Chapter 122: Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder (1)
Zhong Chenghao was immediately on call as soon as he had woken up, he might as well stay to eat breakfast.
Zuo Weiyi had almost finished her meal, so she wanted to head upstairs.
She had not showered for so long while since she was staying at the public security bureau and was feeling miserable.
At the dinner table, one of the men was looking at her leaving the table.
Zhong Chenghao lifted his head up and stared at Shi Yuting, his mouth slowly opened to ask a question.
“Ting, the thing about Xinlei, was it you who had done it?”
Shi Yuting was eating his porridge when the question was raised. He paused for a moment before replying, “Yes.”
Zhong Chenghao grew uneasy. “Why would you do that?”
Shi Yuting put down the bowl in his hand and looked into Zhong Chenghao’s eyes, his face cold. “Am I obligated to explain my actions to you?”
Zhong Chenghao hesitated and quickly explained, “I don’t mean that. I just mean you don’t have to…”
“When someone exploits me, they should expect to pay a price.”
Destroying Jing Corporate and banishing Jing Xinlei from his life, these actions were not results of the sole reason that she had exploited his feelings toward her, it was also…
The fact that she wanted to murder Zuo Weiyi to hide it from him!
If he had not headed to the corridor to pick up the phone call that day, would Zuo Weiyi have been gotten rid of by the mother-daughter pair?
While listening to him, Zhong Chenghao stayed silent.
Their relationship had probably ended five years ago.
If he still had some feelings toward Xinlei, he would not have removed her name from the entertainment circle.
Speaking about it, he wondered what happened when Shi Yuting had headed to Country C because of the presidential candidate issue a few days back.
“Let’s stop talking about this. Do you have everything settled?”
Shi Yuting remained calm after hearing his friend’s question. He leaned back against the chair and fiddled with the ring on his little finger.
“Not yet.”
Zhong Chenghao could not help but feel stunned.
“Not yet? Isn’t it decided already?”
For Zhong Chenghao, Shi Yuting was the most perfect candidate for the presidential position.
His grandfather was a cabinet speaker, and Shi Yuting had already begun to settle *** a few years back. It was a widespread rumor that he would become the next president.
Shi Yuting looked at him, annoyed. “Don’t you need to go to your hospital today?”
His eyes seemed to be asking him, ‘Why are you so talkative today? Don’t you have a job to do?’
Zhong Chenghao decided to compromise and gave him another ‘OK’ sign, “I’ll take my leave now then. Thank you for the meal.”
After he left, Shi Yuting stood up as well. He went to the living room but did not see Zuo Weiyi, so he headed upstairs to their bedroom.
When he opened the door, there was no one there too.
Just as he wanted to turn around, he heard the room to the bathroom being opened.
Her exposed shoulder, long legs, and her curvy body caught Shi Yuting’s attention.
After days of not seeing her, he had indeed missed her scent.
Zuo Weiyi was stunned as well because she did not expect that he would come upstairs.
Even though they slept together every night, appearing in front of him with just a single towel made her feel exposed.
Silence descended in the room and was quickly replaced by an air of intimacy. Zuo Weiyi bit her bottom lip and was attempting to break this awkward silence.
“Uhm… Has your friend left?”
Shi Yuting walked toward her. Instead of answering her, his lips curled into a charming smile. “You’re getting to know me more and more.”
