Chapter 19
Keep This Up And I Won’t Care About You Anymore!
“And then?”
“Yeah, what’s next?” Kang Youxi quickly asked. He happened to be abroad at the time of these events and missed out on them.
“After that, Ah Chen got word that she applied to study abroad and was already on her way overseas. He went after her like a madman. There was this huge traffic pileup at the time and guess what he did, he ordered a helicopter to take him to the airport.”
“And he still could not make it in time?”
“He made it. Ah Chen even asked her to stay.”
“And she didn’t want to?” there was no reason for a girl to not be moved by such a gesture! Why would she say no?
“Ah Chen wanted her to forget about the letter and stay by his side. She ended up saying that she hated Ah Chen and gave him a good scolding. She said she hated him more than anything, that she would hate him for the rest of her life. Ah Chen couldn’t even get her to stay after forcing a kiss on her! He stayed at the airport for a whole week and at last went back with his parents. It was a pretty big deal at the time.”
“That is so sad, didn’t expect Ah Chen to be so inexperienced at getting the girl,” Kang Youxi felt a bite of spite. Did Ah Chen even know how to properly chase a girl!?
Ouyang was left speechless. To have a girl you liked tell you that she would hate you for the rest of her life, surely not many people could stomach something like that, especially if it was the crown prince Mo Nianchen who had been put on a pedestal his entire life.
“You can’t fault him entirely either. Ever since he was a child, he wouldn’t need to lift a finger to have a bunch of girls forming a line to get to him. He’s never had to make a move himself.” Cheng Zheng brought up.
“That’s true. But if Ah Chen liked her then why did he want her to forget about the confession letter? That’s pretty much the equivalent of rejecting her confession isn’t it?”
“Who knows! You have to ask Ah Chen! I tried to pry the matter several times but he wouldn’t say anything no matter what! You’d better not ask, you’re going to catch some heat from him!”
At this moment, Mo Nianchen in his drunken stupor mumbled a few words, “Xia Xia… Xia Xia…”
“He’s drunk, what do we do!?”
“Help him up.”
“You do it.”
“No, you do it.”
“You go…”
They pushed the task on each other and none of them dared to approach him. Together they looked at Cheng Zheng…
The always gentle and composed Cheng Zheng did not have his usual temperament. “Screw helping him! Five years back when he got wasted, I nicely offered to take him back and that ended with me having a bottle smashed on my head. He shouted at me, ‘You are not Xia Xia, you have no right to touch me!’
They pictured the mental image in their minds and retorted.
Kang Youxi broke out in a cold sweat. “Then what do we do now?”
“Call Shengxia,” Cheng Zheng suggested.
Kang Youxi quickly withdrew himself. “I’m not going to touch his phone willy-nilly.”
“I’ll do it.” Ouyang picked up Mo Nianchen’s phone and turned it on. As he was moving to use his phone his finger suddenly paused. “There’s a pin code.”
“How are we supposed to guess the pin code!”
Ling Tian suggested, “0530, give it a try.”
Ouyang expressed his suspicions but gave it a try anyway, to his surprise the phone unlocked itself.
Kang Youxi was amazed. “It worked! You’re a genius Ah Zheng, what’s this pincode? Ah Chen’s birthday? That’s not right, isn’t his birthday in November?”
“Damn, this is my birthday!” Ouyang felt a chilling bite. “Don’t tell me Ah Chen has feelings for me! I can’t believe he’s that type of person! What do I do, I only like girls… Looks like I might have to hurt his feelings… Unless I try to switch up my tastes?”
Cheng Zheng ignored Ouyang, who was rambling by himself. After giving it some thought, he thought aloud, “Shengxia’s?”
Ling Tian nodded. “Hm.” since Shengxia shared the same birthday as Ouyang, he was able to remember it clearly.
Ouyang was left speechless and twitched the corner of his lips. “He’s in way too deep.” good thing it was unrelated to him, otherwise, he would not know what to do!
Ouyang quickly flipped through the contacts and was able to quickly find a Xia Xia. When he called the number he was answered with an out of service message.
That made no sense!
Cheng Zheng mentioned, “Look at the recent contacts. If they really did get married they must have exchanged numbers.”
Ouyang’s fingers quickly slid through the screen, it was not these ones. His finger suddenly halted—
“Is it this one? Bi… Bitch?”
They were all speechless.
Ouyang called the number to see what would happen, “Hello, is this Shengxia?”
“That’s me.”
It really was her!
“Uh, Ah Chen is drunk and is asking for you. Oh, so you’re coming? Ok. Right, Inheritance Bar royal box. Ok, see you—”
And so, the group left Mo Nianchen by himself and cleared the scene.
There was plenty of beer, the bed was made ready as well. It was just going to be the two of them left in the room, what happened next was all up to Ah Chen’s own device!
*
When Li Shengxia arrived, it was just Mo Nianchen left in the box.
Li Shengxia was a little confused, the one who called her just now was Mo Nianchen’s childhood friend. That should imply that there were several people just now, why was he by himself?
Li Shengxia very quickly understood what was going on.
She approached Mo Nianchen, and when she tried to reach for him she was flung away and nearly fell onto the floor.
The half-finished can of beer he crutched in his hand fell onto the floor as well.
He drunkenly shouted at her with his eyes still closed, “Don’t f**king touch me.”
Li Shengxia was left speechless and twitched her lips to the side. Even though his words had always carried venom in them, he always made a point to be civilized. She had pretty much never heard him curse. Maybe this was why they said that alcohol brought out your true nature, perhaps this was the real him.
“Hey! Mo Nianchen!”
“Keep this up and I won’t care about you anymore!”
She reached out to try to touch his shoulder. Again, he angrily pushed her off.
He was not sober yet!
She stretched her legs out to give him a few kicks, he pushed her off!
She fell onto the ground and felt aching pain. He, on the other hand, began snoring away without a care in the world.
Such arrogance, even after getting drunk!
She suddenly felt insulted and shouted complaints at him—
“Mo Nianchen, you stupid bastard! How is it fair when you can just choose to not care about me and leave me behind at the Civil Affairs Bureau! And now I’m supposed to come all the way here for you!”
No response.
Li Shengxia got up and looked at him, grinding her teeth. She looked at his drunken face and felt an urge swelling up in her.
“You play me for a fool and harass me at your whims and fancies. What sort of position do I have in your heart, why did I do to deserve being stepped all over by you like this?
“You bastard, you want me to forget about when I confessed to you, but when someone else confesses to you, you go out with them one after another at your fancy! Even some woman like Gina is good enough for you, you monster, in what way am I inferior to her, that you have to make me feel slighted like this?”
Even if he was not going to let her help or touch him, she had her methods to wake him up!
Li Shengxia shot him a look and grabbed a cup of chilled water beside her and splashed it at Mo Nianchen’s face without a second thought—
