Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 89 Forget it, stop chasing me
Sang Yu lowered his eyelids and stared unfocused at a certain petal falling on the ground. His eyes were empty and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xi Jinbai saw that she was in a daze, so he stopped his hand to bring her back to her senses.

Sang Yu raised his head slightly and moved his eyes to his face. There was no fluctuation in his eyes and he spoke slowly: "Xi Jinbai, forget it. Stop chasing him."

Xi Jinbai's eyes were deep and dark, he said nothing and did not let go, holding her in an almost paranoid manner.

Sang Yu sighed softly, and then asked, "Aren't you tired?"

She paused for a moment, then spoke: "You are obviously so busy at work, but you still find time to send me messages and call me. You finally have a rest and have to fly to Hong Kong Island. Aren't you tired?"

"Are you worried about being in a different place?" Xi Jinbai's frown relaxed, trying to calm her worries as much as possible, "I really can't stay in Hong Kong Island often, but I can guarantee that all my free time will be spent with you. Yes, no matter where I go, I will tell you that your mobile phone will be on 24 hours a day and you will not be able to find anyone."

This may be doubtful when it comes from other people's mouths, but Xi Jinbai always means what he says and does what he says.

But Sang Yu still shook his head and followed his words and asked: "What about the future? I will not leave Hong Kong Island."

Just as Xi Jinbai was about to answer, she added: "Moreover, what you need is a virtuous wife who can walk side by side with you, or who is knowledgeable and sensible. Obviously, I am neither of these two."

"This is your definition. It's up to me to decide what kind of partner I want." Xi Jinbai had enough confidence to say this, "The Xi family doesn't need to marry to stabilize their status, and I don't need anyone who is well-matched." , a well-educated and virtuous wife, I like you enough, you can stay in Hong Kong Island, and you can attend with me when the Xi family has big events, and I will not interfere with your career and lifestyle."

Anyone who hears such a promise will probably be shaken.

But now Sang Yu is extremely sober, "You have better choices, why choose me, make yourself so tired, and the future is so long, who can guarantee a lifetime."

Maybe he will regret it in the near future. He can stop and leave at any time, but she can't. Gaining and losing is more painful than never gaining.

Xi Jinbai sensed that she was insecure. Maybe it was the end of her last relationship that made her afraid to try again. It was caused by him himself.

"You have to give me a chance so that I can give you a sense of security."

Sang Yu said softly: "It's not necessary."

She understands that security is something she gives herself, not what others give her.

Xi Jinbai remained silent for a moment, a sense of frustration welling up in his heart. He once thought that the word "frustration" had nothing to do with his life, and he never expected that he would encounter emotional setbacks.

"Are you afraid of starting a relationship again, or do you simply not want to start a relationship with me?"

"Both." Sang Yu answered frankly and without hesitation.

Xi Jinbai caught her gaze with a dry throat: "Do you like someone else?"

Silence spread and spread in the air, even the wind temporarily avoided making any sound.

Sang Yu didn't deny it, if it would make him give up.

The strength on his wrist suddenly tightened, and Xi Jinbai pulled her to him, "Do you think I will believe it?"

At a very close distance, their eyes met, and they penetrated to the deepest part of their eyes without any obstruction.

His gaze is aggressive, sharp and penetrating.

Sang Yu was afraid of being seen through, so he quickly lowered his eyes to hide the panic in his heart, "Whether you believe it or not, I can't promise you, don't come to me again."

Xi Jinbai gently pinched her chin and raised it, and looked at her again, his tone deliberately serious, "Sang Yu, you were drunk that day, you called my name, said you liked me, and asked me to help you remember. Once?"

Sang Yu's heartbeat was wrong and his breathing was erratic. He turned his head and retorted calmly: "You can't take what you say when you're drunk seriously."

"What you say when you are drunk is the truth." Xi Jinbai put his thumb on her lips, not giving her a chance to speak, "You can think about it slowly, I will give you time."

The action of gently stroking her lips was extremely ambiguous, penetrating into the air.

Sang Yu held his breath, the tips of his ears turned dark red, and he reached out eagerly to push him away.

Xi Jinbai didn't use any force and easily let go of his hand. He turned back to the car and took out a blue gift bag with a pink bow on it. It was very girlish and was incompatible with his strict formal suit. .

The gift bag was handed to her.

"The ceramic ornaments from the last auction, and the crystal pendants we sold a few days ago."

Sang Yu took a step back to avoid it, "I don't want it."

Xi Jinbai forced something into her hand, "If you don't accept it, I'll kiss you now." "You——"

Sang Yu's palms felt hot.

A crisp ringtone interrupted the lingering atmosphere.

She hurriedly lowered her head to get her cell phone to answer the call.

When she saw the word "Mom" in the note, she panicked subconsciously. She looked up and looked upstairs. Her sight was blocked by the balcony and she couldn't see anything. The position she was standing in should be a blind spot and she couldn't see anything upstairs.

Sang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and answered the phone.

"Yu Yu, are you coming up?"

"immediately."

Sang Fengping said: "I'm not urging you. I just remembered that I ran out of vinegar at home. If you haven't gone upstairs yet, bring a bottle from the convenience store."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Sang Yu put the phone back into his pocket.

Her micro-expression just now was all understood by Xi Jinbai.

"Are you so afraid of being seen by your mother?" His tone was very calm, and his black eyes were like a deep pool.

The bottom of the pond may not be as calm as the surface.

Sang Yu said "hmm" in a low voice, "I don't know how to explain it to her."

Xi Jinbai was silent, thinking about what was hidden behind the "explanation".

Before he could figure out the reason, Sang Yu handed the handbag back again, "I can't have the things."

Xi Jinbai refused to take it, his throat was dry and itchy, he suppressed his craving for cigarettes and said, "If you really don't like it, just throw it away. It's useless for me to hold it."

Things worth tens of thousands are insignificant when they come out of his mouth. Even if they are lost, nothing will be lost.

Sang Yu's hand holding the bag stopped in the air.
-
Sang Fengping cleared the table and washed the dishes before Sang Yu came back.

She asked casually: "What have you been talking about for so long?"

Sang Yu said "Ah" in surprise, beating the drum uneasily in his heart.

Sang Fengping said: "You have been seeing Xiao Huo off for so long, aren't you just chatting down there?"

After getting along and chatting at the dinner table just now, she became comfortable calling "Xiao Huo".

Sang Yu's tense heartstrings relaxed and he said vaguely: "I stopped by the express locker to pick up the express."

"What did you buy?"

"Knickknacks."

Sang Fengping had no doubts and didn't ask any more questions.

Sang Yu took the vinegar to the kitchen, then made an excuse to go back to the room to stay.

She put the things Xi Jinbai gave her away in a drawer without even unpacking them.

She lay on the bed with her mind empty, her brain in chaos, as if it was entangled with thousands of threads and could not be untangled no matter how hard she tried.

I don’t know how many people have been trapped by the word love, and some people are destined to have no connection throughout their lives.

She once dreamed that Xi Jinbai would like her, but when she really decided to let go, she no longer expected his love.

If you don’t expect it, you won’t be disappointed.
