Chapter 191
A hush fell over the room .
All words had failed Sis Ke .
She was fully aware of the serious consequences of An Xiaxia identifying herself as a sasaeng fan .
The public would forget about her after a while if she was lucky . Otherwise, they would dig up everything about her and expose her real identity . She would end up living in that shadow for the rest of her life .
In order to protect one person, she had to ruin another . Lu Ke had made that happen more times than she could count and she had been iron-hearted enough to rationalize all of them .
However, this time, she was speechless at the question of a 16-year-old .
“Xiaxia, don’t you like Yize?” Sis Ke managed to force out a smile .
An Xiaxia bit her lip . “I… I don’t know . Sis Ke, could you give me some time to think about it…”
She didn’t want to lie, but she didn’t want anything to happen to Sheng Yize, either .
Her life was only just beginning . Was it going to end like this now?
An Xiaxia rose to her feet, bowed to Sis Ke with tears welling up in her eyes, and headed upstairs .
Sis Ke sighed, pitying the girl despite herself .
An Xiaxia went up the stairs and found He Jiayu on the landing .
He rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to listen in . ”
An Xiaxia shook her head and the tears began to roll down her cheeks . She wiped them away with her sleeve immediately .
He Jiayu gently passed her a handkerchief .
An Xiaxia took it, looking a little stiff . Her little face then looked up and she said, “He Jiayu, I don’t know what to do… I don’t want to ruin Sheng Yize . I’m sorry… so sorry… I really don’t know… I can’t think…”
“Don’t cry . It’s not your fault . ” He Jiayu comforted her in a mild voice . He had planned to stop Sis Ke as soon as he had overheard the conversation .
He knew Sheng Yize’s feelings for An Xiaxia too well . Even if An Xiaxia agreed with the idea, Sheng Yize would still make a hell of a scene .
“Go take a shower and have a good sleep, like nothing happened . When you wake up again, everything will be gone . Yize and the rest of us are here for you . ” He Jiayu rubbed An Xiaxia’s hair as if he was the big brother from next door . An Xiaxia nodded and stumbled back to her room .
He Jiayu went back to the third floor and saw Sheng Yize making a phone call .
“Find out who did it and let me know . ”
“…”
The knot between his eyebrows loosened a little after hanging up . He Jiayu asked, “You got it under control? Who did you go to?”
Sheng Yize smiled wryly . “Gu Zichen . ”
“I thought so . ” He Jiayu smiled and said, “Xiaxia is not doing well… She was crying . And Sis Ke asked her to admit she was a sasaeng fan… and that she forced herself on you…”
Sheng Yize frowned again and cursed under his breath . “That little idiot!”
“Listen to me . If you really like her, tell her and take her out in the open . Don’t sneak around as if it’s some unspeakable thing . ” He Jiayu sounded resigned, at which Sheng Yize replied with a dark face, “I don’t want to make her do anything she doesn’t want . ”
“You’re weren’t… rejected, were you?” He Jiayu speculated .
Sheng Yize chose to keep silent and avoid the question .
Heavy footsteps came up the stairs and someone else arrived with a dark face . With an expressionless face, he said, “Sheng Yize, do you know how many years you can get for committing an indecent act? What about sexual harassment? Abducting a minor? Which one do you want, the court or the police station?”
Such piercing words could only come from none other than An Yibei .
Sheng Yize sounded apologetic . “I’ll make it go away as soon as possible . ”
An Yibei snorted, his overbearing manner saying, “I’m having your head on a platter if not . ”
Chi Yuanfeng suddenly rushed out of his room holding his phone . “Wow, all of the news on Xiaxia and Brother Yize are gone!”
