Shen Tianxing let out a soft sigh and spoke quietly into the phone.
“Gu Letong, be a decent person! Stop acting like a gossip reporter, digging into every little detail!”
“Shen Tianxing, I’m telling you, don’t you dare mess around—especially after running into that Xie Linchuan this morning. I could see the sparks flying in your eyes!”
Gu Letong went on and on. Shen Tianxing gestured to Xie Linchuan to hang up the call, but Xie Linchuan held the phone up high, listening intently to Gu Letong’s rant.
“Shen Tianxing, don’t forget how you rejected Xie Linchuan at last night’s banquet. He said he’d give all the projects to Fu Jinyan as long as you didn’t get engaged. Do you remember what you said?”
“You said you’d rather die than fall for Xie Linchuan, and you told him to save his energy—that a wealthy man like him from Beijing’s elite circles shouldn’t act like a lapdog, always fawning over you!”
Shen Tianxing: Did I really say something that awful?!
She glanced at Xie Linchuan, whose face clearly demanded an explanation.
“Shen Tianxing, are you even listening to me?” Gu Letong suddenly asked.
“I heard you. Alright, I’ve got things to do. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
“Shen Tianxing, don’t you dare cause any trouble. If you stir up drama, Uncle Shen will skin you alive!”
“Alright, Gu Letong, I know my limits. You go home and get your beauty sleep.”
“Okay, I’ll hang up now. Call me tomorrow.”
Gu Letong hung up instantly, leaving an embarrassed Shen Tianxing clinging awkwardly to Xie Linchuan!
“Hehe~” Shen Tianxing offered an awkward yet polite smile.
“Gu Letong’s crazy—just ignore her!”
“And what about you?” Xie Linchuan asked coldly.
“I’m not crazy—I’m perfectly normal!” Shen Tianxing gently kissed Xie Linchuan’s cheek.
Xie Linchuan: She’s insane! Stop kissing me—I’m about to lose control!
“Xie Linchuan, can’t you just smile? I used your card today just so you’d contact me. I kept track of every purchase—it totaled 37,656,900! I’ll have my brother transfer it back to you tomorrow!”
“No need. Didn’t you ask me to crash the wedding? Consider it a betrothal gift.”
Betrothal gift?
Crash the wedding?
He agreed!
Smack—Shen Tianxing planted a kiss right on Xie Linchuan’s lips!
As the saying goes:
When a man pursues a woman, it’s like climbing a mountain.
When a woman pursues a man, it’s like piercing through paper.
To win Xie Linchuan over, Shen Tianxing threw dignity, restraint, and pride out the window!
“Xie Linchuan~~” Shen Tianxing wrapped her arms around his neck, her gaze both alluring and captivating.
Her coquettish tone tugged tightly at Xie Linchuan’s heart.
Xie Linchuan had to admit—in front of this woman, his so-called self-control was utterly pointless.
“Shen Tianxing, get down. Let’s talk properly. Tell me what you really want.”
“I don’t want to marry Fu Jinyan!” Shen Tianxing looked at Xie Linchuan with a pitiful expression.
Her sudden display of vulnerability left Xie Linchuan at a loss.
“Then what do you want me to do? Do you understand what crashing a wedding means?”
He hesitated for a moment before continuing:
“The alliance between the Shen and Fu families is already the talk of the town. You’re not a three-year-old child, and I doubt you agreed to this on a whim.”
“If you want me to crash the wedding, fine—I’ll do it. Even if I show up and you change your mind and refuse to leave with me, I’ll accept it.”Xie Linchuan’s body trembled slightly, his emotions somewhat agitated.
“Can you get down now? Shen Tianxing, so you don’t have to do things you don’t want to do, nor deliberately please me! Remember, crashing the wedding is the last thing I, Xie Linchuan, will do for you!”
Shen Tianxing was stunned!
What had she done before to hurt Xie Linchuan’s heart so badly?
Crashing the wedding was only because she had said she didn’t want to get married!
How could Shen Tianxing not understand what crashing the wedding meant? If Xie Linchuan publicly crashed the wedding, it would cost the Xie family many projects.
She had come today actually wanting to properly discuss this matter with Xie Linchuan, but everything had turned into a mess.
Shen Tianxing’s mood was terrible!
She didn’t blame Xie Linchuan – everything was the consequence of her own past actions!
“Xie Linchuan, I’m sorry!” Shen Tianxing slowly climbed down from Xie Linchuan.
“I know I said many hurtful things to you before, and I know you don’t trust me. Crashing the wedding was my rash idea!”
“And I don’t want you to rashly crash the wedding only for Fu Jinyan to benefit greatly from it. I’ll handle this matter myself. Sorry to bother you!”
Shen Tianxing didn’t dare look at Xie Linchuan. She lowered her head and walked toward the sofa, picking up her clothes, preparing to change in the bathroom before leaving.
She kept her head down, tears welling up in her eyes despite her efforts to hold them back. She bit her lip, trying hard to control her sorrowful emotions.
Suddenly.
A pair of large hands pulled her into an embrace.
Instantly, Shen Tianxing’s emotions overflowed!
She cried in Xie Linchuan’s arms like a child!
Xie Linchuan just held her like that, gently patting her back.
Only when he felt Shen Tianxing’s emotions had stabilized somewhat did Xie Linchuan slowly speak.
“Shen Tianxing, what exactly happened?”
Shen Tianxing slowly pulled away from Xie Linchuan’s embrace, somewhat choked up.
“I just don’t want to marry Fu Jinyan. I was blind before! Now my eyes are clear!”
‘Wahhh~’ As she spoke, her emotions became agitated again.
This crying outburst frightened Xie Linchuan, who immediately comforted her:
“Don’t marry, don’t marry, don’t marry. I’ll crash the wedding, even if I have to give all the projects to the Fu Group to take you away, alright!”
Shen Tianxing suddenly stopped crying, her tear-streaked face looking seriously at Xie Linchuan.
‘Whoosh~’
She hesitated for two seconds, then happily jumped into Xie Linchuan’s arms.
This time, Xie Linchuan didn’t raise his hands in surrender, but instead caught her with both hands, tightly wrapping her thighs around his waist.
Shen Tianxing once again wrapped her arms around Xie Linchuan’s neck and said softly:
“Xie Linchuan, I need your help. On the day of the engagement banquet, I have a way to make Fu Jinyan lose all face!”
“You’re the only one who can make this happen. If successful, not only will the Xie family not need to transfer any projects, but the Shen family will also have legitimate grounds to call off the engagement.”
“If you don’t want to crash the wedding, that’s fine too.”
Shen Tianxing looked seriously at Xie Linchuan, whose face still showed little emotion.
“Xie Linchuan, I won’t let you help for nothing. I’ll show my sincerity first – whether you want me or not is up to you!”
After saying this, Shen Tianxing instantly kissed Xie Linchuan.
This wasn’t like those shallow kisses before – this kiss contained all the guilt and gratitude Shen Tianxing felt toward Xie Linchuan from her previous life!
Even if he didn’t want her in this life, she would still protect him in her own way, not letting him be framed by villains again.
All the emotions Xie Linchuan had been suppressing were completely awakened by Shen Tianxing’s sudden kiss.He directly pinned Shen Tianxing down on the bed…
…(passionate imagination…)
