Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Some People, Once Missed, Are Missed Forever
After Liu Minjun left, Su Zixi lost her appetite.
She left the hospital room, planning to visit He Jingyao next door.
But as she stepped out of the room, the first thing she saw was Ning Yichen leaning against the wall.
His expression was calm, and his posture of waiting without resentment made Su Zixi’s heart twinge slightly.
“Ning Yichen,” she softly began.
Only then did he look up, giving a slight smile, “How are you?”
Su Zixi shook her head, “I’m fine. And, thank you for today.”
“You don’t have to think about it,” Ning Yichen’s voice was a bit hoarse, “compared to all you’ve done for me, this is nothing.”
Su Zixi pursed her lips, “I’ve already said, you don’t owe me anything…”
“Owing or not is not for you to decide,” Ning Yichen interrupted her, then gave a self-deprecating smile, “I know, you just disdain my attempt at compensation.”
Suddenly, Su Zixi didn’t know what to say.
“Su Zixi,” he called her name hoarsely, “I still say the same thing, you… do have choices.”
“But,” Su Zixi felt a bit amused, “you’re already married to Su Lianxi.”
“That’s just temporary, in at most two months I will divorce her!” he explained somewhat awkwardly, “You know that.”
“I’m sorry,” Su Zixi thought about it, then decided to make it clear, “Ning Yichen, no matter what happened between Jingyao and me, there is no possibility between us anymore, do you understand?”
To her, Ning Yichen had once been her faith and expectation, but at the same time, he also represented the timid and insecure part of her past.
Thus, even if one day she and He Jingyao parted ways, she would not choose Ning Yichen. Because, some mistakes are just mistakes.
Some people, if missed, are missed.
Ning Yichen seemed as if he’d been punched hard, his complexion turning as pale as paper!
He stared at her for a long time, eventually giving a faint smile, “Then, whatever decision I make, it’s also my own business.”
Su Zixi suddenly felt very powerless.
“I should go,” he said hoarsely, “You were going to see He Jingyao, right? I won’t keep you.”
After speaking, he gave her a deep look before turning and leaving, his back carrying a rushed and sorrowful air.
Su Zixi watched his retreating figure, motionless for a long time.
Her heart wasn’t unaffected… after all, Ning Yichen hadn’t really done anything wrong; if he hadn’t been deceived, perhaps things would have been different.
Suddenly, her right wrist was fiercely grasped, and then, a strong force came!
By the time she realized who it was, her entire body was already pinned against the wall by He Jingyao!
He had changed into clean clothes, emitting the fresh scent of shower gel, his tall body pressing close to her, overwhelmingly imposing.
“He’s gone, and you still can’t let go, huh?” his eyes narrowed slightly, his deep voice carrying a dangerous tone.
“I’m not lingering…” Su Zixi quickly shook her head, giving him a pleading smile, “Um, have you finished your examination? Did the results come out?”
He Jingyao gave her a deep look, seizing her wrist, “Come with me.”
Su Zixi dared not resist, obediently following him into the hospital room.
As soon as she stepped in, He Jingyao forcefully shut the door, then pushed her against the door panel, seized her wrist, and fiercely bit her lip!
