Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 347

“Come on, Xi. It’s here. You’re so careless.” Ye Xi was limping while being supported by her colleagues.

“Come on, Xi. It’s here. You’re so careless.” Ye Xi was limping while being supported by her colleagues.

An accident happened at the art exhibition center today. The biggest piece of painting that was hanging in the air fell. Ye Xi dived in to save a guest, and the painting crashed on her foot. Her foot was swollen and bruised, there were no fractures.

The colleague reached out to open the door. Ye Xi saw Yanchen in front of a girl. Her heart dropped.

Song Yanchen… What is he doing in Florence?

“Let’s go in.” The colleague urged.

While Ye Xi turned around hopping on one foot, her colleague asked Yanchen and Tongrui who was inside. “Are you from China? May I know where the doctor is?”

Ye Xi’s heart was thumping hard as she never thought they would meet again in Florence after a year. She did not expect to see Yanchen hooking up with a girl. Her ego doesn’t allow her to stay any longer.

Yanchen stared at the familiar silhouette, “Xi?”

Ye Xi immediately hopped away when she heard Yanchen calling her. Yanchen strode towards her and pulled her into his arms.

“Why did you run? You wanted to hide away from me that much?”

“Let go of me! I don't know you!" Ye Xi waved her hands around to struggle away.

“Haven’t you had enough fun after being out there for so long?” Yanchen glared at her.

“It had nothing to do with you!” Ye Xi also glared at him with annoyance.

“Xi, this is?” the colleague who accompanied her asked.

"Stranger!"

"Boyfriend."

Both said at the same time.

The female colleague laughed awkwardly as the situation looked like a fight between couples. “Since your boyfriend is here, I will leave first.”

“Don’t go, Mi Lai! Wait…”

Yanchen held Ye Xi firmly in his arms, Ye Xi pushed him away and slapped him.

"Yanchen, I used to think that you are shameless but I found out that you’re a two-timing scumbag!”

"What are you talking about?"

Ye Xi asked mockingly, “If I’m your girlfriend, then who is this?"

Yanchen stared at her and laughed, “Jealous much?”

“You’re thinking too much. I have to go and don’t follow me!”

Ye Xi hopped away again but Yanchen gently pulled her back into his arms, "Xi, stop it."

"Let go of me!"

"What's wrong with your foot?" I was too excited to see her and I only realized that she’s injured.

"It's none of your business!"

Ye Xi wanted to slap Yanchen’s hands away, but she couldn’t move in his firm grasp. Yanchen carried her into the room while she punched and kicked him, "Yanchen! Put me down!"

Tongrui heard the commotion from inside the room. When Yanchen came in with Ye Xi in his arms, Ye Xi looked at her hostilely.

Yanchen said, "Xiao, please watch over her for me. Don't let her run away, I'll go get the doctor."

Tongrui nodded.

Ye Xi sneered. Talking to another woman with such an affectionate tone. What he did for love is just merely an act to the outsiders! The people of South City thought that Yanchen spoiled her with his love and loyalty. They must have never thought of Yanchen as a playboy.

Ye Xi wanted to leave but Tongrui stopped her.

“You’re the one who’s at a loss if you stop me from leaving. If I’m gone, you can continue to stay by Yanchen’s side. If I’m staying now, you won't have the opportunity to be with him. So, you better let me go now.”

Tongrui smiled and said, "There might be a little misunderstanding between us."

"Misunderstanding? Aren't you Yanchen's pillow friend?"

"Xi, shut up!"

Yanchen’s mood dropped when he heard such an absurd thing coming out of Ye Xi’s mouth.

“What? You’re not admitting it now?” Ye Xi was still furious.

Yanchen placed Ye Xi on the bed, “She’s my sister.”

Ye Xi was still trying to provoke him as she still couldn’t think straight, “When did Mr. Yanchen have a fetish for sisters? Is it nice to sleep with her?”

“Slap!” Yanchen slapped Ye Xi.

Both of them were stunned by the slap. Yanchen had never laid his hands on her no matter what she did.

Ye Xi smirked, “You finally exposed your true nature. You had always wanted to hit me, right?”

“Xi…” Yanchen clenched his hand in mid-air.

Feeling the tension in the air, Tongrui took the initiative to walk toward Ye Xi, “I just met Mr. Song not long ago, he said I’m his long-lost biological sister. Ms. Ye, you misunderstood our relationship. He did not cheat on you with me.”

Ye Xi’s cheek was burning with shame and remorse. She turned away, no longer looking at Yanchen. It’s her fault that she misunderstood their relationship, but Yanchen slapped her for it. It should be enough for him.

“I’ll go out for a moment,” Yanchen said as the doctor was here.

When the doctor was treating Ye Xi’s ankle, Ye Xi finally spoke, “I’m sorry for just now.”

Tongrui shook her head, "It's good that the misunderstanding is cleared. However, the misunderstanding between Mr. Song and you seems to…"

Ye Xi smiled bitterly, "I can't explain it to him."

Ye Xi took a few more glances at Tongrui, "You look a lot like Ms. Gu.”

"Ms. Gu? You mean, Mr. Song's mother?"

"Yes. Didn’t you confirm your relationship with him? Why are you still calling him Mr. Song?"

Tongrui said awkwardly, "This is too sudden and I’m still accepting the fact. I have only known Mr. Song for not even two days."

"All these years, Yanchen has been looking for you." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Seems like Yanchen is not lying. The family had been looking for her, the lost daughter.
