Chapter 235: 235, Entanglement, without end.
Song Qinghuan quickly learned about these rumors, obviously from Yu Yang.
She was taken aback upon hearing them, all she wanted to say to those spreading the rumors was, ‘Your IQ is seriously lacking, please recharge as soon as possible.’
Bai Rubing looked at Song Qinghuan for the nth time, leaving with a thoughtful look on her face. While she wanted to ask Song Qinghuan something, she ended up not saying anything at all.
However, when Song Qinghuan spoke to her after that, she was noticeably colder, behaving differently than usual, leaving Song Qinghuan confused.
After work, Song Qinghuan felt particularly listless.
As she left the company, she saw Zhan Cheng approaching her with a bouquet of flowers, grinning ear to ear, “Huanhuan.”
Though Zhan Cheng was hopelessly in love with her and a decent person overall, his actions that day really repulsed her.
There was nothing initially wrong with them having a meal together, but he made it seem as if she was cheating on her husband.
Worse still, he had the audacity to act as some sort of moral high ground, calling her a slut, almost driving her to her wit’s end.
Not waiting for him to finish, Song Qinghuan interrupted, “I’m sorry, but I have things to attend to. I’ll be going first.”
With that, she tried to sidestep him and leave.
But Zhan Cheng quickly stepped ahead and easily blocked her way, “Huanhuan, I was wrong that day, shouldn’t have said those things to you. Can’t you forgive me this once and stop being angry?”
Right now, Zhan Cheng was giving Song Qinghuan nothing but a headache.
She had tried all strategies with him, but couldn’t shoo him away. Exasperated, she finally said, “I don’t care about things that don’t matter to me. Can you step aside? I really have something to do.”
Qinghuan’s attitude hurt Zhan Cheng deeply, “Huanhuan, do you truly detest me that much?”
Song Qinghuan replied with a look of desperation, “Zhan Cheng, can you stop being so stubborn? The other day, when I said that something might happen in two years, I was just confused and didn’t think it through. I apologize to you. Now let me make it clear, there’s no chance for us, not even after a divorce. We’re incompatible, besides, I’m somebody else’s wife now. Please stop bothering me, it’s going to hurt your image.”
When he refused to let her pass, she had no choice but to circumvent him again and leave.
But before she could, Zhan Cheng, in his emotional state, grabbed hold of Song Qinghuan’s shoulder, “Huanhuan… I admit I was a bit crazy that day, that’s why I said those things. Please give me another chance. I really like you. I was doing that because I love you.”
A mix of anxiety and annoyance, Song Qinghuan struggled to push him away, stepping back a few paces, “Zhan Cheng, stop doing this, okay? We just do not suit each other!”
“Huanhuan, you haven’t even tried being with me. How can you say we’re not suitable? I know you’re mad at me. I was indeed wrong, and you have the right to be mad…”
Hearing Zhan Cheng’s uninterrupted words made Song Qinghuan utterly annoyed, especially since they were at the company’s entrance. She snapped, interrupting his rambling, “Enough, Zhan Cheng!”
Noticing people starting to point and stare, she feared the rumors would get out of control.
Not wanting to stick around any longer, she rushed away in a panic.
But because of her haste, she tripped and sprained her ankle.
“Ah!”, she cried out in pain, falling to the ground. Zhan Cheng quickly rushed to her side, picking her up off the ground.
This caused even more of a stir. As Song Qinghuan looked up, she saw a crowd of people gathered at the entrance of the company, each with a different expression: surprise, amusement, mockery, anger, and so on…
