Tang Xi looked at Ling Hui, whose attitude was very clear, and stood stiffly.
Her hands that were hanging down tightened and relaxed non-stop.
Not wanting to lose his composure in front of her, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a puff.
He was not surprised by her attitude.
He did not blame her at all. If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame himself.
He could not give up on her. She had become his obsession and he had no choice but to let her have control over his heart.
He was no longer a young boy and naturally understood that the only thing that could not be forced in this world was one’s feelings.
However, he was unwilling to give up. He did not want to let go of the opportunity even though he felt suffocated and uncomfortable time and time again during this process.
He looked up at her again.
Her eyes were clear and her gaze remained unchanged.
He could tell that she really did not like him.
He smirked and laughed at himself.
Without saying anything else, he turned around and trod away.
Her heart tightened. How he wished that she would call him. Even if she did not say anything and only called him once, he would feel better.
However, he had walked far away but still did not hear her voice.
Ling Hui…
He called out her name silently and there seemed to be a lingering feeling on the tip of his tongue. However, these two words were like sharp swords that stabbed the depths of his heart ruthlessly.
What could he do to make her like him?
Ling Hui looked at Tang Xi’s lonely figure as he left and felt a lump in her throat.
She looked away from him and turned to lean against the railing.
It must be very tiring for him to be with her. She knew herself too well. After experiencing a failed marriage, she did not dare to have any hopes in a man.
She had become like a hedgehog and would stab others if she was unhappy.
Over time, it was only natural for him to get tired.
She could be a very good friend, but she was no longer suitable to be a lover.
Ling Hui raised her exquisite chin, forcing back the redness in her eyes.
Actually, she knew that some of her attitude was extremely unfair to Tang Xi.
He might have been a playboy in the past and might have had countless girlfriends, but now that he was with her, he treated her extremely well.
But she could not respond to him.
She was really afraid of love and marriage and did not dare to have any hopes or fantasies anymore!
Ling Hui and Tang Xi had not noticed that the Tenth Princess, Luo Di, had been standing in an inconspicuous place.
She had seen everything that had happened.
She pressed her fingertips against her palms and clenched her jaw tightly.
She had never thought that the man she had placed in her heart would have such a pathetic and lonely side in front of another woman!
And that woman had even seduced her brother before!
Although that woman had walked into the casino and stunned everyone when she had confessed to Tang Xi, and Tang Xi had even admitted directly that he liked a woman like that, Luo Di had not linked them together. She simply thought that he liked women like her!
Luo Di looked at Tang Xi, who had left alone, and then at the woman who had turned around and was extremely cold. She chased after Tang Xi with mixed feelings.
…
Ling Hui stood on the roof for a long time in the cold wind.
She had not booked a room in Guna Castle and could only spend the night in the restaurant.
She entered the restaurant and ordered a cup of coffee.
Two well-dressed women walked in.
“I don’t know what Young Master Tang is thinking. The Tenth Princess is confessing to him, but he didn’t accept it!”
“Didn’t you hear? He has a girlfriend. He was supposed to bring his girlfriend over tonight.”
“He probably knew that the Tenth Princess liked him, so he said he had a girlfriend! But if he really has a girlfriend, why didn’t he bring her over?”
“Yes, I find it strange too. With his charm, there’s no reason why his girlfriend wouldn’t follow him out to meet his friends!”
“Who knows? Although I don’t want to believe that he has a girlfriend, I heard from my boyfriend that he hasn’t been picking up girls recently and doesn’t hang out with those bad friends anymore. He seems to have changed a lot.”
“Really? Young Master Tang probably changed because of his girlfriend! I really want to see that woman. How could she be so charming to make Young Master Tang such a good man?”
Ling Hui overheard their conversation and frowned.
The Young Master Tang they were talking about must be Tang Xi!
She was a little surprised that he had slowly changed some bad habits that women did not like for her!
He had taken this relationship seriously and wanted to bring her to meet his friend. But what about her? She had not taken him to heart and had even asked him to be with the Tenth Princess!
Putting aside whether they would still be together after the agreement expired, shouldn’t she make some changes during the agreement?
At this thought, Ling Hui stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
She searched around Guna Castle but did not find Tang Xi. She called him again but no one answered.
…
At this moment, Tang Xi and Luo Di were in the wine tasting room.
Tang Xi helped the drunk Ninth Prince into the lounge. He went to the bar and looked at Luo Di, who was drinking alone.
Thinking of the purpose of Ling Hui’s trip, Tang Xi sat in front of the bar counter.
“Tenth Princess, I have a favor to ask of you.” Tang Xi felt that he was quite foolish. Ling Hui clearly did not like him but he still wanted her to be happy. If he could get the life-saving pill and wake her father up, she might be happier.
Seeing the rare seriousness on Tang Xi’s unrestrained face, Luo Di immediately recalled the conversation between him and that woman.
Was he asking her for help because he wanted her brother to give him a life-saving pill?
That medicine could cure hundreds of poisons and was extremely rare and precious. It could not be bought with money. Was he going to beg her for that woman?
Luo Di suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and pretended to be ignorant. “Brother Tang Xi, what do you want me from me?”
“I want the life-saving pill in your hand.”
He was brutally honest!
Luo Di’s heart ached.
Drinking the liquid in the glass, Luo Di looked at Tang Xi with red eyes. “Do you want it for yourself?”
Tang Xi frowned. “No.”
“Who wants it?”
“My… girlfriend.”
When Luo Di heard him say “girlfriend”, the blood in her veins seemed to stop flowing.
That woman did not treat him as her boyfriend at all!
“I can give it to you, but I have a condition.”
Tang Xi naturally knew that if he wanted to get the life-saving pill, Luo Di would definitely raise some conditions. He pursed his sexy scarlet lips slightly. “Tell me.”
“I want you to break up with your girlfriend and be with me. If you can do it, I’ll give you the only life-saving pill!”
Tang Xi had already guessed her request before Luo Di raised the conditions!
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world…
