“I’m sorry.” Su Zixi gently uttered these three words.
Ning Yichen was stunned, seemingly not expecting her to suddenly soften.
“I’ve already apologized, can you let go of me now?” Su Zixi said with a beaming smile.
Only then did Ning Yichen realize he was still holding her wrist.
Her wrist seemed a bit too delicate… Ning Yichen wondered why this thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he let go.
The moment Ning Yichen released her, Su Zixi suddenly, with lightning speed, backhanded Su Lianxi across the face!
Along with a crisp “smack,” a clear handprint immediately appeared on Su Lianxi’s cheek!
Su Lianxi clasped her burning cheek, her eyes widened in disbelief, while Ning Yichen was shocked and furious! But Su Zixi, after delivering the slap, quickly stepped back several paces, severing Ning Yichen’s chance to stop her!
“Since I’ve already apologized, then this slap had to be real to make it worthwhile.” Su Zixi smiled slightly and walked away with her head held high.
Su Lianxi trembled with anger, her eyes filled with intense hatred, as if she would rush forward and avenge herself immediately! But with Ning Yichen beside her, she could only lower her eyes, collecting all her resentment, and said tearfully, “Yichen…”
Ning Yichen also felt immense heartache, looking at the handprint on Su Lianxi’s face, filled with both anger and regret!
Just in that moment, he had been in a daze, failing to stop Su Zixi in time.
“Lianxi, I’ll take you to the hospital first. I will settle this score with her sooner or later!” Ning Yichen said fiercely.
Su Lianxi felt a bit better inside and said softly, “Yichen, if I had known, I wouldn’t have come to see my sister. I still thought of her as my sister, but in her heart, I’m her enemy.”
“You’re just too innocent. Su Zixi is narrow-minded, she hates your mother, so how could she ever see you as a true sister?” Ning Yichen said, holding her tenderly in his arms.
But in his mind, the carefree smile Su Zixi gave before leaving unexpectedly surfaced.
It seemed as if she had finally let go of something.
Ning Yichen suddenly felt a bit panicked, that nagging feeling of having overlooked something resurfaced, making him restless.
He left the teahouse with Su Lianxi, trying hard to push that strange feeling out of his mind.
After leaving the teahouse, Su Zixi went back to school.
Her right hand still throbbed with pain, as the force of the blow had caused her own palm to swell quickly, burning with pain.
But she still felt refreshed.
She blew on her right hand and then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure.
Su Zixi stopped in her tracks and saw a well-dressed man, Mr. Li, walk up to her with a smile: “Miss Su, we meet again.”
Su Zixi quickly glanced around and indeed spotted a black Bentley under the camphor tree not far away.
She felt a bit angry and said coldly, “Who are you?”
Mr. Li smiled and said, “Who I am is not important, Miss Su. Please get in the car.”
Su Zixi gritted her teeth and turned away, ignoring him.
He Jingyao was being too excessive! Didn’t he promise yesterday, when she helped him with that, that he would pretend not to know her anymore?
Thinking of the scene in the bathroom yesterday, Su Zixi’s cheeks gradually grew hot without her realizing it.
