Capítulo 1259: Chapter 1258: The Ring on His Ring Finger
He closed his eyes, hiding the pain in them.
The damage was done, and there was nothing he could salvage.
The guilt could only be buried deep in his heart, and then, grasp the future, slowly making ands.
Since he had found her, he would never let her go again!
Adjusting his emotions, Zhai En walked out.
He saw Xia Shi still sitting on the edge of the sofa, wearing a mask, her hair cascading down.
The milk on the table was untouched.
He reached out and touched the cup; it had already turned cold.
So he picked up the milk to exchange it for a hot one.
Xia Shi’s gaze fell on his hand holding the milk.
Her body suddenly stiffened, her face instantly turning pale.
On his ring finger, he wore a ring.
The one they had picked together five years ago.
Hers had been thrown away, yet he still kept his.
In an instant, Xia Shi’s heart was in chaos again, her mind a tangled ss, as if it would explode!
Zhai En brought the hot milk over, placing it in front of her, and naturally sat beside her.
The masculine scent wafted into her nose, along with the sll of his post-bath aroma, causing her muscles to tense up.
A tense expression on her face.
“Shi Shi, it’s been a long ti, have you been well recently?”
Zhai En leaned a bit closer to her, greedily breathing in the air around her.
So nostalgic, so reassuring.
“Why give the role to Qiao Yuchu when it was already agreed it would go to Xia Weibao, and all matters had been settled? How could Director Zhai change his mind at the last minute?”
Xia Shi didn’t answer his question but got straight to the point, explaining the reason for her visit today.
She ca here solely for business.
Not wanting to be entangled with him any further.
Zhai En’s eyes flashed with a hint of disappointnt, “Shi Shi, do you really have to be so distant with ?”
“Director Zhai, didn’t you invite here for business talks?”
At this mont, Xia Shi had an expression that if they weren’t discussing business, she would leave imdiately.
Zhai En gazed at her for two seconds, then leaned back, sinking into the sofa, with a lazy and relaxed deanor, as if he were an excellent hunter.
The trap had already been set, and the prey was already his to capture.
“Have you seen anyone conduct business by booking a hotel room?”
Xia Shi’s face changed, but then returned to normal.
She suddenly stood up, “Since Director Zhai doesn’t want to talk business, then I’ll be going.”
Seeing her about to leave, Zhai En wasn’t anxious; she couldn’t escape from his grasp.
It was the sa five years ago, and it was the sa now!
“If I don’t give the role to Qiao Yuchu, do you plan to never see again?”
The contract was only discussed with his assistant; if he ca forward, she would send soone else over.
Clearly, it was a direct collaboration between the two, yet she repeatedly avoided him.
If he didn’t resort to so drastic asures, would she co to him on her own?
No matter how much he did, all he wanted was her.
Even using “Intrigue Within” as bait was solely for her.
Xia Shi’s steps halted, not looking back, “The grievances between us, please don’t involve others.”
Zhai En’s eyes flickered lightly, “You are so good to that girl.”
So good that he felt jealous!
“Shi Shi, the role of Mu Shi was tailor-made for you. You once said that no one but you could play it, yet now you agree to let another woman play it.”
Xia Shi’s body trembled slightly, nearly unable to withstand an emotional breakdown.
He once really treated her well, so much so that for her acting dreams, he even wrote a script as a birthday gift for her.
