Fated Love With the Billionaire-Chapter 5 - Breakup

Guo Heming felt a jolt in his heart, sensing something was wrong, and asked in a low voice while trying to control his panicked heartbeat,

"My girlfriend?"

The woman nodded, urgently and angrily asking, "What should we do?"

Guo Heming knitted his brows, "What should we do? What can we do."

It was too late to regret now. He could only pretend to be calm, but his trembling hands betrayed his feelings.

He asked, "Did she see you?"

The woman was speechless, "Me, standing right there, how could she not see me?"

Guo Heming's lips were dry and his throat tight as he paced back and forth anxiously before stopping to say,

"Put your clothes on first, I'll go out and deal with her."

The woman looked around and, not finding her underwear, suddenly remembered their urgency in the living room last night and figured it was casually tossed outside.

She said, "My underwear is missing."

"You," Guo Heming snapped in frustration, "Look again."

The woman looked behind him and said awkwardly, "It must be in the living room."

Guo Heming was about to lose his mind, glaring at her irritably, "Troublesome."

The woman snapped, "I'm troublesome? Last night it was you who..."

"Okay, okay, what time is it? No need to argue over this nonsense," Guo Heming was about to leave when the woman behind him grabbed his wrist, "Will she barge in?"

Guo Heming licked his lips. Based on his understanding of Chen Ningxi, she probably wouldn't, but given how this was a caught-in-the-act situation, he wasn't sure. Besides, she had mentioned installing surveillance before leaving on her business trip, and as he thought about it, he grew more uncertain about how she happened to block the door so timely.

Wanting to save face, Guo Heming pretended to be composed and said,

"She won't, I'm here."

The woman said, "Handle your own affairs well, don't drag me into it."

Guo Heming wanted to curse, but remembering the woman's identity, he could only say, "Got it."

Walking out of the room, the living room was silent. At a glance, he saw the underwear hanging on the Bearbrick, quickly grabbing and nervously tossing it into the trash can.

He hadn't figured out how to explain it yet. His mind was a mess, so he had to brace himself and sit down in front of Chen Ningxi.

Seeing her fairly calm and not wanting to make a scene, Guo Heming's heart eased a little.

"Why didn't you say you were coming back?"

"..."

Hearing this, Chen Ningxi raised her eyes and met his gaze. Guo Heming felt awkward, rubbing his palms on his legs a few times before saying hesitantly, "Ning Xi... I... I can explain."

Chen Ningxi said, "Explain."

Guo Heming went to pour a glass of water to stall for time and organize his thoughts, then put the cup down, "Have a sip of water first."

Chen Ningxi clearly wasn't interested in drinking water, waiting for him to explain.

Guo Heming cleared his throat lightly, "She's a client of mine. She won a lawsuit and insisted on buying me a drink. I really couldn't refuse, it was just a social occasion. Who knew she would drink too much and not wake up? I couldn't leave a woman there alone, it wasn't safe, so I brought her here for a short stay.

I truly drank too much and had a terrible headache, then went straight to bed when I got back. I promise nothing happened between us, I just came in to wake her up after getting your call. Don't misunderstand."

Chen Ningxi calmly said, "Guo Heming, you're a lawyer. Listen to what you're saying. Do you believe it yourself?"

"I... sigh..." Guo Heming opened his mouth, feeling aggrieved but unable to explain, "Really nothing happened. Don't misunderstand. Ning Xi, why don't you believe me?"

Seeing him sweating on his forehead, Chen Ningxi said nothing, handing him a tissue.

Noticing the sweat, he pretended to be calm as he took the tissue and wiped it, mechanically saying,

"Ning Xi, you have to believe me, I really drank too much."

Compared to Chen Ningxi's stability, Guo Heming appeared particularly uneasy. She examined him before saying, "You don't normally speak with this tone. Why are you flustered? You know why, and I'm not stupid."

"No, I'm not flustered," he continued to argue vigorously, "I just drank a little too much last night, feeling uncomfortable."

Even though Guo Heming was quite experienced, he couldn't hide his anxiety at the moment.

Chen Ningxi said, "Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Guo Heming looked pained, "I don't."

"Still quibbling?"

Chen Ningxi stared at him, making Guo Heming avert his eyes uncomfortably, then he leaned forward, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Really, nothing happened between us. I drank too much, what could I do?" By the end, Guo Heming looked almost disappointed with Chen Ningxi's disbelief. "Don't you know me? Last time I went to your office party, drank five bottles, and just crashed on the bed when we got home, you had to help me undress, remember?"

Chen Ningxi said, "Last night at Zero Bar, you drank five Depth Charges, two cocktails, seemed pretty sober."

Hearing this, Guo Heming frowned incredulously, "You had someone follow me?"

Chen Ningxi's gaze was cool, revealing no emotions, her tone calm and even.

"Using professional tricks unjustly doesn't work. Guo Heming, if you're a man, then be bold and own up. I'd at least respect you for that."

Guo Heming instantly froze, his small secret exposed, "I... I am telling the truth."

Chen Ningxi said calmly, "The truth is you slept with another woman last night, you betrayed me."

"I didn't,"

"Need proof?"

Her righteousness implied solid evidence in hand, making Guo Heming certain there was surveillance at home.

He looked around but didn't see any, so he tried to placate her for now, "Ning Xi, believe me, really, nothing happened."

Guo Heming half-knelt in front of Chen Ningxi, pleading, trying to take her hand but she avoided it.

Chen Ningxi's gaze was filled with disdain and loathing. Facing betrayal, she truly couldn't turn a blind eye.

"Guo Heming, due to your infidelity and unfaithfulness, I am officially breaking up with you.

I'll inform my parents and save your face with the introducer. As for your parents, you think about whether to come clean."

After speaking, Chen Ningxi stood to grab her Bearbrick ornament, but Guo Heming hugged her tightly.

With a clatter, the ornament slipped from her hand, and the Bearbrick shattered into pieces on the ground.

Guo Heming was stunned. Chen Ningxi didn't have many hobbies, but she did keep several Bearbrick decorations around. She'd even DIY-ed this starry one herself and loved it dearly.

"Ning Xi, I'm sorry, I'll buy you another one."

Guo Heming was incoherently picking up the fragments from the floor when a trash can rolled into sight, a lacey pair of underwear tumbling out.

Chen Ningxi, pointing at the flimsy fabric, said, "Now are you still saying nothing happened with her?"

Guo Heming was at a loss for words.

Chen Ningxi said, "I'll have my friends come by tonight to get what I left at your place. Hopefully, you won't have bar engagements tonight, so you can oversee the process to avoid claims of missing items."

With that, she turned to leave, but Guo Heming called out.

"Ning Xi."

Chen Ningxi looked at him, and Guo Heming said, "Delete the video on your phone."

Having achieved her goal, there was no point in keeping it.

Chen Ningxi deleted the video in front of him, "Can I go now?"

Guo Heming asked, "You've made backups, right?"

Chen Ningxi replied with anger and disdain, "I'll delete them, I have no interest in keeping your filthy affairs."

Guo Heming stepped aside, letting Chen Ningxi leave.

Upon hearing the door close, the woman in the bedroom peered out and asked,

"She's gone?"

The sight of her annoyed Guo Heming, yet he kept his composure and said, "Yeah, she's gone."
