Chapter 187: Hitting Hard on His Back l
Lin Xinxin’s eyes widened!
Chai Xiyang, Hai Xiaotang, and Qiao Ning, who were outside the door, all froze in place.
It was because of Dongfang Yu’s reaction, his sudden, tense roar.
Yes, tense. Everyone could clearly see the tension.
Even Dongfang Yu himself was taken aback, not understanding why he reacted so dramatically just now.
He just saw someone bump into a wall, then, subconsciously…got tense.
But he was sure that he wasn’t anxious about Lin Xinxin.
But why, why did he suddenly have such a feeling…
“President…” Lin Xinxin suddenly cried out in pain, her aggrieved eyes fixing on him.
As if, she had finally found someone to rely on, found a bit of solace.
Dongfang Yu snapped back to reality, let her go, and anxiously turned his head to look at Hai Xiaotang at the door!
“Qiao Ning, let’s go,” said Hai Xiaotang, her face emotionless as if the just happened events did not affect her at all.
She grabbed Qiao Ning and went, not wanting to stay in this place any longer.
Dongfang Yu, Lin Xinxin, Chai Xiyang, she didn’t want to see any of them again.
Qiao Ning left with her, showing no emotion on his face.
The two of them left quickly, with Dongfang Yu following not too far behind.
Hai Xiaotang’s wrist was firmly seized!
“Hai Xiaotang, there’s nothing going on between Lin Xinxin and me!” he blurted out.
Hai Xiaotang simply looked at him, her eyes clear and steady. “Let go.”
Dongfang Yu explained in a low voice, “There’s nothing between her and me, believe me!”
“I believe you. Can you let go now?” Hai Xiaotang’s speech was as steady as water, making Dongfang Yu’s heart sink.
She didn’t even care how he was with Lin Xinxin…
His explanation seemed pointless, overly self-conscious.
Dongfang Yu felt somehow upset, but he didn’t let go. Instead, he gripped her even more tightly.
Then he pulled Hai Xiaotang along, “I will take you home!”
Hai Xiaotang began to struggle, “No, let go of me!”
“I will take you home!” Dongfang Yu insisted, dragging her along.
His grip was so strong that Hai Xiaotang couldn’t resist.
Suddenly, Hai Xiaotang slammed her backpack into his back.
“Dongfang Yu, enough! Stay away from me!” Hai Xiaotang yelled in anger.
The man stopped in his tracks, his back stiffening.
Hai Xiaotang stared at the back of his head, her voice cold, “Could you please stop bothering me, I really don’t want to see you!”
After saying this, she forcefully pulled herself free and stormed off.
Qiao Ning hurried to catch up, not daring to say a word.
Dongfang Yu stood in place for a long time, his face so gloomy that no one dared approach him.
Hai Xiaotang walked out of the hospital in silence, only stopping when she reached the main street.
“Xiaotang, shall we go and have something to eat?” Qiao Ning asked with a smile.
Hai Xiaotang looked at her and nodded lightly.
The two of them found a quiet restaurant to enjoy some dim sum.
Qiao Ning happily ate a piece of cake and said, “Desserts are the best food in this world. Eating them always makes you feel better.”
Hai Xiaotang smiled, “Then you should eat more, order some more.”
“No need, we won’t be able to finish all of that. You should eat more too, eat away your worries!” Qiao Ning encouraged her.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t have much of an appetite, but she obediently finished her food quickly.
A piece of strawberry cake had quickly made its way to her stomach.
Qiao Ning reached for a napkin, wiping the corners of her mouth, and asked with a smile, “How do you feel, don’t you feel better now that you’ve eaten something?”
