It’s not wrong to like soone, to try hard to pursue soone, but you can’t lower yourself to the dust.
She will always rember the words Cheng Zhiyan said.
"That was when I thought I wouldn’t like you. Xiao Xi, I’m sorry, for the things I said before that hurt you." Cheng Zhiyan’s deep eyes rarely showed a trace of guilt.
He was an arrogant person, to apologize to her, Helian Xi, and he was actually apologizing to her. Helian Xi was montarily stunned.
"Are you apologizing to ?" Helian Xi’s pretty almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes, I hope you can forgive ," Cheng Zhiyan said sincerely.
"Forget it." Helian Xi opened her mouth, finally sighing as she spoke.
"Have you forgiven then?" Cheng Zhiyan asked with so anticipation.
"It’s not about forgiveness or not; you weren’t wrong either. After all, I did cause you trouble. It’s fair for you to dislike ." Helian Xi’s words were indeed a bit resentful.
She was a daughter of the Helian Family, cherished and pampered since childhood. Almost anything she wanted, she had.
Her family’s status was far higher than that of the Cheng Family.
Most people around her dared not provoke her, yet she encountered resistance from Cheng Zhiyan. But people like challenges, don’t they!
Maybe because of that, she stubbornly wanted to be close to him. And eventually, she fell for him.
"The way you talk proves you haven’t forgiven ." Cheng Zhiyan’s expression was downcast, but he slightly curved his lips. "I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dinner. I’ve already booked the restaurant—the one you often visit."
"I’m not hungry." Helian Xi was embarrassed, and just after she said that, her stomach grumbled.
"Are you really not hungry?" Cheng Zhiyan teased, "Today, I specifically asked them to save a free-range chicken for you, to make stewed chicken with mushrooms."
Seeing that Helian Xi’s expression relaxed a bit, Cheng Zhiyan continued, "Last ti when I invited you to dinner, you left without eating. Let’s make up for it today. Please, feel no burden."
"I’m not burdened at all!" Helian Xi’s expression was a bit complicated; she still liked Cheng Zhiyan on one hand, but was still a bit annoyed on the other.
However, weighing it all, the liking still prevailed.
"I’ll go get the car first; will you wait for at the school gate?" Cheng Zhiyan asked.
"Mm." Helian Xi responded.
Then, another voice appeared in her heart.
People really are shaless.
She was no exception.
Just as she was about to walk to the school gate, she saw Gu Jin Yan approaching with a cold expression. For so reason, whenever he spotted her, she felt guilty like a thief.
Just as she was about to say sothing, she heard him say sarcastically, "Not bad! You finally got what you wanted. Just don’t get so nervous that you sprain your ankle again."
"Gu Jin Yan, what do you an? What’s ’got what I wanted’? I’m just having dinner with him. Besides, what does it have to do with you?" Helian Xi replied angrily, feeling why she should explain to him.
"Helian Xi, if I keep ddling in your business, I can change my surna from Gu. Go find your old fla! Damn it!!" Gu Jin Yan was even more furious, and yes, it had nothing to do with him.
If he didn’t like her, he wouldn’t bother to care.
"What old fla, watch your mouth." Hearing his words, Helian Xi imdiately got fired up.
