The Undercover Heir is Actually Tycoon's Secret Girlfriend-Chapter 396 - 314

"That’s why I wanted you to pick me up."

He added slowly.

Rong Zhi crossed her arms, completely skeptical, "I’m not blind."

He had just fiercely stomped on Li Yan, and now he’s claiming he’s injured, is he joking?

Si Raojing finished the last drag of his cigarette, stubbed it out on the ground, picked it up, and threw it into the trash can, then stood silently watching her.

The sunlight trickled through the branches, turning into speckles that danced on the girl’s hair and body. She stood quietly there, bathed in the light, exuding a peaceful and calm aura, her eyes particularly bright.

They seemed like two extremes of existence.

One trapped in darkness, unable to break free; the other embraced by light, revered as a divine being.

Si Raojing tugged at his lips, took two steps forward, and stopped just before stepping into the light, reaching out to her from afar, his gaze carrying a plea and expectation even he hadn’t noticed.

"I can’t move any further, give me a hand."

Rong Zhi glanced at his perfectly mobile long legs and rolled her eyes at him expressionlessly. Without even bothering to speak, she turned and walked away.

She was aware of Si Raojing’s change, but matters that stand no chance should not be given any hope, which is best for him.

Only after her figure disappeared from view did Si Raojing slowly blink, withdrawing his hand to cover his face, chuckling lowly twice.

Right, it was his own wishful thinking to consider her a savior just because she spoke a few more words.

No one is special to anyone else; he is no exception.

-

After returning, no one mentioned the events of that day. Rong Zhi learned from Chi Lele about Li Yan’s injury and contacted Yao Xiaoshan to have Li Yan come to the office.

The moment she saw Rong Zhi, she shrank back, her eyes wide, like she’d seen something terrifying, refusing to come closer.

Rong Zhi absentmindedly twirled a pen, and under Li Yan’s eyes, which showed a mix of panic and hatred, she calmly asked, "I know a psychologist. Would you like me to recommend one?"

Li Yan: ".....?"

Who needs you to recommend a psychologist!

The banging noises snapped her drifting thoughts back. Yao Xiaoshan stopped tapping the table and said sternly, "Li Yan, you need to explain the situation to us first so that we can solve the problem. Remaining silent or hiding the truth means we can’t help you."

Li Yan pouted, and when she started to speak, it was stammered, "I, I, I don’t know... No, I do know, it was her, she sent someone to hit me. That’s what they said!"

She abruptly pointed at Rong Zhi.

Rong Zhi lazily rested her chin on her hand, let out a nonchalant "oh," and asked, "Who?"

Confronted by her clear, slightly cold, fox-like eyes, Li Yan instinctively avoided her gaze and spoke dryly, "Why don’t you ask yourself! You’re the one who sent them; how would I know who they were? I only remember they shouted your name while beating me!"

Yao Xiaoshan tapped the table with annoyance, "Li Yan, you need to understand that once words are spoken, they can’t be taken back. Are you sure everything you’re saying is true?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

She restrained her emotions and guided gently, trying to give Li Yan one last chance to tell the truth, but unfortunately, Li Yan wasn’t receptive.

"Of course it is!" Li Yan’s eyes reddened as she continued, as if suffering a great injustice, "I know Rong Zhi couldn’t swallow the fact that I slandered her, so she sent people to beat me as revenge."

She looked at Rong Zhi, her voice filled with tears, "But you can’t send Si Raojing to trouble me! You know how much I like him..."

"I didn’t know."

Rong Zhi interrupted her unhurriedly.

Li Yan gasped, almost choking, feeling suffocated and uncomfortable.

"Wha- what’s wrong with you? Can’t you let me finish talking?!"
