195: 195 Guilt 195: 195 Guilt “Do you promise?”
Shi Qianxi didn’t imdiately let go.
“I promise.”
Jiang Chen’s voice was low.
If his guess was correct, then running away now wouldn’t solve any problems at all.
You can run from the monk, but not from the temple.
If the other party found him at school, it would only beco more troubleso.
Those who suffer from Stockholm Syndro develop a pathological attachnt to their aggressor and are not likely to let things rest easily.
Having secured his promise, Shi Qianxi finally slowly released her grip, then tried to pull him to sit down.
“I can walk by myself.”
Jiang Chen, feeling like he had already been too apologetic to that Mr.
Sun tonight, tried not to have any physical contact and walked back to the sofa on his own.
“Would you like so water?”
Shi Qianxi truly seed like a changed person, or more accurately, as if soone had possessed her, eagerly brought back a bottle of Evian mineral water as if she was attending to an honored guest.
Jiang Chen didn’t refuse, took the water, but didn’t open it, holding the bottle which cost several hundred dollars tightly, feeling heavily burdened.
“Miss Shi, if you’re truly frightened, I think you can call Mr.
Sun over.”
From yesterday’s event, it seed that this wealthy heiress had a liking for Sun Xiyu.
“I don’t want him.”
But who would have known, Shi Qianxi imdiately shook her head, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if that na belonged to a stranger.
“You promised, you’d stay with .”
Jiang Chen felt an increasing weight in his heart.
“Are you hungry?
Would you like to order so late-night snacks?
The chefs here are quite skilled…”
At a Hilton hotel like this, the kitchen staff was on standby twenty-four hours a day.
Jiang Chen shook his head.
At a ti like this, even if a full Manchu Han Imperial Feast was prepared, he probably wouldn’t be able to eat a bite.
“Miss Shi, let’s have a chat.”
“Sure!”
Shi Qianxi’s eyebrows danced with delight, showing no signs of soone who had just been kidnapped and beaten.
Was it possible she felt discomfort?
She took off her high heels, the ten soft and pale toes painted with red nail polish, tantalizingly beautiful.
“Shu Rui and Mr.
Sun can no longer be together, Miss Shi, no one can threaten you now, your happiness is within arm’s reach.”
Jiang Chen sincerely said, “Mr.
Sun is a man worth entrusting your life to.”
“I know, Xi Yu is different from those playboys.
Otherwise, I would not have agreed to get engaged to him.”
Shi Qianxi nodded, then curiously asked, “And then?”
And then?
What an ‘and then’…
Shouldn’t you then adhere to your marital virtues and live happily ever after with your betrothed?
“Rare is the priceless treasure, rarer is the lover true, Miss Shi, you must cherish a man as outstanding as Mr.
Sun.”
He was not a psychology expert, nor was he a doctor.
Faced with such a situation for the first ti, how could he know what to do?
So Jiang Chen could only try to awaken her inner feelings for Sun Xiyu, hoping it would allow him to extract himself from this predicant.
“But, Xi Yu doesn’t seem to like .
We agreed to have the engagent ceremony at the end of this year, but he insists on postponing it until next year…”
“How could he possibly not like you!”
Jiang Chen blurted out.
Shi Qianxi looked at him strangely, likely surprised by his sudden outburst.
“Actually, n also like to be contradictory.
If he truly didn’t like you, why would he tolerate your nonsense in the ever-flowing crowd yesterday?
n value their pride.
You made him lose face in front of so many friends.
An ordinary man would have lashed out already, but he only scolded you a few tis.
It’s enough to show that he actually loves you.
He’s just not good at expressing it.”
It’s better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one marriage.
This was doing a good deed.
Jiang Chen silently consoled himself.
Shi Qianxi stared blankly at him for a while, then shook her head.
“He doesn’t want to hit , not because he doesn’t want to, but because he doesn’t dare.”
Although her behavior was abnormal, Shi Qianxi’s mind was indeed not damaged.
“If he hit , his family, and my family, would never let him off the hook.”
“No one has ever hit , except for you.”
How did it co back to him again?
Seeing the woman staring directly at him, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a bit uneasy and could not look straight into those eyes, so he twisted open the bottle of mineral water and took a sip.
Could it be.
That it was those two slaps that caused all the trouble?
Indeed.
It’s in a woman’s nature to enjoy being conquered.
In the past, everyone catered to Shi Family’s daughter, Yi Qu, not daring to offend her.
Hence, deep down, she actually looked down on n.
Even toward her fiancé, in na only, it was the sa.
Yet this evening, he played out of the ordinary, shattering her arrogance with two slaps, letting her grasp what it ant to be with a man.
n like gentle won, and won like domineering n.
Previously, because of her status, the n around her were all too compliant, preventing Shi Qianxi from experiencing true domineering spirit.
But his actions tonight…
Seed to exude an unbounded domineering aura.
At this thought, Jiang Chen imdiately felt trendous regret.
Had he known, he would have gagged her mouth; if it had been just about taking a few photos, none of this would have happened.
Impulsiveness is the devil.
If he had been able to hold back then, not being so impulsive, things might not have ended up like this.
But ti cannot be reversed, and it’s too late for regrets.
“If you like, ahem, enjoy that kind of feeling, you can communicate with Sun Xi Yu.
I think he would be very happy to…”
“You an, let him hit ?”
Shi Qianxi’s mouth curled into a sly smile.
“He wouldn’t dare, even if you gave him ten tis the courage.”
Perhaps that long-suffering young master would never know that conquering his fiancée was actually simple—just slap her a few tis for no reason.
Jiang Chen thought of a popular internet term.
Masochist.
To put it bluntly, she was a masochist.
This Shi Family’s daughter, who all the dashing young n of East Sea wanted to avoid, was obviously one of them.
It’s not hard to understand, really.
The more noble a person’s status, the more they crave being trampled upon.
Because human nature craves novelty.
The sequence of events this evening was sothing Shi Qianxi had never experienced before.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell him anything.”
Instead, she began to comfort Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen, of course, understood that she certainly wouldn’t reveal anything about tonight to anyone else; after all, the photos were still in his hands.
Besides, what he said just now was sheer nonsense; judging by Sun Xiyu’s attitude toward his fiancée, even if he knew the truth, he probably wouldn’t care; he might even applaud it.
Of course.
One should exclude actions like tearing stockings, stripping clothes, and removing stockings.
Emotions aside, status still mattered, and probably no man would appreciate a cuckolded reputation.
“Miss Shi, you and Sun Shao are a match made in heaven, suitable in both stature and appearance.
No one is more perfect for each other than you two; there is nothing, no affair or object, that should or could destroy the affection between you.”
If their parents knew, they would definitely thank him.
Shi Qianxi, who just yesterday cared so much about Sun Xiyu, didn’t seem happy to hear this but rather frowned, finally regaining a hint of her past deanor.
“Do you want to take a shower?
I’ll go run the bath for you.”
She directly sidestepped the topic, clearly unwilling to listen any further.
For so reason, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.
That young master Sun probably would never enjoy such a treatnt.
