Chapter 64: Chapter 64: He Must Never Know the Truth

“By the way, did Su Zixi really admit that she took the uniform? And she spoke so easily?” Su Lianxi asked casually.

“Not only that, but she also confessed that she had malicious intentions when she hid the uniform!” Ning Yichen said with a cold laugh.

Su Lianxi’s smile almost fell from her face. Although Ning Yichen was scolding Su Zixi, to Su Lianxi, it sounded like he was scolding her.

If Yichen knew the truth…

No, he would never know!

A wave of fear swept through Su Lianxi’s heart, and she quickly changed the subject, her face carrying a curious look, “By the way, Yichen, does this uniform hold any special meaning for you?”

Ning Yichen gently stroked the epaulette on the uniform, his expression nostalgic, “I joined the navy at eighteen and served for three years. The day you saved me was actually the day I retired, so I was wearing this uniform.”

“Yichen, you looked so handsome,” Su Lianxi said admiringly.

Ning Yichen smiled, “That day, if I hadn’t been wearing this uniform, I might not have been so daring to rush into the middle of the road to save that girl. Even though I was in a coma for three years, I don’t regret it, because I met you.”

He looked tenderly at Su Lianxi and grasped her hand tightly.

Su Lianxi returned the smile.

However, from Ning Yichen’s words, she caught on to a piece of information: so the person Yichen saved back then was a girl.

Speaking of which, three years ago, she too had been pushed aside by someone, thereby saving her life…n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wait a second!

Su Lianxi’s gaze again fell on the navy uniform, the sea blue color… suddenly overlapped with a piece of clothing from her memory.

She seemed to realize something, her complexion suddenly turning as pale as paper! The fear in her eyes was almost impossible to hide!

Could it be, could it be that the one who had saved her back then… was Ning Yichen…

That day, she was too panicked, seeing her rescuer lying in a pool of blood, she thought he was dead, so she ran away in panic… This incident had always been deeply buried in her heart, not told to a second person!

It turned out, the man she left lying in a pool of blood, was Ning Yichen!

She shivered, her mind occupied by only one thought: absolutely, absolutely must not let him know the truth!

Seeing her expression suddenly change drastically, Ning Yichen showed concern, “Lianxi, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” She forced a smile, “By the way, Yichen, I still need to prepare for tonight’s contract signing… I’ll come to keep you company after I successfully sign the contract, okay?”

Ning Yichen, unsuspecting, smiled, “Go ahead. Don’t worry, the leading role is definitely yours.”

Su Lianxi forced a smile, steadied herself, and walked out of the hospital room. She kept walking all the way to the restroom where she hid in a stall and finally relaxed.

She raised a hand, noticing her forehead was covered in sweat.

Don’t scare yourself, Yichen will know nothing. Hasn’t she already made all the necessary preparations? Even Su Zixi, who was directly involved, had given up, so what did she have to fear?

Thinking this, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang.

Su Lianxi checked the caller ID, quickly put on a smile, and answered, “Director Chen, hello!”

“Miss Su.” Director Chen Xudong said in a strictly business-like manner, “Regarding your role as the female lead, there has been a change. The investors have pushed their own candidate, so unfortunately, we may not be able to work together.”
