For a long time, after Xia Xingcheng was kissed until she was a little groggy and out of breath, Sheng Yeting released his grip on her and ended the kiss.
She pressed Xia Xingcheng's forehead with some unfinished thoughts, and Sheng Yeting couldn't help but murmur softly: "Okay, now that I've diverted your attention, can you tell me what's going on?"
Hearing what he said, Xia Xingcheng's slightly confused and infatuated mood suddenly returned to clarity and turned into a kind of vigilance.
Xia Xingcheng pushed Sheng Yeting gently, and the distance between Xia Xingcheng and Xia Xingcheng became wider.
For some reason, Xia Xingcheng didn't dare to look into Sheng Yeting's eyes at this time, but defended in a low voice: "I'm really fine, what are you talking about."
Although she had thought about asking Sheng Yeting to solve the 100 million issue, she had already ruled it out.
Because she didn't want to owe Sheng Yeting anymore. She really owed this man enough.
But Sheng Yeting didn't believe it at all. He stretched out his hand and clamped Xia Xingcheng's chin, making her look directly into his eyes. "Let me ask you again, is there really nothing wrong?"
His intuition told him that things must not be as simple as they are now, and this woman would never be like this.
The more deliberately he concealed himself, the more certain he became that things were not that simple.
In this case, Sheng Yeting couldn't help but ask directly: "Xia Xingcheng, don't lie to me."
His eyes were like sharp eagles staring into Xia Xingcheng's eyes, as if he could penetrate Xia Xingcheng's expression, making her feel like she had nowhere to hide.
Knowing that there was nothing he could do to hide anything from Sheng Yeting, Xia Xingcheng sighed in his heart, and finally said helplessly: "Can I not say anything? I can handle this matter myself."
Sheng Yeting's face flashed with confusion, but in the end he didn't say anything, but released his grip on Xia Xingcheng.
His whole body suddenly relaxed, and Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but give up her resistance immediately. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said softly: "Okay, I promise you, I won't be unhappy, okay?"
Somehow, seeing Xia Xingcheng like this, the gloom in Sheng Yeting's heart suddenly disappeared, and his mood seemed to be much better.
As a result, Sheng Yeting's expression suddenly softened a lot.
Gently tucking Xia Xingcheng's broken hair behind her ears, Sheng Yeting said in a soft voice, "I heard from Xiaobao that you haven't eaten yet. I'll take you out to eat tonight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but be slightly startled and looked at him doubtfully.
"where are we going?"
Xia Xingcheng didn't know where Sheng Yeting would take her. After all, she didn't know that today was an important day and she had to go out to eat.
"Of course I'll take you to a place to eat."
He just saw that this woman seemed to be hungry. After struggling for so long, it was already past the time to eat. How could this woman not know how to take care of herself
Sheng Yeting's attitude was tough and he just pulled Xia Xingcheng and walked out, looking very unmistakable.
When they got downstairs, Sheng Yeting took Xia Xingcheng into the car without any explanation.
While not forgetting to fasten Xia Xingcheng's seat belt, when he was closest to Xia Xingcheng, he stopped looking and looked at Xia Xingcheng quietly.
Faced with such a close distance between the two of them, Xia Xingcheng felt a little nervous for some reason. She unconsciously looked away and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Sheng Yeting reached out and tucked her broken hair behind her ears. Then he looked away from Xia Xingcheng, shook his head, and then couldn't help but concentrate on driving.
Xia Xingcheng relaxed now. She didn't know why, but she always felt that it was particularly dull inside the car. She took a slight breath to calm down her mood. The two of them were silent all the way.
Unable to bear it, Xia Xingcheng glanced at the time on her watch. After seeing that it was already night, her heart gradually sank.
Because, there was not much time left before the deadline Xia Xingyan gave her.
But... She has thought of all the ways she can think of, but she really doesn't have the ability to come up with the money.
Besides, people from the Xia family are simply too bullying.
While his thoughts were in turmoil, Sheng Yeting's car stopped in front of a well-known Chinese restaurant. Uncharacteristically, the latter got out of the car like a gentleman and opened the door for Xia Xingcheng.
It wasn't until she entered the restaurant that Xia Xingcheng felt that she was really hungry. She hadn't had a good meal in the past few days, but her mental tension made her feel less hungry.
The staff seemed to know Sheng Yeting and respectfully led the two of them to a secluded private room.
Seeing the dishes in front of him being served one by one, Xia Xingcheng immediately started eating without being polite.
Although she was very hungry at this time, she still behaved like a young lady. Her eating appearance was not ugly, she just ate a little too much.
In addition, Sheng Yeting specially brought two bottles of red wine, making Xia Xingcheng drink some more as an exception, making the atmosphere even more ambiguous.
It wasn't until Sheng Yeting put down his chopsticks for a long time that Xia Xingcheng put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach.
Sheng Yeting couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Xia Xingcheng like this: "Look at you, are you full?"
The more he comes into contact with Xia Xingcheng, the more he feels that Xia Xingcheng is a very special woman. Every time, he discovers a different version of himself, making him want to explore and protect this woman. .
Xia Xingcheng nodded: "Thank you for tonight's dinner, Ye Ting."
After all, this meal was invited by Sheng Yeting, and she was a little touched in her heart.
Sheng Yeting didn't pay attention to the deliberate alienation in Xia Xingcheng's words, and just looked at the woman opposite him quietly: "Now you can tell me what happened to you today."
He is not a gossip, but for some reason, he really wants to know what happened to Xia Xingcheng, otherwise he will feel like a complete failure.
Xia Xingcheng hesitated for a moment. Originally, he had made up his mind and didn't want to reveal anything, but for some reason, he didn't want to hide it from Sheng Yeting at this time.
Maybe it was the effect of alcohol that made her a little tipsy, or maybe her inner defense was really close to collapse.
After all, things have reached the point where they are now. Because of Xiaobao, she has no choice.
"I never told you that I have a younger sister who is my half-brother, named Xia Xingyan."
Xia Xingcheng stared blankly in one direction, as if lost in memories, or recounting a ridiculous and short-lived family relationship that had nothing to do with her.
"Although we are sisters, after living together for so many years, I realized that she has never had any feelings for me, and even personally designed me to take away my fiancé."
