One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 493 - 491: Secrets Forgotten by Time (11)

Helian Sulan stared in disbelief, unable to believe that Qiao Yanjing had just slapped her—"You, you actually hit me for that bitch Song Xueqin!"

Qiao Yanjing was furious, "Remember this, no one can speak about her like that in front of me! Do you understand?"

Helian Sulan was so angry that her teeth itched, and the burning pain on her face made her realize what had just happened. She thought that her years of devotion truly mattered to him, but unexpectedly...

In the end, she still couldn’t compare to Song Xueqin, a woman who had already betrayed him long ago.

Fine, if that’s the case, don’t blame her for being ruthless and heartless. The Helian Family doesn’t take things lying down; Helian Family’s daughters wouldn’t be trampled like this—

Helian Sulan smiled slightly, lowering her hand slowly, "Qiao Yanjing, just you wait!"

For this man, she had done everything possible, yet still couldn’t win his true heart.

Ha! Since she can’t obtain it this way, she might as well just destroy him.

...

For two whole days, Song Song and Xiao Jinghuai stayed in the hotel suite, not caring about the outside world, just snuggling on the hotel sofa watching TV shows and movies.

It was now afternoon, Song Song lay on the sofa, holding a bag of chips, with a Stephen Chow movie playing on the TV. Whether her humor threshold was too high, or simply unable to laugh, her expression was tense throughout, without a single smile—

Xiao Jinghuai had never seen her like this before, it was also his first time wanting to comfort her but unsure of what to say.

He sat beside her peeling an apple, and said softly, "Huo Junting called me just now."

Song Song kept her eyes on the TV, eating chips, merely responding with an indifferent "Mm," clearly dismissive.

Xiao Jinghuai glanced at her, noticing the laziness emanating from her whole being, like a lazy little cat, he smiled knowingly, it seemed she was quite content here.

He cut the apple into small pieces, set them with toothpicks and offered them to her, "Do you want some?"

Song Song looked at him and the fruit platter in surprise, smiling as she reached for one, "So President Xiao’s apple cutting skills are this good."

"You finally smiled, I thought you’d forgotten what laughter is." Xiao Jinghuai sighed in relief, "Are you willing to talk to me now, about what’s truly on your mind?"

"..." Song Song bit into the apple, pausing slightly, "What is it, just about not having a complete childhood?"

"I’m not that fragile—"

Xiao Jinghuai touched the girl’s soft, fair cheek, "Is everything really okay?"

"At least... right now, it’s okay." Song Song’s eyes glimmered, "Without them here, it’s not as painful when you don’t see them... By the way, how was your childhood? Was it happy?"

"If it’s very happy, I hope you can share with me, let this child with a missing childhood feel a bit of warmth..."

He probably never talked to her about his own childhood!

Though some memories weren’t recollected yet, she inexplicably felt certain about this.

Xiao Jinghuai pulled her onto his lap, this time Song Song didn’t resist, because she knew struggling was futile—

Whenever this man wanted to hug her, when had she ever successfully resisted?

Might as well find a comfortable position to listen to the story...

Song Song snuggled in the man’s arms, closed her eyes and smiled, "Alright, human sofa, please start your performance."

Xiao Jinghuai: "..."

Human sofa?

It was his first time being called that.
