Chapter 341 - It's Been Very Hard On You
In another part in Y City...
Shi An Na reread Lu Xun's post on his company's social media again and again. Her hand gripped her phone tightly and her eyes reddened with anger.
When she could no longer bear the feeling, Shi An Na threw the phone on the ground. The phone bounced once and finally lay on the marbled floor.
Seeing that her screen had cracked, Shi An Na's legs turned weak. Her body slid down the cold floor and her face turned pale as if she had lost hope of everything.
Almost a week has passed after the first time that the blogger had posted the rumor and information about Song Xing Xing. When she saw that Lu Xun had not taken any action, Shi An Na had thought that the man no longer cared about that girl.
Her heart was telling her that Lu Xun was not serious about Song Xing Xing. She had convinced herself that Song Xing Xing was merely Lu Xun's plaything. In the end, he was going to get bored, and finally, Lu Xun would return to her.
It was unexpected that Lu Xun would finally take action when this matter had blown up. Blue Media Group as well as a few major media news had addressed this matter and published Lu Xun's clarification about his fiance.
Reading his confession to Song Xing Xing made her heartache.
What was unexpected was that, that girl's background.
Shi An Na had never thought that the person she had always called a country bumpkin would turn out to be a granddaughter of a reputable politician.
Shi An Na was embarrassed. Her face grew hot and that feeling was as if someone had slapped her hard on both cheeks.
She had never thought that the girl's background was better than her. The circle that Song Xing Xing belonged to was a place that Shi An Na could only dream of. However, someone like her couldn't make a connection with the people in Song Xing Xing's circle.
Previously, Shi An Na had prepared to do all sorts of things if Lu Xun continued to stay with Song Xing Xing. However, she realized that Song Xing Xing was someone that she could not afford to provoke. With the girl's background, it would be Shi An Na who had to suffer instead.
Still...
She was not content!
This was not the way it was supposed to end!
Lu Xun was supposed to return to her side. Then, the two of them were going to stay happily together until they both get old.
But now, someone had appeared by his side and there was nothing she could do about it.
Shi An Na continued to stare into space. No one knew what was going on in her mind at this time.
...
Song Xing Xing's phone did not stop ringing after Lu Xun had posted his clarification.
Liu Yu Sheng saw their big boss's post on social media and could not hide her surprise upon learning that her friend was the granddaughter of an influential politician.
Initially, Liu Yu Sheng was unhappy that Song Xing Xing had hidden such a big matter. However, once she heard her explanation, Liu Yu Sheng began to understand the reason why Song Xing Xing had wanted to keep a low profile.
Then, Huo Yun Chen had called to check with her. Just like the others, Huo Yun Chen was surprised upon learning about Song Xing Xing's background. The Little Star he knew was always low-key and complaining how she did not have money to buy materials in-game.
Hearing that this girl was actually an heiress of an influential family, Huo Yun Chen finally figured out that Little Star was actually a cheapskate.
When Lu Xun arrived at home, Song Xing Xing was still on the phone, answering her friends' inquiries about her live life.
Everyone in her circle had thought that she was still single. To hear that President Lu Xun of NEXT Group addressing her as his fiance was quite shocking.
Song Xing Xing turned around when she heard Mr. Fluffball's meowing. Her eyes widened in surprise upon noticing that Lu Xun had returned. After exchanging a few more words with her friend, Song Xing Xing hang up the phone and ran over to Lu Xun.
The moment she arrived in his arms, Lu Xun lowered his head and caught her lips into a kiss. His lips were massaging hers softly as if trying to comfort her for the grievance that she had to suffer for the past few days.
He had seen how ruthless the people has been scolding her for the past few days.
However, the girl had remained stubborn and had wanted to wait until this matter had reached its boiling point before she will take action. With this one move, those who had criticized her had shut up. The people changed their opinion and had apologized.
Although Song Xing Xing had said that she did not care about some stranger's opinion, Lu Xun could not help but feel distressed for her.
He wanted her to have the best of everything but unexpectedly, his past relationship had caused her trouble. Lu Xun felt that he was an incompetent lover. He was supposed to protect her but could only watch as those people criticize her.
This was supposed to be a private matter between Lu Xun and his ex. However, Shi An Na had wanted to bring it out to the public. Now that everyone had known about this matter, it would be hard for her to come out with another trick.
After all, even though Shi An Na had revealed some information about her, Song Xing Xing had not mentioned anything about Shi An Na.
However, a few bored netizens who were good at investigating things found out about Lu Xun's past relationship. They pointed out that the person who was said to be Lu Xun's college sweetheart was someone called Miss Shi. Upon investigating, they found out that everything was just as Lu Xun had said. The woman was married and had a kid.
From the beginning, there was no such thing as the third party in their relationship.
Some of them began to feel that it was strange how President Lu had not clarified this matter from the beginning and later, came out with a few theories.
The two of them pulled away after a while. Song Xing Xing looked at him in the eyes and flashed him an assuring smile. "I'm fine. Now that the public was aware of what was going on, Miss Shi would not dare to cause us trouble."
"Xing Xing, I'm sorry. It's been very hard on you." Lu Xun sighed. Then, he gathered her into his arms and hugged her tightly. His chin rested on her head as he inhaled her sweet scent.
The two of them continued to stay that way for a long time.. No one speak a word but it felt as if they both understood what they wanted to say to each other.
