!
Li Shengxia was extremely embarrassed for being discovered by Yin Tangyi unexpectedly earlier. However, she regained her composure quickly upon seeing the overbearing Gina. She already disliked the latter to begin with, thus making this a perfect chance to strike!
