Chapter 132: His promise and her vulnerability

Now, in Gong Ding Chen’s eyes, Yan Xi is like a rose with thorns. She was beautiful and dazzling, but she wouldn’t talk to him on friendly terms.

Gong Ding Chen himself thought that he had sincerely invited her to have dinner together this time. He prepared a special gift for Yan Xi, at the same time it was also his promise to her – a ten carats princess diamond ring.

Gong Ding Chen kept saying that he was different from Gong Yun Ting, but they were very similar in many aspects, such as they would sometimes have this superficial thinking that women would be moved by valuable jewelry, and it could also win a woman’s heart easily.

At this time, giving her this ring made him look gentle and romantic, even his expression looked the same.

This made Yan Xi feel nauseated.

The diamond looked even more dazzling to the eyes under the shine of the lights. It was bright and gleaming, but the glow made Yan Xi’s eyes hurt.

It also made her heart ache.

Her daydreams and yearning from before were presented by him with both hands. Her longing that she fantasized previously had also become obtainable at this moment.

It was the person who was eating with her that made her nauseated.

Naturally, Yan Xi wouldn’t say that. She seemed to have accidentally learned the technique to deal with Gong Ding Chen. To act neither too close nor too distant, to let him glimpse the vulnerability and pain inside her that was covered by her thorns. So when she was talking to him, she needed to have a lot of awareness. Like a rose with thorns, she needed to prick him but she also should not always be spiky towards him.

Before this, Gong Ding Chen could make her feel pain, because she loved him. Now she wanted Gong Ding Chen to have a taste of her past pain as well, so she needed to make sure he loved her.

Yan Xi then “polished her skills” with the acting teacher, and the results were obvious.

She then used the acting techniques that she learned after that on Gong Ding Chen.

Her motions paused first, then she acted like she didn’t stand steadily. Her fragile body swayed slightly. Gong Ding Chen quickly supported her by hugging her into his embrace.

Yan Xi was extremely repulsive towards Gong Ding Chen’s touch, but she couldn’t express her real emotions. She clearly hated Gong Ding Chen’s touch, but at the moment when she was embraced by Gong Ding Chen, her tears actually flowed down without her knowing.

Perhaps due to the Hermes perfume that he always used on his body, it awakened part of her unpleasant memory at that moment. Yan Xi symbolically struggled for a bit, then she leaned against Gong Ding Chen’s embrace powerlessly. Her voice also became tired and weak: “I feel unwell, send me back…”

It was rare for her to be this proactive, of course Gong Ding Chen would be happy to do that. He kept the ring and hugged Yan Xi out of the restaurant. He put her in the passenger seat, and was even being considerate by helping her to put on the seatbelt.

This time, when he reached Yan Xi’s suburban villa again, Gong Ding Chen was feeling blissful.

Rarely did Yan Xi not reject him and even proactively let him send her home.

Gong Ding Chen sent Yan Xi back into the bedroom and poured a glass of hot water for her. When he was looking for the kettle in the kitchen, Gong Ding Chen even found the oatmeal that he gave her in the cupboard. Half of it was already eaten. He couldn’t help but smile.

“You really don’t want to see the doctor?” Gong Ding Chen passed the hot water to Yan Xi: “I can call Dr. Chen right now.”

“It’s my old illness, I’ll be fine after taking two pills of painkillers.” Yan Xi did have headaches often, but she chose to show it to Gong Ding Chen right now. It was to display her vulnerability at this suitable time to spark Gong Ding Chen’s protectiveness.

After Yan Xi took the pills, she told Gong Ding Chen: “I’ll be fine after sleeping, thank you for sending me back home. It’s quite late now, you should go.”

She didn’t plan to keep him here.

“I’ll stay here to take care of you.” Gong Ding Chen sat beside her bed instead and looked at her: “I’m worried about you.”

Yan Xi said faintly: “I am not used to it.”

“I’m used to taking care of myself.” Yan Xi leaned against the bed wearily as she removed the jewelry on her body. Firstly, it was her earrings, then her necklace, next her watch.

It wasn’t any branded watch, it was just a small brand that Yan Xi endorsed. But the design was pretty and suitable for women. Its pricing was more than one thousand dollars, but this thin wrist watch was sold out in the shelves at one point because of Yan Xi’s endorsement.

When she took off the watch, Yan Xi’s scar that was visible on her wrist was revealed.
