C342 I Want to Protect Her

After a long while, when Xia Xingcheng was a little dizzy from his kiss, Sheng Yeting finally let go of his hold on her and ended the kiss.

She pressed her hand against Xia Xingcheng's forehead as if she wanted to continue. Sheng Yeting couldn't help but mutter, "Alright, now that I've diverted your attention, can you tell me what's going on?"

Upon hearing his words, Xia Xingcheng's somewhat muddled emotions instantly regained their clarity and turned into vigilance.

She gently pushed Sheng Yeting, the distance between the two of them was a bit far.

For some reason, Xia Xingcheng didn't dare to look into Sheng Yeting's eyes. Instead, she explained softly, "I'm really fine. What are you talking about?"

Although she wanted to find Sheng Yeting to solve the 100 million issue, she had already eliminated it.

Because she didn't want to owe Sheng Yeting anymore, she owed this man a lot.

Sheng Yeting, on the other hand, didn't believe it at all. He stretched out his hand to clamp Xia Xingcheng's chin, making her look straight into his eyes. "I'll ask you again, did nothing really happen?"

His intuition told him that things would definitely not be as simple as they were now. This woman definitely would not be like this normally.

The more she tried to conceal herself, the more convinced he was that things were not that simple.

Thus, Sheng Yeting couldn't help but ask, "Xia Xingcheng, don't lie to me."

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's as he stared into Xia Xingcheng's eyes. It was as if he could pierce through Xia Xingcheng's expression, making her feel as if there was nowhere for her to hide.

Knowing that she couldn't hide anything from Sheng Yeting, Xia Xingcheng sighed in her heart. In the end, she could only helplessly say: "Can I not tell you? I can handle this myself. "

A complicated look flashed across Sheng Yeting's face, but he didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he released his grip on Xia Xingcheng.

Her body suddenly relaxed, and Xia Xingcheng immediately gave up resisting. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said softly, "Okay, I promise you that I won't be unhappy, okay?"

Somehow, the haze in Sheng Yeting's heart dissipated when he saw Xia Xingcheng like this. His mood seemed to have improved a lot.

Thus, Sheng Yeting's expression couldn't help but become a lot gentler.

Gently pinning Xia Xingcheng's broken hair behind her ear, Sheng Yeting said in a gentle voice, "I heard from Xiaobao that you haven't eaten yet, so I'll take you out to eat tonight."

Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but be taken aback as soon as she finished her sentence. She looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Where are we going?"

Xia Xingcheng didn't know where Sheng Yeting was taking her. After all, she didn't know what kind of important day it was and wanted to go out to eat.

"Of course I'm going to take you to a place to eat."

He just saw that this woman seemed to be hungry. After being tormented for so long, she had already passed the time for eating. Why did this woman not know how to take care of herself?

Sheng Yeting had a tough attitude. He pulled Xia Xingcheng and walked out with an unquestionable look.

When they got downstairs, Sheng Yeting brought Xia Xingcheng into the car without any explanation.

Xia Xingcheng didn't forget to buckle her seat belt. When she got closer to Xia Xingcheng, she stopped and looked at her silently.

Facing such a close distance between the two of them, Xia Xingcheng didn't know why, but she felt a little nervous. She unconsciously looked away and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sheng Yeting stuck her hair behind her ears before looking back at Xia Xingcheng. After he shook his head, he couldn't help but concentrate on driving.

Xia Xingcheng finally relaxed. For some reason, she felt that the interior of the car was especially heavy. She took a small breath to calm her nerves and the two of them didn't speak for the entire journey.

Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but look at the time on her watch. When she saw that it was already late at night, her heart couldn't help but sink.

It was because there wasn't much time left before the deadline Xia Xingyan had given her.1

But... She had already thought of all the ways she could think of. She really didn't have the ability to take out the money.

Moreover, Xia Family people are simply going too far.

While she was still lost in her thoughts, Sheng Yeting's car stopped in front of a famous Chinese restaurant. Uncharacteristically, the latter got out of the car and opened the door for Xia Xingcheng.

Xia Xingcheng felt a little hungry after entering the restaurant. She hadn't had a proper meal these past few days. It was just that her mental tension made her feel less hungry.

The staff seemed to know Sheng Yeting and directly brought the two of them to a secluded room.

Seeing that the dishes were served one by one, Xia Xingcheng did not hold back and immediately started to eat.

Although she was currently very hungry, she still followed the rules set by all the young misses. Her eating appearance wasn't that bad, it was just that she ate a little too much.

Plus, Sheng Yeting brought two bottles of red wine with him, which made Xia Xingcheng drink a little more, which made the atmosphere even more ambiguous.

After Sheng Yeting put down his chopsticks for a long time, Xia Xingcheng finally put them down in satisfaction. She suddenly felt much more comfortable in her stomach.

Sheng Yeting found it funny when he saw Xia Xingcheng's expression. "Are you full?"

The more contact he had with Xia Xingcheng, the more he felt that she was special. Every time, he would find out that she was different, and he wanted to investigate and protect her.

Xia Xingcheng nodded, "Thank you for dinner tonight, Yeting."

After all, Sheng Yeting was the one who invited her to this meal, so she was a little touched.

Sheng Yeting didn't care about the estrangement in Xia Xingcheng's words. He just looked at the woman in front of him quietly, "Can you tell me what happened to you today?"

He wasn't a gossipy person, but for some reason, he really wanted to know what happened to Xia Xingcheng. Otherwise, he would feel that he had failed extremely hard.

Xia Xingcheng hesitated for a moment. She originally decided not to reveal anything, but for some reason, she didn't want to hide anything from Sheng Yeting.

Perhaps the alcohol had made her a little drunk, or perhaps her mental defenses were really close to collapse.

After all, things had gotten to this point. Because of Xiaobao, she had no other way.

"I never told you that I have a sister who is a half-sister of mine. Her name is Xia Xingyan."

Xia Xingcheng stared blankly at a direction, lost in thought as if she was lost in her memories. At the same time, it was as though she was narrating a ridiculous and temporary family relationship that had nothing to do with her.

"Although we are sisters, after living together for so many years, I found out that she had no feelings for me. She even personally designed me to take away my fiancé."
