Hunt her

Yan Xu belatedly realized that she seemed to be deliberately distancing herself from Xiao Jingxing, both in terms of physical contact and tone of voice.

Could it be because of Shen Yi?

Afraid of upsetting Shen Yi, she subconsciously chose to listen to Shen Yi and keep her distance from Xiao Jingxing.

Yan Xu herself was surprised by the changes in herself, but she was too embarrassed to admit it.

She brushed a stray hair from her forehead and feigned ignorance: "Really? I don't think so."

Xiao Jingxing had watched her grow up since she was a child. Whenever she spoke, she would fidget more and her eyes would dart away.

At that moment, he understood...

Shen Yi's importance in her heart had unknowingly surpassed that of her neighbor, whom she had known for over a decade.

Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, Xiao Jingxing forced a bitter smile: "Xiao Xu, when will you accompany Brother Jingxing to travel around again? It's been years since I've been back to Kunming, and many places have developed so much that I don't recognize them anymore."

He didn't know what he was expecting.

Perhaps he wanted to make up for the years when she needed him the most.

It's also possible that he wants to regain his place in her heart.

But the Yan Xu we know now is the Yan Xu who has been gradually saved by Shen Yi after experiencing major psychological trauma.

Upon hearing Xiao Jingxing's invitation, her first thought was whether Shen Yi would mind.

He's the kind of person who gets jealous even when he talks to Jingxing on the phone; if he were to go shopping with Jingxing, he'd probably explode.

Yan Xu shook his head and softly refused, "I'm sorry, Brother Jingxing, but I can have my friend take you."

"It's alright, no need." Xiao Jingxing's last bit of hope was dashed, and his disappointment was written all over his face. "We'll talk about it later when we have time."

Yan Xu: "Mm."

The two arrived at the Haojia Hotel at around 2 p.m.

When checking in, the front desk staff said there was only one business room left.

So Xiao Jingxing continued to stay in the business room, while Yan Xu was upgraded to the presidential suite.

Inside the elevator, Yan Xu held the room key in his hand and sighed, "As expected of the provincial capital, Zhenyunxuan has had very few bookings lately, but this place is almost fully booked."

It seems that the off-season for tourism has little impact on these five-star luxury hotels.

Xiao Jingxing stared at the Haojia Hotel logo above the elevator, his expression complex and unreadable: "Maybe."

Haojia Hotel is one of the luxury hotels under the Shen Group.

Whether it was truly the only business room left, or whether the man deliberately upgraded her to a room, only Shen Yi herself knew the truth.

The presidential suite is on the 22nd floor, which is considered the top floor room excluding the equipment floor.

Xiao Jingxing's room was on the 10th floor. He got off the elevator first: "I'll come up to you tonight. I'll have someone deliver the dress to you in advance."

Yan Xu said calmly, "Okay, thank you for your trouble, Brother Jingxing."

The two were so polite to each other that they didn't seem like childhood sweethearts, but rather like newly acquainted colleagues.

Xiao Jingxing was once again hurt by her aloofness.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Xiao Jingxing suddenly reached out and stopped them, startling Yan Xu.

Her heart was still pounding, and she frowned as she asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Jingxing knew he had lost his temper, but he couldn't control the anger in his heart: "Xiao Xu, stay away from Shen Yi, he's not a good person."

Yan Xu was somewhat disgusted by these inexplicable words: "Brother Jingxing, don't make judgments if you don't understand him."

In her eyes, Shen Yi was better than many others.

No, it's everyone except her maternal grandfather, including her parents.

Therefore, she would not allow anyone to slander him.

The more Yan Xu spoke up for Shen Yi, the more Xiao Jingxing could not suppress his jealousy.

Why is it that Shen Yi, who has only been around for half a year, can replace him in her heart for more than ten years?

He hates the feeling of having his things taken away, which makes him feel like a loser.

Xiao Jingxing probed, "What if he lies to you in a relationship? Would you still be willing to stand by his side?"

Lie to her?

Yan Xu frowned, his eyes sharpening: "What do you mean? Do you know something?"

"It's nothing." After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Jingxing ultimately chose to keep it a secret. "I was just saying."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xu breathed a sigh of relief and replied seriously, "I can't accept being lied to; that's my bottom line. But I trust him; he won't lie to me."

Her words were sincere, and every word carried her complete trust.

In relationships, whether it's family, friendship, or love, she gives her complete trust, but if she discovers betrayal even once, that trust is wiped out.

She's just that kind of extreme person.

People who see things in black and white, without any gray areas.

Hearing Yan Xu's words, Xiao Jingxing smiled with satisfaction: "Go upstairs and get some rest."

The elevator doors closed again, but Yan Xu kept replaying Xiao Jingxing's words in her mind.

Shen Yi lied to her...

He's been so good to her, how could he lie to her?

Although Yan Xu completely trusted Shen Yi, the power of words is immense.

It was like a seed, sown deep in Yan Xu's heart.

I dare not let it take root and sprout, yet I can't help but want to find out if it's true or false.

"Ding—" The elevator has arrived.

Yan Xu stepped out of the elevator. There were two presidential suites on this floor, one room number 01 and the other room number 02.

Yan Xu took out the room card and opened the door to room 02. Directly opposite was a floor-to-ceiling window more than four meters long, offering a panoramic view of Kuncheng.

Yan Xu put down his bag, intending to take a shower and then sleep for a while. He was too tired last night and hadn't fully recovered his energy.

On the other side, in Presidential Suite Room 01.

Shen Yi had just arrived at the hotel and hadn't had a chance to rest yet.

The hotel general manager came up to him and reported: "As arranged by General Manager Shen, Ms. Yan's room has been upgraded to a presidential suite, and pear-scented incense has been specially placed by the bedside."

Shen Yi pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyes tired: "Okay, let's go out."

The general manager walked out of the suite and closed the door.

Shen Yi opened his phone and received the surveillance video from the hotel elevator.

One minute she was expressionless, but the next, when she saw Xiao Jingxing blocking Yan Xu from going up the elevator and saying things that made her doubt him, her expression immediately became serious.

"Hmph." Shen Yi coldly watched Xiao Jingxing speak to Yan Xu at the elevator entrance, his aura growing increasingly weak. "Trying to break me and Yan Xu up?"

dream.

He sent a message in his group chat with his friends: "Xiao Jingxing is bringing my wife to the party. Can you guys help me separate them?"

Xiao Yuanyang: [Wow, he even went out of his way to get Yan Xu away. Brother Long, you're going to have to deal with Xiao Jingxing.]

They knew Shen Yi all too well; he was a man with a vengeful nature.

Ren Mingting also speculated: "Brother Long, you'd better not go too far. If your wife finds out, she'll definitely be angry with you."

Shen Yi ignored their words. If he could listen to advice, would he still be Shen Yi?

He tagged Ren Mingting in the group chat: "You're the host of this party, so have your people take good care of Yan Xu."

Ren Mingting: [That goes without saying, absolutely.]

After arranging things, Shen Yi wanted to go next door to find Yan Xu, but he couldn't, so he could only stay quietly in his room.

......

Around 5 p.m.

Yan Xu was awakened by a doorbell ringing.

Yan Xu threw back the covers: "Coming!"

When the door opened, it was the people delivering the dresses. They pushed a rack into the room, which was filled with more than a dozen dresses of all styles, dazzling the eye.

Three makeup artists followed behind.

Yan Xu looked puzzled and pointed to the rows of clothes, asking, "Did Brother Jingxing arrange all of these?"

He has always been frugal; when has he ever acted so extravagantly?

The staff member shook his head: "No, there are lucky draw spots for today's party. The lucky winner will receive free makeup and styling."

"So all of this was provided by Haojia Hotel?" Yan Xu asked in surprise. "I'm so lucky."

She used to never win even five yuan in the lottery.

Staff: "Yes, there are three spots available, and you are one of them."

A surprise suddenly fell from the sky, leaving Yan Xu at a loss. She forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

She casually chose a pure white silk fishtail dress, and the dress, which Xiao Jingxing had arranged to be delivered, only arrived in her room halfway through the makeup artist's work.

Xiao Jing walked to the door and found it open. He thought something had happened to Yan Xu, but when he went in, he saw that she had changed into a formal dress.

Moreover, it's even more luxurious than the champagne-colored tulle dress he's holding.

He noticed the dozen or so dresses leaning against the wall, and the sense of loss in his heart deepened.

Clutching the borrowed dress tightly in his hand, he stood at the door like a clown.

It must have been Shen Yi who did it.

Yan Xu glanced at the door and saw someone there. She turned her head slightly and said, "Brother Jingxing... please sit and wait for me for a while. I'll be done with my makeup soon."

She didn't notice that his face had darkened.

Xiao Jingxing gritted his teeth, looked down at the dress in his hand, feeling resentful but with nowhere to vent his anger: "Fine, I'll wait for you."

Shen Yi, you did a great job!
