Chapter 193: Let’s Elope

After a pause, Shen Hanxing continued, “Moreover, the engagement was just a verbal agreement between our parents. That was not an engagement. To me, you were just my childhood friend. In the end, when we lost contact, you weren’t even my friend anymore. I am not your wife. Others might misunderstand if they heard this.”

“No, it’s not like that,” Lu Shaoyang looked at Shen Hanxing pleadingly and longingly. “Hanxing, you still love me, don’t you? Come with me!”

Shen Hanxing was stunned. “What did you say?” She thought she heard things.

“I said, come with me. Let’s go to a place where no one knows us and start a new life together, okay?” Lu Shaoyang looked at Shen Hanxing with anticipation. His imagination ran wild as he said, “I’m not getting engaged with another woman, and you don’t have to care about the Ji family’s affairs. From now on, it’s just the two of us, okay?”

“Lu Shaoyang, can you not be so childish?” Shen Hanxing wanted to laugh. “Are you trying to elope with me?”? Have you watched too many melodramatic dramas? Your parents raised you, yet you want to elope with me? You must be kidding.”

“But I love you! I love only you!” Lu Shaoyang grabbed his hair in pain. He screamed in despair, “Do you know how much my heart hurt when I knew that you married Ji Yan? Hanxing, I really can’t live without you!”

“But I will never love you,” Shen Hanxing pulled her arm out of Lu Shaoyang’s grip and distanced herself from him. “Lu Shaoyang, wake up. You are the one who thinks I like you. I don’t like you at all!”

“This is impossible!” Lu Shaoyang roared in disbelief. “I love you so much and work so hard to be with you. Why aren’t you touched?”

“Because you work hard, so I have to love you? Don’t you think it’s hilarious?” Shen Hanxing sneered. “Lu Shaoyang, you don’t love me. You’re just reluctant things didn’t go the way you expected.” After saying that, she looked away and turned around calmly.

“Is it because of my mother? What did my mother say to you before?” Lu Shaoyang suddenly spoke.

Shen Hanxing was stunned. She didn’t understand what Lu Shaoyang meant.

“You hate me and also hate my mother, right? So, you supported the development of the city west area and even participated in the development plan. Isn’t it because our family supported the development of the city east area?” Lu Shaoyang’s tone was agitated. He tried his best to find evidence of Shen Hanxing’s love for him. “If it wasn’t because of love, why would you do this?”

Shen Hanxing was speechless.

“I know, and I understand,” Lu Shaoyang suddenly stepped forward. He opened his arms and wanted to hug Shen Hanxing. “Hanxing, you have misunderstood. All along, the only person I have loved is you. I have never treated you as my sister. Don’t worry about what my mother said. As long as you nod your head, I will be with you regardless of everything. Please don’t do it because of me. The only person I love is you.”

“Are you crazy?” Shen Hanxing could not take it anymore. “Do you not understand simple English? I have already told you more than once that I don’t like you!”

Seeing that Lu Shaoyang was about to hug her, Shen Hanxing lifted her foot and kicked his stomach.

“Oh!” Lu Shaoyang held his stomach and knelt on the ground. His face was pale. “Hanxing…”

“You are so annoying!” Shen Hanxing frowned and pinched Lu Shaoyang’s chin “Lu Shaoyang, can you stop pestering me like a lunatic? How many times do I have to tell you to understand that not only do I not like you? I even hate you. Don’t say these ridiculous things to me anymore.” She lifted her hand and punched his abdomen as she said coldly, “I’m not always so patient and will listen to your nonsense always, do you understand?”

After saying that, Shen Hanxing turned around and left without any hesitation. Her high heels stepped on the smooth marble floor and made a crisp sound.

Lu Shaoyang laid on the cold ground. He gradually realized Shen Hanxing did not love him. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he curled up on the ground.

Clap! Chap! Clap! A round of applause sounded. Shen Hanxing stopped and looked around the corner.

Cheng Songyang crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, chuckling. “You are indeed heartless.”

The lights in the corridor had spoilt. The dim lights hung down, and the flickering light shone on Chen Songyang’s face. He looked threatening. Chen Songyang pursed his lips and chuckled as he said, “Thank you for letting me watch a good show.”

Shen Hanxing did not say a thing, and Cheng Songyang did not feel awkward. He continued laughing and sipping the red wine in his glass. The red wine on his scarlet lips made him look like a vampire in the night, revealing its ferocious fangs.
