Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Rescue (2)
The car arrived at the villa’s entrance, and Ning Yichen, dressed in a white suit, got out first. He walked to the other side, opened the door, and reached out his hand to Su Lianxi.
Su Lianxi couldn’t help but meet his gaze.
“Madam,” Ning Yichen’s tone carried a hint of mockery, “we’re home.”
Su Lianxi held back before placing her hand in his. Ning Yichen smiled, led her out of the car, and returned home with impeccable demeanor.
However, as soon as they entered the living room, Ning Yichen immediately let go of Su Lianxi’s hand as if she were some disgusting, dirty thing.
Su Lianxi’s eyes reddened, and she couldn’t help choking up, “Yichen…”
They had lunch at the foreign minister’s home at noon, and at that time, he had been so gentle with her that she almost thought everything was the same as before.
But in the end, it was all a deceit.
“Shut up.” Ning Yichen coldly cut off her words and turned to walk to the bedroom.
The white suit, signifying his newlywed status, was a great irony for Ning Yichen.
After entering the bedroom, Ning Yichen was about to change clothes when his phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID: Ning Ruixin.
Ning Yichen hesitated for a moment but picked up the call anyway, “Sis.”
“Yichen, there’s a bit of news, not sure if you’re interested,” Ning Ruixin drawled.
“What news?” Ning Yichen frowned, his tone somewhat impatient, “Speak plainly.”
“Alright, I’ll get straight to the point.” Ning Ruixin let out a light “tsk,” “Su Zixi has been kidnapped. The He Family is short on people. Perhaps you’d be interested in helping?”
“Kidnapped?” Ning Yichen’s face turned pale, then he took a deep breath, “What exactly happened? Tell me clearly!”
“I only know so much; the details are up to you to find out,” Ning Ruixin huffed, “I do have some men I can lend you. After all, they’re special forces… they also need to keep in practice.”
“Good, gather your men. I’ll take them there immediately!” Ning Yichen said without hesitation, “However, I won’t thank you for it!”
Ning Ruixin laughed heartily, “Looks like you’ve gotten smarter!”
Ning Yichen pursed his lips, his chest heaving.
Ning Ruixin was kindly informing him of this news and even planning to lend him some manpower, simply to leave an impression with their father that “he is not steady enough.”
Even if this was a trap, he would still jump in, because… the person in trouble now was Su Zixi!
Even if he held no unspoken affection for her, just for everything she had once done for him, he couldn’t remain indifferent!
After hanging up the call, Ning Yichen couldn’t even bother to change clothes anymore and walked out of the room.
Su Lianxi, seeing him appear, still not giving up, tried to speak with him but was rudely pushed aside by Ning Yichen! Now, he had no trace of compassion for her, let alone the least bit of respect.
Su Lianxi staggered, watching Ning Yichen’s figure disappear through the door, and tears streamed down her face.
Why… why had she and Yichen come to this!
It was not until this moment that she realized how precious the Ning Yichen who once cared for her was, and how much… she longed for him.
She finally realized that she had always loved him, but was there still a chance for her to make amends?
Su Lianxi thought painfully…
