Chapter 23 controlling desire

"What's wrong?" Huo Jing Yan who was walking out of the bathroom frowned as he looked at the woman on the bed. Why did she look so sad the moment she woke up?

Ye Zi Xuan was shocked for a moment. She lifted her wet eyes and realized that he had not left.

At that moment, a hint of joy flashed through his eyes.

But soon, the aching pain in her body reminded her of some kind of deal. She lowered her eyes and thought of something. She asked softly, "Can I go out for a walk today?"

These few days, her good friend Chen Xi was constantly on the phone, but without Huo Jing Yan's permission, she had no way of going out. Thus, the two of them had not seen each other for a week. Chen Xi was very worried about her.

Huo Jing Yan shot a glance at her and noticed her low mood. He wondered if she was always locked up, so he was a little unhappy.

"If you want to go out, then go for a walk. Come back before nightfall. Accompany me to a banquet tonight."

She was startled but quickly nodded.

The more noble one's status was, the more society there would be. The reason Huo Jing Yan helped her, shouldn't it be because he lacked a social media companion?

Ye Zi Xuan laughed at herself.

Because he could go and see Chen Xi, Ye Zi Xuan's mood became better. A smile also appeared on her delicate face. Her fair skin had a tinge of pink, making her appear beautiful and charming.

Huo Jing Yan sat on the sofa and watched her busy himself. When he had a brilliant smile on his face, the light in his eyes suddenly deepened, his lips puckered into a line, but he did not say a single word.

His heart, however, felt uncontrollable at this moment. Even though it was tied to her side, it still felt uncontrollable.

However, no matter how difficult it was to control, he still had to do so!

Sitting on the taxi, Ye Zi Xuan called Chen Xi early. The two of them agreed to meet at the Starbucks coffee shop downtown.

When he thought about how he hadn't seen Chen Xi for so long, Ye Zi Xuan couldn't help but feel a lot of unspeakable emotions, as if there were a lot of grievances that he wanted to talk to his best friend about.

When he saw Chen Xi and even before he made a move, Chen Xi had already hugged her with moist eyes and said: "Xuan Xuan, I'm worried sick of where you've been these past few days."

Hearing Chen Xi's words, Ye Zi Xuan also hugged her tightly, a trace of emotion flashing through her phoenix eyes.

After they returned to their seats, the two of them ordered some coffee with excited expressions on their faces.

In the end, Chen Xi opened her mouth first and asked: "Xuan Xuan, where have you been these past few days? I was looking for you, but neither the school nor the hospital saw you. "

Hearing Chen Xi's worried words, Ye Zi Xuan felt a bit of remorse, but she didn't know how to start a conversation about her and Huo Jing Yan.

When he thought about how his classmates in school knew he had sold his body out, Ye Zi Xuan was really afraid that her best friend would look at her with that dirty eyes. Just thinking about that scene made her feel pain to the point of having trouble breathing.

"Xuan Xuan, Xuan Xuan..."

"Huh?" Ye Zi Xuan regained her senses, looked at Chen Xi with a worried gaze, and stammered: "T-that time when I went to the hospital to see my father, I coincidentally met a kind-hearted person. He was willing to help my father overturn the case, so I have been staying with him for the past few days."

"Xuan Xuan, could that person have lied to you? You must not trust others. " Chen Xi knew that for the sake of Uncle Ye, Ye Zi Xuan could pay any price. But exactly because of this foolish thought of hers, Chen Xi was even more worried that she would do something stupid, in the future, it would be too late for him to regret.

Ye Zi Xuan looked at Chen Xi gratefully and shook her head. She intertwined her fingers and struggled to open her mouth: "He, he is a good person."

Seeing his good friend in such a difficult situation, Chen Xi mistook him for Uncle Ye's old friend and did not ask any further questions.

"Xuan Xuan, don't be too sad. I heard that Uncle Ye's case has already been appealed, and the court is currently retrying the case. I believe that there will definitely be a good result in the end.

Ye Zi Xuan nodded, the appeal was the only thing she could do to comfort her.

"Thank you, Chen Xi."

"Why do you keep telling me to thank you? Xuan Xuan, didn't we already say it? You don't have to say that to be your best friend. " Chen Xi purposely pretended to be angry and said.

Ye Zi Xuan revealed a smile and said quickly: "Alright, alright, I won't say it, I won't thank you again."

It was only until this sentence that Chen Xi recovered. She thought of something and said in a low voice, "Last week, when I went back to school, I found out why your father was injured in prison."

"What's the reason?" Ye Zi Xuan had always been worried about her father's injuries, and had always kept her at a loss. She had clearly already given her so much money, yet the people from the prison still dared to act against her father.

"It's Lin Qian Ni. Her father is the Warden. She was talking bad about you all over the school, and I happened to be in the bathroom and I heard her talking about it to her friends. The more Chen Xi said, the angrier she got. At that time, if she was not weak, I really wanted to throw the dirty water from the bathroom onto her body to help Xuan Xuan vent her anger.

Ye Zi Xuan didn't expect that the culprit behind her back would actually be Lin Qian Ni. When she thought that her grudge with her fellow classmates caused her father to suffer in prison, her heart felt even worse.

But as for Lin Qian Ni, she would definitely remember this matter.

"One day, I will repay this debt to her."

"Yes!" Xuan Xuan, I believe in you. You're prettier than her, and you're more talented. Once your father's matter is settled, I believe that you can definitely become an outstanding director. At that time, let's see who dares to slander you! " Chen Xi said with bright eyes.

However, when he brought up his previous dream again, Ye Zi Xuan no longer had that hope. Even if he settled his father's matter, he would probably stay in the prison.

And her life was no longer in his hands.

Seeing that Ye Zi Xuan's eyes were gloomy, Chen Xi secretly blamed herself for not bringing up the matter. At this time, Ye Zi Xuan's mind was focused on Uncle Ye's matters, she was afraid that she did not have the mood to talk about it.

"Xuan Xuan, why don't you come to a banquet with me tonight? I heard that there are a lot of famous people and some famous lawyers at the banquet. Chen Xi looked at Ye Zi Xuan, and kindly recommended.

Ye Zi Xuan knew that Chen Xi had good intentions, but she could only reject him because when they left the room, Huo Jing Yan had already said that she had to accompany him to the banquet at night.

"Sorry, Chen Xi, I have something that I need to do tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you."

"Xuan Xuan, this is a good opportunity! Are you sure you don't want to go? "

"I really have no choice, I really feel …"

"Forget it, don't say thank you to me. Xuan Xuan, I have already said it, don't say it between us." Chen Xi helplessly cut Ye Zi Xuan off, and a look of regret flashed across her face.
