Hong Kong Nights of Passion

Chapter 30 Dr. Chi, you've never been in a relationship, have you?

Taking advantage of the moment when Chi Yige's body stiffened, Wen Jinnian quickly stepped back from his embrace, taking several steps backward.

She finally saw clearly that the person in front of her, who seemed sharp-tongued and indifferent, was actually warm-hearted beneath his cold exterior.

Wen Jinnian scoffed, "Dr. Chi, you've never been in a relationship, have you?"

Startled by being told what was going on, Chi Yige looked up at the woman opposite him.

The sea breeze, carrying a faint floral fragrance, wafted over her, lifting the hem of her blue skirt.

Wen Jinnian smiled radiantly, her clear almond eyes brimming with laughter. Her smile seemed innocent and naive, yet it concealed a cunning glint within, like a nimble butterfly that appeared soft and harmless but was actually covered in thorns.

He caught a fleeting glimpse of sadness in those almond-shaped eyes.

My heart tightened, and I felt a strange pang of heartache.

Meeting her gaze, he said, "Yes."

But suddenly he wanted to be in a relationship.

"I think you can do it."

Chi Yige's voice is deep and magnetic, and his first words are filled with a doting affection that makes your heart race.

He smiled slightly, revealing deep dimples, which Wen Jinian found to be almost devilishly handsome.

With her outstanding looks and a pair of captivating eyes, when you look at her, it seems like your deep affection could drown you, as if she were the only person left in the whole world.

Wen Jinian's heart skipped a beat; such a direct confession came too suddenly.

Seeing her face full of confusion and bewilderment, as if she had seen a ghost, Chi Yige couldn't help but chuckle.

He also felt like he was going crazy.

Perhaps it's because I've been reading too many novels lately, such as "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with You" and "The Secrets of Love," that my assistant brought me. Thanks to my photographic memory, I've memorized all the male protagonist's tricks.

“Dr. Chi, matters of the heart cannot be forced.” Wen Jinian lowered her eyes to avoid his burning gaze, her fingertips unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

They are like the moon and fireflies, separated by immeasurable light-years.

She cannot look up to those who are high above her.

Because my neck will feel sore.

Just as Chi Yige was about to speak, faint voices and footsteps suddenly came from the corner of the corridor.

A woman's voice rang out with a coquettish laugh: "Brother Jiang, maybe Niannian is having a great chat with Young Master Fu and the others? You must be hoping she finds a good match, right?"

"Shut up! It's none of your business what Nian Nian does!" The man's shout, accompanied by the sound of leather shoes hitting the wooden board, came from afar.

As soon as Wen Jinnian turned around, a figure swaying in the dim light was already close in front of her.

At the critical moment, a strong force suddenly came from his waist.

Chi Yige wrapped his long arm around her waist and suddenly pulled her into the shadow of the carved stone pillar behind him.

Their bodies pressed close together, their breaths mingling, the rustling of their clothes mingling with the approaching footsteps.

The hand on her waist suddenly tightened, and Wen Jinnian crashed into a familiar chest, the familiar scent carrying a sense of oppression.

Unlike before, this time Chi Yige's eyes were devoid of playfulness, and he completely enveloped her.

She subconsciously looked up and met those unfathomable eyes. The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.

Her ears flushed red, and she turned her head away uncomfortably.

Just then, Jiang Shu and Zhou Shiyi's voices came through.

Wen Jinnian looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Jiang Shu's gaze toward Zhou Shiyi was as cold as ice, with a hint of disgust in it.

She frowned instinctively.

"Zhou Shiyi, don't go too far with some things."

Jiang Shu's voice was chillingly cold, "If I find out you're plotting against Nian Nian again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Jiang Shu uttered harsh words and turned to walk down the corridor.

Wen Jinian shifted her body slightly, and Chi Yige gently pressed his index finger to her lips, signaling her to be quiet.

Zhou Shiyi quickly caught up and grabbed his wrist: "Brother Jiang! We grew up together, don't you understand my feelings? Besides, we're already engaged! Wen Jinnian is just an outsider!" Jiang Shu lowered his eyes and stared at the hand that was being grabbed, his aura suddenly dropping.

He abruptly shoved her away, and Zhou Shiyi stumbled and fell into the bushes, collapsing to the ground in a disheveled state.

Jiang Shu stood frozen in place, his gaze sharp as a knife.

"You think you're so affectionate?" Zhou Shiyi wiped away her tears, a crazy smile appearing in her eyes.

"What happened back then was a plan I made with my friends. That's why the love letter just happened to appear on the PPT. You clearly approved of it!"

With a "thud," Wen Jinnian's handbag slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

Chi Yige quickly caught him, only to see the person in his arms trembling all over, with red eyes and fingernails digging deeply into his shoulder and neck.

She stared intently at the person not far away, tears welling up in her eyes.

Jiang Shu lunged forward, squatted down, and grabbed Zhou Shiyi's chin, veins bulging: "When did I ever tell you to do this?! You said that if the video was made public, she would stay by my side forever..."

Jiang Shu chuckled to himself.

"I was blinded by greed and ruined her life! Now that she's back, we'll break off the engagement soon."

Jiang Shu abruptly released his grip on her chin, pulled a handkerchief from the pocket of his crisp suit, and slowly wiped his fingertips.

It looked like it had gotten dirty.

Then, he straightened his back and stood up, looking down at Zhou Shiyi who was slumped on the ground, his tone as cold as ice: "I advise you to be sensible. I hope you will take the initiative to annul the engagement."

Seeing his expressionless face, Zhou Shi felt inexplicably frightened.

How could she possibly give up on a relationship that had lasted for over a decade? Her lifelong dream was to marry Jiang Shu.

She quickly changed her tone: "Brother Jiang, our two families are engaged in a marriage alliance. If we break off the engagement, will you still be able to hold onto your position as CEO?"

Jiang Shu sneered, his eyes full of contempt: "We'll see. I think your Zhou family is in trouble."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Shiyi was clearly flustered.

Jiang Shu looked down at Zhou Shiyi on the ground and said, "You'll understand if you make a phone call back."

Jiang Shu turned to leave when her cell phone rang shrilly.

He glanced warily behind the pillar, took a few steps forward, and Wen Jinnian took out her phone from her handbag and hurriedly turned it off.

Jiang Shu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and was about to walk out when his phone rang.

He pressed the answer button: "Hello, Dad, I'm not with Niannian."

After a brief silence, he replied, "Okay, I'll go look for it," then hung up the phone and turned to leave without looking back.

Zhou Shiyi slumped to the ground, pounding the grass around her with her hands, her eyes filled with resentment and venom, gritting her teeth.

"You Jiang Shu, you Wen Jinnian, I won't let you get away with this!"

Several minutes passed until Zhou Shiyi's footsteps completely disappeared.

Wen Jinnian pushed Chi Yige away forcefully, then quickly moved to the side behind a pillar, slowly squatted down, and finally curled up into a ball with her knees in her arms.

The woman squatting on the ground trembled slightly, clearly trying her best to control her emotions, but her violently heaving shoulders still betrayed her vulnerability.

Although she tried to suppress her sobs, they still escaped through the gaps between her interlaced fingers, carrying an overwhelming sorrow.

Chi Yige hesitated for half a step forward, then stopped.

His usually composed eyes were now rippled with emotion, his gaze fixed on her slightly trembling shoulder.

The pounding of my heart made my ribs ache.

It seems that the incident four years ago was a knot in her heart.

"I want to be alone for a while, is that okay?"

The woman's voice was low and nasal, as if she had been crying.

She never looked up, and shrank even further into her curled-up body, clearly not wanting anyone to see her disheveled and helpless state.
