Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Lu Zhanxing: Dare to touch her, just try!
Xun Minzhi had made an effort to dress up for her visit today, and upon entering, she saw Lu Zhanxing looking at her with a smile.
Her heartbeat raced much faster than usual.
Although she was out of patience with Lu Zhanxing, she couldn’t deny that she still very much liked him.
If only Lu Zhanxing was willing to date her, she would give him anything.
“Miss Xun, you’re here. I was just talking about you with Mr. Lu. He’s very grateful for your recommendation,” said the person in charge ingratiatingly.
“No thanks needed, as long as he is happy,” Xun Minzhi responded, her gaze tenderly falling on Lu Zhanxing.
At her words, Lu Zhanxing’s frown deepened more and more.
Xie Ying was afraid that Lu Zhanxing would lose his temper and kept making eye signals to him.
Lu Zhanxing didn’t speak a word, his look growing colder.
If he had known that it was Xun Minzhi who had pulled the strings, he definitely wouldn’t have signed the contract.
But now that the contract was signed, professional ethics forced him to swallow his violent temper and refrain from flipping the table.
Xun Minzhi didn’t deliberately sit next to Lu Zhanxing but chose the seat across from him. With others around, her temper was much more controlled, and she wouldn’t make things difficult for Lu Zhanxing.
During the meal, Lu Zhanxing occasionally chimed in with the person in charge, completely ignoring Xun Minzhi.
Xun Minzhi didn’t throw a tantrum but remained gentle and soft.
Lu Zhanxing sneered inwardly, thinking how convincingly she was playing her part.
It was only when the person in charge was summoned away by a phone call that Xun Minzhi said to Lu Zhanxing, “Can we talk?”
Lu Zhanxing paid her no mind; with the person in charge gone, he had no intention of staying.
“I know I was wrong. I just lost my head because I was jealous, seeing you so close to other women. That’s why I blocked your brand endorsements.”
“This spokesperson role is my way of apologizing to you. Will you please not be angry?”
Xun Minzhi’s gaze boldly fixed on the stone-faced Lu Zhanxing.
“Not angry, just sickened,” retorted Lu Zhanxing, feeling nauseated.
“Why don’t you believe that my feelings for you are genuine?”
“Just because you have genuine feelings for me means I have to like you? Xun Minzhi, the world doesn’t revolve around you!”
“Why don’t you like me? I could marry you. I’m the only child, and eventually, Xinghe Group will be mine. Whatever drama you want to produce, I’ll finance it for you.”
“Xun Minzhi! Are you sick or something? Why am I so unlucky to have crossed paths with you? What do you like about me? I can change, okay?”
Lu Zhanxing would never curse at a woman, but Xun Minzhi really pushed him to the edge.
“I don’t know what it is about you I like, but I just like you. Can’t you stop being nice to that woman, please?”
Xun Minzhi looked at Lu Zhanxing with pitiful eyes, her self-restraint so profound that anyone unaware would think Lu Zhanxing was a scumbag.
Lu Zhanxing was momentarily stunned before he realized that Xun Minzhi was referring to Qiao Yun.
“If you keep being nice to her, I will get angry. Zhanxing, do you want to see her hurt?”
“You dare touch her, just try it!”
Lu Zhanxing’s eyes flashed with ferocity, his face instantly darkening.
Even Xie Ying, who had been quietly observing, was shocked still.
“Are you being fierce to me for her sake?”
Xun Minzhi trembled, never having seen Lu Zhanxing look so ominous.
“I’m just stating the facts,” Lu Zhanxing warned her, not even glancing at the now pale woman, as he slammed the door on his way out.
He feared he wouldn’t be able to control himself and would resort to violence.
“Lu Zhanxing! Stop right there!”
Xun Minzhi’s chest heaved violently, and in a rash move, she flung the teacup.
It struck the door with a smack and shattered into pieces.
Lu Zhanxing strode rapidly down the corridor, with Xie Ying chasing after him.
“Slow down, wait for me!”
Lu Zhanxing’s face remained stern, his inner rage roiling, as if he didn’t hear Xie Ying’s words.
He was repressing his explosive temper, wanting to destroy everything in sight.
