BXBX NOVEL Chapter 189 - Huh?
Chapter 189: Huh?
“Why?”
“Because only by doing so, will I not appear pitiful. At least, in the eyes of everyone, I’m not the one being abandoned…”
Bo Jinchuan’s hand paused suddenly as he stared into her eyes deeply. He was waiting silently for her to continue.
Shen Fanxing gazed into Bo Jinchuan’s eyes and replied slowly,
“You’re destined to stand at the highest summit. You were born to be the center of attention no matter where you are. Your life is nearly perfect, and I can do little for you. The only thing I can do now is not to become a flaw in your life…”
Bo Jinchuan’s eyes widened suddenly and his chest shuddered. The sound of his heartbeat was deafening, followed by sharp pangs of pain.
His grip around her head loosened and tightened, while his other hand clenched into a fist.
It turned out that the reason why she agreed to Jiang Rongrong’s request and chose to suffer so much bullying and humiliation tonight… all of her tolerance and even her last counterattack was for him…
He had observed her earlier just now outside the hall. He assumed that he could read her mind and he decided to help her silently.
He reckoned that by appearing at the time when she needed him the most would have the most impact.
Earlier on, he was still unhappy with her foolish decision to offer herself to be bullied…
In hindsight, he was the foolish one.
“Why would I think that of you? I don’t care about those…”
“I care!” shouted Shen Fanxing suddenly, “Bo Jinchuan, I care! I don’t want to be a burden to you. I will work hard to be the best version of myself and become a woman who is compatible with you. So please continue walking forward and don’t worry about me…”
Something in Bo Jinchuan’s eyes shattered abruptly.
“Impossible!”
His voice cracked like thunder.
The next second, she felt a sudden pain on her lips. Bo Jinchuan had kissed her forcibly.
His overbearing kiss was full of shock, fury and deep heartache. And his lips rubbed against hers fiercely, causing immense pain.
“I won’t leave you alone. Remember, I won’t…”
Shen Fanxing felt a strong ache in her throat and her eyes welled up, blurring her vision…
“I… trust you.”
She forced out these three words.
His promise was as heavy as a wall of bricks…
Bo Jinchuan grinned and planted a final kiss on her lips.
“I’ll send you home.”
“Okay.”
…
At Palace of Luxury…
Bo Jinchuan sent Shen Fanxing home and stood at her doorstep. He gazed at the smiling Shen Fanxing with raised eyebrows.
“Are you… shutting the door on me?”
Shen Fanxing grinned as she took out her phone and waved it in front of Bo Jinchuan.
“It’s getting late.”
“I’m not in a hurry.”
“It’s already past 9:00 p.m. It will take you another hour to reach Grand View Manor.”
Bo Jinchuan became silent for a few seconds before blurting,
“I’m hungry.”
She was speechless…
Noticing Shen Fanxing’s doubtful gaze, Bo Jinchuan added, “I went directly to you the moment I got off the plane.”
Shen Fanxing frowned before moving aside.
“Come in.”
Bo Jinchuan grinned and marched inside.
…
Bo Jinchuan was indeed hungry as he devoured two bowls of noodles.
He hadn’t intended to linger after the meal.
Shen Fanxing noticed the fatigue on his face, especially after taking a flight for more than ten hours.
He tugged her to him and gave her a kiss.
“I’m leaving. Rest early.”
“Okay, I’ll send you.”
Bo Jinchuan frowned and replied, “It’s okay.”
He relinquished his grip, picked up his jacket and turned to leave.
Shen Fanxing was slightly doubtful, as she had the feeling that something was amiss. But she did read too much into it.
Turning around, she noticed a pair of shiny silver cufflinks on the coffee table. Thinking that he had not gone far, she chased after him.
When she went out, she happened to see Bo Jinchuan stepping into the lift. She picked up speed but the lift’s doors closed.
She pressed the button hurriedly, but it was too late.
She hesitated and decided to return it to him the next time they met.
Just as she was about to leave, her gaze landed on the control panel outside the lift. She stopped in her tracks…
Huh?
