Chapter 169 - Chapter 169: Let’s End It (2/2)
Cheng Lang said, “If you don’t want to be hospitalized, go to Manor No. 1. I’ll get Jian Yaochuan to pick you up.”
Xing Shu lowered her eyes. “I want to go back to the apartment.” Her face was very pale. She looked fragile and beautiful, as if she could shatter with a touch. Cheng Lang pressed his chest and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He bent down and looked at Xing Shu. “Xing Shu, why are you being awkward?” He was invincible in the corporate world. But at this moment, he could not fathom Xing Shu l s thoughts.
Xing Shu felt weary. She leaned against the head of the bed—closed her eyes— and asked, “President Cheng, isn’t it time we end things?”
Cheng Lang stood by the bed. When he heard this, he felt as if there was a thorn in his heart. The thorn was still drilling in, and it was so painful that he frowned. Immediately, he was furious. He had imagined many things that Xing Shu might say… Such as whether he could stay with her… Or ask him not to go and discuss the marriage with the Jin family. As long as she asked him, he would definitely agree. However, he never expected Xing Shu to say that she wanted to end the relationship.
Cheng Lang could only sigh. As expected of Xing Shu, she was always so clear-headed. He was the one who was not clear-headed now. But looking at Xing Shu t s fragile appearance, Cheng Lang could not bear to flare up at her. He could only pretend not to care and ask, “Do you want to end it?”
Xing Shu nodded vehemently.
A cold glint flashed across Cheng Lang’s eyes. He said, “We’ll see.” Then, he left without hesitation. It was not until he was far away from the ward that Cheng Lang could not hold back his anger and kicked the trash can beside him! He felt very depressed. He had never felt so depressed before. Was it because everything was about to change?
In the Cheng family residence, Old Master Cheng and Old Master Jin were discussing Cheng Lang and Jin Yue. Old Master Cheng smiled and said, “I only acknowledge Jin Yue as my daughter-in-law. Cheng Lang has been busy with work all these years and hasn’t been enlightened in terms of relationships. It’s been hard on Jin Yue.”
Old Master Jin answered with a smile, “What’s there to feel aggrieved about? Jin Yue has been growing up all these years, and the two of them are getting better and better. They rarely make us worry.”
Old Master Cheng nodded. That was the truth. He glanced at the clock beside him and asked the servant, “Go outside and take a look.. Is Cheng Lang’s car back?”
