Chapter 189

Did you call Duan Shurong? He Jin was stunned, did Duan Shurong really say the same to his mother?

His mother said, yes. Didnt you tell me that you were going to have dinner with her? Since I waited for you until 10pm and you were still not home, and I couldnt reach you on phone either, so I called her. She told me that you separated after dinner, and she thought you had returned home

He Jin found it strange. He had obviously lied when he told his mother that hed have dinner with Duan Shurong. Did Duan Shurong cover that lie successfully or not?

He Jins mother, are you only thinking like this after drinking too much? Well, lets not discuss about it first. Come home quick!

After hanging up, He Jin had a look again at the other missed calls. At 10:10pm last night, Duan Shurong had called him once. According to his a.n.a.lysis, she called He Jin after his mother had called her.

Its not even 8am yet, and He Jin wasnt sure if shed already woken up. He wanted to send a message to Duan Shurong first, but when he entered the message interface, he was stunned.

There was a new message, and its an unknown number. The message was sent about an hour ago, thats at 6:44am. There were only four words in it take a good rest.

He Jin was in a panic, who would send him a message at this hourcould that be the man from last night?

For a while, he thought of the person whom he hadnt thought of again, but hes also worried its only his illusion, and he dared not even call back nor send a message back to confirm the ident.i.ty.

He Jin hurriedly checked online the location of the number, and when he saw A City popping up on the webpage, his heart almost popped out as well!

Qin Yangcould that be Qin Yang?

He Jin was trembling all over. And he was praying continuously. Ifjust ifthat would be great if it was Qin Yang. No matter what Qin Yang had done to him, he wouldnt blame him, as hes willing to accept everything Qin Yang would do.

Relying on this imagination, He Jin seemed to have regained some strength. He supported himself into the bathroom. Before going home, he had to first take a shower.

When he entered the bathroom, he looked at himself covered with red marks, and he felt his face burning again. He turned on the shower head and washed away all the stickiness on his body, there was even a slight pain on his shoulders. When He Jin looked at it, it had been bitten open

Wellshould he go to the hospital for an injection?

After the shower, He Jin put on his clothes, and he felt that hes extremely exhausted.

His wallet and ID card were still in his wallet. When he took out the hotel room card and saw the words on it, he finally realized that hes in the best hotel in Q city!

He reluctantly went to the receptionist to return the card, and he also asked about the person who had paid for the room. The receptionist looked at He Jin with curiosity, and said, this room has already been paid, its done by someone called Ms. Li. She came this morning to pay for an extension of your stay, so you can actually stay until 6pm. Are you sure that youre checking out now? The extra fee is non-refundable.

He Jin nodded his face blankly, then turned around and left.

He didnt know this Ms. Li at all. In this case, aside from that mysterious man, there was a third party who knew that they were thereHe Jin dared not think anymore, now he really wanted to find out if that person was Qin Yang.

On his way back home, He Jins bracelet vibrated. He immediately switched on it and checked it, it was a message from Duan Shurong.

He Jin, your mom called me last night, did you lie to her and say that youd have dinner with me? Although I dont know why you lied to her, I covered it. So, tell me how youre gonna thank me.

He Jin thought about it for a while and replied, sorry that I dragged you in. I drank some wine last night and I didnt return home. Im only returning now. However, you dont have to do it again for me, if anything happens to me and if theres any investigation, youll be the last one who saw me, and this will be bad for you.

Duan Shurong replied very quickly, goshHe Jin, are you always this considerate?

He Jin, what Im saying is true. But still, I do need to thank you. Ill pay you back dinner one day.

Duan Shurong, all I was waiting for you is your last sentence.

He Jin was speechless, and when he thought of what his mother was saying, he couldnt help but ask, did you tell my mom that Im good? And that you want to know more about me?

Duan Shurong, thats right, I thought about your past after we separated, and I thought that Id give you a chance so that you can walk out from your trauma. Who knows, maybe youll forget your ex after youre with me!

He Jin smiled bitterly, he wasnt sure whether this girl was just too stubborn or too confident.

Its wrong when someone a.s.sumed that He Jin hadnt looked forward to meeting the right person, one that could make him fall in love at once and even forget about the past. But he just hasnt met any, and its not like he wasnt willing to make that step forward.

Before that, someone had also told He Jin the same words, that she didnt care about the past, that they could try, but that trial would be an ethic torture for He Jin.

Every detail with another person would remind him of Qin Yang, and he couldnt help but start comparing the girl with Qin Yang, then he would make a conclusion for himselfwhat he feared wasnt the present, but the future. He was worried, and he was pretty sure that he would stay the same forever. If he started a relations.h.i.+p with a girl without any considerations, it also means wasting her feelings and her youth. He Jin couldnt do that.

He didnt know how to explain it to Duan Shurong. There was simply no way to explain things like this in a text message.
