Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Almost Fell for It

“I know you.” The other person smiled, “Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Xinyu, and I am Jingyao’s fiancée.”
Su Zixi’s eyes widened suddenly, and her right hand loosened, causing the delicate gift bag to fall to the ground with a thud.
“Heh...” Xia Xinyu chuckled softly, “Don’t be afraid, I’m not here to settle scores with you. A man like Jingyao, how can a woman resist him?”
Su Zixi felt a buzzing in her head. She clenched her fist and lowered her eyes, saying, “Miss Xia, I’m very sorry, I didn’t know...”
“You don’t need to apologize.” Xia Xinyu sighed softly, “Rest assured, I don’t oppose your relationship. Even if I marry Jingyao in the future, you need not worry about me.”
Su Zixi looked at her in disbelief.
“Jingyao and I have a typical arranged marriage. Although I like him very much, he has no interest in me...” Xia Xinyu smiled bitterly, “I came to see what kind of woman he fancies. Also, a piece of advice, before I give birth to Jingyao’s first son, you better not get pregnant. Otherwise, Mrs. He might be unhappy. It wouldn’t be good for you.”
Xia Xinyu’s words sounded like something from a TV drama—absurd and unreal.
Luckily, that woman knew nothing.
Xia Xinyu stood there for a moment before getting into her car, starting it, and driving away in a cloud of dust.
...
When Su Zixi returned to the dormitory, her mind was still in a daze.
She hadn’t expected that Mr. He already had a fiancée. So, what did she mean to him? A mere plaything?
Thinking about it made her nose tingle, and she felt a mix of sadness, grievance, and anger.
If He Jingyao’s fiancée hadn’t appeared in time today, she might have eventually fallen for Mr. He.
As a child, she hated infidelity in marriage because of Su Guo’an’s betrayal. Even if He Jingyao and Xia Xinyu’s marriage didn’t require loyalty to each other, she would never be the one to intervene.
She decided she would never have any contact with He Jingyao again!
Su Zixi made this resolution in her heart, but instead of feeling relieved, it just made her... feel even more miserable.
