Chapter 920 - 920 She Was About to Puke

920 She Was About to Puke

Shen Hanxing felt a surge of excitement in her heart. She couldn’t help but think, if she didn’t have that dream, could the people in this so-called world of the book break free from the influence of the plot with their own abilities? The plot in the dream seemed to have fallen apart, and the relationship between the protagonists Shen Sisi and Zhuang Li had become ridiculous. Since the direction of the main characters had changed, why couldn’t the supporting characters change their course as well? Why should they maintain their tragic fate?

Wei Xi’er was stunned. Shouldn’t she doubt herself? Waves surged in her eyes, as if something was struggling fiercely.

Finally, Wei Xi’er took a deep breath, and the waves in her eyes gradually disappeared. She looked at Shen Hanxing and said, “I understand.”

In a short period of time, Wei Xi’er seemed to have figured something out. There was a change in her spirit, and the gloom and desolation from before were gone. She was still herself, yet not quite herself.

Wei Xi’er raised the glass in her hand and smiled at Shen Hanxing, gesturing to her. “Thank you, Mrs. Ji. I know what I should do now.” The troubled look in her eyes gradually turned resolute, as if she had made a decision.

Shen Hanxing also smiled and clinked glasses with Wei Xi’er. “I wish you all the best, Miss Wei.”

“Xi’er.” Just then, a tender call sounded. Zhuang Li glanced at Shen Hanxing with caution and then held Wei Xi’er’s hand, smiling, “I’ve been looking for you for a while. Why didn’t you wait for me? Didn’t I tell you not to associate with those strange people?”

“I was just casually wandering around,” Wei Xi’er responded, allowing herself to lean into Zhuang Li’s arms. Then, with raised eyebrows and a smile, she said, “I get along well with Mrs. Ji. We were good friends before. Today is Mrs. Ji’s big day, so I came to say congratulations.”

After speaking, Wei Xi’er looked at Zhuang Li with a smile and said softly, “What’s wrong, Zhuang Li? Don’t you like me being friends with Mrs. Ji? Are you trying to interfere with my social life?”

“How could that be? Of course I didn’t mean that.” Zhuang Li’s eyelids twitched as he looked at Wei Xi’er. However, he could only see a faint smile in her eyes. There was no emotion in her eyes. However, this made him even more wary. He still had to pretend that nothing had happened on his face. “You’re someone I care about. I just love you so much that I felt uneasy when Mrs. Ji advised you to leave me before. I even got a little scared…” He held Wei Xi’er’s hand and kissed it lightly, saying affectionately, “Xi’er, I can’t bear even the slightest possibility of losing you. You know that.”

Shen Hanxing shivered. No, no, she couldn’t take it anymore, she was about to puke upon hearing those words!

Catching a glimpse of Shen Hanxing’s expression, Wei Xi’er hooked her lips and withdrew her hand from Zhuang Li’s grasp, smiling, “Mrs. Ji is my friend. She was only looking out for me before. You must not hold any grudge against her anymore.”

“Fine, I’ll do as you say,” Zhuang Li indulgently pinched Wei Xi’er’s nose, then frowned slightly, appearing somewhat reluctant. “She’s your friend, it has nothing to do with me. I won’t interfere with your social life, but Xi’er, you can’t force me to have good feelings toward Shen Hanxing.” Saying that, he cast a disgusted glance at Shen Hanxing and said coldly, “After all, I dislike her as much as she dislikes me.”

“Same here.” Shen Hanxing chuckled lightly, glancing at Zhuang Li indifferently. She didn’t mince her words, “I have no interest in deceitful and ambitious people who stop at nothing. They’re even bothersome to look at.”

“You!” Zhuang Li’s expression suddenly turned cold. He gritted his teeth and stared at Shen Hanxing with icy eyes. “Shen Hanxing, don’t push your luck.”

“Apologies, but I truly don’t know the meaning of boundaries,” Shen Hanxing smiled and said nonchalantly. “Please forgive me for that, Second Young Master Zhuang.”

Zhuang Li’s face grew darker. He despised being called Second Young Master! It was as if it reminded him that he had achieved nothing in the Zhuang family. Now, when people saw Zhuang Yu, they would kindly call him Junior President Zhuang, while he could only be Second Young Master! Such difference was unbearable for the always proud Zhuang Li!

Zhuang Li’s face turned unpleasant, his gaze tinged with a hint of ferocity. He wished he could pounce on Shen Hanxing and tear her to pieces!

Seeing Zhuang Li’s expression, Shen Hanxing pursed her lips and smiled.
