Falling For The Possessive CEO

Chapter 29

The moment those words left Xu Xinya lips, everyone paused.

"What post? You are clearly twisting the words to entrap me... Xu Xinya, even after your family fell, I had never looked down upon you. Is his how you repay me?" Shen Changying tried to appear calm. 

But there was an undertone of panic in her voice.

Yin Yu picked up on that undertone...

Shen Changying panicked even more as she quickly glanced at Wang Yuefeng, motioning him to delete the post before they were caught. 

He coughed lightly and stealthily disappeared from the scene.

However, their minor interaction didn't go unnoticed by others.

Including Yin Yu.

Before he could delete the post, many had downloaded it.

"This is..."

Other's couldn't tell the difference but Yin Yu who had been at Sheng Changying place countless times could easily tell.

Xu Xinya looked panicked. Her eyes were as if she said something she shouldn't have said. 

"Ying Jie, I am sorry if I offended you. Yin Yu, please treat my words as if I didn't say them." Bowing slightly, Xu Xinya fled from the scene as if terrified.

"You...!"

What was the use of her words now? 

Yin Yu had already seen the photo. Her face darkened.

Shen Changying and Wang Yuefeng were done for.

...

At a distance, Xiao Yi grabbed Xu Xinya, dragged her into the cafeteria, and threw her into an empty chair.

The violent action gathered curious glances from onlookers. They gave casual looks before minding their own businesses.

One minute passed.

Two...

Three...

"Can you stop glaring now?"

"Who are you and what did you do to Xu Xinya?"

"Such a cliche line. You could have come up with a better one." Xu Xinya casually shrugged off Xiao Yi's comment.

Glancing at her friend's nonchalant expressions, Xia Yi sighed. Taking a seat by her side, she asked with concern. "It's been a month since I last saw you. You feel so different..."

Xu Xinya smiled. "When circumstances force people, they have no choice but to adapt." A faint sadness flashed in her eyes. However, it quickly morphed into determination. "But I see it as a good chance. At least, I have been awakened from the ignorance I used to live in the past... If all of this never happened, my family fall and that Lu Mingyu incident, I would never have learned..."

A strange feeling crept into Xiao Yi's heart as she glanced at Xu Xinya.

Her Ya'er had matured.

During the past year, she had indeed matured.

The once playful, lively, frivolous girl had now transformed into a cunning, unscrupulous, determined woman...

From the time she had been determined to get the top ten in the University Entrance Exam, she had changed...

No one could have guessed that the previously careless Xu Xinya could possess such a side to her.

In fact, Xiao Yi was happy to see the change in Xu Xinya...

"How has he been to you?" Xiao Yi suddenly asked.

Xu Xinya paused. Earlier to this, they had talked on the phone. Xu Xinya had been avoiding the specific question.

"Well, he allowed me to join the university Is it not good enough?" Xu Xinya answered in a roundabout way.

"What about 'You are going to regret this moment for the rest of your life' thing?"

"Um... Vanished into thin air?"

Before leaving for Lu family residence Xu Xinya had been constantly worried, appearing like a wilted flower. It was as if all the life had left her soul. She had been terrified of the 'Unknown'.

But right now, her complexion had improved. It was clear that Lu Mingyu had been lenient to her...

Observing this, Xiao Yi had eased a bit.

But Xu Xinya was still not giving a clear answer to her.

"Are you asking for a beating. Answer me honestly or I'm seriously going to make you call me grandma!"

"Seriously, what is your obsession with being called grandma?" Xu Xinya chuckled but paused when she felt an intense glared. She sighed in defeat. "Alright. I have told you he has been good."

"Did he... do something to you?"

"What?"

"What has caused you to change so suddenly? I am so suspicious. I mean did he... try to force yourself on you?"

"Bullshit! Do you think I can be forced by someone? Who do you think I am?"

Xu Xinya was suddenly reminded of that incident that night he had visited her room. He had indeed kissed her. Although the kiss was deep, it was gentle. Strangely now, thinking of that kiss, Xu Xinya didn't feel any disgust. 

The handsome face of Lu Mingyu appeared in her mind as he held her firmly in his lap.

Strange hotness crawled up to her face. 

"Wait a minute... Why are you blushing? He really did something to you!"

"Yi'er shut the f**k up!" Xu Xinya was more astonished than Xiao Yi at the response her body gave.

"Not good! Absolutely not good, Ya'er why did you blush? Are you falling for him?"

"Xiao Yi... have you lost your marbles? He is keeping me captive. Do you think I am a secret masochist? Or do you think I have Stockholm?"

"Then why did you blush?!"

"I did not! Yi'er, you are the one asking for a beating now!"

And so, they continued their banter.
