âChange into what way?â Yi Jingxi turned back and said with a dry voice, âI sent Xu Zhengxuan to prison. She hates my guts. What else can I do but this?â
âYouâre keeping her around, but I worry that you might be pushing her heart further and further away.â Zeng Zhun sighed. âIs this what you want? The guy named Xiao Si, perhaps, doesnât mind her past...â
Yi Jingxi gripped his phone and asked, âMaybe he doesnât mind, but what about his family?â
âThen what about her heart? Sheâll hate you more and more. Youâre stimulating her with Zhong Yi, and you want her to be jealous. But, have you ever thought that she might grow antipathy to all these? Jingxi, think about it. You donât need to destroy the relationship between you and her for the hatred between you and Xu Zhengxuan. Donât go too far. Sheâs a woman, and she has nothing left.â
Yi Jingxi paused, as if he was suddenly disabled from moving.
âAnd donât you forget about Luosangâs mother. These years, youâve taken everything that her mother sent her, but that doesnât mean her mother wonât try finding her. You know her motherâs name, so you should know who she is. If she knows that her daughterâs life has become like this, sheâll definitely do something,â Zeng Zhun reminded Yi Jingxi.
Hearing that, Yi Jingxiâs veins throbbed in his temples. He fretfully grabbed the cigarette case on the table, lighted up a cigarette, puffed on it a few times, then responded in a hoarse voice, âSo I can never let her go out of my control. I wonât let her and her mother ever see each other.â
A cruel look flashed across his eyes that made Zeng Zhun shiver in fear.
...
When Luosang returned from shopping, Zeng Zhun had left. Yi Jingxi was in the living room reading files, didnât even glance at her.
Lousang went to the kitchen and made three dishes. After she served the food, Yi Jingxi walked over. When finding that all the foods on the table were his favorite, his throat squirmed slightly.
She did remember what he liked.
Yi Jingxi tasted the foods, then said abruptly, âYour culinary skill has improved quite a lot.â
Lousang paused slightly, then gave a sarcastic smile in her heart.
She used to be a spoiled girl. She had a cook, so she never needed to cook for herself. However, later on, when she was all alone, she needed to learn everything. Fortunately, she was a good learner. She slowly figured out how to cook, and after spending a while with Sister Lan, her culinary skills advanced rapidly.
Yi Jingxi kicked the empty chair beside her and said, âSit down and eat with me.â
âIâm good. I had lunch in the kitchen,â said Lousang flatly.
Yi Jingxi raised his head and said with a dark look, âWho gave you permission to eat the food there?â
Lousang remained silent for a short while, then took out five yuan from her trousers pocket, put it on the table, and said, âI only had some plain rice. I didnât even touch the dishes. What I ate is worth no more than this. Iâm paying you, alright?â
The disgust and hatred that suddenly appeared in her eyes made Yi Jingxi feel a dull pain in his heart. How could he possibly treat her so stingily? He was just mad at her because she wouldnât eat together with him.
Thinking of her eating plain rice alone in the kitchen, Yi Jingxi felt his heart ache, so much so that he couldnât even breathe.
As Yi Jingxi didnât say anything, Luosang turned and left, saying, âIâm doing the cleaning now.â
âMake dinner earlier. Iâm playing mahjong with my friends tonight. Youâll go = with me to serve us,â said Yi Jingxi with a deep voice.
Luosang frowned, turned back, and said alertly, âYouâll have people to serve you over there; why do you want me to go? Youâre not planning to send me to your mahjong friendsâ beds, are you?â
âWhat are you talking about?â Hearing that, Yi Jingxiâs eyes turned slightly red. He couldnât believe that Luosang would think him as someone who would do that kind of thing.
