Chapter 186 Never Forget
Chapter 186 Never Forget
Everyone was quietly waiting for Xiao Chuyi's answer. The atmosphere was so tense that one could hear the sound of heartbeats.
Everything around seemed to become distant and blurred, people's discussions became inaudible, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.
Only Xiao Chuyi's face was particularly clear under the white light, with every eyelash and every outline being particularly distinct.
Time passed slowly, but Xiao Chuyi remained silent and showed no intention of responding.
This tranquility, however, breeds uneasiness in people's hearts.
Those who had just been praising him began to feel somewhat dissatisfied. They looked at each other with puzzled expressions. Someone couldn't help but whisper, "What's going on, Master?"
Another voice immediately chimed in, "Looking at him like this, he might still be obsessed with that past incident."
There was a hint of confusion and worry in his words.
Seeing this situation, the old man coughed lightly, breaking the silence for a moment, "Ayi, hurry up and say something."
There was a hint of anxiety and concern in his tone, and he obviously hoped to end this difficult deadlock as soon as possible.
It was a long time before Xiao Chuyi seemed to come back to his senses, but he avoided Su Yanqing's gaze and turned to look out the window.
The scenery outside the window passed by his eyes, but his mind was not really focused on it.
He thought to himself: Yanqing, I must make the Chen family believe in my loyalty to them, so that I can help you realize your wish.
I hope you can understand the helplessness of all this.
After thinking it over, he faced everyone again and slowly said, "Yes, what happened back then was just a misunderstanding."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused an uproar among everyone present.
Amidst the noise, there was only one figure standing quietly, staring at Xiao Chuyi.
Su Yanqing's eyes seemed to be frozen, fixed on him, and the noise around her seemed to have nothing to do with her.
Su Yanqing felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
At this moment, she felt an unprecedented loneliness and helplessness, as if she was the only one left in the world, standing there alone.
After a long silence, Su Yanqing finally turned around, pushed away the crowd behind her, and left.
The discussions in the crowd became increasingly distant in her ears, as if nothing mattered anymore.
With every step I took, there seemed to be a buzzing sound in my ears.
Just a misunderstanding.
Just a misunderstanding.
It turns out that in his eyes, everything he cared about was just a misunderstanding!
These words were like a sharp blade, piercing deep into her heart.
Su Yanqing felt like her head was about to explode. She staggered to the door and suddenly her eyes felt dizzy.
Finally, her legs gave way and she was about to fall forward...
A long arm quickly wrapped around Su Yanqing's slender waist and lifted her up steadily.
Chen Jin hugged Su Yanqing, turned his head to look at her, raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of provocation in his eyes.
There was a glint of disdain in his eyes, as if he was mocking those indifferent people.
His eyes swept across the crowd coldly and looked directly at Xiao Chuyi.
Xiao Chuyi's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously took a few steps forward.
He felt an inexplicable tension and uneasiness, as if something was approaching.
A white hand held Xiao Chuyi's arm.
The hand was slender and cold, giving people an indescribable feeling of oppression.
Su Xiyao also saw this scene at the door.
She still maintained that official smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a hint of complicated emotions.
She leaned over to Xiao Chuyi's ear and whispered, "Ayi, today is our engagement day. Don't let anyone disrupt our rhythm."
Although her voice was calm, every word seemed to strike at Xiao Chuyi's heartstrings.
Xiao Chuyi felt irritated.
This irritability was not only due to the aversion to Su Xiyao's words, but also due to his own inner struggle and helplessness.
He raised his arm calmly, trying to push Su Xiyao away.
But the other party held on tighter, and that firm attitude made him feel powerless.
Su Xiyao's voice was filled with a determination that would not be refused: "Ayi! Madam Chen will be here soon."
These words made Xiao Chuyi's stiff back gradually relax.
He knew that now was not the time to argue and everything had to go according to plan.
He slowly lowered his head, forced a smile on his lips, and returned to the crowd to talk with others.
But hidden behind this smile is deep fatigue and helplessness.
The warm wind gently blew across her body, waking Su Yanqing up as gently as a spring breeze. She slowly opened her sleepy eyes.
The warm atmosphere around her made her feel dazed and she didn't know where she was for a moment.
The mask had been removed, revealing her delicate face, and she was covered with a men's suit, which brought her considerable warmth.
The melody of light music is still echoing in my ears, so melodious and pleasant that it makes people relax unconsciously.
Su Yanqing rolled her eyes slightly, trying to focus on the scene before her.
Her eyes slowly scanned the surroundings, hoping to find some familiar objects or people to help her recall the cause and effect.
The entire carriage is quiet and comfortable, giving people a sense of security.
At this moment, a familiar yet unusually calm voice came from the front: "Are you awake?"
Chen Jin sat in the passenger seat with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was also enjoying this moment of tranquility.
With his hands crossed in front of his chest, the index finger of his right hand gently taps his left arm, with a rhythm that is neither fast nor slow, showing his inner peace and composure.
He was obviously relieved that Su Yanqing regained consciousness in time, but he was not in a hurry to get an immediate response, giving the other party enough space to adapt to the current situation.
Seeing her silence, Chen Jin turned his head and looked at the woman in the back seat, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
His tone was full of concern.
Su Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then shook her head slightly in response.
At this moment, she, filled with questions, finally found the opportunity to speak. With a slightly bewildered tone, she asked about her situation: "Shouldn't you be attending the engagement party? Why are you here with me?"
Chen Jin gave an unexpected yet reasonable answer to this question. He smiled calmly and said, "Compared to the engagement party, which has no real meaning to me, I'm more concerned about your current situation."
Su Yanqing was stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected him to give such an explanation. For a moment, she could not find the right words to respond to such a direct and honest expression of emotion.
Sensing a hint of surprise on the girl opposite him, Chen Jin immediately stretched out his left hand and gently patted the back of her hand placed next to her seat to show his comfort.
