C278 (1/2)

Do I have to wait for the new year?

Actually, she felt that it was very strange that she could still maintain her cool and analyze the pros and cons of this situation.

Perhaps, this was the growth of a person?

Half an hour had already passed by the time Zhu Lingling arrived at his destination, and this was only because the city was currently in a good condition, and had missed the peak.

After seeing her, she sat down and asked Shen Xiran: ”What exactly do you mean by that?”

Shen Xiran stirred the coffee with his spoon, smelling the sweet scent, and said: ”Actually it's nothing, it's just that, previously he kept pestering me, and then I agreed, but later on I said that there was a time limit, so we agreed that he would return in half a month, and not bother me anymore.”

”But …” Zhu Lingling looked at him carefully: ”I feel that you seem to have fallen in love with him.”

According to her, she was forced to do this by that fellow Si Lianye. However, looking at the pain in her eyes and the unconcealable rage, it could only mean one thing.

Whether it was forced or not, falling in love was still love. There was no reason to say it, otherwise, if she really didn't fall in love, then what she revealed now should be an expression of relief.

Her face changed and she lowered her head, not saying anything.

Zhu Lingling sighed, and reached out to grab her hand: ”You're too stupid.” Actually, she had already seen through the situation. Her feelings for Si Lianye didn't seem to be simple, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

Now that he saw how trapped she was in love, he felt guilty.

A drop of water dripped down and landed on her hand.

Zhu Lingling was stunned, ”You … ”You're crying …”

How terrifying was this? She was crying? God, it's not true!

She had known Shen Xiran for a long time. Even though she had been receiving all sorts of terrifying treatments in the hospital every single day, she had never shown a single sign of being unable to endure it, not to mention crying.

She sucked in a breath of cold air, feeling even more uncomfortable. If she had warned her when she saw the signs of danger, wouldn't things have been different?

She didn't know, she only knew that her good friend, who had always been strong, was now crying in front of her.

She was so ashamed that she could barely speak. ”You …” Don't cry, maybe it's just a misunderstanding? Your man is so handsome and rich, maybe someone wants to blackmail him and let him have a photo of himself? Don't you think so? ”

What she said made sense. She almost wanted to praise herself, but then she saw her friend still shaking her head, sobbing, ”Don't comfort me, I know that photo is real.”

”Why?” she blurted out.

She shook her head, grabbed a tissue to wipe her face. Suddenly, she felt ashamed of herself for losing her composure. ”I'm not sure if that photo is real or not, but I know that the person in the photo is definitely real.”

Being together with him for so many days, she understood Si Lianye the same way Si Lianye understood her. She also understood Si Lianye as well, there was an inconspicuous birthmark on his arm, maybe he didn't even know it, but she accidentally discovered it.

And in those photographs, she had found the same birthmark, which was why she felt so bad. Such a recognition made it impossible for her to deceive herself in the end.

Zhu Lingling still wanted to ask more, but looking at her defeated expression, she didn't have the heart to ask anymore.

She sighed softly. ”Well, are you really going to break up with him now?”

Shen Xiran threw the tissue back onto the table fiercely. ”Of course we have to break up.

Zhu Lingling heaved a sigh of relief: ”Alright, I won't worry about you then.”

Just as he was saying that, Shen Xiran's phone suddenly lit up.

Their gazes immediately rested on her phone, and they were able to quickly tell that it was Si Lianye calling.

Zhu Lingling laughed coldly, ”I finally remember you.”

The matter only opened up after a few hours. It seemed like it was as Shen Xiran said, did he not have any interest in her anymore?

Shen Xiran's expression darkened, he raised his hand and pressed down on his phone.

”Right, don't be so weak. Let him know that you also have a temper.” Zhu Lingling applauded her actions.

Shen Xiran's face was expressionless as he prepared to put the phone back, but in the end...

Ye Zichen's phone lit up once again and vibrated non-stop.

Zhu Lingling couldn't see the screen this time. She hesitated. ”Or his?”

She glanced at it and nodded. ”Yes.” Then he pressed it.

The phone paused for a moment, then rang again.

This time, she directly shut down her phone without even looking at it, then threw it back into her bag.

Zhu Lingling raised her eyebrows: ”Right, I want to let him see your temper, and let him know that you're not someone to be easily bullied.”

She shook her head, not as she had said, but because … She purely didn't want to hear his voice. It would only make her mood, which she had finally calmed down with great difficulty, uncomfortable again.

It seemed like he had to explain everything to him tonight. Anyway, the agreed time was about to come.

Zhu Lingling looked at her and rolled her eyes. She wanted to let her be in a good mood, so she asked: ”How about, you go with us, Kang Wen seems to be going back home once every two days, we can play together? ”How about it?”
