Chapter 41 -41 Ji Hua and Gong Yining_1
Gong Yining hurriedly propped up her cup, then stood up with an unfocused look in her eyes, “I’m going to the restroom.”
Then, she disappeared from everyone’s sight like she was fleeing.
Mu Feng shook his head again with a silent sigh.
Kang Xiaolan and Yan Yirou, along with Jian Manhui, glared fiercely at Ji Hua, who was frozen in place.
Mu Chuyang, sensing that something was amiss with everyone’s behavior, curiously looked from one person to another.
Meng Can, sitting in a corner watching all this, raised his eyebrows in surprise. It seemed that Ji Hua and this woman named Gong Yining also had some kind of grudge or love-hate relationship.
Ji Hua watched the figure that had vanished before his eyes and chased after her without any hesitation.
Kang Xiaolan anxiously grabbed Mu Feng’s arm, “They won’t get into trouble, will they?”
Mu Feng curved the corners of his lips slightly and said softly, “No, don’t worry. Despite his casual appearance, Ji Hua knows his limits.”
Kang Xiaolan pouted, Limits? If he had any limits, would he have treated Yining like that?
Jian Manhui also said, “We can’t help them with this. Let them sort it out themselves!”
Finally, Mu Chuyang caught on to what was really going on, his mouth agape with shock, “Are you saying, Ji Hua, he and that beauty…” Mu Chuyang was seeing Gong Yining for the first time and didn’t know about her past with Ji Hua.
In his mind, Ji Hua was always surrounded by women like they were clothes, changing them every few days, never wearing the same one twice.
But what had just happened made him see a rare side of Ji Hua, he felt like he had been struck by lightning. The day’s events were enough to completely change his perception of Mu Yingchen and Ji Hua. No, he needed to sit down and calm himself!
Ji Hua pursued in the direction Gong Yining went, for the first time in his life, he was so eager to explain something to a woman.
But he didn’t find her in the restroom; all he could do was follow that direction and continue forward, until at last, he saw her figure in the rest lounge.
Gong Yining’s mind was in a mess, those unbearable memories from a year ago replayed in her mind. Resting her closed eyes on the soft sofa, she mocked her own weakness. Why couldn’t she remain indifferent upon seeing him again?
“Xiaoning.”
Suddenly, the man’s voice sounded right by her ear, and with a start, she opened her reddened eyes to see that wickedly handsome face right in front of her.
She stood up in a panic, trying to control her trembling body, and quietly walked past him.
“Xiaoning, listen to me, please,” Ji Hua suddenly grabbed her hand, speaking urgently, “About that incident, it was my fault, but it wasn’t my intention, I lost control after drinking, it was…”

“Don’t say another word!” Gong Yining suddenly shouted loudly.
She didn’t want to hear, she refused to listen; that was her humiliation, an ache she couldn’t erase.
She had given him her heart, her body, yet she still couldn’t change his philandering ways. She felt resentment, hatred; resentful of his womanizing heart, hating herself for always being so foolish, so weak.
Even after seeing him in the same bed with another woman, and a year had passed, she still couldn’t retrieve the heart she’d lost to him.
“Xiaoning, believe me, I love you,” Ji Hua said, holding her hand firmly.
He never thought he Would stop for a woman, but a year apart, 365 days and nights, was enough to prove that he truly had fallen for the woman before him.
I love you… These five words made Gong Yining’s heart tremble, then she mockingly curled her lips. How could she forget that sweet talk was what he was best at? He likely had said that to countless women!
She was once so naive to believe that every word he said came from his heart. Sometimes, she would stay awake all night, overjoyed by a single endearment he uttered. She gave her all without reservation and regret. Yet, reality slapped her hard, waking her from her beautiful dream, revealing that everything was a lie. She felt like she fell from heaven into hell in an instant, a feeling so painfully unbearable that it pushed her to the brink of collapse.
Therefore, she would no longer believe anything he said, and she planned to guard her shattered heart carefully.
“I will never trust you again,” she said forcefully as she wrestled free from his grasp, step by step, walking back the way she had come.
Ji Hua was truly hurt. He had not expected that, even after he humbled himself to beg her to return, she would reject him so ruthlessly.
Irritated beyond measure, he ran his hands through his stylish hair, heaved a sigh, and slumped defeated onto the sofa.
Who would have thought Ji Hua would see this day—was that woman sent by the heavens to torment him?
Gong Yining had intended to leave directly, but she thought it inappropriate. So, she composed herself, curved her lips into a slight smile, and joined Kang Xiaolan and the rest.
When Kang Xiaolan and the others saw Gong Yining return, they looked at her with concern. Yan Yirou asked softly, “Yining, are you alright?”
Gong Yining forced a smile, “I’m fine. What could possibly be wrong with me?”
“Heh, that’s good then.”
In fact, everyone was curious about Ji Hua’s whereabouts when she returned alone. They wondered if he had managed to catch up with her.
Mu Chuyang kept glancing up frequently, but Ji Hua did not return. His curiosity nagged at him; he wanted to ask Gong Yining if she had seen Ji Hua, but looking at everyone’s expressions, he held back his question.
Mu Feng swirled his wine glass, a smirk playing on his lips. It seemed Ji Hua, the playboy, had finally met his match in Gong Yining and was probably somewhere drowning his sorrows in liquor now.
After a while, Gong Yining announced it was getting late and she needed to leave early. Yan Yirou and Jian Manhui also said they would join her since it seemed unlikely that Su Wanxia would return that night, and there was no point in them staying.
Meng Can also stood up, bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Su, and left the banquet with them.
Suddenly, the table was left with only Mu Feng, Kang Xiaolan, and Mu Chuyang.
“I’ll take Lanlan home. You go find Hua, and don’t let him drink too much,” Mu Feng stood up and said to Mu Chuyang.
Mu Chuyang nodded in agreement and began to search for Ji Hua.
It took him almost 20 minutes to find him. Ji Hua was sitting there, downing drinks one after another.
Mu Chuyang opened his mouth in surprise. He had not expected him to resort to drinking away his sorrows.
“Third brother, stop drinking,” he said.
Mu Chuyang snatched the wine glass from his hand. Ji Hua was not drunk. Recognizing Mu Chuyang, he asked, “What about the others?”
“They all went back. Let’s go home too,” Mu Chuyang replied.
“And her?”
Mu Chuyang knew exactly who he meant by ‘her.’ He blurted out, “She went back with Yan Yirou and that one named Jian Manhui.”
Ji Hua gave a heavy acknowledgment and stood up, “Let’s go.”
Mu Chuyang watched Ji Hua’s retreating figure with a touch of melancholy. He hadn’t expected that a playboy untouched by myriad flowers would reveal such a despondent side. It was indeed an eye-opening revelation for him.
