Jiang An silently took a step back to give the two of them some space. In the end, this matter needed to be resolved by Zou Bai. It was best for her not to interfere.
After all, Jiang An had no idea what it was like when the two of them met. Moreover, it had been a few years since they met. She did not want to be involved.
At this moment, Ye Ying finally caught up to the lounge. She opened the door and wanted to take Chen Xiang away, but the other party was unwilling.
Ye Ying wanted to attack again, but Chen Xiang gently pinched her wrist. There was a small scar there. Chen Xiang had left it on her when she asked her why there were dead small animals.
She knew that Chen Xiang was warning her. If she wanted to take her away forcefully, she would have to pay a greater price in the future. Ye Ying could only retreat silently.
Chen Xiang’s face was covered in tears. “Zou Bai, if it was just to repay my father’s kindness, you could have left me overseas to find someone to take care of me. Why did you bring me back to China?”
“It wasn’t peaceful overseas at the time, and your father died because of me. Many enemies would come looking for you, so I brought you back to China. But you should also understand that I didn’t see you during this period. Do you think I did this because I care about you?” Zou Bai asked.
He had never done anything that would cause Chen Xiang to misunderstand. The two of them had only met a few times, and they were both accompanied by secret guards. They had never said anything intimate.
Zou Bai even began to doubt his memory. Did he really say something that made the other party misunderstand? He specially called the hidden guard with a superb memory over and asked him to write down the conversations between the two of them word by word.
After reading it twice, he confirmed that this matter was really not his fault.
However, Chen Xiang did not think so. “I know you’re cold to begin with and not someone who likes to express yourself. Moreover, you promised me back then to cooperate with the scandal. Does this not mean that you care about me?”
Zou Bai sighed helplessly. “You were the one who cried and complained that you couldn’t break into the entertainment industry. There were even people who wanted to keep you as a mistress. I said that the Zou family would come forward and build an entertainment company for you to protect you, but you rejected me. You said that you had to rely on your own ability.”
“I chose to respect you at that time, but two days later, you came to me in tears and said that someone wanted to forcefully attack you. You suggested this method and wanted to use my reputation to intimidate them.”
“At that time, I didn’t have any intention of dating, so I agreed to your idea. Anyway, it’s just some specious rumors. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous for you to bring this up now?”
After Zou Bai finished speaking, he quickly went to find some water to drink. He didn’t like to talk to begin with, and he even said such a long sentence in one go.
Jiang An picked up a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him. Unexpectedly, Zou Bai did not take it and gestured for her to help open it.
Jiang An had no choice but to do as she was told. As soon as she opened it, Zou Bai leaned over and took a sip. In the eyes of others, Jiang An was feeding him.
This was undoubtedly another blow to Chen Xiang. It clearly told her that she had been thinking too much.
There was nothing between her and Zou Bai. The warmth she had always remembered in her heart mostly came from her imagination.
Zou Bai’s constant denial was like a bolt from the blue to her. Her persistence for so many years was like a mental illness. It was actually all wishful thinking.
Chen Xiang could no longer hold on. She turned to look at Jiang An. “What about her? Is she the person you love?”
Zou Bai walked to Jiang An’s side and held her hand. “That’s right. She’s the love of my life. I’ll marry her and grow old with her.”
Tears kept falling from Chen Xiang’s eyes. She no longer cared if she looked good when she cried. She stood in the lounge and cried heart-wrenchingly. Anyone who saw her could feel her sadness.
However, Zou Bai was indifferent to this. He had never let Chen Xiang down from the beginning to the end. In order to repay her father’s kindness, he had brought her back to the country so that she could grow up in a safe and wealthy environment and finish university smoothly.
He was even willing to use his reputation to ensure her safety in the entertainment industry. It was extremely benevolent.
As for more, there was no need for him and no way for him to give it to her.
Chen Xiang cried for a while and wiped the tears off her face. “I was wrong. I won’t disturb you again.”
After saying that, she turned around and left the lounge. Only then did Yu Heng and the others dare to take a deep breath. The scene just now was really not something they should have seen.
After Chen Xiang left, the makeup artist immediately took off Yu Heng and Wang Yuan’s clothes. They changed out of their costumes as quickly as possible and left with everything. They looked like they were being chased by a tiger..
