Chapter 188: Chapter 188 They Are Arguing
“Brussels, Belgium,” Adam pushed his glasses up, “left this morning. There’s been a business summit that started recently in Europe, and the president was invited to attend. It’s expected to last about a week.”
That really is a long time.
Su Zixi suddenly felt an immense sense of loss inside her. She bit her lip, struggling to regain her composure for quite a while.
“Young Mistress, shall I call the president now and tell him…”
“No need,” Su Zixi managed a smile and shook her head, “Don’t tell him anything. I’m leaving.”
Having said that, Su Zixi turned and entered the elevator again.
How could this happen… They were still arguing, yet he went on a business trip without saying a word. Shouldn’t he have at least told her?
No, that’s wrong. They were arguing, why should he tell her.
At that thought, Su Zixi felt even sadder.
She suddenly realized with certainty that to him, she might just be a diversion in his life. She used to be so naive, so easy to deceive, and he took every opportunity to tease and play with her.
But now, as she’s become less gullible and more troublesome, he just throws her aside…
After all, she knew so little about his world.
Walking out of the HI Building, Su Zixi felt utterly dejected. The outside world bustled with traffic, but she had never felt so alone.
Not far away, an LED display was broadcasting the news, and in a daze, Su Zixi thought she heard Ning Yichen’s name.
“…The son of Minister Ning Yuanxiu, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ning Yichen, is to be married in seven days. The bride-to-be is a Miss Su, and preparations for the wedding are currently underway, with invitations sent to prominent figures in politics and business…”
Yes, he too was about to marry Su Lianxi.
Su Zixi suddenly gave a bitter smile. Perhaps when one is sad, negative emotions can suddenly become overwhelming… She thought of many things, her initial passion, Ning Yichen’s repeated coldness and loathing, and Su Lianxi’s triumphant demeanor.
But what she thought of the most was He Jingyao.
She had never expected to meet him, but without a doubt, her life had only begun to sparkle after meeting him. He had given her the trust and indulgence she had once dreamed of.
The only woman he could be close to was her, so that’s why she had all that she encountered. Shouldn’t she feel lucky?
It turns out that being greedy really does get punished. She had hoped for too much, so maybe the heavens were angry and were about to take away even what she now had?
What could happen in a week… She had never felt a week could be so interminably long.
She was lost in her thoughts for a long time until a shadow appeared before her, and someone stood in front of her.
“Zhixi?” The voice carried a hint of uncertainty.
The voice sounded slightly familiar.
Su Zixi looked up, her eyes widening in surprise: “Shenhan?”
“It is you.” Yun Shenhan smiled, “Why are you standing here? What happened?”
“Nothing much…” Su Zixi forced a smile and shook her head.
“Are you thinking about Jingyao?” Yun Shenhan chuckled, “He only left this morning. You two have been apart for… what, three hours at most?”
He said as he glanced at his watch.
Su Zixi paused… so Yun Shenhan knew about the trip as well, but she, his wife, knew nothing.
She didn’t know whether to blame herself for her negligence or to feel sad because he had never mentioned it to her.
