Chapter 29

"Pfft~" Xiao Jingyi's face turned ashen, and she directly spurted a mouthful of blood!

Huo Chengxi felt his whole body relax as his expression revealed clarity. He glanced at the person who had already fallen to the ground, took out his phone and dialed 120, "Hello, hi, someone vomited blood by the lake beside B University."

Walking to Xiao Jingyi's side, Jian Xi looked down at her, the coldness in her eyes clearly visible, "Miss Xiao, it's fine to like someone, but using these indecent tricks when you clearly know the other person doesn't like you, that's very annoying. Besides, did the Master Luo who did the ritual for you tell you that this ritual would burn your life force?"

Burn her life force? Master Luo didn't mention that. He only said there would be minor backlash if it was broken by someone!

Then, could her best friend be...

Seemingly seeing through her thoughts, Jian Xi sighed, "You have already crossed the river as the merciful goddess, yet you still care about others?" After looking at Xiao Jingyi for a moment, this person was still decent, just too competitive, temporarily blinded for a moment. But regretting now was useless anyway!

Huo Chengxi remained silent throughout, although he would never go easy on those who plotted against him, after all she was a girl, and he saw Jian Xi handling it with restraint, so that proved this Xiao Jingyi was not an extremely treacherous villain, perhaps just a momentary lapse of judgement.

Therefore, that emergency call could be considered giving the Xiao family face!

Xiao Jingyi couldn't speak now, nor did she answer Jian Xi's rhetorical question. Her eyes looked towards the expressionless Huo Chengxi beside Jian Xi. In the instant their eyes met, she suddenly understood that, in fact, she should have stopped liking him many years ago. It was just her competitive mindset and jealousy acting up.

But regretting now was useless anyway. She closed her eyes, although her body was piercingly painful at this moment, her consciousness was extremely clear. She murmured, "Huo Chengxi, I'm sorry!"

Jian Xi's lips curled up slightly. This lesson was not learned in vain, she had understood!

By the time the ambulance arrived, Xiao Jingyi had already fainted. She was carried onto the ambulance, and her supervisor went along to the hospital with her.

She didn't have any major issues, the backlash wasn't too severe either, after all the ritual done just last night hadn't consumed too much of her life force yet. Also, this was the first time she had seen Huo Chengxi today, and Huo Chengxi wasn't too infatuated with her either, so it was just a matter of suffering for a few days. Even if one has a sudden awakening, punishment must still be received for doing bad deeds!

The two of them stood by the lake, watching as the ambulance left. Huo Chengxi asked, "Any more?"

"No more, just this one for this month!" Jian Xi shrugged.

He held out his hand in front of Jian Xi, "Give me two peace talismans."

"One thousand each!"

"......"

Jian Xi was joking, of course. She took out two folded peace talismans from her bag and gave them to him, "Treat me to a meal, I want to eat at your B University's cafeteria!"

"Let's go, order whatever you want to eat!" Huo Chengxi tucked the peace talismans into his pocket, then put his arm around Jian Xi's neck and led her towards the direction of the cafeteria.

Jian Xi wanted to struggle, but she was no match for Huo Chengxi's martial arts skills, because he specifically practiced martial arts. Apart from him, there was still one senior sister she couldn't beat, and that was Fifth Senior Sister Su Yinghe!

With Sixth Senior Brother's peach blossoms severed, Jian Xi enjoyed the culinary delights of B University's cafeteria before heading back.

In the afternoon, He Qingrou called Jian Xi, wanting to ask her out shopping, and she readily agreed since she was bored and didn't know what to do anyway!

Jian Xi sent He Qingchen a message, telling him that she and his sister were going shopping. She would go find him at his company after they were done and head home together with him.

He Qingchen, who had been in meetings all morning, had a terribly black face. Beside him, Xu Yan was even breathing extremely lightly!

However, after the boss glanced at the ringing phone and replied to the message, the oppressive atmosphere in the meeting room lightened for a fleeting moment. But the moment he put down his phone, the suffocating feeling swept over the room again!

Xu Yan, "......" Happily took advantage of that moment.

*

Mingchen Mall, the biggest shopping mall in B City.

Jian Xi had been here once before, that time He Qingchen brought her here a few days ago.

However, she wasn't in the mood to go shopping then. Her mind was full of thoughts about the trials and tribulations her brother had endured these past few years, and worries over her grandfather's condition.

It was different this time. With nothing weighing on her mind, He Qingrou and her started their raid!

Although it was only He Qingrou doing the buying, Jian Xi was just there to offer opinions, but that didn't stop her from feeling excited!

When He Qingchen received Jian Xi's message, he had also sent He Qingrou a message to inform her about Jian Xi's special circumstances, so she couldn't buy things for her. Because of that, He Qingrou felt dejected for quite a while.

Her original intention today was to get Jian Xi some new stuff, but unexpectedly it ended up with her shopping for herself!

After browsing the first floor, the two of them came to the second floor.

The second floor was filled with fragrance brands, one of which was He Qingrou's usual brand. Coincidentally, on the way here, the store had called her to say this year's new fragrance had arrived and asked if she wanted it delivered to the mansion for her to try out or if she would drop by the store to try it.

He Qingrou said she would come by the store later, so after finishing the first floor, the two headed straight there.

Although the matter with He Paihuai was resolved, the He family was the number one aristocratic clan after all, and naturally had many rivals lurking in the shadows too. Therefore, He Qingrou would still have five to six bodyguards following her whenever she went out.

After the two of them entered the store, the bodyguards all stood outside the door.

The store manager was a woman in her thirties, very well maintained. She took out a bottle of perfume from a separate crystal display counter, "Miss He, this is our new fragrance for spring, also a limited edition called 'Love'. The top notes are fruity - grape, lemon, pomelo; the middle notes are osmanthus, sweet pea, green leaves; and the base notes are woody.

After the introduction, the store manager handed He Qingrou a fragrance blotter to let her try it out, and also gave one to Jian Xi.

He Qingrou held the strip near her nose and waved it twice before sniffing it. "Little Seven, does it smell nice?"

Jian Xi's sense of smell was rather sensitive. The moment she entered the shop she had been strongly resisting the urge to sneeze from the overpowering scents. It did smell nice, but altogether it was somewhat choking!

However, just this particular fragrance on its own did have a very pleasant aroma, so she nodded.

He Qingrou also quite liked it and indicated to the store manager that she would take this bottle of perfume.

The store manager's smile grew even wider as she hurriedly asked someone to pack it up.

Suddenly, a strong perfume smell wafted over. Jian Xi really couldn't stand it anymore, she turned her head sideways and covered her mouth as she let out a sneeze!

Suddenly, a shriek rang out not far away, "Ah! What are you doing? How disgusting! My clothes!"
