What was even more frightening than being instantly decapitated was to have ones head held under a guillotine, not knowing when the blade would fall. It was the faint glimr of hope that the blade might not fall in the end that stoked ones deepest fears.
The more she thought about it, the more afraid she beca. She didnt even notice the cold sweat drenching her back. She anxiously stood up and withdrew her trembling hand from Li Xiaoxings grasp.
The resulting confused look on Li Xiaoxings face shook her out of her daze, and she quickly added, Sorry, I need to use the washroom for a mont.
Ignoring the commotion around her and Li Xiaoxings worried shouting, Ji Xinxin lifted her skirt and rushed out of the dining room. She headed to an open place and took a deep breath to soothe her anxiety.
Calm down, calm down
How could I possibly calm down?!
Ji Xinxin slamd the tal board beside her to vent her emotions. Her movent was so forceful that her palm reddened in pain, but it did little to assuage her anxiety.
Fear and fury coalesced into a raging tsunami that threatened to drown her.
It took her many years of work to make her way up the social ladder with grace and composure, but Ji Fanyin was threatening to undo her work and push her back into the abyss she had climbed out of.
She subconsciously reached for her phone, wanting to call Ji Fanyin and confront her about why she didnt reveal the truth to Li Xiaoxing. She wanted to holler at the latter for making a fool out of her.
But as she reached for her waist, she realized that the gown she wore allowed no space for her phone. Her courage instantaneously deflated. She lost all strength and huddled up into a squatting position. She could feel her own eyes tearing up.
I cant win. I cant win against that person.
I was only able to win over big sis with my tricks because shes soft-hearted.
But the other Ji Fanyin has a heart as cold as stone. She has no intention of leaving any breathing space for .
I thought that I had played every move well, but she could see through everything.
How could there be such a terrifying person in the world?
Im scared
The sound of a wheelchair gradually approached. Then, she heard Li Xiaoxings voice.
Xinxin, he called out. Are you crying because you arent willing to be with ?
Ji Xinxin buried her head into her knees and imrsed herself in her tears. She was too emotionally crushed to gather any strength to deal with Li Xiaoxing.
Li Xiaoxing asked on, Xinxin, are you going to reject ?
Ji Xinxin continued to ignore him.
An eternity seed to have passed before she heard a long sigh from him.
I understand now. His voice was still as placid as ever, as if nothing in the world could hope to faze him, Lets return to the hotel. Well talk tomorrow.
