Chapter 100: 0100 One paranoid, one stubborn
Their voices gradually drifted away, and Gu Heng watched Su Ran’s retreating figure, recalling everything that had just happened, with a touch of confusion.
When did she acquire such impressive skills?
Gu Heng felt slightly bewildered, a sense of panic inexplicably arising within him.
Su Xinyan cried and threw herself into his arms, her tears falling like rain, sobbing deeply.
Gu Heng naturally wrapped his arms around her waist, a simple gesture executed with remarkable proficiency.
He hurriedly cradled Su Xinyan’s face, seeing the swelling starting on both cheeks, especially the right one, with five clear finger marks—Gu Heng’s eyes filled with pain.
“Brother Heng, it hurts so much. Why has sister become ? She has never done anything so extreme before, why would she treat me this way…”
Su Xinyan wept as though her heart was breaking, her face etched with sorrow.
“Sweetheart, just bear with it for a moment, I’ll take you to the hospital right now.”
Gu Heng, restraining the pain in his heart, soothed her in a gentle voice.
It was all his fault, he had not handled Su Ran’s affairs properly, which led her to become so unreasonable, hurting Xinyan time and time again.
Stepping out of the mall, Ye Zhichen felt refreshed.
That was just so satisfying!
Could slapping faces and trouncing scum be this exhilarating?
It wasn’t just good for maintaining a happy body and mind but also for nurturing sentiments!
“Xiao Ran, you were incredible! Now, whenever I think of Gu Heng’s ugly face, I can’t help but want to laugh.”
Su Ran raised an eyebrow, “Is it that funny?”
“Isn’t it?” Ye Zhichen retorted.
Su Ran blinked, pondering, and as she thought, a light laugh escaped her lips.
She covered her mouth with a hand, coughing lightly, and looked at Ye Zhichen.
“How did you get here? Do you need me to give you a ride back?”
Ye Zhichen was about to respond when her phone in her bag rang with a series of brisk tones.
She took out her phone and unlocked it, her pupils suddenly contracting as her complexion dramatically changed.
“Zhichen, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Su Ran watched her face turn increasingly pale and asked with concern.
Ye Zhichen’s eyes flickered, and she quietly put away her phone, a stiff smile forming on her pallid face.
“It’s nothing, just someone sending a prank message.”
Su Ran’s gaze settled on her ashen face.
“It’s not those photos you dread, is it?”
Ye Zhichen tugged at her lips, “You could say that!”
Su Ran’s deep eyes studied her intensely, her piercing gaze as if it could see right through her.
“I have some business at the company; I need to go first. Let’s meet up another time.”
Su Ran observed her for a long while and nodded.
“Okay, do you need me to drive you?”
“No need, I came by car; I’ll leave first.”
Su Ran made sure she had regained her composure and did not insist.
“Alright, take care on the road.”
Ye Zhichen nodded, turned, and left, her receding figure appearing somewhat flurried.
In her cool eyes, a light flickered, but deep down, she sighed heavily.
She had never tried love, so naturally, she didn’t understand its joys and sorrows.
Perhaps there would be a chance in the future, but for now…
As friends, she understood Zhichen’s hesitation, and Zhichen understood her struggles. Their bond was deep, but there were things they never spoke of, simply because…
It tore at the heart and ripped it to pieces.
More and more gazes were being cast her way, and Su Ran frowned slightly, about to go to her car when suddenly, a familiar vehicle stopped in front of her.
PS: If you encounter sentences that seem awkward or disconnected, don’t doubt yourself—it’s been cut by the backend. Chapters 56 and 58 have had two hundred words deleted by the backend. I have already revised it once, but it still got cut without fail, whine whine whine… I don’t even know what sensitive topics I may have touched upon.
PPS: It’s the 100th chapter, my dears! I’m begging for your votes!
