Chapter 110: I’m Sorry, Goodbye!
Ji Xiangyu opened his eyes, only to feel a severe headache. The feeling of a hangover was truly unbearable. He unconsciously opened his mouth and let out a groan: “Riiip~~~~”
Why did his head hurt so much? He reached out and pressed his temples, which were throbbing intensely.
Just as he was about to get up, he found himself being pressed down by something. He opened his eyes and saw a fair, tender hand. He jolted and immediately threw the hand off, scrambling to the floor in a flustered state.
Upon clearly seeing the person on the bed, he was even more astonished. How could this be?
Looking down at himself, he was wearing nothing but his underwear. What had happened?
He tried to recall, but his memory only went as far as drinking at the bar. He had no idea how he got home afterward.
Wait.
This didn’t seem like his home. This was the Situ Family’s place.
He.
“Yu, you’re awake. Does your head hurt?”
As Situ Jingyi said this, she sat up from the bed, wearing a slip dress. One of the straps had fallen off, revealing a large portion of her chest.
Ji Xiangyu turned his head away in annoyance and said, “Jingyi, you should put some clothes on first!”
Situ Jingyi smiled and said, “You were very passionate last night!”
Situ Jingyi’s remark completely stunned Ji Xiangyu. What did she mean he was very passionate last night? What exactly happened? Could it be that he and she had already… done that? Impossible, if that were the case, he would definitely know!
While Ji Xiangyu was still lost in his own vexation, the door was pushed open.
“My darling daughter, time to get up! Daddy will take you to school!!”
Situ Haonan froze the moment he saw Ji Xiangyu. Then, looking at the messy bed and Situ Jingyi’s state, he immediately roared in anger, “Xiangyu, come to my room!”
Immediately after, the door was slammed shut forcefully.
Ji Xiangyu looked helplessly at Situ Jingyi and asked, “How am I supposed to explain this to Uncle?”
Situ Jingyi walked from the bed to the floor, pulled Ji Xiangyu up, and intimately linked her arm with his, deliberately pressing close and saying, “Don’t worry, I’ve got everything covered!”
Ji Xiangyu forcefully pulled away from Situ Jingyi’s intimate touch. “Jingyi, I didn’t do anything to you last night, did I?”
Situ Jingyi’s face immediately fell as she asked, “Yu, so you’re that irresponsible!”
After speaking, she pointed to the hickey on her neck and said, “Do I even need to ask who did this?”
Ji Xiangyu looked at the hickey on Situ Jingyi’s neck, and his heart skipped a beat. How could this possibly be his doing? Even if it were, it should have been Qing Tian, not Situ Jingyi. Who could tell him what was going on?
Situ Jingyi walked angrily into the restroom, leaving Ji Xiangyu alone, lost in thought.
Situ Jingyi looked in the mirror and smiled sinisterly. With this, Ji Xiangyu would be hers alone, and the Ji Family would also be hers alone. The Ji’s Family would ultimately belong to the Situ Family!
Situ Haonan’s room:
Ji Xiangyu slowly pushed open the door to Situ Haonan’s room, standing stiffly with his hands and feet, waiting for Situ Haonan to speak.
Situ Haonan smoked a cigar, staring at Ji Xiangyu, making Ji Xiangyu’s heart pound.
After a long while, Ji Xiangyu finally said cautiously, “Uncle, I…”
Situ Haonan extinguished his cigar and said, “You don’t need to say anything. Regarding your marriage, we’ll discuss it properly between the two families once Grandfather returns to the country!”
Ji Xiangyu: “But…”
Situ Haonan didn’t let Ji Xiangyu speak. “There’s no ‘but.’ Uncle knows you’re both still young, but you’ve also grown up and have your own thoughts. Uncle isn’t going to hold today’s incident against you, but I absolutely must protect Jingyi’s reputation with all my might. If Jingyi is gossiped about by anyone outside, Uncle won’t let you off easily. Do you understand what Uncle means? If you have nothing else, stay for dinner. The butler will send you to school later.”
Ji Xiangyu wanted to continue explaining: “Uncle, I didn’t mean that, I~~~~~~~”
Situ Haonan walked to Ji Xiangyu’s side with his hands behind his back, and heavily slapped his shoulder with one hand, saying, “A man must take responsibility for his actions. Uncle has to go to the hotel; something has come up that needs handling. You go wash up and then eat!”
Ji Xiangyu looked at the departing Situ Haonan with a troubled expression. This time, even with ten mouths, he couldn’t explain. What should he do?
He could only explain things clearly to Situ Jingyi to reveal the truth!
Ji Xiangyu immediately went to Situ Jingyi’s room. He opened the door but didn’t see anyone. Thinking she might be in the living room, he checked there, but no one was present. He saw a servant of the Situ Family and asked, “Where is your young lady?”
The servant auntie, seeing that it was the Young Master of the Ji Family, said respectfully, “Miss went to school after breakfast. She also instructed the servants to make sure Young Master Ji eats before going to school!”
Ji Xiangyu looked at the servant’s strange gaze. If he stayed any longer in the Situ Family, wouldn’t the scandal spread like wildfire?
So, without a second thought, he went out and hailed a taxi back to the Ji Family Mansion!
He took out his mobile phone to check the time, but found a text message from Qing Tian. After opening it, he slammed on the brakes, swerving the car into a 360-degree turn and heading towards the school.
It was already ten in the morning, so by the time he reached the school, it would be close to dismissal. He sped up towards the school.
As soon as he arrived at the school, he saw Situ Jingyi and a few close sisters laughing and chatting in the distance.
Upon seeing Ji Xiangyu arrive, Situ Jingyi immediately ran over enthusiastically and intimately linked her arm with Ji Xiangyu’s, saying gently and charmingly, “Yu, why are you at school so early?”
Ji Xiangyu wanted to pull away from Situ Jingyi’s arm, but Situ Jingyi held on tightly, making it impossible to break free no matter how hard he tried. He was truly helpless!
Looking at the people around him, although their gazes were the same as usual, he felt guilty and couldn’t shake the feeling that everyone was looking at him strangely.
The next moment, he froze. Why was Qing Tian here?
His lips moved: “Qing Tian…”
Qing Tian’s expression was very bad, very cold. She looked at the t-shirt Ji Xiangyu was wearing, and an inexplicable anger flared up within her. Did he wear it after Situ Jingyi finished? Were the words “I love you” just a joke? Saying “I love you” to her while messing around with another woman, was that love?
Seeing Situ Jingyi’s proud and warning gaze, Qing Tian silently turned and left.
As she brushed past Ji Xiangyu, he grabbed her hand and said, “Qing Tian, it’s not like that…”
Qing Tian looked at Ji Xiangyu with complex eyes. Not like what? Wasn’t it “I love you”?
Some things were ultimately better left unsaid. Anyway, she was leaving this place soon, so it didn’t matter whether she explained or not. She didn’t want to hear that sentence: “I did something I’m sorry for, please forgive me!”
Qing Tian coldly shook off Ji Xiangyu’s hand and said, “Let’s break up! Goodbye!”
Hearing Qing Tian’s words, Ji Xiangyu’s mind exploded. Break up?
Breaking up right after getting together?
He quickly caught up to Qing Tian, grabbed her, and asked, “Why? Why break up?”
Qing Tian’s face was expressionless as she looked coldly at Ji Xiangyu and said, “I think there’s no need for us to continue. You and I are from two completely different worlds. I can’t change everything for you, and you can’t change everything for me. We were both wrong, terribly wrong. A relationship with no future doesn’t need to begin! I’m sorry, that’s all I have to say!”
Ji Xiangyu grabbed Qing Tian and asked painfully, “Don’t you feel even a little reluctant?”
