However, Nie Xi also knew that Xing Shu did feel something for Cheng Lang and injected real feelings into the relationship. Since she did, she should not be trampled on. Therefore, she did not say anything and yawned. “It looks like President Cheng will accompany Xing Shu to the banquet. I’m relieved to hear that. I still have something on, so I’ll make a move first.”
Nie Xi came and left quickly. When she was waiting for the elevator, she stared blankly at the jumping elevator number. After a long time, she laughed self-deprecatingly. “So Nie Heng is the only douchebag.” Nie Heng clearly had someone he liked; his fiancée. But, he still screwed her with a clear conscience.
When he was in a bad mood, he humiliated her to the extreme. Although Cheng Lang did not understand love, he was willing to break his principles for the woman he had slept with. Even if it was not often, it was enough to make one fall for him.
In the apartment, Xing Shu pushed the credit card back.
of him. “Can’t I upgrade to a more magnificent cage for the Little Canary?”
Xing Shu paused for a moment before realizing that Cheng Lang was asking her to change her house. His way of expressing his thoughts was really unique.
Xing Shu looked at the credit card and did not accept it. After upgrading to a more magnificent cage, would the canary still be able to leave in the future? She knew that she had some feelings for Cheng Lang, but she knew even better that they were not from the same world.
Xing Shu said, “A villa worth more than 20 million yuan is enough. You are already a very good sugar daddy.”
“I don’t care for this paltry sum of money.” Cheng Lang frowned and said calmly. He looked at the rejected credit card and felt a little depressed. This was the first time he had been rejected by someone when offering them money.
Xing Shu choked and replied with mirth. “I know that you don’t lack money, but the 30 million yuan Nie Heng gave me was on account of you. If I take your money again, it’ll be too avaricious.” As she spoke, she sorted out the documents on the coffee table. “The restaurant recommended by Senior last time was good. Are you free tonight? I’ll treat you to a meal.’
Cheng Lang replied, “I’m free at 10:00 p.m..”
Xing Shu: “…” Then they would be there to drink dishwashing water. She rolled her eyes and looked at Cheng Lang’s hand on the coffee table. She slowly covered it. “If you’re only free until 10:00 p.m., should I wait for you in bed?”
Cheng Lang looked up and met Xing Shu’s eyes. “Sure. It’s much more sincere than a meal.”
Xing Shu’s face turned red and her heart raced. However, she noted that Jian Yaochuan was still there and did not dare to continue speaking. She felt her mouth go dry.
Jian Yaochuan tactfully stared at his knees and pretended not to hear the flirtatious conversation between Cheng Lang and Xing Shu.
Xing Shu took a deep breath and tried her best to change the topic. “Do you have a meeting in the afternoon?”
Cheng Lang stared at her face and did not answer. After all, Xing Shu’s face had been slapped a few times and the swelling had not subsided. Although she had been treated briefly in the hospital, Xing Shu’s skin was tender and there were still some traces of the abuse. But they were not very obvious. When Xing Shu went to the washroom just now, she specially checked her face. It was still a little swollen in the morning. It was probably even more obvious last night. It had been hard on Cheng Lang to still screw her last night despite her face.
“Who slapped you?” It was not that Cheng Lang did not notice the abnormality on Xing Shu’s face last night. But compared to the swelling on her face, Xing Shu’s mood last night was even worse. Now that he saw that her mood had eased a little, he asked her. Was it someone from the Xing or Cheng family? Was she so easily bullied?
Xing Shu did not say anything. She only felt a lump in her throat. She had her pride. Perhaps it was because of the environment she grew up in, she felt ashamed to be humiliated or to ask for a favor. She did not like people knowing about those humiliating incidents. This was the only bit of dignity she had left. Chen Ru and Cheng Gang did not only inflict physical harm on her, but also mental imprisonment.
Seeing that Xing Shu did not answer, Cheng Lang raised his hand and pinched her chin. He looked straight into her eyes. Cheng Lang’s eyelids were very thin. When he closed them, he looked imposing.
Xing Shu’s face heated up. Seeing that Jian Yaochuan was still there, she looked embarrassed and anxious.
Jian Yaochuan got up tactfully and went to the kitchen to help. After he left, Xing Shu felt much more at ease. Her eyes were red from being forced, and she looked a little pitiful. Cheng Lang did not like pitiful things. Being weak meant being bullied.
However, when he saw Xing Shu’s pitiful look, Cheng Lang’s tone softened a little. “Why are you crying?” He put down his hand and said to Xing Shu, “If anyone hits you, hit them back. If anything happens, I’m here.. What are you afraid of?”
