Lin Xiaxian was rebuffed by me, and for a moment her face stiffened before she forced a smile and began to explain.
"Miss Shen has misunderstood my intentions. I was merely being kind. Since Miss Shen does not appreciate it, let's pretend I never said anything."
I didn't continue with Lin Xiaxian's topic; instead, I looked up into Cheng Yu's eyes and asked calmly, "Mr. Cheng, there are no problems now, right?"
If he could be with Lin Xiaxian, why couldn't I find myself a new backer?
The day I saw him standing with Lin Xiaxian after the fire, my heart felt as if it had been gouged out, leaving a gaping emptiness.
In front of many people, Cheng Yu had said that I was just a plaything he kept. Now I knew my place in his heart and would not overestimate it again.
Cheng Yu's face was grim, and he didn't step aside but instead watched me warily.
