The villain heroine turned evil again after being saved by him

Chapter 119 Xi Ruan's Trap

The afternoon sun poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the tall backs of the chairs cast a slight shadow over the two of them.

On the soft seat, the young man lowered his eyebrows and stared at the girl in his arms without shifting his gaze. He put one hand on her shoulders and the other on her waist, and the action was natural as if he had done it hundreds of times. The girl in front of him sat sideways on his lap, hugged his neck, and her watery eyes were filled with stars, as if she could only hold him at this moment.

Cheng Feng, who had been single since birth, looked at the young couple, their intimacy and love, his face turned red, and he quietly closed the door and went out.

At the moment when the door was closed, Cheng Feng was still sighing: It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others! Some people have beautiful girlfriends at a young age! And what about him!? He's almost 30 years old! He hasn't even touched a girl's hand! God must be jealous of his talent!

God is jealous of talented people!!!

The computer speakers were still playing the sounds of everyone's discussion in the meeting. As the door closed, Jiang Ling suddenly came back to his senses and raised his hand to loosen Xi Ruan's arms around him.

"How did you know I was here?" he asked in a deep voice, but there was no blame in his tone.

"I guessed~" the girl said briskly, pretending not to care about his resistance with her eyes bent, and leaned her head on his shoulder again, "Besides, I came here to discuss the contract, so it won't hurt to come and take a look. If you're not here, I'll go home to find you."

She blinked her watery eyes and gently shook her dangling legs, her heart and eyes filled with the young man in front of her.

Jiang Lingsi felt his whole body stiffen because of the person in his arms, and he didn't even know where to put his hands.

He glanced at the girl's fair profile and saw that she acted as if nothing had happened and was even more intimate with him than before, which gave him a headache.

"Get up first, don't sit on my lap."

"But I'm tired of walking and want to sit for a while." Xi Ruan forced herself to shamelessly lean on him and nervously grabbed his clothes.

In fact, she was very afraid that Jiang Lingsi would push her down directly, but she wanted to confirm his true attitude towards her and to what extent he could accept the distance between them. After all, everything before was her own speculation.

She stared at Jiang Lingsi closely, and when she saw that the young man showed no disgust, her heart finally settled down.

Jiang Lingsi didn't know what Xi Ruan meant by this, and he didn't dare to be too rude to her. He could only look at the opposite side helplessly, raised his chin slightly and indicated, "If you are tired, sit on the sofa."

Xi Ruan turned her head to take a look, then shook her head, "No, it's too far over there, I want to be closer to you."

After saying that, the little girl smiled gently, and then looked at him intently, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

Jiang Lingsi was speechless for a moment. His deep eyes carefully swept over the girl on his body, and his fingers unconsciously clenched the armrest.

"I'll have someone bring a chair over. You go down first."

"Then I'll go down when the chair comes."

"Stop making trouble and get off."

"Just sit down again, I really walked for a long time."

The little girl tugged at his clothes pitifully, her deer eyes so watery that it was impossible to refuse her.

If possible, Jiang Lingsi would like to put her on his legs or hang her on his body, but unfortunately this is just his delusion.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his dark phoenix eyes had regained their usual sharpness.

"Xi Ruan." He called her coldly, as if he could no longer bear it, and said cruel words, "Why don't you understand?! I said we can't..."

"I understand!" Xi Ruan interrupted him loudly, raised her head and looked at him straight.

Jiang Lingsi was stunned by her expressionless look, but his heart sank when he met her eyes.

He couldn't describe what kind of look that was.

Those clear deer eyes were so calm that they seemed unable to stir up any waves. They were filled with unprecedented seriousness and solemnity. However, there was a deep undercurrent in his eyes, as if sadness was slowly surging, so broken that he could no longer say the next words.

Jiang Lingsi understood that no matter whether she really liked him or not, she was the one who was hurt again and again.

It was she who mustered up the courage to confess her love to him on the day of his victory, but he acted stupid and broke the contract and rejected her;

It was she who cried and collapsed at his doorstep, and when she woke up and asked for confirmation, she was ruthlessly rejected again;

Even now, it was still her who put aside everything that had happened before and took the initiative to come to him.

He has his pride, and so does she.

However, when he thought of his brother and the huge debt he was leaving behind, he couldn't say "I love you" no matter what.

He couldn't pull her into his quagmire.

Jiang Lingsi felt like there was something stuck in his throat at this moment, and his heart was pierced by her eyes, making him feel sour and embarrassed.

However, before he could say anything, he saw the little girl's eyes suddenly changed, and she leaned into his arms again with curved eyebrows, and her legs shook again, as if the moment he saw just now was just an illusion.

"Actually, I've figured it out these past two days, and I agree with what you said last time." Xi Ruan lowered her head and looked at her fingers.

“Like you said, I really haven’t been around many boys, so I may not be able to differentiate between love and friendship.

Whether it was when I was a child or when I grew up, you always protected me. I do have a sense of gratitude in my feelings for you. You were so good to me and always by my side. I got used to your presence, and over time I may have mistakenly thought that I liked you."

Xi Ruan spoke softly, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

Jiang Lingsi felt his heart suddenly jump, and his chest seemed to be stabbed by an ice cone, and the blood in his body was stagnant and even flowing backwards.

Xi Ruan seemed to be unaware of it, she looked up at the boy's smooth and neat jawline, and said in a relaxed tone: "So, Jiang Xiaoshu, let's just be friends first!

As promised when we were young, we will always be best friends and never separate, okay? "

After saying that, Xi Ruan raised one hand, stretched out her little finger and held it in front of Jiang Lingsi's eyes, smiled brightly, and said, "Hook~"

Jiang Lingsi's long eyelashes trembled, and his thick black eyelashes slowly drew an arc. He silently looked at the girl's slender and slightly curved fingers.

This feels fucked up.

This was clearly one of the results he expected, but when he actually heard her say this, he was not happy at all, and even felt like he was being easily abandoned.

Jiang Lingsi couldn't help but laugh at himself.

As expected, things change. He has rejected countless confessions of love from others, including hers, and now it is finally time for him to get his retribution.

But who can I blame for what I did?

He snorted with a sneer, his eyes curved in sarcasm, and then he nonchalantly hooked her fingers, his dark eyes meeting hers, "Yeah, pinky promise."

Xi Ruan opened her pink lips, shook her hands again and again, and said in a sweet voice: "Pin, hang yourself, and don't change for a hundred years. We will never separate."

She smiled and sang a childish nursery rhyme, and with her other hand she grabbed his thumb and stamped it with his firmly.

"Okay! It's sealed! Whoever goes back on his word is a dog!" Xi Ruan clapped his hands, his eyes sparkling.

Jiang Lingsi curled his lips and smiled, forcing himself to return to his usual self, and teased: "What's the point of being a puppy? Whoever regrets is a bun."

As expected, Xi Ruan immediately puffed up her face when she heard it, and tugged at his clothes fiercely, "Jiang Xiaoshu! What do you mean!? Are you saying that I am worse than a puppy!?"

"Oh - so you know you're a jerk." Jiang Lingsi moved closer to her, admired her cute expression, pinched her cheek out of habit, and then patted her back, "Alright, get up quickly, or someone will come in and see you and misunderstand you."

Jiang Lingsi thought that now that everything was clear, she should finally go down this time. However, the little girl in his arms blinked innocently and puzzledly, then put her arms around his waist and asked in confusion: "But we are best friends, why should I go down?"

Jiang Lingsi widened his eyes in shock: "???"

What the hell?! You should go down just because we are friends!

Xi Ruan didn't care what Jiang Lingsi thought, and continued, "Haven't we always been like this?

And you also said that we were very close when we were young.

Before, you treated me as a friend, hugged and kissed me, and let me sleep in your arms. Now we have made peace with each other again, and our relationship has taken a step further. I just wanted to sit on your lap, but you are so stingy that you won't let me?"

"..."

Jiang Lingsi stared at Xi Ruan, who looked confused but confident, and was speechless for a moment, and couldn't...refute? ?

Because once he refutes her, it would be equivalent to asking him to admit that he treats her like that because he likes her.

Jiang Lingsi had a splitting headache. At this moment, he actually wanted to go to a well-known Q&A community to ask a question:

Urgent! What should I do if the relationship between him and the little girl falls into a vicious circle because of his misleading?

Xi Ruan, who was nestled in his arms, looked at Jiang Lingsi's closed eyes and caressing his forehead, lowered his head slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The system that has been watching silently: It is worthy of being the mission target!!!
