Chapter 264 Su Yicheng, Goodbye

Su Yicheng?

It was strange. During this time, Luo Xiaoxi hadnt been missing him crazily like she was when the car accident just took place.

It was not because she was too busy, nor it was because her parents finally recovered.

She just carefully placed Su Yicheng at the safest place in her heart, just like Su Jianan used to hide her love for Lu Boyan deep inside.

On that day, as usual, Luo Xiaoxi set off to the hospital after work.

Lao Luo actually was able to be discharged but stayed because he wanted to keep her wife in company. Therefore, Luo Xiaoxi naturally saw the hospital as her second home as well and didnt go home until 11 oclock at night.

However, today was a bit different, because the moment she stepped out of the elevator, she froze

At the other end of the hall, her mother, who seemed to have awaited her for long, was walking toward Luo Xiaoxi.

After confirming again and again, she was finally sure shes not imagining things. Her mother had been in a wheelchair after she woke up, and now, she could finally stand on her feet!

Mom!

Luo Xiaoxi screamed out of happiness and rushed to hug her mother.

Mrs. Luo smiled tenderly and patted her daughters back. Xiaoxi, it must be hard for you during the past few days.

Not at all! Luo Xiaoxi jerked her head, her eyes tearful already. As long you and Lao Luo recover, Ill do whatever it takes!

At the moment, Luo Xiaoxi felt that lady luck might start to favor her again.

Her parents were both discharged from hospital and Lao Luo started to get his hands on the company affairs. Therefore, when she did not know what to do, Luo Xiaoxi wouldnt have to worry like she used to, because she could just throw the case to Lao Luo.

Sometimes, she would even discuss s certain company project with Lao Luo, and they would get so heated up in a discussion till their faces redden if they had different opinions. However, in the end, they would always end up bursting into laughter together.

Nasty girl. As if he were scolding her, Lao Luo poked on the space between his daughters brows, but his poking carried a parental tenderness. Ive just been discharged. Why wont you yield to me?

Cut it! out The scattered files swished on the surface of the table, it was Luo Xiaoxi putting them aside. Youve recovered long ago! Plus, its about the companys interest. I cant be careless about that.

Lao Luo sighed as if he had been badly hurt.

Luo Xiaoxi chuckled and wished that her life could always be like this.

On Friday night, Luo Xiaoxi was invited to an evening banquet.

In the past, if attending an occasion like this, Luo Xiaoxi would dress so sexily and glamorously to make sure that no man on the scene could take their eyes off her.

However, after getting used to black, white, or grey suit, she turned to keep a low profile as Su Jianan did. Now, in choosing dresses, she would pick elegance over sexiness. Thus she put on a black strapless gown, accompanied by a set of diamond jewelry.

After making herself up, she skillfully took a selfie in front of the mirror and sent it to Su Jianan on Wechat.

Su Jianan had gone off work and stayed at home now. So, soon, she responded with a question mark, along with a sentence: What are you trying to say?

Im the junior Director Luo in Luo Enterprise, so I gotta be composed and elegant! After typing that, Luo Xiaoxi added a coy emoji behind it, so Su Jianan had to reply with a series of dots.

Having just arrived in time at the hotel, Luo Xiaoxi handed their invitations to the receptionist with her arm in Qin Weis. Qin Wei joked. Will people take us as a couple seeing us like this?

We nearly became a couple. Luo Xiaoxi compressed her lips and smiled proudly as she used to. But you missed your shot.

Well. If it were on another occasion, Qin Wei would have rolled his eyes at her words already.

Having taken a few steps with Luo Xiaoxis arm in his, Qin Wei suddenly slowed down. He lifted his chin to someone in front of them, signaling Luo Xiaoxi to look in that direction.

It was Su Yicheng, without a companion.

Luo Xiaoxis smile froze at that moment, and suddenly turned around grabbing Qin Weis hand. However, Qin Wei calmly stopped her from fleeing.

Are you afraid? Qin Wei smiled as if he had seen her through.

Afraid, my foot! Luo Xiaoxi hurridly denied, looking into Qin Weis eyes, and her eyes betrayed her guilty feeling.

She felt a little mad and embarrassed, so she jerked her head away to hide her feelings.

However, the truth was she was lying. Now, she felt like when she saw Su Yicheng for the first time in her teens. She couldnt even control her heartbeat back then. Now, when he didnt bring a companion with her, she also secretly felt elated.

Admit it, Luo Xiaoxi, youll always be a wimp in front of Su Yicheng.

Qin Wei glanced at Luo Xiaoxi. Im going to meet with a few friends. Are you going with me?

Luo Xiaoxi quickly pulled her arm from Qin Weis. I dont want no toxic friends of yours. You go ahead.

The moment Qin Wei left, Su Yicheng headed straight to her.

Luo Xiaoxi secretly clenched her fists and her racing heart seemed to pop out of her throat. She almost wanted to escape.

Nevertheless, before she had a chance to put her thoughts into actions, someone dragged her away by hand.

It was crowded in the ballroom, so Luo Xiaoxi didnt dare to yell. She kept struggling but couldnt get rid of Su Yichengs hand at all, which was like a secure lock.

Su Yicheng brought her into a room.

The chandelier of the room was not lit, only dim sconces were on, leaving the atmosphere suggestive. Su Yicheng pinned Luo Xiaoxi onto the wall, his chest slightly heaving. She could smell the familiar scent of his.

Luo Xiaoxi swallowed and tried to sound as calm as possible. What do you want?

Su Yicheng fixed his gaze on her.

His gaze appeared more intense against the dim lights, almost burning Luo Xiaoxi.

Dazed, Luo Xiaoxi only saw a dark figure shadowing her, and then a familiar touch hit her lips

Strange. He looks so cold but his lips still feel as soft as before.

All of a sudden, Luo Xiaoxi found that she remembered all things about him: his kiss, his fragrance, his hug. She never had forgotten any of them.

Something electric ran from her spine to her entire body. She nearly collapsed in Su Yichengs arms.

Luckily, she had learned how to stay rationalThe next second, she placed her hands on Su Yichengs chest and pushed him hard. She mumbled some protests, but could not stop him from going further.

She didnt know how long it had been before Su Yicheng released her. He pressed his forehead on hers. Xiaoxi

His voice was husky but still attractive, full of helplessness as well as affections. Luo Xiaoxis feisty hands froze in the air, and her heart softened bit by bit.

During the past months, Su Yicheng did have crossed her mind.

Su Yicheng was not the only one who had been hurt.

I didnt mean to hurt you or try to hide it from you for the rest of my life. Su Yicheng caressed Luo Xiaoxis cheek with his coarse thumb, but she tossed it away.

She avoided his touch. Zhang Mei has told me that her father helped you and I know you had to save Zhang Meis name back then.

Ive done and said everything I could. After a long while of silence, Su Yichengs voice betrayed his despair.

Luo Xiaoxi suddenly dived at Su Yicheng and blocked his lips, kissing him without any skills, like a revengeful little lion.

Su Yichengs limbs froze and didnt come around until seconds later. Then, he circled one hand around Luo Xiaoxis waist, and another at the back of her head, seizing the initiative to kiss her hard.

Luo Xiaoxi didnt surrender either. She untied Su Yichengs tie and unbuttoned his shirt. Before long, the two had shifted from the living room to the bedroom.

It was more like a game where no party wanted to be the passive one or admit defeat. They both went all out.

When they finished in the early morning, Luo Xiaoxi was already exhausted.

She kicked Su Yicheng. When was the last time you?

What? Su Yichengs eyes looked appealingly languid, and he asked her in an unruffled voice.

Luo Xiaoxi gritted her teeth and snapped three words. Touch a woman!

Su Yicheng stared at her. How long have you been avoiding me?

Luo Xiaoxi fell silent. She turned around, and Su Yicheng couldnt read her mind.

Xiaoxi. Su Yicheng reached out, trying to touch Luo Xiaoxis back. However, she seemed to have expected it and stumbled out of bed. She picked up the clothes on the ground and staggered over to the bathroom.

Soon, she got dressed and walked out. Ill be off.

However, she didnt go far before Su Yicheng clutched her wrist from behind. Lets get this straight. He couldnt stand the ambiguity anymore.

I dont see the need. Its people getting what they want if you ask me. Luo Xiaoxi turned back, smiled charmingly as if she hadnt given a damn about him. Were all grown-ups. You dont think itll mean anything, do you?

Su Yichengs chest suddenly heaved up and down, and he spat two words through his teeth. Luo Xiaoxi!

Ive told you before, we cant go back anymore. Luo Xiaoxi broke free from Su Yicheng. This is the last time. Su Yicheng, goodbye.

She galloped out the door, collected her coat to wrap herself up, and got on the taxi to home.

Her parents were already asleep and Luo Xiaoxi snucked into her room, but she couldnt sleep.

She swooshed open the drawer at the bottom of the bedside table and fished out some photos. Su Yicheng and she took those photos in the ancient town.

For several times, she wanted to shred these photos and threw them into the trash bin. However, when she thought these were their only photos, she couldnt do it no matter how determined she had been.

She stuffed the photos back into the drawer, threw herself onto the bed, and finally fell asleep when the dawn was breaking.

She dreamed Su Yicheng in her hazy dreams.

In her dreams, he resolutely let go of her hand and said, Xiaoxi, goodbye.

Then, he left, without so much as a backward glance.

Her heart seemed to get entangled in thin threads. It cut her so deep that she lost her voice and could only squat in pain, holding her knees.

She shrank into a lump as if she could minimize the damage.

When she woke up, Luo Xiaoxi involuntarily wiped the corner of her eye and actually found tears all over the back of her hand.

Damn! I even cried in dreams.

Looking at the time, she found it was already past 10 oclock.

She gasped but then realized it was Saturday. Then, she calmed down again and dragged herself to the washing room. She put on turtleneck to hid love bites on her collarbone and neck and went downstairs in a composed manner.

Lao Luo was drinking tea in the living room. Seeing her have woken up, he asked her to have breakfast.

Luo Xiaoxi shook her head. Im not hungry.

Come here. Lao Luo patted on the seat beside him. Sit. I want to talk to you.

Luo Xiaoxi had to sit down by Lao Luos order.

Then, Lao Luo smiled first. When did you came back last night?

Early morning. Luo Xiaoxi was feeling guilty. You were asleep when I came back so I didnt wake you up.

I thought you wouldnt come back. Lao Luos smile suddenly became meaningful.

Luo Xiaoxis sense of guilt turned stronger.

Lao Luo raised his hand to say that Luo Xiaoxi didnt have to justify herself. Seriously, now that Im fully recovered and can take charge of Luo Enterprise any time. Do you still want to work in Luo Enterprise? If you do, Ill arrange a suitable job for you to improve yourself. And of course, you have the right to say no.

Luo Xiaoxi had long known that she had to make a choice sooner or later.
