Chapter 435: Chapter 435 Shallow Fondness
Ning Yichen pursed his lips tightly, feeling the rising and falling of Su Lianxi’s body beneath him.
He tried to strip off her clothes, but every cell in his body resisted, screaming for escape.
He closed his eyes briefly, ripping off Su Lianxi’s sleepwear as delicate as a cicada’s wing, yet in the ambiguous glow of the lamp, the scene that flooded his mind was completely out of sync with the current setting.
It was a vision of him lying in a hospital bed, with Su Zixi sitting by his side, looking down at him with tender and shy eyes.
A fierce burning sensation suddenly seized his chest!
The next second, Ning Yichen leaped up from Su Lianxi’s body!
He couldn’t just give up! Even if… hope was faint…
He couldn’t use this method to sever the final, fragile possibility between them…
Su Lianxi felt a sudden lightness as Ning Yichen abruptly let go of her.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she heard the hurried footsteps and the sound of a door opening…
Su Lianxi immediately panicked, reaching to pull the pillowcase from her face and took in Ning Yichen’s hasty departing figure in full view.
“Ning Yichen!” she cried out with sobs in her voice, “You come back to me! If you don’t want the Ning Family to fall out of favor with the President, you come back!”
Ning Yichen’s steps halted, and he turned back and gave her a cold smile, “Go ahead and tattle! Let everyone know just how much I disgust you.”
Su Lianxi was staggered! Her face fiercely stern, yet inwardly apprehensive: “You think I really wouldn’t dare?”
“Su Lianxi, I don’t know what methods you used to make the President’s wife willing to back you up,” Ning Yichen said with a contemptuous sneer, “but I know you. If you really had that much influence over the President Mansion, your ambitions wouldn’t be limited to this.”
This woman might claim to like him, but her affections were so superficial they were hardly worth mentioning.
What truly satisfied her was her vanity, her ambition to be superior to others.
Yet, after gaining favor from the President’s wife, her actions were to force him into her bed, to expedite pregnancy.
Such demands were more akin to gambling.
It only proved that Su Lianxi was well aware that she didn’t actually have that much influence, so she needed to secure what chips she could before anyone else realized it.
Pregnancy was the chip that would allow her to establish a foothold in the Ning Family. Once she successfully bore a child, he couldn’t divorce her easily.
All she did was to gain a foothold in the Ning Family. This was not Su Lianxi’s style!
Hearing Ning Yichen’s words, Su Lianxi’s heart began to pound violently, her breathing turning rapid!
Ning Yichen, observing the sudden dilation of her pupils, knew instantly that he had guessed correctly.
He flashed a mocking smile and turned to leave with large strides.
“Ning Yichen! You will regret this!” Su Lianxi screamed desperately after his retreating figure.
But Ning Yichen remained unaffected.
She collapsed at the staircase, her entire being as if soulless.
Why, why despite all her efforts, could she still not get what she wanted?
The deep autumn night suddenly brought forth a persistent drizzle.
Ning Yichen burst out of the villa and into the rain. He left so hastily that he didn’t even have time to put on a coat, his shirt quickly drenched by the drizzle.
But at this moment, he couldn’t care less.
He flagged down a taxi in a rush, and once inside, he realized he had no idea where Su Zixi was.
It didn’t matter. As long as she was in Yangdong City, he could find her!
