“Sorry.” Su Zhixi gently said the word.
Ning Yichen was stunned, seeming to not have expected her to bend so quickly.
“Since I’ve apologized, can you let go of me?” she said, smiling.
It was only then that he realized that he was still holding on to her hand.
Her wrist seems too skinny… Ning Yichen did not know why he would suddenly have this thought, and he quickly let go.
The very moment he let go of her, she slapped Su Lianxi in the blink of an eye!
Pak! Following the crisp sound, a red palm mark was imprinted on Su Lianxi’s face.
Holding her burning cheek, Su Lianxi widened her eyes in shock. Ning Yichen was taken aback and boiling with rage too! However, Su Zhixi quickly retreated after slapping Su Lianxi, and the man could not catch her anymore.
“Since I’ve apologized, I had to give her that tight slap to make it worth it.” After saying that, Su Zhixi smiled and left.
Su Lianxi was trembling with rage and her eyes were overflowing with intense hatred. She had the urge to rush up to her sister and take her revenge. However, with Ning Yichen by her side, she could only lower her eyelids and suppress all her anger. She then whimpered, “Yichen…”
The man’s heart was aching terribly. Rage and guilt filled him as he saw the palm mark on her face.
He was in a trance back then and did not manage to stop Su Zhixi in time.
“Lianxi, I’ll take you to the hospital first. I’ll settle this score with her slowly,” he said fiercely.
Only then did Su Lianxi feel slightly better. She continued to say lightly, “Yichen, I wouldn’t have looked for her if I had known this. I treated her as my elder sister, but in her heart, I’m her enemy.”
“You’re just too innocent. Su Zhixi is narrow-minded and hates your mother, so why would she treat you like her younger sister?” He embraced her dotingly.
However, the carefree smile that Su Zhixi had right before she had left was stuck in his mind.
It seemed like she had finally let go of something.
All of a sudden, Ning Yichen felt anxious. That feeling of missing out on something surfaced once again, and he felt seriously perturbed.
He supported Su Lianxi and they left the cafe as he tried to break free of that odd feeling nagging at the back of his mind.

Su Zhixi left that cafe and went back to school.
She felt a searing pain in her right palm. In accordance with Newton’s third law of counteraction, her own palm swelled even though she’d slapped her younger sister.
However, she was feeling greatly refreshed.
She placed her right palm by her lips and blew into it. Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she spotted a familiar silhouette.
She stopped in her tracks and saw Uncle Li, who was in a suit, smiling and walking to her. “Ms. Su, we meet again.”
She hurriedly scanned her surroundings and found a black Bentley under a camphor tree.
She was slightly pissed and replied coldly, “Who are you?”
Uncle Li smiled and replied, “It doesn’t matter who I am. Ms. Su, please get in the car.”
She gritted her teeth and turned around, ignoring him.
He Jingyao was really going overboard! When she helped him last night, did he not promise her that he would pretend not to know her in the future?
As she thought about what happened in the bathroom last night, her face started to flush before she knew it.
