"Brother Wu steel, Brother Ao suddenly brought a woman here. She said that she's a girlfriend, do you know her?" Shen Mengdia pointed at Chen Xi with a tone full of pride.
Han Jingtian followed the direction of Shen Mengdia's finger and looked over. What he saw was the girl that he had longed for these past few days. Chen Xi just stood there by herself, wearing a beautiful dress. Her makeup was exquisite, but it was incredibly far away.
He had never seen Chen Xi like this before. She was beautiful, but a little prickly. He had always thought that Chen Xi was very proud of him. She had not agreed to his request for so long because he was not outstanding. However, there was clearly a happy time before this, so why did she suddenly become like this?
Han Jingtian looked at his brother again and understood. Yeah, he's a young master who lives like a prince, how can he compare to the CEO of the Aoshi Group who has power and influence.
"Of course, we've already eaten a few times." Han Jingtian looked at Chen Xi and said with an unnatural smile.
They had eaten a few times, but it was just the two of them.
He couldn't see Chen Xi's expression clearly, and he wasn't sure if Chen Xi was laughing at him in her heart, calling him stupid. In the past few days, he hadn't been able to see through Chen Xi's other side, causing him to be at a loss on what to do under such circumstances.
"I don't believe it, you guys are too annoying!" Shen Mengdia pushed Han Jingtian away and ran inside.
Han Jingtian staggered a few steps before he managed to stabilize his body.
Shen Mengjie was a smart person. Naturally, she could tell that the atmosphere was a bit different. However, her heart was as meticulous as she was. The next second, Shen Mengjie gently held Chen Xi's arm and smiled at Han Aotian.
"Brother Aotian, I wonder if I can borrow your girlfriend for a while? "Although it's my first time seeing her, I feel that I'm on good terms with her." Shen Mengjie was so cultured that even people she had never seen before were so protective of her sister.
"Of course." Han Aotian nodded slightly.
Shen Mengjie pulled Chen Xi aside and headed to a place with fewer people.
"No matter what you encounter, you have to smile. There's nothing you can't pass. You should give yourself more strength." Shen Mengjie said softly.
Chen Xi was stunned. She turned her head to look at Shen Mengjie.
This person was truly a lady from a noble family. Her entire demeanor was different. Just like Han Jingtian, she gave off a very comfortable feeling.
No wonder Han Aotian hid it in his heart for so long. It turned out that there had always been that girl in his heart.
Han Jingtian stared at Chen Xi's back for a long time, unable to withdraw his gaze. But in the next second, his line of sight was blocked by Han Aotian, who was a bit taller than him.
Han Jingtian stared at his big brother. It was the first time in so many years that he had resisted so head on.
"Has the wings really hardened?" Han Aotian said coldly. His entire body was emitting a powerful aura, even though he wasn't angry.
"When did Chen Chen become your girlfriend?" Han Jingtian said in disbelief. He knew that Chen Xi was definitely not the kind of woman who would open her eyes to money and keep a low profile at school.
As for the women who used to be with Han Aotian, they all thought that they had climbed up the big tree called Aoshi Group, and every day, they would attract attention. Besides, Han Aotian had been photographed going to hotels with different women every day. Even if he were to say that Chen Xi was his girlfriend today, he wouldn't believe it even if he beat Han Jingtian to death.
Listening to Wu Tie calling Chen Xi to "Morning", Han Aotian became even angrier.
"Han Jingtian, you better think carefully! Chen Xi is my woman, only when I say no can she truly leave. But even if she isn't, you'd better think about whether she's someone you can touch. " Han Aotian's tone was even colder.
The age difference between him and Han Jingtian was not big, but Han Jingtian had always liked to hide behind him since he was young. He was also used to hiding in front of him, but he never would have thought that one day, he would confront him because of a woman.
"Then what are you doing these days? Why are you treating her like this?" Han Jingtian waved his fist in anger.
"Han Jingtian!" Han Aotian was furious. He stopped holding back Han Jingtian, grabbed his collar and pulled him towards himself, "My woman, it's not up to you to take pity on her. No matter what happens to her, it's her own choice! Now, are you going to make a move against your brother for a woman? "
Han Jingtian glared at Han Aotian fiercely. The two brothers were bleeding the same amount of blood, so when they were angry, they were equally strong. Han Jingtian remembered that they had fought only once since they were young. It was all because he was disobedient. All along, his brother had allowed him to do whatever he wanted. He had gotten used to it. But this time, perhaps Eldest Brother was right. He didn't have the qualifications to care.
Han Aotian's anger gradually disappeared and was replaced with dejection. Han Jingtian loosened his fist and lowered his head like a small beast licking a wound.
"Big brother, I'll listen to you. ChenChen, can you give it back to me?" Han Jingtian's voice was so soft that if one didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't be able to hear it.
Han Aotian couldn't help but take a few deep breaths in anger.
It was really Chen Xi.
This was his first time seeing his younger brother like this.
"Raise your head!" Han Aotian growled.
Han Jingtian raised his head and looked at Han Aotian's injured and pleading eyes. He wasn't joking, he was seriously begging himself.
"Big Brother, Chen Chen, she … I will treat her very well and not let her be sad. I really, really like her." As Han Jingtian spoke, his eyes turned red.
The first time he saw Chen Xi, she was brilliant in the debate competition. Han Jingtian, who had always been one of them, couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. But Chen Xi had her reasons, and when she rejected his opinions one by one, he would never be able to take his heart back.
The following days, she was seen from afar day by day. She appeared in the dining room beside the school and helped out the breakfast shop. Because of Chen Xi's appearance, he spent less and less time eating at home. But Chen Xi never seemed to notice him. She looked at him as if he were no different from other people. He began to feel depressed.
It wasn't until that day when they met her brother that they got to know each other better.
So it turned out that she, who had always been so arrogant and confident, actually had many sad things to say. She had thought that Chen Xi's hesitation was because he wasn't outstanding. It turned out that it was because of her elder brother. She was clearly willing to give anything to make her happy, but she couldn't win against her big brother who didn't do anything.
Han Aotian's taut strings finally couldn't bear the pressure and broke.
"Han Jingtian, no matter what, she is still my woman. You can only treat her as your sister-in-law, but if you don't want to, you can also treat her as a stranger."
Actually, he didn't want his own little brother to be with a woman who had signed a indenture contract with him. In other words, he didn't want Chen Xi to be with anyone, not even his little brother.
After Han Aotian finished, he turned around and left.
"Chen Xi, do you like Brother Aotian?" Shen Mengjie asked with a smile.
"What?" Chen Xi was frightened by this question and hurriedly raised her head. "I-I-I-don't misunderstand. I won't fight with you for it."
Shen Mengjie shook her head helplessly and held Chen Xi's hand, saying gently, "Don't misunderstand. Brother Aotian and I only have the feelings for him as brothers. I just wanted to say, Chen Xi, you're still young. If you don't really like her, then don't go against your own heart for any reason. "
Chen Xi looked at Shen Mengjie's pure eyes and gradually calmed down. However, replacing them was indeed full of sorrow. They who were born without worry for the future, how could they understand her humble life for money? It wasn't fair when it came to people.
"Some people can only follow their own hearts without pressure. "But I can't. I have many things that I can't take care of." Chen Xi gently retracted her hand, "Miss Shen, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." After Chen Xi finished speaking, she put on her mask as usual and left coldly.
As a member of a wealthy family, the less she came into contact with, the better.
Chen Xi couldn't stand the atmosphere and didn't want to laugh with Han Aotian anymore. She went alone to the back garden of the venue and found a dark corner.
Just as he wanted to sit down and be alone, fate often failed him.
"Why did you come out? Isn't that the world you yearn for? " Han Jingtian's voice had never been so stiff before.
Chen Xi froze on the spot, unable to move. Han Jingtian was like a thorn in her heart. It was painful, but at the same time, it felt extremely comfortable.
"Why aren't you talking? Is this the reason why you've been so cold to me these past few days, or rather, how you suddenly become hot and cold to me? " Han Jingtian walked in front of Chen Xi and said.
He clearly wanted to get angry, but he couldn't do anything to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi raised her head. In the darkness, Chen Xi's eyes were especially bright, making Han Jingtian's heart soften.
"Han Jingtian, just pretend that you never met me before." Chen Xi said heartlessly.
It was like a bolt out of the blue. Han Jingtian had never felt so powerless before. He couldn't even control himself when he was angry, so he could only smile helplessly.
"Really …" Han Jingtian couldn't hold it in anymore and raised his hand.
Chen Xi closed her eyes. If she wanted to say she was going to be beaten up, she would bear with it. She was willing to be beaten up by Han Jingtian. However, in the next second, Han Jingtian's warm palm landed on Chen Xi's head and gently caressed her hair.
Chen Xi's nose was extremely sore, and her tears fell without any warning.
"You are so heartless. I should hate you, but what should I do? Chenchen, I can't let you go." I'm afraid you're not happy. I'm afraid you're not happy. I wanted to give you the best in the whole world, but I didn't expect that what you wanted was never the whole world. " Han Jingtian started to choke as he spoke.
Chen Xi cried even harder. Her whole body was shaking, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
"Is it because we haven't met or because it's better if we don't know each other?" You won't be in such a difficult situation right now. It's me who is making it difficult for you. " Han Jingtian sighed. He wanted to wipe Chen Xi's tears away, but he remembered Han Aotian's words.
He didn't have the qualifications.
"No, it's not like that …" Chen Xi said in a sobbing tone, breaking into tears, "I really want to be together with you. Sorry, it was my fault, I was too selfish. I knew it, I couldn't be together, but I couldn't help it …" "You have always been so gentle and patient with me. Han Jingtian, it's me, I'm not worthy of you."
