Chapter 308: Determined

trace... There were some things I had already guessed at.Three years... how many nights had she spent locked to the side of the toilet, unable to sleep How many nights were filled with pain that made...The first ray of sunlight in the morning streamed into the bedroom, dappled light spots, falling on a bed, falling on the white sheets, and a few strands fell on the woman's face.

The exhaustion of catching a flight, the tossing and turning in the first half of the night, insomnia in the second half, until very late, very late, did she finally fall asleep. She didn't want to wake up. Rarely, she overslept today.

In a hazy, confused state, her face itched, a faint, persistent tickle. In her fogged mind, she reached out blindly, the itching sensation vanished, and she was about to drift back to sleep. Just as she felt herself relaxing, the irritating itch returned.

Bearing the fatigue, I opened my eyes—

Therefore—

Big eyes met.

That face so close, I know it well, I know it so well...

Blink, blink...

And her long, narrow eyes met his gaze —

Blink, then blink again.

Boom—

My head was filled with blood, it felt like it was going to explode!

She suddenly pushed him with a force beyond her natural instincts, "What are you doing!" she rudely slapped him across the face.

Thus, the tranquil atmosphere of dawn was shattered by that crisp and loud slap.

Her eyes blazed with fury. Before she could find the culprit who had caused all this trouble and make them pay, that scoundrel dared to look at her with a face full of accusation.

"Tongtong" The man covered his cheek, which had been slapped, and stared at her in bewilderment. "Why did you hit Axiu"

Why did she hit him

Jian Tong almost laughed in anger when she heard this, her anger making her breath come out in short gasps: "You're asking me What were you just doing!"

"Darling."

Honey He still looks wronged

"Shen Xiujin, I tell you, you're a hooligan! I didn't let you... kiss me!"

"But..."

"Are you still here Still... What"

"I like Tongtong. The TV said, if you like someone, you should kiss her."

Jian Tong never expected to get this answer.

She was furious!

She glared at the man in front of her, who looked like he was saying "I'm right" with his expression. She tightened her face and suddenly climbed out of bed, too lazy to look at the person behind her, she ignored him and walked towards the door.

"Tongtong, why are you so angry Ashu likes you."

Creak!

She was already on the verge of her breaking point, wanting to avoid him and just pretend he didn't exist. But this fool had to keep coming near her, poking at all her sore spots.

Her temples throbbed, she tightened her grip on the doorknob until her palm ached... Don't get angry, Jian Tong, don't get angry. What's there to be upset about with an idiot He doesn't know anything!

Even she, who rarely swore, was now cursing under her breath.

She took several deep breaths, forcing down the inferno that raged within. Her face seemed to calm, and with a steady hand, she pulled open the door and stepped out.

"Tong Tong, did you secretly eat candy with Ah Xiu Your mouth is both fragrant and sweet." She finished by smacking her lips.

Creak!

Ten finger bones being twisted together make a clicking sound.

The calmness in her eyes was gone, replaced by a raging fire!

She swore!

I'm going to throw this idiot out today!

Without a word, he turned around and went back to his bed, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and pressed the call button without caring what time it was or if the other person was already awake.

As soon as the call was answered, the other party simply said, "Do you know what time it is now" before being bombarded with a barrage of accusations from her.

"Xichen, I'm telling you, if you don't come and take this little rascal right now, just wait until tonight when he's sleeping in the park as a stray!"

The gruff voice, couldn't suppress the raging anger either.

Over there, originally because his peaceful dream was interrupted, he woke up in a bad mood. Now, being intimidated by her wildfire-like anger, the whole person suddenly sobered up half of it. He jerked: "Let's talk things out properly. Don't be angry, don't be angry." A qualified businessman must know how to read the situation. Xi Chen decisively chose to appease. His attitude immediately softened, and he asked in a gentle voice:

"He... Asuka did something unforgivable... didn't he"

Xichen carefully asked, rarely seeing Jian Tong so angry. He even called that person a "jerk," which showed that this "jerk" must have done something really terrible to make that woman yell at him.

"Ahem... how did that 'bastard' offend you" After a long silence on the phone, Xi Chen could only awkwardly ask again.

He didn't ask before, but once he did, Jian Tong froze completely. Her delicate face flushed red and white, like a palette of colors, her lips sealed shut.

"Forget it! Just get over here right now and take him away! I don't want to see him again!"

Jian Tong finished speaking quickly, but a voice came from behind him:

"Tongtong, you don't like Axiu kissing you. Axiu will change in the future. You don't drive Axiu away, okay"

Click!

Her hand trembled, and she could almost hear the sound of the high pressure in her skull threatening to shatter.

On the phone, there was an eerie silence. Jian Tong didn't need to think, she could almost picture Xichen's expression on his face over the phone.

"Be quiet!" she snapped, her face dark as she glared at the man beside her who was looking at her with a mix of nervousness and charm.

"Well, I see. That's not right at all, it's pretty 'jerk-like'." Xi Chen rubbed his nose, wanting to laugh out loud, but he didn't dare to provoke Jian Tong who was now burning with anger. He could only desperately hold back, almost hurting himself internally:

But Jian Tong, I really can't bring people to me. That old geezer from the Shen family is incorrigible; he keeps meddling in internal affairs of the group again.

This old fox is high ranked, Ah Xiu… that 'bastard' isn't here, I can't control that old fox.

The past two days dealing with this old fox, I'm about to go crazy.

If I keep that "bastard" around me, I'm afraid it won't be long before someone finds out.

He's a bit of a mixed bag, but Jian Tong, do you really need to quibble with a child"

"I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Xi Chen interrupted her on the phone: "Don't children express their kindness this way Honestly, children are the most pure. They think very simply. Ashu just likes it when you show him kindness. How could you misunderstand"

Jian Tong was scolded so badly that her face turned red and pale in turns, a truly embarrassing sight.

"Adults should not look at children's world through colored glasses."

Jian Tong's face became even more colorful, her hand holding the phone trembling slightly with anger. She sneered: "Is that my fault Am I filthy Am I mentally unhealthy"

Xi Chen, you know that very well!

"Am I just an adult and a child to him" she said, her face ashen.

"Have you forgotten everything, are all things just passing clouds"

She never expected that this early morning would be so "stimulating", "But Xi Chen, I remember!"

He doesn't remember, but she does!

Remember everything!

Remember it clearly!

"As for what Old Master Shen and what danger, you guys figure it out yourselves!" But to have her, to stay with this person day after day, she was afraid that she would eventually do the wrong thing!

She was afraid she would eventually... soften her heart!

My heart... skipped a beat!

She was also afraid that she would never want him to recover his memory!

"I'm going to work now. If he's still here before I get off, I'll send him to Mr. Shen's place. As for whether or not you pick him up, that's up to you." She coldly tossed out a sentence, ignoring any persuasion and cutting off the call.hated him... Since everything was irreversible, since she wanted to hate him for a lifetime... then hate it!Hate, hate, hate!To hate for all eternity would be the best thing, wouldn't it That would be...
