Chapter 1500: 1500
Jin Rongyan said, “You don’t actually have to stay at the dormitory . It’s so near from home . ”
“I’ll come home after the contest . Saves me the hassle of traveling to and fro . ”
Jin Rongyan remarked, “How lazy can you get? It’s such a short distance . ”
“You don’t have a girlfriend right now, do you?” she asked at the thought of Li Xiaoxiao’s words .
“No, I’m too busy with work for a girlfriend . ”
“Stop using work as an excuse . Ji Gui said that you’re carrying a torch for someone but you haven’t had the chance to confess to her yet . Is she your colleague?” asked Long Xiaoxi .
She could not think of anyone else apart from his colleagues . After all, he probably did not have the time to meet other girls .
“She’s a classmate of mine from university and she does work in the same hospital as me too . I’ve never had the chance to confess to her because she’s always had a boyfriend . ”
Long Xiaoxi looked at him and asked, “Are you waiting for her to break up with her boyfriend before you’d be willing to confess?”
“I don’t know . ”
“My friend said that she’s in love with you . ”
Jin Rongyan said with a straight face, “Don’t you find her to be very superficial and casual?”
“Love at first sight does happen . ”
“I don’t have a good impression of her . ”
Long Xiaoxi shrugged her shoulders and said, “You’ll only get to know her better after interacting with her more often . ”
“Well, I don’t feel like interacting with her . ”
Jin Rongyan pulled over at an entertainment joint .
When she alighted from the car, she asked, “Is your brother here too?”
“Yeah . ”
“From now on, I must ask you guys beforehand if he’s joining us . ”
Jin Rongyan smiled and said, “He’s been very busy lately too . It’s rare for him to have the time to hang out with us . Since you can’t stand the sight of him at all, why don’t you just ignore his presence?”
Long Xiaoxi stuck her thumb up and said, “Good idea, I shall do just that . ”
The two of them entered and walked toward a private room . Long Xiaoxi took a deep breath and opened the door .
To her surprise, there were other women inside whom she did not recognize .
She looked at Jin Rongyan and asked, “What’s going on? Why are there strangers?”
“You’ll have to ask Ji Gui . I have no idea . ”
Long Xiaoxi shifted her gaze onto Ji Gui, who was walking toward her with a microphone in hand . He put his arm around her shoulder and said softly, “These girls are undergraduates I’ve invited . They’re fun-loving and bubbly . Don’t mind them, we’ll play and enjoy ourselves . ”

Glaring daggers at him, Long Xiaoxi wished she could kill him with her gaze . Without another word, she took a seat on the couch beside Jin Rongyan . She subconsciously leaned back against the couch and took a casual glance at the spot opposite her, only to make eye contact with Jin Yiheng .
He was sitting on the couch with a cold and aloof expression on his face and a cigarette between his slender fingers . He kept his eyes fixed on her for a long time . Peeved by the way he was staring at her, Long Xiaoxi questioned, “What are you looking at?”
“You . ”
“You’re nuts . ” Long Xiaoxi looked away and gulped a large glass of beer, after which she instantly regretted her decision .
Her stomach could not tolerate cold foods because of her gastritis .
As expected, her stomach began churning the moment she downed the entire glass of beer and a sudden discomfort arose .
However, she managed to bear with it and the discomfort did not last for long .
They proceeded to sing, chat, and play with some cards .
After winning herself a large wad of cash, Long Xiaoxi smiled and said, “Seems like I didn’t come here for nothing . ”
“Since when did you get so good at cards?” Ji Gui asked, feeling the pinch .
“I don’t know, maybe I just got lucky tonight . It’s getting late, I have to go home now . Rongyan, are you leaving too?”
“Let’s go, I have to go to work tomorrow morning . ”
He stood up and put on his coat before exiting the room together with Long Xiaoxi . As soon as they left, Jin Yiheng followed suit .
Just as Long Xiaoxi was about to get inside Jin Rongyan’s car, Jin Yiheng grabbed her and tried to pull her away . However, he did not manage to do so successfully .

After exchanging blows for a while, Jin Yiheng realized that her martial arts skills had improved tremendously .
At last, Long Xiaoxi got inside Jin Rongyan’s car and left while Jin Yiheng drove closely behind .
Upon arriving at Wei Ni Estate, Jin Yiheng again stopped her from leaving . “Let’s have a chat . ”
“There’s nothing for us to talk about . ”
“There’s a lot for us to talk about . ”
“I don’t want to talk to you . I’ve already made things clear to you previously . Didn’t you hear me?” she snapped, trying to push him away .
He grabbed her hand tightly and said, “Let’s get married . ”
Long Xiaoxi felt that he was out of his mind .
“W… what?”
“Let’s get married . ”
Long Xiaoxi rebuked, “Haven’t you had enough? Haven’t you toyed with my feelings enough yet? Do you still want to continue?”
“I won’t do so again from now on . ”
“I don’t believe you . Stop pestering me, you’re making me feel so repulsed,” she said, staring at him .
However, her heart had wavered after hearing him initiate marriage .

She returned to her room, flabbergasted and emotional . She felt as if she was about to lose her mind .
After some thought, she decided to go to her parents’ room .
She informed them about what Jin Yiheng had said to her .
“What are your thoughts?” Long Tianze asked .
“Why should I let a loony play me like a fool?”
“Ever since you left for abroad, he really didn’t have another girlfriend . Your mother can vouch for that too . However, I don’t get it at all . Doesn’t he see you as his younger sister? That’s the reason he gave for canceling the engagement too . Yet he wants to marry you again . Which lunatic would marry his sister? Well, unless he doesn’t actually see you as his sister . ”
Long Xiaoxi lay down on her parents’ bed and said, “This time, I’m not going to let him manipulate me anymore . I don’t know if he’s just proposing to me out of guilt or what, but I’m not going to let him have his way . ”
Mei Yangyang smiled and said, “The decision lies with you . You have more options now . However, Xiaoxi, be honest with me . Do you really not fancy him anymore?”
“I don’t fancy him anymore!” she exclaimed angrily .
Mei Yangyang expressed assent and said, “Just reject him and cut him off from your life, then . It’s better that way . You two will marry different people in the future . No one can force you if you’re unwilling . ”
Although Long Xiaoxi knew that her mother was right, she was stuck in a dilemma .
When she returned to her room, she decided to take a hot bath . As soon as she sat inside the bathtub, the lights went out all of a sudden .
Long Xiaoxi stood up and got out of the bathtub slowly . She fumbled around for her towel and walked out after grabbing it . The room was still warm although the heater had been switched off because of the power outage .
The moment she stepped foot out of the bathroom, she was hugged from behind .
