At this moment, Shi Xin Xin, who was being toyed with by Lin Ruo Xi, didn't realize that Lin Ruo Xi had dug a trap for her.
Shi Xin Xin walked out of the company gate aimlessly, feeling extremely agitated.
She knew she shouldn't care about what those trivial people said, but she couldn't control herself. Sheng Chen Jin's expression just now flashed in her mind.
He clearly liked her, so why did he suddenly cancel the engagement?
Could it be that, as the news online suggested, he already had someone he liked?
Thinking of this, Shi Xin Xin's steps faltered.
No way?
How could he possibly like another girl!
If it were another girl, he might admit it, but absolutely not Lin Ruo Xi!
Shi Xin Xin shook her head, tossing all the chaotic thoughts to the back of her mind.
She didn't believe Sheng Chen Jin would fall for someone else, absolutely not…
She wanted to find Sheng Chen Jin and ask him clearly. If he truly liked another girl, then she would also withdraw without hesitation.
Shi Xin Xin looked up at the sky. The sky today seemed a bit gloomy, as if it were about to rain.
Shi Xin Xin reached out and touched the tissue box in her pocket, remembering her own disheveled appearance when she was crying just now, and couldn't help but sigh.
Her current image was too embarrassing, even uglier than before…
Shi Xin Xin bit her lip and pondered. If Sheng Chen Jin saw her, he would definitely mock her, right?
As Shi Xin Xin was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the roar of an engine from beside her, and immediately, a cool sports car stopped next to her.
Shi Xin Xin snapped back to reality and looked to the side, only to find that the owner of the sports car was Sheng Chen Jin.
Shi Xin Xin's face darkened.
"Get in." Sheng Chen Jin rolled down the window and shouted to Shi Xin Xin.
Shi Xin Xin pursed her lips and looked at Sheng Chen Jin.
Why did this man always make her feel so uncomfortable?
Shi Xin Xin took a deep breath, then opened the car door and got in.
"Where to?"
"My place."
Shi Xin Xin frowned. She didn't want to go; she didn't want to face Sheng Chen Jin right now.
"We're over between us. Why are you still clinging to me?"
"Yes, you're right," Sheng Chen Jin nodded, starting the car, and continued, "We are indeed over, but our relationship is not over."
"What do you want to do?" Shi Xin Xin was a little flustered, afraid Sheng Chen Jin would do something worse than an animal to her.
Sheng Chen Jin chuckled, his eyes fixed ahead, a strange smile on his lips.
He slowly said, "I said, I don't want to do anything."
"Then you are..." Shi Xin Xin frowned, looking at him.
"I just want to talk about our wedding."
"No!"
"I'm not asking for your consent, I'm informing you. Our engagement ceremony will be held earlier."
"Sheng Chen Jin!" Shi Xin Xin yelled in exasperation, "What on earth do you want? Why are you forcing me?"
"I'm not forcing you. It's just that our parents on both sides hope we hold the engagement ceremony as soon as possible, considering we are not young anymore."
"That's just what your parents want, not what I want. I don't want to get married!" Shi Xin Xin shouted angrily.
Sheng Chen Jin curled his lips, casting a indifferent glance at Shi Xin Xin.
Shi Xin Xin's resistance, in his eyes, was merely a ploy of playing hard to get, not worth a second thought.
"I know what you're thinking, but you don't need to think anymore. I would never marry you. Even if you begged me on your knees, I wouldn't agree to any of your requests, unless you give up this idea." Sheng Chen Jin snorted coldly, saying without emotion.
Shi Xin Xin was stunned.
How could he guess what she was thinking?
"You..."
"Don't look at me like that, because in your eyes, I'm nothing. You like me, but I don't like you. We're just a mutually beneficial transaction."
"You..." Shi Xin Xin trembled with anger, tears flowing uncontrollably, "How can you say such a thing? My feelings for you are genuine. Don't you feel anything at all? You..."
Sheng Chen Jin impatiently interrupted her, "Shut up. I don't want to argue about this topic with you anymore. I just want to ask you one thing: do you accept my proposal or not?"
Shi Xin Xin gritted her teeth, wishing she could pounce on him and crush Sheng Chen Jin's bones!
Her chest heaved, and tears fell one after another, dripping onto the car window.
This scene fell into Sheng Chen Jin's eyes, making him feel a strange pang of heartache.
But he didn't want to soften his heart.
He knew he liked this girl.
But he couldn't like her.
This girl would only ruin him.
She would make him the target of public criticism.
They, as scions of prominent families, didn't need emotions.
Sheng Chen Jin didn't know what he had done to offend Shi Xin Xin, so he was unwilling to hurt this girl.
There was no possibility between them.
Shi Xin Xin clenched her teeth, unwilling to compromise, but more tears flowed.
She felt very sad and pained in her heart.
She wanted to cry, to vent all the grievances in her heart.
But Sheng Chen Jin's attitude was too firm, so firm that she didn't know how to refuse.
She just wanted to cry…
Shi Xin Xin lowered her head, not letting Sheng Chen Jin see her vulnerability.
"How about it? Do you agree or not? If you agree, nod; if you don't agree, shake your head." Sheng Chen Jin's tone was full of threats.
Shi Xin Xin didn't want to compromise, but she also didn't want to refuse Sheng Chen Jin. She was extremely conflicted.
"I, I agree!" In the end, Shi Xin Xin chose to compromise.
Upon hearing Shi Xin Xin's words, Sheng Chen Jin curled his lips and smiled.
"That's good. I will treat you well."
Shi Xin Xin ignored Sheng Chen Jin, turning her face away, not wanting to acknowledge him.
She didn't know if she was demeaning herself or Sheng Chen Jin, but she only knew that this man's existence was the most unacceptable thing in her life.
His single promise was enough to break her heart into pieces.
Sheng Chen Jin no longer paid attention to Shi Xin Xin and stepped on the accelerator, leaving Sheng's Manor.
He sped all the way to the airport and drove back to the villa where he lived.
After getting out of the car, he glanced at the black Maybach following behind him, sneered, and casually pressed the remote control, tossing the car keys onto the passenger seat.
His car was quickly towed into the underground garage.
Sheng Chen Jin walked into the villa, and the servants quickly greeted him, solicitously helping him with his coat.
"Young Master, you seem to be in a bad mood today."
"Hmm," Sheng Chen Jin replied indifferently, then walked directly towards the stairs.
The servant followed Sheng Chen Jin, frowning in confusion.
The young master's temper seemed to have changed a lot recently. Normally, he would be working in his study at this time, so why did he suddenly return today?
The servant couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare to think too much, just quietly tidied things up.
When Shi Xin Xin returned home, she noticed that the atmosphere at home was different from usual, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
