Chapter 831: Chapter 830: I Am the Girl You Saved
Ning Yichen’s pupils contracted sharply, “Is it you?”
“Yes, it’s me.” Su Lianxi giggled, “You really didn’t know… So, do you hate me even more now?”
Ning Yichen gritted his teeth, as if it took him immense strength to suppress the surging emotions within him.
The accident nearly changed the course of his life.
He had speculated about the girl he saved back then, but he never expected it to be Su Lianxi.
Indeed… a doomed relationship.
Although this matter had passed for a long time, and he thought he wouldn’t care since he had already let go of his obsession with Zhixi, but… suddenly hearing this news still stirred up waves in his heart.
“So we are even now.” Su Lianxi smiled nonchalantly, “Today’s incident… if you must feel indebted to me, then consider it my repayment for your life-saving grace back then. Although it seems unfair, I’ve never been a rational woman, you know that.”
“Su Lianxi…” Ning Yichen closed his eyes; his gaze had turned cold, “I saved you back then, yet you still left me bleeding.”
“Yes.” Su Lianxi smiled, “I am indeed such a cold-blooded and selfish woman. I thought you died and feared taking responsibility, so I hurriedly ran away. I never thought the one who saved you was my adoptive sister.”
“Did you always know it was me who saved you?” Ning Yichen asked coldly.
Su Lianxi shook her head, recalling, “No, it seems like you asked me for that coat once. I went to ask Su Zixi for it and only then realized how familiar it looked.”
Ning Yichen remembered that incident too.
His Adam’s apple moved slightly, finally calming down gradually, “We’re even now.”
Su Lianxi’s eyes smiled in crescents, “Alright, thank you.”
Ning Yichen said nothing more, and quickly left the room with Lu Qixi in his arms.
Su Lianxi watched his back, still smiling nonchalantly. It was only after a while that she moved forward to close the door, leaning tiredly against it.
…
Ning Yichen walked quickly, Lu Qixi stumbled a bit as he pulled her along.
But she knew he was in a bad mood at the moment, so she didn’t speak, just tried hard to keep up with his pace.
Ning Yichen accidentally saw her pale face, and finally stopped.
“Are you alright?” he asked hoarsely.
Lu Qixi shook her head, “I’m fine… and you?”
“I’m fine.” Ning Yichen said as he took out his phone to make a call. After finishing the call, he looked at the woman beside him, “I cancelled tonight’s show for you. Let’s go back first.”
Lu Qixi did not oppose, obediently nodding her head. Since the party organizer had been bribed by Fu Haitao, she certainly couldn’t stay.
“Ning Yichen, I’m sorry, I seem to have implicated you again.” she said softly.
“No need to apologize.” He pulled her into his arms, his voice carrying a warm, soft tone, “I should have protected you well. It’s my fault you were scared.”
Lu Qixi listened, her heart suddenly feeling tender.
“Then… what about Su Lianxi?” Lu Qixi finally asked, “Will you help her?”
Although she wasn’t fully aware of what happened between them, after all, they were once married. With his character, it’s unlikely he would completely ignore Su Lianxi.
