Many years later, when Luo Xiaoxi rembered this mont, she could still felt that feeling as if she were isolated by the entire world, and she was struggling on a piece of land of wilderness.
Outside ICU—
Luo Xiaoxi could not enter. She could only watch her parents behind the windows.
Her mother’s injuries were more severe. A pile of instrunts surrounded her mother, revealing only her eyes and cheeks.
As for his father, who used to give orders in his company, he seed to have aged a decade overnight. Now, no matter how she misbehaved, her father was not able to get up to scold her.
It was all her fault. If she had not fallen in love with Su Yicheng, she would not have beco a model so soon just to prove herself in front of him.
If she had not beco a model or loved Su Yicheng, she would not have fallen out with her father.
If she had not fallen out with her father, loved Su Yicheng, or beco a model, her father would not have driven to the TV station in a hurry or had a car accident on the way, waiting here for the coming unknown fate.
She really should not have loved Su Yicheng.
Tears stread down her face, and everything she saw was just a blur, like her world right now. She used to think her happiness was tangible and touchable, but now... she had nothing at all.
“Xiaoxi.” Candy put a tissue on Luo Xiaoxi’s hand. “In case you wanted to know, you’re in the finals.”
“Candy...” Luo Xiaoxi’s mouth twitched. Then, she responded after a long while. “I’m sorry.”
She was going to give up the finals.
It might be a waste of a good opportunity for others to do so, but she was Luo Xiaoxi.
Candy nodded because she completely understood Luo Xiaoxi’s decision. “I’ll discuss with the director. Xiaoxi, you must hold on. In tis like this, you must keep calm. Don’t do anything stupid.”
“I’ve been stupid for 10 years or so.” Luo Xiaoxi wiped her tears with the back of her hand. “And I won’t be like that anymore.”
When Su Yicheng first rejected her, she should have listened to his father and given up on Su Yicheng.
Or, if she had listened to his father for the first ti to break up with Su Yicheng and marry Qin Wei, things would not have ended up like this.
It took so ti for Candy to realize Luo Xiaoxi’s words, and she sighed.
Luo Xiaoxi once thought if she ended up with Su Yicheng, she would be happy. However, after just one night, she lost everything.
“You should go ho, Candy.” Luo Xiaoxi was still watching her parents in ICU. “Please cancel all my arrangents. I’ll pay the default.”
“Yes, I will. And you must be strong right now.” Candy put her hand on Luo Xiaoxi’s shoulder. She patted on it and left.
It was silent in the long corridor, and Luo Xiaoxi was standing behind the windows. But for the tears oozing out of her eyes, she looked almost like a vivid sculpture.
When she refused to break up with Su Yicheng, her father must have been disappointed, right? She had been the apple of her parents’ eye, and she grew up to be soone else’s scapegoat.
When she thought about how her parents suffered during the accident, Luo Xiaoxi felt like a knife was jerking inside her heart. She quickly closed her eyes, but still could not hold back her tears.
It hurt even more than the last ti when Su Yicheng ignored her because of her leaking the proposal of Cheng An Group. At that ti, she did not do anything wrong. However, this ti, it was all her fault and she had nearly killed her parents.
Luo Xiaoxi clapped her hand over her mouth. She slowly squatted while groaning in pain.
She was like a badly injured beast and she did all those things to hurt herself.
The night outside the window seed to creep onto her and shroud her with heavy darkness.
If her parents could not make it through the next 48 hours, the sun would never rise in the sky of her future life.
...
Before going to sleep, Su Jianan received Candy’s call. Almost at the sa ti, Lu Boyan pushed open the door and told her the sa thing.
Luo Xiaoxi’s parents had a serious car accident.
Su Jianan almost jumped off the bed. She grabbed her coat and rushed out. “Send to the hospital.”
Lu Boyan stopped her. “Go get changed. I’ll pick the car downstairs.”
When Su Jianan had gotten changed in the blink of an eye, Lu Boyan had already started the car and was waiting for her. The high-performance car released like an arrow leaving the bow, and Su Jianan asked while rummaging for her phone. “How did you know?”
“Shen Yuechuan saw it on the news and called .”
Imdiately, Su Jianan thought of Su Yicheng and she dialed his number.
During the entire day, Su Yicheng had been busy. After he finished work and was ready to go to the TV station, he received Zhang i’s call.
On the phone, Zhang i threatened to reveal everything to Luo Xiaoxi if he did not et her right away.
At that mont, the showed had not started yet, and it would definitely affect Xiaoxi badly if she knew about it. If she lost tonight’s ga, she would never make it to the finals.
He had to change his plan and et Zhang i first. During their eting, sothing ca up in the company so he left the cafe in a hurry and dropped his phone there. It was very late after him handling the matter in the company and retrieving his phone from Zhang i.
He browsed through his call logs and did not see Luo Xiao’s number again.
Was she celebrating for she had entered the finals?
While thinking like that, Su Jianan called. He picked it up in doubt. The mont he heard the first sentence, he grabbed the car key and galloped out the room, not even closing the door behind him.
When Su Yicheng arrived at the hospital, it was already early morning. He could hear a pin drop in the ICU building, and he saw Luo Xiaoxi moaning on the floor.
Around her were four white walls and above her were pale lights. Everything was lifeless, and even her figure looked the sa...
Su Yicheng wanted to et Luo Xiaoxi tomorrow to ask her why she suddenly left last night and why she spent the night with Qin Wei in a hotel after saying that she would return ho. At this mont, his tenderness for her put all that behind him.
He never saw Luo Xiaoxi like this. Helpless, pitiful, like a deserted animal.
He slowly walked to her. Luo Xiaoxi felt heartache when hearing the familiar footsteps.
She used to expect to hear those sounds so much. However, today, she found herself terribly wrong.
Su Yicheng reached out to help Luo Xiaoxi up, but she tossed his hand and got up herself. Through those watery eyes, he still saw the coldness in her eyes.
He had a bad hunch and when he tried again to hold Luo Xiaoxi, she stopped him.
“Xiaoxi...” Su Yicheng called her na.
“Let’s break up.” Tears stread down her face, but Luo Xiaoxi’s voice was calm without any emotion. “We should’ve done this long ago.”
She should have ended the trouble long ago.
Su Yicheng finally confird that sothing he was not aware of happened as well, so he stared at Luo Xiaoxi, trying to find sothing on her face. She slightly lifted her lips. “You don’t need to read my mind. I’ve known everything.”
As Su Yicheng expected, Luo Xiaoxi would break up with him once she found out the truth. However, he did not expect it to be this bad. Now, Luo Xiaoxi must have thought that her parents had a car accident because she insisted that she should be with him.
“Xiaoxi, I’ll explain it to you later, about why I hid the truth from you, but not now. Now, the most important thing is...”
“The most important thing is to break up with you.” Luo Xiaoxi interrupted Su Yicheng, her attitude colder than ever.
Su Yicheng hated the words “break up” more than ever, so he stared at Luo Xiaoxi and answered her word by word. “I don’t accept it.”
Luo Xiaoxi laughed. “What if I told you I did it with Qin Wei?”
Su Yicheng dangerously squinted. “Stop.”
“Last night I got drunk. You should know that he carried into the hotel if you watched the news.” Luo Xiaoxi said on her own. “Then we did it.”
Su Yicheng clenched his fist. “Luo Xiaoxi, stop!”
Luo Xiaoxi looked into Su Yicheng’s eyes. “Think about it. The things you’ve done to , Qin Wei did them to too. Don’t you find it disgusting? Well, I happen to find you disgusting too. So, let’s break up.”
Su Yicheng suddenly grabbed Luo Xiaoxi’s hand. “I won’t let you go even if we hate each other.”
“We don’t have any connection by law, and do you think you can stop only because you want to?” Luo Xiaoxi sneered. “And, this is not a request. I’m informing you that it’s finished between us.”
She turned around to avoid Su Yicheng seeing her tears.
Su Yicheng had to explain now. “Zhang i’s father used to help . After the leak, he begged to save his daughter’s na.”
Luo Xiaoxi wiped tears on her face. “So you let take the bla. You watched how Zhang i posted those things to hurt and protected her from ?” She twisted around, her eyes full of hate. “When my dad suddenly told to leave you, I blad him for being unreasonable. It turned out that he had known the truth and hid it from in case I did anything stupid. But you, you actually watched how we fall out because of you.”
“I wanted to explain it to your dad and then confess to you.”
“There’s no need.” Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng with a determined mind. “Go now, and don’t ever try to find .”
She never thought that one day she would say such things to Su Yicheng.
Also, she did not expect that even if in such a situation, her heart still ached because of those words.
Su Yicheng clutched Luo Xiaoxi’s hand. “Tomorrow, you’ll face not only your parents’ injuries, but also the employees and the board of directors of Luo Enterprise, and even the business and the share price of the company. You don’t have any experience, and I can help you keep the company in place. When everything settles, we’ll talk about other things.”
Luo Xiaoxi smiled. “If you’d said that when I called you during their surgery, I would’ve been happy. But now, do you think I still want your help?”
Su Yicheng’s pupils seed to have contracted. “Zhang i still told you.”
“Do you regret leaving your phone to Zhang i?” Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng sarcastically.
“Don’t talk like that.” Su Yicheng said, “We were in a cafe.”
“I couldn’t care less if you were in a bed.” Luo Xiaoxi tried hard to get away from him. “Su Yicheng, get off . Don’t show your face again!”
In the past, apart from Su Jianan, Su Yicheng did not know what else he was afraid of losing.
Then, when Su Jianan married Lu Boyan, he thought nothing in the world could make him fear anymore.
Now he knew, he also feared Luo Xiaoxi’s trying to let him go.
He pinned Luo Xiaoxi in his arms and latched onto her shoulders. He seed to be using all of his strength.
Repulsion, disgust, and all kinds of negative emotions welled up inside her. Luo Xiaoxi was struggling to break free, but suddenly, she heard Su Yicheng almost begging her.
“Xiaoxi, don’t leave .”
