Chapter 158 Tang Zhi took the initiative
Zhai Yijing was concentrating on reviewing the plan in his hand. When he saw Tang Zhi suddenly appear at the door of his office, he instinctively thought that there was an urgent business to be handled. However, as Tang Zhi spoke, he paused and put the plan aside.
Tang Zhi's tone was calm and firm: "I just finished dinner with Lu Qingxi." This sentence was like a small stone thrown into Zhai Yijing's originally calm heart, causing ripples. He noticed that his fists were unconsciously clenched, as if he was trying to suppress something.
Tang Zhi saw this, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She knew Zhai Yijing's feelings for Lu Qingxi, but she also understood the obstacles between them. She took a deep breath and continued, "Don't worry, I'm not going to embarrass her. I just want to know what kind of person the girl you like is."
Zhai Yijing frowned slightly, but this time he did not deny his feelings as usual. He seemed to have said too many things against his will, and suddenly he did not want to pretend anymore. He raised his head and looked at Tang Zhi deeply.
Seeing this, Tang Zhi felt more confident. She continued, "The reason why I went to find Lu Qingxi was because of Zhai Xingchen's hint. He told me that you have special feelings for her." At this point, she felt the faint anger emanating from Zhai Yijing, but she did not back down. Instead, she said more firmly, "Besides, I also heard about your gift of Huancai Liuguang. I think you should know the relationship between you and her better than me. It is impossible for you two. She already has a good boyfriend, and you should not interfere. I think you should know... what to do is best for her."
Zhai Yijing's aura seemed to weaken when he heard this. He was of course aware of how many people and things stood between him and Lu Qingxi, but he couldn't control his emotions. He had been very restrained, not approaching her, nor saying a word to her. He just looked at her silently, occasionally looking for her figure in the crowd.
However, Tang Zhi did not stop there. She took a deep breath, as if to gather all her courage and determination in this moment, and then made a shocking proposal to Zhai Yijing: "Zhai Yijing, we have known each other for so many years. Even if I have never made it clear, I think you should understand my feelings. Now, I want to give you a chance." Her voice revealed an indescribable determination and sincerity, "Let's try to get along, but to the outside world, we only claim to be in a relationship. For two years, if you still don't have any feelings for me during this period, then we will end this relationship, I will let go completely and no longer bother you. Moreover, such a relationship can also dispel unnecessary suspicions, especially the rumors about you and Lu Qingxi."
After hearing Tang Zhi's words, Zhai Yijing's heart was like a storm. He had never thought that Tang Zhi would make such a suggestion, which surprised him and made him feel a sense of relief. He knew that his recent behavior had indeed caused discussions from the outside world, and his relationship with Tang Zhi might really be the fastest way to solve all of this.
He stared at Tang Zhi, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. He knew that this was a major decision that concerned the future of both of them. He thought about it for a long time, and the balance in his heart kept swaying. Finally, he nodded and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Okay, I promise you."
Since the incident at the birthday party, Han Xin has locked herself in her room, enduring the pain and struggle in her heart alone. Han's father and mother also accompanied Han Xin to check the surveillance at that time. They were angry and anxious when they learned that all this was caused by their daughter. However, facing their only precious daughter, they could only helplessly stand guard at the door and comfort Han Xin in a soft voice, hoping that she could let go of her obsession and accept reality.
Han Wan watched all this indifferently not far away. She did not feel sympathy for Han Xin's experience. Instead, she felt a bit of resentment for letting the Han family fall to this point.
With her parents' patient consolation, Han Xin gradually calmed down her inner excitement. Although her eyes were still red, she was no longer crying like before. She sat on the bed, clenching her hands tightly, as if trying to find a little strength. However, every time she closed her eyes, every bit of her and Zhai Xingchen would appear in front of her. They had just held an engagement party not long ago, but those beautiful memories have now become the most painful thorn in her heart.
She recalled how close she was to her dream of marrying Brother Xingchen, as if it was within reach. She had imagined countless times the scene of walking into the marriage hall with Zhai Xingchen, imagining their future happy life. However, all of this turned into a bubble at that birthday party, and she now really had no relationship with her Brother Xingchen.
Every day, Han Xin couldn't help but send messages to Zhai Xingchen, hoping to get a response from him. At first, Zhai Xingchen would occasionally reply to her once or twice, but as time went on, his messages became less and less frequent, until this Tuesday, when Han Xin had not received any response for three consecutive days. This made her feel flustered and began to worry about Zhai Xingchen's feelings.
All the signs before have made Han Xin realize that Zhai Xingchen seems to have only Xiao Lan in his heart. Now that she has lost her engagement with Zhai Xingchen, she is even more worried that he will choose to be with Xiao Lan directly. This fear makes Han Xin unable to bear it anymore, and she decides to go to Zhai's house to find Zhai Xingchen and ask for clarification.
However, Han Xin knew that her parents would not agree to her going to Zhai's house, so she decided to sneak out at night. She avoided her parents' sight and left home carefully. The housekeeper discovered Han Xin's whereabouts and immediately reported the situation to Han Wan. Han Wan sneered and said lightly: "Let her go." She didn't seem to worry about what kind of cold reception Han Xin would receive at Zhai's house, but just looked at it all indifferently.
Han Xin came to Zhai's house with a trepidation, and just stepped out of her family's luxury car. She was about to reach out and ring the doorbell, but suddenly heard a low sound of wheels rolling behind her. She turned her head curiously and saw a limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom Silver slowly approaching, with Zhai Yijing's unique "Jing" logo printed on the front of the car.
The car stopped steadily in front of Han Xin, and the window slowly lowered, revealing Zhai Yijing's cold and majestic face. His eyes were cold and deep, as if he could see through people's hearts. Han Xin's heart tightened, she knew that she had made a serious mistake in Lu Qingxi's matter, and the man in front of her seemed to have special feelings for Lu Qingxi.
At first, Han Xin thought that the rumors about Zhai Yijing and Lu Qingxi were just nonsense, but a few days ago, when she accidentally saw Lu Qingxi's beautiful face on her own surveillance camera, her mind was shaken. At that moment, she finally understood why those men were so fascinated by Lu Qingxi.
At this moment, facing Zhai Yijing's cold and disgusted eyes, Han Xin couldn't help but feel a strong sense of panic in her heart. She knew that her mistakes had brought a lot of trouble to the Han family, and now her only thought was to go in and see Zhai Xingchen.
