Chapter 275: missing her like a tidal wave

Chu Xia almost exploded from Sikong Jue's anger. The corners of her lips trembled, but she forced out a smile. "Yes, I am such a person, didn't you know that?"

She deliberately angered Sikong Jue. She wouldn't be Chu Xia if he didn't boil with anger.

Sikong Jue's throat was filled with a bitterness. D*mn that woman!

His confused mind twisted and steamed. He pushed the woman against the crystal wall with his hand. His eyes were filled with hatred, as if he was going to eat her alive!

Chu Xia was pushed against the crystal wall by the man, and her head struck the glass.

Chu Xia's heart was suddenly in her throat. She shoved the man's shoulder with her hand, but she couldn't push him away.

"As a man, I don't think it's graceful to force a woman! That can only prove how pathetic your position in her heart is!"

A man's voice was heard at the end of the corridor.

Sikong Jue looked up and saw Ming Tai walking over.

His brows sank. He was despised by this Ming Tai. This was a matter of a man's dignity. "She's my woman. She's been with me since she was eighteen. Whatever I want, that's it! What do you care?"

"The past doesn't mean the present. After all, you have to give it a try before you know if you like it or not. Chu Xia, come here!" Ming Tai held his hand out to the woman.

Chu Xia was about to leave when Sikong Jue held her down. She slapped Sikong Jue's face.

"Let go of me! Sikong Jue, listen to me carefully. I don't want anything to do with you anymore!"

The crisp sound of the slap echoed around the room. Chu Xia was furious. She had lost all hope towards this man. He had trampled on her dignity time and time again.

When she was pregnant, he'd said that she was not worthy of giving birth to his child and chased her away. She was now far away from him, and he was still chasing after her, humiliating her in all sorts of ways!

He didn't understand how miserable she was. She couldn't get over that she had actually fallen in love with such a scumbag back then!

She broke free from the man's arm and walked towards Ming Tai.

"Baby, you've been wronged. He doesn't know how to cherish you. It's because he's blind. You're a good girl!" Ming Tai lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

Chu Xia instantly felt like she was about to burst into tears. Just as she was being scolded by a man, there was another man who told her that she was the best girl.

Her heart trembled. She never thought that her life would be so messy. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she couldn't find the words.

Ming Tai was the best man she had ever met!

Ming Tai seemed to be able to read a woman's mind. He pressed his finger on her lips and said, "Needless to say, I know. Let's go eat. There's no need to affect our mood just because of this awful person."

He led Chu Xia to their seats.

Sikong Jue clenched his fists tightly. The sound of his knuckles cracking could be heard in the silent corridor. He didn't want to humiliate her. He just wanted Ming Tai to know that she was his, so that Ming Tai would leave her.

However, he had overlooked the fact that he would hurt Chu Xia if he did that.

She was no longer the girl who chased after him and asked him to marry her.

His heart was beating painfully. He could see how wronged Chu Xia was. He thought that she must hate him terribly...

A sense of defeat that he had never felt before swept through his heart. He had never felt this clear before. No matter what she had become, he still loved her!

Even if she wasn't just his woman!

He strode out of the corridor, wanting to apologize to the woman. Then, he saw Ming Tai giving a crystal rose to Chu Xia.

Chu Xia smiled shyly. Their heads were very close together, so he couldn't hear what they were saying. However, the woman's expression reminded him of the shyness when she told him that she was pregnant and asked him to marry her.

His heart felt like it was being stabbed by a sharp knife. If she had given birth to that child back then, would the outcome have been different?

He strode out of the Crystal Restaurant and drove back to his pharmacy.

Whose child was Jian Jian?

Qin Sheng signed the invitation cards in her office. She needed to invite many dignitaries to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow, so she still needed to pull out the advertisements.

The door of her office was pushed open, and Chu Xia walked in with a crystal rose.

"A limited edition Swarovski crystal rose! Ming Tai gave it to you?" Qin Sheng asked.

Chu Xia blushed. "Yeah, I don't know when he bought it. But he must've bought it off Swarovski's official website."

"You accepted the roses. Are you going to accept Ming Tai?" Qin Sheng asked.

Chu Xia pursed her lips. "Ming Tai is really good. In all these years, he's the first man who doesn't care about my past and says that I'm a good girl!

"He's a perfect prince charming. I can't find a reason to reject him. It's the first time I'm in a relationship where I feel spoiled by a man. Qin Sheng, do you think he'll accept Jian Jian?"

Qin Sheng's brain went black. She couldn't find a reason to reject him? But that was completely different from falling in love with a person...

Falling in love with someone definitely didn't guarantee that the person was perfect...

Love was love, which came with all the flaws of the other party.

However, Qin Sheng knew that it wasn't easy for Chu Xia to accept Ming Tai's pursuit. After all, she had been hurt by Sikong Jue, so it was difficult for her to accept other men.

"I believe that Ming Tai will accept Jian Jian. If he loves you, he will love everything about you. Find a suitable opportunity to tell him."

Chu Xia nodded and her eyes landed on the name on the invitation. "Eh, are you crazy?"
