Chapter 229 - Rejection

The meeting with Su Yuancheng made him depressed for many days.

She had thought that there was nothing left for her to lose, but now she knew that her thinking was still not bad enough.

Life always gives people a surprise setback, if not careful, it might sink into depravity.

Wang Chen saw her depression.

In front of some other day's class, Wang Chen invited her out for dinner.

"Jin Yi, I've asked Xiao Qiu to cook the hotpot together with me. You should come too, it's rare for her to come out."

The recent Xiao Qiu had already been pregnant for three months and had finally passed through the "critical period".

After hearing Wang Chen say that he would offer Su Jinyi a hotpot as an offer, he could not help but agree to it.

"Um... "Alright." Although Su Jinyi agreed, her heart was beating like a drum.

Ever since she started working at Wang Chen's company, the bodyguards that He Ruiting had arranged for her never left.

Although Su Jinyi forbade them from disturbing her work, once she had an unexpected event, such as a visit to a client, the bodyguard would always follow behind her without anyone noticing.

After a few days of this, she had gotten used to it. Occasionally, she would stop and turn to her bodyguard, saying, "You've worked hard."

But since she was going out to eat with Wang Chen, she felt that it would be better to greet him.

After agreeing to Wang Chen, she sent a message over.

"I'll go out to eat with my colleagues in a while, and Xiao Qiu as well."

He Ruiting who was usually busy replied instantly.

"Colleagues? Wang Chen, right? "

"Yes."

He Ruiting's message did not come back for quite a while, and only after half an hour did he reply: "Okay, do you want me to remove those six people?"

He Ruiting's reply warmed Su Jinyi's heart, but after thinking for a moment, she replied back, "No need, as long as it does not affect my eating."

In her opinion, this was the case with respect to each other.

But she was wrong.

At dinner, the six bodyguards sat at the table next to them, eating the meat in the pot while glaring at Su Jinyi's table.

Wang Chen sensed something amiss, and asked softly: "Jin Yi, what's beside you is …."

"Sis Jinyi, could it be someone from the Boss He?" Xiao Qiu guessed on the side.

"Don't bother, let's eat." Su Jinyi really wanted to call He Ruiting. Didn't they say that they would not disturb the meal? Now it felt like a prison meal.

She sighed and decided to put up with it.

After a while, the waiter came to perform. Before he could stretch his hand out, he was already frightened by the six people — they all stopped their chopsticks and stared at him, their eyes were like daggers.

The masked little brother could not take it anymore, and quickly pulled at the noodles for Su Jinyi and the others, but there was a commotion as his face was slapped onto the faces of the people behind him.

Puff!

Xiao Qiu finally could not hold it in and laughed out loud.

But Su Jinyi was very angry.

She was prepared to have a good chat with Xiao Qiu and Wang Chen since she was no longer in the mood to continue.

After finishing dinner, she rejected Wang Chen's good intentions to send her home. She immediately got into one of the bodyguards' car and said: "Take me home."

After entering the He family's main gate, Su Jinyi didn't even bother changing her shoes before she headed inside. Her high heels made a "Da Da" sound on the floor.

He Ruiting sat at the dining table, leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

"Boss He, let's talk."

"Alright." He Ruiting put down the thing in his hand, and looked at Su Jinyi for a moment. Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "What? Did you enjoy dinner? "

"Thanks to Boss He, I'm extremely happy."

"That's good."

Su Jinyi scolded in her heart: "Good my ass!"

She took a deep breath and continued: "Boss He, I think it would be best for you to respect me a little. In the future, all of my friends will gather together, I hope that those few people will not follow me."

"No." He Ruiting rejected him flatly.

Su Jinyi felt that it was unreasonable.

Despite being considerate in the afternoon, she took the initiative to remove her bodyguard. Why did she change her mind so completely in just a few hours?

"Why?"

"Because of what happened today, I understand that I still can't let you go out alone."

"He Ruiting!" Su Jinyi directly walked in front of him, "Doing this would only make me hate you even more."

"Sure."

As he spoke, he stood up and stood face to face with Su Jinyi. There was not even half a foot between the two of them.

It had been a long time since he had observed so closely that he was still his nominal wife.

Her eyes were still like stars and lips like a painting. Even though she was angry, her face seemed to like it more and more.

But now, he didn't even have the right to say "I love you".

"He Ruiting, do you really have to do this?" Because of his excitement, Su Jinyi's nose turned red, but in He Ruiting's eyes, she was exceptionally cute.

"I have to."

"Alright."

Disappointed, Su Jinyi turned around, she did not want to argue anymore, but her right hand was held back by He Ruiting who was behind her.

She turned her head, and there was only surprise and anger in her eyes.

"Let go." she said in a commanding tone.

"Let me hold it for a moment." He Ruiting's voice, on the other hand, became much softer. He, who could always be called "invulnerable" in the outside world, sounded so weak and fragile.

"Let go." Su Jinyi's voice was a little softer, but the determination in her voice had not changed in the slightest.

"Jin Yi," He Ruiting took half a step forward, and was practically right behind him, "I want to hug you."

Hearing that, Su Jinyi took a step forward, but held onto her hands tightly. The two of them pulled, and as He Ruiting did not want to hurt her, he was pulled over fiercely, and because he was not able to stand steadily, he almost threw himself onto Su Jinyi's body.

"Right, no …"

Before he could finish apologizing, he received Su Jinyi's slap.

Pow!

Su Jinyi was also shocked by her own subconscious actions. She stared at He Ruiting's face with eyes full of regret.

However, she had already slapped him. She didn't want to reach out to comfort him, so she could only stand there motionlessly.

That slap obviously did not have much power, but He Ruiting still felt sad that it was a slap in the face.

He finally released his hand and walked upstairs without saying a word. He did not see Su Jinyi behind him.

In the next few days, Su Jinyi did not see He Ruiting at the He household. At first, she thought that he was busy with his work, which was why he would return sooner or later. Coincidentally, they were unable to meet each other.

"Was it removed?" Su Jinyi muttered to herself, "Then I can leave at any time."

She made a decision. Once she finished the project on Wang Chen's company, she would leave An City and He Ruiting.
