Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Apology
Editor: Atlas Studios
“Su Zixi, no matter what you say about me, I don’t care, but if you dare insult my mother, every time I see you, I’ll hit you!” Su Zixi spat out harshly.
“I didn’t!” Su Lianxi panicked and lifted her head, looking at Ning Yichen with a face full of grievance, “Yichen, I really didn’t! I know my sister has been looking for her mother’s ashes, so I wanted to help… but my sister misunderstood me.”
Ning Yichen pulled Su Lianxi into his arms, comforting her tenderly, “I believe you, don’t be afraid.”
Su Zixi suddenly found this scene unbearably glaring.
Actually, she knew that Ning Yichen was also someone who had been deceived. From his perspective, trusting Su Lianxi was what a reliable boyfriend should do.
But Su Zixi still felt deeply hurt. Three years of effort, three years of expectations, and the feelings that gradually grew over those three years couldn’t be easily dismissed.
“Su Zixi, if Lianxi said something that made you misunderstand, I apologize on her behalf,” Ning Yichen said coldly, looking at her.
“There’s no need.” Su Zixi looked away.
“Now, it’s your turn to apologize to her.” Ning Yichen glared at her.
Su Zixi suddenly lifted her head, gritting her teeth, “Impossible!”
“If you don’t apologize, I won’t let you leave.” Ning Yichen said calmly.
Su Zixi’s chest heaved with anger. She looked at Ning Yichen, her eyes astonishingly bright, “I will never apologize to her!”
Ning Yichen frowned slightly.
Su Zixi’s gaze was too stubborn. Within that stubbornness, there seemed to be a trace of grievance.
He suddenly felt a bit annoyed. That kind of look made it seem like he was the one being unreasonable.
However, he believed Su Lianxi wouldn’t say anything excessive. At most, she might have accidentally offended her, but was that worth holding a grudge?
Thinking of this, Ning Yichen’s distaste for her grew a bit stronger.
“Yichen, let it go.” Su Lianxi tugged at his sleeve, whispering, “After all, I was wrong to begin with. I thought my sister would accept my goodwill… I was too presumptuous.”
As she spoke, she even gave a faint, bitter smile, as if feeling completely disheartened.
Su Zixi couldn’t help but feel like clapping for her performance.
Su Lianxi truly deserved to study acting; her skills were superb. Even to Su Zixi, it seemed like she herself was the unreasonable one.
Let alone Ning Yichen.
Hearing Su Lianxi say this, Ning Yichen’s anger indeed surged. He glared at Su Zixi, “Apologize!”
Su Zixi turned and started to walk away.
Ning Yichen quickly grabbed her wrist, his voice icy, “Apologize to Lianxi!”
Su Zixi looked at the hand gripping her wrist, her expression a mix of sorrow and joy.
Ning Yichen’s hand was long and clean, with thin fingertips that didn’t look overly feminine. It was a very beautiful hand.
Back when he was lying on the hospital bed, Su Zixi had frequently wiped his hands many times and touched his hands countless times.
She had imagined what it would be like if Ning Yichen woke up and took her hand willingly.
Now, this scene had finally occurred, but under such circumstances.
Seeing her remain silent, Ning Yichen became even more irritated. Her expression always made him feel like he had committed a huge mistake without knowing it.
“Su Zixi, apologize!” he demanded again, his tone growing harsher!
At that moment, he saw Su Zixi suddenly break into a radiant smile.
