Cen Xi took Xiao Ying, who was not looking too good, back to the villa in a taxi.
After helping Xiao Ying to the bed, Cen Xi poured a glass of milk for her. After she had drunk it and calmed down, Cen Xi said, “Sister, if you can’t bear to abort the child, you can give birth to him.”
Xiao Ying leaned against the head of the bed with her eyes closed and was having mixed feelings. Everything was too complicated.
“Let me think about it again.”
Cen Xi stayed in Switzerland for two days and before she left, Xiao Ying had made a decision.
She would give birth to the child.
Long Ming had already forgotten about her and now, she was just a stranger to him. They were not living in the same country, so the chances of meeting each other were infinitely small.
Besides, even if he learned that she was pregnant, he would not think that it was his.
After Cen Xi returned to the Capital, Xiao Ying returned to campus life.
Today, as soon as she came out of the campus, several black cars drove towards her. Realizing that something was wrong, Xiao Ying wanted to go back into school, but more than ten foreigners dressed in black got out of the cars and surrounded her.
“Miss Xiao Ying, our Young Master requests to see you.”
Xiao Ying looked at one of the black cars. The window was tinted and she could not see the situation inside. But Xiao Ying felt a pair of eyes that could not be ignored, falling on her.
Over all these years, Xiao Ying had experienced many things and knew that she could not leave at all with so many bodyguards surrounding her. Even if she left, she would still be found.
So Xiao Ying followed the lead bodyguard to the car in the middle. She had met this young master once when she pretended to be Tang En’s girlfriend.
To be honest, this young master was different from what she had imagined he would be. He had a fair and gentle face with exquisite facial features. His eyes were amber in color, his jawline was sharp and he looked like a handsome youth who had walked out from a comic. He looked frail, gloomy, exquisite and gorgeous.
His hair over his forehead was a little long, blocking his slender eyes. Seeing Xiao Ying getting into the car, his lips curved up and his smile looked harmless. “Tang En’s girlfriend, can you tell me where Tang En has gone?”
Tang En had not come back to the university for two days.
On the day Xiao Ying planned to have an abortion, she received his message. He was about to graduate from university and planned to go to a place where no one could find him.
To be honest, Xiao Ying did not know where Senior Tang En had gone either. It seemed like this young master was anxious when he could not find Tang En and came to look for her. He had already known that she was not Tang En’s girlfriend.
“Tang En’s girlfriend, I want to invite you to Italy as a guest until Tang En appears.”
Xiao Ying’s expression changed slightly, but there wasn’t any fear in her eyes and she gave a small smile. “Young Master is very devoted. But I’m afraid it’s not very wise to use me to lure Senior out.”
“Wise or not, it’s none of your business.”
The man raised his hand and a faint fragrance drifted into Xiao Ying’s nose. She wanted to hold her breath but it was too late.
Thud. Her slender body fell into the man’s arms.
The man looked down at the woman in his arms. He pushed her away gloomily and her head hit the car window.
His gaze fell on the scarred half of her face and he laughed in his heart.
What an ugly woman. Was Tang En blind to have fallen for her?
…
Once Cen Xi returned to the Capital, Qiao Yanze still picked her up to and from work every day.
After a while, she found that other than being particularly considerate to her, he was decadent at other times. He did not go anywhere during the day and played mobile games.
At night, he would be doing those things in bed with her.
Cen Xi did not know what he was thinking, but she felt that as a man, he could not go on like this all the time. Although he was not short of money, she learned that all his assets in the Qiao family were taken away by his second brother. All the money he had now was from the Queen and Mrs Helian.
Cen Xi was a highly motivated person. As his partner, she naturally hoped that Qiao Yanze was motivated too.
But that blood letter seemed to have thrown him to the bottom of the valley. His fighting spirit and courage were all beaten up.
Today, before work, Cen Xi went to the washroom. She was in the cubicle and heard two female colleagues talking.
“Have you seen Cen Xi’s boyfriend?”
“Yes, he’s super handsome.”
“What’s the use of being handsome? The other day I went to see a client and saw him go to the cafe opposite after dropping Cen Xi off. He only came out when Cen Xi was about to leave work.”
“God, do you mean that he doesn’t work and only picks up Cen Xi every day?”
“Yes, if he has a job, would he be so free? In my opinion, he must be a toyboy of Cen Xi!”
“Cen Xi is really silly. She’s so pretty and talented and can speak several languages. There are so many men pursuing her, why did she fall for an unaccomplished man?”
“She’s really humiliating us women, giving her hard-earned money for that man to spend.”
Cen Xi could not stand it anymore. Pushing open the door, she came out with a tense expression. When the two female colleagues saw Cen Xi, they immediately clamped their mouths shut.
Turning on the tap, Cen Xi looked at the female colleagues who were going out while washing her hands. “He’s not my toy boy, he’s richer than me. I’m the one who can’t leave him. I hope you won’t comment on my man again.”
Cen Xi shook her hands and the water on her hands splashed onto the female colleagues’ faces. When the female colleagues saw Cen Xi’s cold gaze, they closed their mouths and dared not say anything.
…
After work.
Cen Xi saw her own car at the entrance of the company. Pulling open the door, she sat on the front passenger seat. Before Qiao Yanze started the engine, he wanted to kiss Cen Xi’s face like usual, but she avoided him.
When Qiao Yanze saw that she did not look good, he patted her head. “Having problems with work?”
But Cen Xi only looked out of the car window. “Let’s talk about it after we get back home!”
Along the way, Cen Xi looked outside and the atmosphere in the car was very stiff and silent.
The car stopped below the apartment.
Unbuckling her seat belt, Cen Xi got out of the car. Qiao Yanze did not move. Taking out a cigarette, he put it between his lips.
Cen Xi got back into the car when she found that Qiao Yanze had not gotten down from the car.
Qiao Yanze lit the cigarette and after taking in a breath, he blew out the smoke slowly. “It seems like it’s not work that made you unhappy.”
Cen Xi said nothing.
Narrowing his eyes, Qiao Yanze said quietly, “It’s because of me?”
Cen Xi pursed her pink lips. “Don’t pick me up anymore in the future. I can drive myself.”
Qiao Yanze’s fingers that held the cigarette paused slightly and the eyes that were looking at Cen Xi darkened. “Why?”
“The other day, a colleague saw you sitting in a cafe for a whole day. You don’t have to be so focused on me. You-”
Qiao Yanze smirked and interrupted her coldly. “Do you think I’m not worthy of you because I’m idling my time away every day and don’t have a proper job?”
