Chapter 45 - The Heart

Didn't Xia Qin'er break that day? So this

Zhou Xing Chen didn't even glance at her. His words were light and graceful. Liang Jia looked around to make sure that no one else was around and followed him out.

Zhou Xing Chen took the lead, leading the way. Liang Jia followed right behind him, her thoughts racing like a bolt of lightning.

If the bracelet on Zhou Xing Chen's hand was real, then the one Xia Qin'er fell on that day was a fake. Was it just to make her angry? Liang Jia instantly understood all of this, and the happiness in her heart slowly rose.

Zhou Xing Chen walked into the locker room. Liang Jia stood by the door, hesitating about whether or not to enter. However, he was pulled in by Zhou Xing Chen, who pushed Liang Jia against the wall.

Zhou Xing Chen's hand gripped Liang Jia's delicate chin, and they kissed fiercely on her dark red lips.

Liang Jia's eyes widened as she tried to push Zhou Xing Chen away with both hands.

"Zhou Xing Chen!" What's wrong with you! "

Zhou Xing Chen let go of Liang Jia, and she wiped the liquid from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, her wrist tightened, and she was pulled back by Zhou Xing Chen.

"Don't move." Zhou Xing Chen's low voice sounded out. "I have something to ask you."

Liang Jia stopped arguing upon hearing this. Her watery eyes blinked as she stared at him without blinking, waiting for the next part.

"Liang Jia, let me ask you something." Zhou Xing Chen closed his eyes, and upon opening them, he looked at her with utmost seriousness. "Do you love me?"

This was a question that Zhou Xing Chen had asked himself many times before. In the past, he had always said it without thinking, "Love." That was when the Zhou family was under someone else's roof, and he had no choice but to say so. Now, did he, Zhou Xing Chen, still want to say that he loved him?

She wanted to say no, but the words wouldn't come out.

Finally, she turned her head to the side and said, "The wedding is about to begin. "Is that interesting?"

Zhou Xing Chen moved closer to her, forcing her to look at him. "Liang Jia, as long as you admit that you love me, I will not agree to this marriage."

Liang Jia's mind buzzed, but she remained silent.

"Admit it, Liang Jia." Zhou Xing Chen gripped her shoulders and said softly, "You love me."

Liang Jia looked at him and shook her head, her eyes full of doubt.

"If you say you don't love her, then why didn't you want to come to my wedding? Why didn't you want to leave the Zhou family? Why did you come all the way here to tell me about Xia Qin'er's other purpose?" Zhou Xing Chen asked one question after another. His handsome eyes couldn't see anything except for Liang Jia. "Can you explain this?"

Beads of sweat dripped from Liang Jia's forehead.

"Liang Jia," Zhou Xing Chen looked at her, taking her hand. "The reason why I fled the marriage was to help Xia Qin'er and chase you out of the Zhou Mansion. It was just to let you see your own heart."

"What I want is Liang Jia who knows that she loves me, the real Liang Jia, and not my mother's puppet."

Liang Jia froze. She didn't know how to react. Did she really love him?

What she didn't know was that she had pushed Zhou Xing Chen away and ran out of the room in a fluster. When she lifted her eyes, she saw the smiling face of Xia Qin'er.

Xia Qin'er was indeed wearing the same wedding dress as him. At this moment, her long eyebrows were slanted and her eyes were bright.

Xia Qin'er was slightly surprised to see Liang Jia coming out of the locker room, but she was in a particularly good mood when she saw her pale face.

Xia Qin'er walked over with a smile. "Liang Jia? Are you coming to my wedding too? " Her tone was not friendly.

At this moment, Zhou Xing Chen came out of his room. "Qin'er, why have you come out? Go back and take a seat. The wedding is about to begin."

When Xia Qin'er saw Zhou Xing Chen come out, her gaze roamed the two of them for a moment before returning to her usual cute and empathetic self.

"Alright. Xing Chen, let's go."

As she watched them disappear into the distance, tears welled up in Liang Jia's eyes.

Was Zhou Xing Chen really going to marry Xia Qin'er? She had always thought that the reason for her resistance was because she didn't like Xia Qin'er. But now, it seemed that if what Zhou Weiqing had said was true, was it because of her love for him? Liang Jia did not understand

At this time, a limping figure appeared at the corner.

It was Ning Li Han. Although he tried his best to cover it up, he could still see the limp in his footsteps.

Liang Jia frowned. What was he here for?

He really shouldn't have appeared at this wedding.

"Miss Liang, you must have had your heart broken again, right?"

Liang Jia was annoyed in her heart. She only gave him a slight glance and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Ning Laihan.

"Miss Liang." He turned around and walked in front of Liang Jia. "The enemy of our enemy is our friend. Regarding our previous proposal, does Miss Liang have the answer in her heart right now?"

Liang Jia laughed softly, "Who is the enemy? Who was the enemy of the enemy? I have long forgotten about the previous proposal. I don't understand what you're talking about.

Upon being rejected once more, Ning Lai Han's eyes darkened: "Join hands with me to deal with Zhou Xing Chen."

"Impossible." Liang Jia refused without even thinking.

"If you don't cooperate, I will destroy you."

Liang Jia's heart turned cold.

"What Zhou Xing Chen cares about the most is you. Destroying you would be the same as destroying him." As Ning Lenghan spoke these vicious words in a gloomy tone, Liang Jia, on the other hand, was extremely shocked.

Zhou Xing Chen cared about her?

"Ning Lenghan, you really are a lingering spirit." Zhou Xing Chen suddenly appeared.

Ning Qianhan blanked for a moment. It was clear that she hadn't expected Zhou Weiqing, who had already left, to return.

Zhou Xing Chen lightly glanced at Ning Lihan's lame leg, "You really don't remember to eat or fight."

Ning Tianhan's expression wasn't friendly, and he didn't dare to argue with Zhou Xing Chen. She glared fiercely at Liang Jia and said, "Think about it!" He limped away.

"What is he saying to you?" Zhou Xing Chen turned to ask her.

"Just some boring words …" Liang Jia disapprovingly waved her hand.

Zhou Xing Chen stroked his chin, staring fixedly at Liang Jia. "However, I think there's something he said that's very true."

"What?"

"You really should think about it." Zhou Xing Chen leaned over and whispered into her ear. "Before the wedding ends, I'll wait for you."

Finished speaking, he left Liang Jia stunned on the spot.

Recovering from her shock, Liang Jia went outside to the lawn. She repeatedly combed through what had happened in her heart. Everything from before flashed before her eyes like a passing lantern …

After an unknown period of time, the auditorium resounded with the music of etiquette. The solemn and solemn voice was like a clear spring, enlightening her.

It suddenly dawned on her that she loved Zhou Xing Chen. Since she was young, Liang Wenrui had taught her to love him, and Liang Jia had mistaken that feeling for a disguise.

Since that was the case, she couldn't. She couldn't let Zhou Xing Chen and Xia Ying'er be together.

Liang Jia lifted her skirt and took off her high heels, rushing towards the auditorium.
