Nie Xi returned the scarf to Xing Shu. “I’m just being honest. Cheng Lang is so aloof; a man of few words. It’s hard to imagine he’s so passionate in bed. He left so many hickeys. Is he not worried that your relationship will be exposed?” Google search 𝗳𝘳ℯ𝑒𝓌ℯ𝚋𝐧oνe𝘭. c𝐨ｍ

Xing Shu thought about this question as she wrapped the scarf around her neck. It did seem that Cheng Lang had not ever hidden their affair on purpose at all. Was he not afraid at all or did he not care?

Nie Xi walked up to Xing Shu with a serious look in her eyes. “Xing Shu, it’s one thing to fool around. But if you choose to fall in even though you know full well that it’s an abyss, you’ll be an idiot. You’re different from me. I’m done for with Nie Heng for the rest of my life; like a penny waiting for change.” Just the mention of Nie Heng made Nie Xi breathless. She looked at Xing Shu solemnly and reminded her, “Don’t love the wrong person.”

Xing Shu did not know how to respond and avoided this topic. Everyone knew that falling in love with Cheng Lang was like a moth to a flame. If she was not careful, she would be reduced to ashes. However, there were some who just have a death wish.

When Xing Shu and Nie Xi entered the apartment, Nie Xi immediately took the soft couch. The socialites in the Beijing social circle had many cliques; and right now, everyone was talking about Nie Heng’s bid for the wristwatch—that it was for Ms. Liu—and Nie Heng’s dedication to her.

Nie Xi took out a cigarette and lit it—took a puff—and deftly blew out a smoke ring. She touched her neck, where there was a three-centimeter scar. She looked at Xing Shu and smiled. “I probably told you that this scar came from a fall, right?”

Xing Shu took out a drink from the fridge and looked at Nie Xi. “Isn’t it?”

“Of course not. When I was 18 years old, I professed my love to Nie Heng after one too many drinks. At that time, I didn’t think too much about it. I thought that Nie Heng and I had known each other for many years and he’s in love with me. But, I was unlucky that night to have stumbled upon Nie Heng professing his love to Ms. Liu. I watched from the back garden of the Nie family as he was rejected very bluntly by Ms. Liu.” Nie Xi seemed to have traveled back in time. “I didn’t expect to see that. After all, Nie Heng usually looked so powerful and looked down on everyone. I didn’t expect that he would be rejected by someone. I was afraid that he would be sad—so I ran over—told him that I liked him and could be with him. Nie Heng was still holding the gift that Ms. Liu had returned. That was the first time I saw embarrassment and anger in his eyes.

He threw the carefully wrapped gift at me and the sharp edge of the box cut my neck.”

Nie Xi’s voice was very calm. “But he still came to my room that night. I didn’t reject him. Even if he did something to hurt me, I would forgive him at his slightest beckon. Xing Shu, this is love. Love makes women cheap. Of course, it’s the same for men. It’s just that we are unable to make men fall in love first. The one who falls in love first will be the cheap one. Xing Shu, I don’t want you to be like me.”

Cheng Lang was not much better than Nie Heng. At least Nie Heng had a sincere heart, even if this heart was not for Nie Xi. What about Cheng Lang? He did not even have a sincere heart. He was illusory and impossible to fathom. When one thought that they had him, he would suddenly disappear in the next moment and tell them that it was all an illusion.

Xing Shu opened a can of Coke and placed it in front of Nie Xi. Nie Xi raised her head and took a big sip. “Not to mention, there’s Old Master Cheng to contend with in the Cheng family.”

Nie Xi was very afraid that Xing Shu would make a mistake. After all, Xing Shu had been hurt once, by Cheng Xingyang. But even then, the matter with Cheng Xingyang was small-bore and she got over it in a few days.

Just as Nie Xi was about to say more, she saw Xing Shu bring over a large pile of documents and organizing them seriously. Nie Xi— who had been worried all this while—could not help but give a thumbs up. “Good! You’re awesome!

You keep this up. After all, you’ve bedded Cheng Lang and dragged the Buddha off the altar. Add to that, your promotion. It’s not a loss no matter what! If I were you, I would bang him a few more times!”

Xing Shu found it funny, but when she thought of the wristwatch that Nie Heng had bought, her smile faded. She knew that Nie Xi felt terrible. She had loved Nie Heng for so many years, and her heart had long been broken..
