Chapter 226: It’s better for us not to meet. It’s the better choice for both you and I. (2)

After she was done crying, Chen Junxing sent her to a hotel. After stopping his car, he looked at her red eyes and said, “I finally understood tonight. What you said at the start was right. It’s better for us not to meet. It’s the better choice for both you and I.”

As soon as they meet, she was bound to think of that man and feel sad. He too would feel bad as well. In this case, why should they continue torturing each other?

“Xin Siyue, I hope you’ll be able to let go soon.” Chen Junxing told her that solemnly again.

“I’m sorry, and thank you.” Xin Siyue said to him with relief, “You showed me that there are still people and things connected to him in this world. That alone is enough.”

Chen Junxing sighed. Then, he watched on as she headed into the hotel.

After that, he drove away from that suffocating place. He accelerated his car fiercely, watching car after car pass him by on the road. It felt like something was stuck in his chest!

Chen Junxing thought about the whole thing after he returned home, but the more he did, the angrier he felt. After searching on the internet for a long time, he concluded with much certainty that there was no way anyone could build the exact same design as him in this world.

That was his own idea and he poured all his own blood and sweat into it. That was his unique design in this entire world.

But why would she say that that man had designed it before?

Before?

Then where was it now?

Chen Junxing looked at the screen but he couldn’t figure anything out even after a long time. Leaning back on his chair, spinning his reclining office chair every so often, he began to become immersed in his thoughts.

As he was deep in thought, his dad that was usually busy during the day and rarely left work early actually came home early today. It was unprecedented.

“You’re back, dad?” Chen Junxing stood up.

Father Chen looked at him with a heavy gaze and said to him unhurriedly, “I heard you went to watch a performance today and even brought a woman back with you?”

Chen Junxing smiled and said, “Dad, don’t tell me you’ve got your eyes there too? How did come out so quickly?”

“Old Liao called me up to congratulate me on whether I’m going to be welcoming a daughter-in-law soon. Did you think I wouldn’t know after that?”

“No such thing, dad. Your daughter-in-law hasn’t even appeared yet!”

Father Chen eyed him down and asked again, “So, what is your relationship with her?”

Chen Junxing told him with a serious face, “There’s nothing between us.”

Even his father knew about his firm attitude, and he wasn’t sure whether he should be happy or worried to hear him respond so determinedly. He never does this, but for the first time, he said to his son with a voice filled with sincerity, “You’re already at that age. If you find yourself a decent girl that you really like, you should bring her back and show her to your mom and me.”

Chen Junxing didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. “When have I ever gotten mixed up with ‘indecent’ girls?”

His father glanced at him. “You know the history of your own affairs. I don’t even know whose genes you inherited. Even though your mother and I are so dedicated to each other…”

Chen Junxing looked at his father who was talking while walking towards the study at the same time, feeling a little helpless. He was clearly very clean and self-respecting, okay?! You need at least a little proof to accuse someone!

Seeing that he was left alone in the room again, he thought back to Xin Siyue’s suppressed pained cry from earlier, and he couldn’t help but feel troubled!

What kind of man is he that was worth her reacting like that?!

Even if he was curious, he didn’t have the opportunity to see her after that.

For an entire year, even running to several places and staying at his grandmother’s place for more than half a month, she never appeared. Chen Junxing didn’t feel good about asking his grandmother, worrying that she might overthink things. Moreover, he didn’t want to investigate her in private either. If Father Chen finds out, he might also overthink it.

Because it hasn’t just been a day or two that his elders have been urging him to bring a girlfriend home.

When he saw Xin Siyue again, it was on TV.
