Chapter 558: Chapter 558 Unpromising_1 Chapter 558: Chapter 558 Unpromising_1 “Xiaogang, the man earlier was my foster brother. We grew up together, and I know him better than you.” He Jinlan thought more about it and got more satisfied with her reasoning, “Previously, Jiang Nanfei was not even eighteen, and she was still in high school. Even if my brother had feelings for her, he would restrain himself and not make a move too early.”
“Really? I think no man can resist such a beautiful woman.” He was completely smitten just by glancing at her.
A flicker of disgust passed through He Jinlan’s eyes, thinking that what a beast who thought with his lower half and believed everyone else was the same.
“My brother is a soldier. He has his own pride and persistency. For them, the soldiers, the most important thing is to restrain their desires.”
Wei Xiaogang looked at the sincerity in He Jinlan’s words. Paired with his rich experience with women, he could usually tell pretty accurately whether a woman was genuinely pure or just pretending to be. Adding both pieces together, he was slightly taken aback and believed her.
Initially, he did not wish to offend powerful adversaries, but now the beauty was too compelling.
Moreover, He Jinlan had a point. If he missed out on Jiang Nanfei, he would regret it for the rest of his life. If he couldn’t make her his, he was afraid he would no longer find interest in other women.
“Alright! I agree, and you will know what to do!”
Nan Fei regretted the moment she ran out of the state guest hotel. She hadn’t done anything wrong, so why did she run? It should have been Huo Beijiang who left.
“Jiang Nanfei, you are so weak.” Standing at the crossroads, Nanfei was at a loss of where to go.
Rushing out like that was too impulsive.
Over the past six months, she felt angry, hateful, and wronged. After he disappeared suddenly after leaving the hospital, not a single call or message, as if the entire Huo family had vanished. If it wasn’t for Yuan Xueshan still remaining in town, she might have thought that everything she had been through was just a beautiful dream.
Now that she’s awake, all the beauty, all the heartache, are gone.
At that time, her leg hadn’t healed, and she often had headaches due to her longing for him, causing her sleepless nights. What’s more, she dared not tell her parents for fear that they might worry and develop even more hatred toward Huo Beijiang.
During that time, she either forced herself to focus on studies or stood blankly in front of his house.
Nan Fei found herself ridiculous.
Perhaps she was too wishful thinking! She thought she was the person who knew Huo Beijiang best in the world, but reality had slapped her hard in the face.
The two of them had been together for ten years in their previous lives, even if there were no feelings, limited meetings. But it was ten whole years! Not ten days, not ten months, but ten years.
Even if they were enemies, they should know everything there is to know, understand everything there is to understand.
But it wasn’t until he disappeared that she realized that in both their past and present lives, she was only the one being understood.
Huo Beijiang knew her like the back of his hand, but she knew nothing about him.
This made Nan Fei feel defeated and unable to accept the reality.
While she was so angry with him, so hateful towards him, but she can’t help longing for him.
She had made up her mind to ignore him, but the first thought that came to her mind when he showed up was joy, excitement, and disbelief.
She hadn’t even said anything yet, but she had already softened her heart.
“Such a disgrace! If I had known, I wouldn’t have fallen for him.” Nan Fei was irritated, she had never thought that liking someone could cause her to lose control over her own heart.
“If it were before, I would have wanted Huo Beijiang to stay as far away from me as possible, I was simply irritated by the sight of him.” She wouldn’t confine herself in a prison of her own drawing, unable to walk out.
