When Chen Mingda saw Xie Siyao, the expression on his face instantly turned cold.
“Mingda, there’s something I need to tell you…”
“I have no interest in listening,” replied Chen Mingda flatly. Then he walked around Xie Siyao, preparing to leave.
“Mingda, our child…”
Xie Siyao instinctively turned around and stared at the silhouette of Chen Mingda leaving. Mid-sentence, Chen Mingda stopped walking and coldly exclaimed, “I told you. I’m not interested in listening! There are so many people here. I’m only replying to you to save you some face. If you want to preserve face, don’t force me to lash out at you in front of so many people!”
Xie Siyao pursed her lips and didn’t dare to say another word.
Chen Mingda noticed she was quiet and didn’t linger for another moment as he took big strides away.
Xie Siyao stared at the silhouette of Chen Mingda’s gradually disappearing back. A layer of fog gradually filled her eyes.
People were walking by, and she was afraid she would really cry in an entire room of celebrities and media outlets. She hurriedly lowered her head.
No matter how hard she tried to control her emotions, pain ricocheted endlessly in her chest. She was really afraid she was going to lose it, so she hurriedly held up her dress. She weaved through the crowd, ran out of the restaurant, and entered the restroom.
She hid in a cubicle and cried freely for a while before she forced herself to calm down, get up and walk out.
Since she had been crying for a long time, her eye makeup was ruined. She tried to fix it in the mirror for a long time before she took a deep breath. Once she was sure there were no signs of her tears, she walked out of the restroom.
Xie Siyao headed for the door, returning to the dinner in her high heels.
But just as she brushed past the emergency exit, she heard her own name on the other side of the half-open door. “I heard you did it with that Xie Siyao chick?”
The voice didn’t sound familiar and Xie Siyao couldn’t make out who it was, but the voice stopped her in her tracks.
Following the sound of a lighter being flicked, she then heard a familiar voice. “Yeah. Last month.”
Is that… Yang Li?
Didn’t I tell him that after leaving the hotel, we’d respectively forget about that whole incident? Why’s he openly showing off to other people?
All of a sudden, a fire ignited in Xie Siyao’s chest. She instinctively raised a foot and prepared to confront Yang Li, but before she reached the door to the emergency exit, the two of them continued their conversation.
The unknown man spoke first. “How did you do it? She’s Prince Chen’s chick! You sleeping with her is like shaming Prince Chen. Aren’t you scared Prince Chen’s going to kill you?”
“It happened over twenty or so days ago. Don’t I look just fine?” Yang Li asked.
“How did you do it? You couldn’t have used something on Prince Chen, right?”
“No way – I couldn’t possibly have anything on Prince Chen. Qian Ge helped me get her.”
Qian Ge… As those two words drilled into Xie Siyao’s ears, it felt like her pressure points had been hit. All of a sudden, she stopped mid-step and froze on the spot.
The stranger seemed just as surprised as she was. “Qian Ge? Isn’t she best friends with Xie Siyao? The two of them are business partners. You’re kidding, right?”
“Do I look like I’m kidding?” Yang Li scoffed softly. “I only got Xie Siyao because Qian Ge drugged her and personally delivered her to my bed. The only reason why Prince Chen didn’t stop me was because Qian Ge delivered Xie Siyao to my room, took the photo of her kissing me then sent it to Prince Chen…”
