Chapter 210: Chapter 210 He is Not Without Opportunity
“I tried to tell you the truth before, but then I saw how well you treated Su Lianxi, and I thought you must really like her. If you knew the truth, you might end up hating me even more.” Su Zixi gave a self-deprecating laugh, “Besides, you have always disliked me so much. If you found out the person who saved you was someone you detest, perhaps you would be even angrier.”
Ning Yichen was visibly shaken, his lips nearly colorless.
He wanted to say that it wasn’t like that, he had never hated her, his cruel behavior towards her was precisely because he had started having feelings for her, but…
But what right did he have to say such things?
“Zhixi, I’m sorry.” In the end, he could only express these three words, “I’m sorry for all the wrongs you’ve suffered, and also, thank you for saving me back then.”
“Don’t mention it.” Su Zixi shook her head, “Your sister has already thanked me on your behalf. If you really want to thank me… then pay back the money, the medical expenses I paid for you back then, all together must have been three or four hundred thousand. Pay me back that amount, and we can call it even, and you won’t have to feel guilty.”
Su Zixi said it lightly.
After all, she was in need of money right now. If Ning Yichen wanted to repay her, paying back the money was the best way to do it.
Moreover, that was the money she had earned through hard work, and it was right for her to want it back.
Ning Yichen was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to make such a request. Still, he took out a credit card from his pocket: “This credit card has a seven-digit limit, take it for now.”
Su Zixi frowned slightly, “There’s no need for a credit card, do you have any cash? Even a few hundred would do.”
She only had two hundred left in her bank account and had to plan ahead.
Ning Yichen looked at her in surprise, “Zhixi, haven’t you married He Jingyao? Why are you still short of money?”
Su Zixi felt somewhat embarrassed, “That’s my business, if you’re willing to pay, then pay. If not, forget it.”
Saying this, she turned to leave.
“Wait!” Ning Yichen’s pale face finally showed a slight smile.
Perhaps, he wasn’t completely out of chances.
“Is there an ATM nearby? I don’t have that much cash on me,” he said, with an air of newfound lightness.
She had asked Ning Yichen to repay the money, hoping to quickly sever their entanglement… but the way things were now seemed a bit off…
“Let me help you carry your stuff back to the dorm first.” Ning Yichen smiled faintly, taking the bags and heading towards the dormitory building.
Su Zixi was taken aback, and seeing him starting to go upstairs, she had no choice but to follow him.
“Ning Yichen, you didn’t escape from your wedding, did you? What are you going to do now?” Su Zixi asked anxiously.
“Are you concerned about me?” he said with a light smile.
“No, I’m afraid you’ll drag me into this! You fleeing your wedding to come here… I’m worried your family won’t let me off the hook!” Su Zixi thought, frustrated.
Ning Yichen had done such a capricious thing! One could imagine the impact it must have had on the Ning Family’s reputation. If they blamed her, what would she do if they started troubling her?
“They won’t,” Ning Yichen’s voice was a bit hoarse, “I won’t let them hurt you.”
Su Zixi found his tone a bit strange and couldn’t help frowning.
Seeing that the dormitory was close at hand, Su Zixi quickly took the bags from him, “You wait here, I’ll go put my things down.”
