Outside the door, before she and Limo could feel awkward, Old Lady Li’s voice sounded from behind.
Xu Qingzhi froze and turned around to see her mother, Qiao Zhilan, rushing over with Old Lady Li.
“Grandma… Auntie…”
Old Lady Li hurriedly grabbed Xu Qingzhi’s hand. “Zhizhi, you’ve suffered. I’ve already taught this rascal a lesson for you! If you’re still angry, can I help you hit him again?”
Xu Qingzhi glanced at the man beside her. The sarcastic smile on his handsome face revealed his disgust for her.
“Grandma, I’ve told you before, the wedding…”
“The wedding must be held as usual!” Old Lady Li interrupted firmly.
“Let’s go back to Rong City with Grandma.”
Xu Qingzhi took two steps and stopped.
“You might not have seen the news. I don’t have a good reputation now. If I marry him, I’ll embarrass the Li family…”
Old Lady Li turned to look at her sternly.
“Tell Grandma yourself, is what the news said true?”
“I…”
Seeing Xu Qingzhi’s hesitation, Old Lady Li smiled and said, “Why did you have to appear at this time?”
She patted Xu Qingzhi’s hand and glanced at Li Mo, who was standing not far away. The old lady continued,
“Zhizhi, no matter what happened to Limo in the past, he still rushed back before he got married. This proves that she has chosen you. You like Limo. Are you going to give up such a good opportunity? Humans are all selfish. You have to fight for yourself, child. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it for the rest of your life… The child also needs a biological father. What the Li family has given him will definitely be the best. Don’t worry about the present and delay the child’s future…”
Xu Qingzhi was distraught, but she was moved.
Old Lady Li looked at her shrewdly for a few seconds before holding her hand tightly. She sighed and said in a low voice,
“Child, in this life, one has to abandon everything for the sake of obtaining something! Who knows what will happen in the future?”
Xu Qingzhi’s heart was in a mess…
–
Xu Qingzhi was thrown out by Bo Jinchuan. When Shen Fanxing found out, she wanted to open the door but Bo Jinchuan stopped her.
“Let her decide for herself. You can’t interfere in such matters.”
Bo Jinchuan carried Shen Fanxing to the sofa.
“But we’ve already agreed on this. I know very well that she doesn’t intend to get married.”
Bo Jinchuan stroked her hair and said seriously, “You don’t know.”
“I’m her friend.”
“Okay, then do you think she likes Limo?”
Shen Fanxing paused before saying, “I do.”
“Yes, I do. I want to marry him.”
Bo Jinchuan carried her onto his body and pecked her lips. His voice was low and hoarse.
“Just like how I must marry you if I love you. Understand?”
Shen Fanxing asked, “What if I’m unwilling?”
“That won’t do.” Bo Jinchuan kissed her. “You have to be mine.”
Shen Fanxing’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at Bo Jinchuan thoughtfully.
Perhaps this was the same reason why she had never thought of backing down in front of Yuan Sichun.
Qing Zhi loved Limo but was unwilling to marry him?
Against her will.
After a moment of distraction, Bo Jinchuan bit her lips.
“Yes?”
Sensing the pain, Shen Fanxing lowered her head to look at him in confusion.
Bo Jinchuan narrowed his eyes at her dangerously.
Shen Fanxing smiled apologetically and planted a kiss on Bo Jinchuan’s lips.
Bo Jinchuan leaned over for an interrogation, but Shen Fanxing pressed her index finger against his lips.
“Huh?” asked Bo Jinchuan as he raised an eyebrow.
“Do you really not want a child?”
Bo Jinchuan was silent for a moment before saying, “That will be troublesome.”
“You don’t like children?”
“I only like you.”
Shen Fanxing smirked and said, “Did I lose to your honey-coated mouth?”
“Have a good taste then.”
As he spoke, he leaned forward and Shen Fanxing exerted more force.
“No. We have to go to Rongcheng for the wedding tomorrow morning.”
Bo Jinchuan frowned and Shen Fanxing planted a kiss on his forehead before smiling at him.
“Love you.”
Bo Jinchuan’s eyes darkened, but Shen Fanxing had already gotten off him. She strode to the door and opened it.
There was no one outside.
Something flashed across Shen Fanxing’s eyes before she closed the door. She ran to the balcony and looked downstairs. Under the dim streetlights, she could vaguely see Xu Qingzhi’s slender figure being pushed into a low-profile black car by the old lady.
As for the man in the black trench coat, he stood tall and straight at the side. No one could see his expression, but that unchanging coldness would not appear on his face.
The old lady’s walking stick suddenly landed on the man’s back. He couldn’t hear what she was saying, as if she was lecturing him.
The man remained motionless, allowing the old lady to hit him and scold him.
Shen Fanxing narrowed her eyes.
Limo… So he was someone who would submit to adversity?
Then, she raised an eyebrow—
How was that possible?
Her lips curled as she straightened and left the balcony.
Perhaps she should attend a wedding tomorrow.
She called the company’s public relations department to prepare for the clarification tomorrow.
Chu Yi had never had any scandals, nor did he care about them. Hence, today’s news was still trending.
Now that the full video had been released, it could be considered a misunderstanding.
There was no sound in the video, but one could see that Chu Yi didn’t look too good. Xu Qingzhi was almost thrown out by him. In the end, he pulled her into his arms.
However, everyone knew that Xu Qingzhi was pregnant. It was understandable for Chu Yi to save her.
In any case, the fans didn’t want their idol to have any relationship with another woman.
Her idol didn’t belong to anyone. It belonged to everyone.
The last few haters were too obvious. They couldn’t achieve anything and were automatically ignored.
In short, the farce ended as expected.
Before she went to bed, Shen Fanxing received a message from Ye Qingqiu.
“Where is it?”
“Home.”
“Let’s go to Rongcheng together tomorrow.”
“Where can I pick you up?”
After a long silence, a message came.
“I’ll look for you at your place tomorrow.”
Shen Fanxing stared at the message on her phone for a long time before replying, “Okay.”
There was no reply after that.
Putting down her phone, Shen Fanxing turned to look at the man who was full of negative emotions. Her lips twitched slightly.
She leaned over and her voice was gentle.
“Ah Chuan…”
Bo Jinchuan narrowed his eyes at her.
“Don’t talk to me like that.”
She didn’t even let him move and still seduced him like this. What a cruel woman.
