Shangxin paused lightly in her steps.
She cast a doubtful glance at him. The next moment, she turned around and took a scan of the surroundings, but did not spot Xie Feng.
When Tang Yuansi saw that she was back, he straightened his body slowly and said, âNo need to look. Xie Feng is already gone.â
His gaze tightened at the mention of that name.
Chilliness penetrated that gaze.
Shangxin was astonished, but soon responded swiftly and asked, âDid you chase him away?â
Xie Feng had just confessed to her, but she hadnât replied him yet; even if he had wanted to leave, he would have waited for her to return first.
Unless someone said something to him!
âHis legs are his. Itâs none of my business if he wants to leave.â Tang Yuansi picked up the drink that he had just ordered and took a small sip. After that, he added on, âHeâs not the man for you.â
ââ¦â
Shangxin returned to her senses and narrowed her eyes.
He wasnât saying that he didnât want her to go on blind dates. Instead, he was saying that Xie Feng wasnât the man for her.
So this meant she could go on blind dates as long as it was the right man?
Suddenly, a gust of anger rose in her chest as she pulled the chair out and sat down.
âIf he isnât the right man, then who is? You?â
ââ¦â
âOh yeah, it was indeed very right for us to have sex!â Shangxin bellowed incoherently.
She had already started to regret it when she finished speaking.
They had reached an agreement that one night was enough.
That she would let go and stop pestering him.
But what now?
He must be mocking and despising her in his heart, right?
All of a sudden, Shangxin felt a little awkward. Reaching out, she picked up the cup of water in front of her and gulped down all the contents in it.
Just when she placed the empty cup back onto the table and was about to leave, he opened his mouth faintly and said, âYou are not in very good condition today. Iâll send you back first.â
âNo need. Donât you worry, Iâll act on what Iâve said. I will not take the initiative to appear in front of you and will not pester you anymoreâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, Tang Yuansi had already stood up and put on his coat.
As he strolled to her, he grasped her hand and pulled her up.
âWhat are you doing? Let go of me!â
Just when Shangxin was about to struggle, she heard Tang Yuansiâs deep and low voice say, âI will not stop you if you wish to attract all the reporters.â
ââ¦â
Shangxin couldnât struggle out of his grip and could only glare at him with red-rimmed eyes.
Speaking with frigid irony, she asked, âWhat do you mean by this? You didnât even want to cast a single glance at me when I was chasing and running after you. Yet now, youâre here to interfere with my life when Iâve granted you your freedom. What, do you think that youâve taken my virginity and thus owe me something? Is that why you wanted to examine my next man?â
Tang Yuansiâs hand that was holding onto her hand tightened up silently.
A vexed look flashed past his eyes when he thought of that night.
Shangxinâs heart scrunched up as she observed all the expressions on his face.
She was on the verge of losing her balance. Tilting her head upward, she managed to prevent an outburst of her tears.
She shook his hand off forcefully, but Tang Yuansi did not let go of his grip on her.
He threw his credit card at the waiter to settle their bill and pulled her to the car park.
He opened the door to the car and asked her to get into it.
âIâve already said that I donât need you to send me back. What do you mean by this?â Everything that Shangxin said was completely ignored.
When Tang Yuansi noticed that she wasnât moving, he carried her up and placed her into the car.
After he buckled her up, he closed the car door and locked it.
He made his way to the driverâs seat, pulled the car door open, and sat down inside.
Both his hands were gripping the steering wheel forcefully, but he did not drive off immediately.
When he saw her reddened eyes, the look in his eyes turned very, very dark.
Both of them were at a stalemate for a very long time. In the end, he couldnât bear to see her being upset and said, âXie Feng is not the right person for you. Even if you want to go on blind dates, you should find someone that you like.â
