Chapter 86: Still Like Him?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just then, Xing Linlin called. Cheng Xingyang paused and a trace of impatience flashed across his eyes. Ironically, he could not recall why he was with Xing Linlin. He only remembered that he had been drinking and was annoyed with Xing Shu. He could not help but whinge to Xing Linlin. His brain was a little slow after all the alcohol. He only felt that Xing Linlin was very gentle. In addition, she kept saying, “If I were Xing Shu, I definitely wouldn’t make you feel so aggrieved.” At that time, he felt that it was a blessing to be liked by him. Why did Xing Shu not cherish it?

“What’s the matter?” Cheng Xingyang picked up the phone and leaned against the door indifferently. His tone was no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Xing Linlin deliberated over Cheng Xingyang’s current mood before asking cautiously, “Xingyang, did you go look for Xing Shu?”

Cheng Xingyang’s heart sank again. He did not feel loved by Xing Shu, but he did from Xing Linlin. Xing Linlin was sensible and considerate. Even when she knew that he was unwilling to annul the engagement, she did not whine about it. She was always gentle and did not force anything. She was faithful to him. Compared to the promiscuous Xing Shu, Xing Linlin was simply perfect.

Cheng Xingyang instantly felt guilty and quickly denied it. “No, I’m at the

Cheng residence. Young Uncle sent for me.”

The apartment had poor sound insulation. Xing Shu and Cheng Lang heard Cheng Xingyang’s words clearly. Xing Shu raised her eyebrows and wrapped her fingers around Cheng Lang’s tie. “Young Uncle, why did you send for him?”

Cheng Xingyang’s flimsy lies continued. “Some work matters. Young Uncle is very serious in private.”

Xing Linlin’s heart burned when she heard this. She did not get the chance to know what Cheng Lang was like in private. Looking at his face up close was already blissful. She felt her mouth go dry. Every woman probably wanted to conquer Cheng Lang, but she did not even have the chance to speak to him now. Perhaps she could find a chance through Cheng Xingyang.

Xing Linlin asked, “Xingyang, are you having a private gathering with Mr. Cheng? Is he aware of Xing Shu’s incident?”

Cheng Xingyang was about to answer the first question when he heard the second question. He flared up. “Why would Young Uncle want to know about Xing Shu? They don’t even talk. At most, they meet at work. Young Uncle only cares about work. When has he ever paid any attention to a woman? Let alone an engaged woman like Xing Shu!”

Xing Linlin heaved a sigh of relief. Although she had deliberately leaked the news that Xing Shu wanted to seduce Cheng Lang to Feng Jian and edited the video, she still did not know why Xing Shu had appeared at the auction with Cheng Lang. This made her very uneasy. She was worried that she had lost control of things, but Cheng Xingyang’s answer had given her a vote of confidence. That was true. Cheng Lang had been a workaholic all these years. Other than Ms. Jin, there had been no other women close to him at all. Xing Shu was just lucky to have had the advantage of work.

The corners of Xing Linlin’s lips curled up, and her thoughts became more and more obvious. She wanted to see Cheng Lang—talk to him gently—and look into his eyes. Even if it was only for a few seconds, it was enough for her to reminisce. “Xingyang, have a good chat with Mr. Cheng. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

After ending the call, Cheng Xingyang felt that Xing Linlin was sensible. She did not address Cheng Lang as “Young Uncle” but obediently called him “Mr. Cheng”. She had always paid attention to the details and was very comfortable to get along with.

Cheng Xingyang raised his head and glanced at the tightly shut door in front of him. Disdain flashed across his eyes. He must be nuts to have come all this way for a woman like Xing Shu. Was Xing Shu worthy? His face darkened as he turned around and left without hesitation. Little did he know that his fiancée was sitting on the lap of the Young Uncle—in his words—who only knew how to work.

Xing Shu wrapped her arms around Cheng Lang’s neck and rested her head on his chest. Cheng Lang’s palm caressed her back. After a long time, he pinched her chin and forced her to look up. “Crying?” He did not know the history between Xing Shu and Cheng Xingyang. He only knew that the two of them were engaged. As for how loving they used to be, he was not interested. Xing Shu graduated summa cum laude from Beijing university. She was beautiful and competent. Such a person was more than worthy enough for Cheng Xingyang.

Cheng Lang asked, “Still like him?”

Xing Shu almost threw up in disgust at hearing this question!
