Chapter 192: The Confession of Love in the First Snow (1)

Almost instantly, the news was removed from all online media, as was all discussion on the matter.
With so many things going on in showbiz, the disappearance of one piece of gossip would naturally be followed by something even more explosive and eye-catching. It wouldn’t be very long before everyone forgot about this.
Endless Night also issued a perfunctory statement, deeming the whole thing a fabricated rumor and the picture a work of photoshop.
A wave of paid online users also moved into action to guide the emotions of the fans and shift their attention away.
The storm was thus appeased at an amazing speed, while the story behind the curtain remained hidden from everyone.
An Yibei snorted. “Good job, Young Master Sheng, silencing a story like that. However —” He moved in and grabbed Sheng Yize by his collar. “You better give me a good explanation for what you did to my little sister!”
He Jiayu and Chi Yuanfeng were sensible enough to slip away, leaving Sheng Yize and An Yibei alone in the room.
Despite the indifferent look in his eyes, Sheng Yize firmly held his ground. “I’m serious about my feelings for her.”
“Serious? Like that ‘serious’ kiss you forced on her? I know your Sheng family can single-handedly suppress that story like it’s nothing, but who will answer to the pain you caused my little sister in this process?” An Yibei pressed on aggressively with piercing eyes.
He knew too well what kind of girl An Xiaxia was. She was the beloved little one of the family, and it had been smooth sailing for her in both her studies and her emotional life growing up. She was completely guileless.
A girl like her might seem foolish to a lot of people, but that quality was what An Yibei wanted to protect.
The An family had built a safe harbor for An Xiaxia, which had been ruined by Sheng Yize!
“A relationship is a two-way thing and I have never forced Xiaxia into anything,” said Sheng Yize quietly. An Yibei was astonished by this claim and punched Sheng Yize in a fit of rage.
He didn’t force her. So, did it mean that Xiaxia actually liked him back?
Sheng Yize showed no intention to dodge and took the punch standing still. He then straightened up and lowered his head. “I apologize.”
The whole thing was indeed his fault.
An Yibei fought back his anger, yelling, “I don’t want to see something like this happen again!”
He stormed off down the stairs, pushed An Xiaxia’s door open, and bellowed, “An Xiaxia, you’re not getting a boyfriend!”
An Xiaxia jumped at this. She wasn’t in great condition to begin with and at An Yibei’s scolding, she bit her lip and burst into tears.
An Yibei became flustered at her crying and all his comforting words were to no avail.
“Don’t cry. Xiaxia, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you…”
Through her blurry sight, An Xiaxia felt someone gently wipe away her tears, crouched down in front of her. He said in resignation, “Stop crying. You really look hideous now.”
More tears came out of An Xiaxia at those words.
There seemed to be a sigh. Sheng Yize then took some tissues and wiped away her tears and snot with the gentlest of actions.
She really was a little fool — she actually considered agreeing to Sis Ke’s proposition…
An Yibei stood on the side and the look on his face changed a little at Sheng Yize’s reaction.
The girl indeed had a lot of tears. It was almost twenty minutes before An Xiaxia finally stopped crying.
Sheng Yize wiped away her tears. “I now see why they say women are made of water.”
An Xiaxia sniffled and glared at him.
“Go away! I don’t want to see you!”
