Fu Hengxun's appearance seemed to have triggered some sort of switch, and Bai Nianxi's memories and emotions all exploded out at once.
From the moment Fu Hengxun appeared, her gaze and full attention had involuntarily landed on him.
Even if she intentionally turned her head to look at him, the next moment, she couldn't help but stealthily turn her head back to face him.
She couldn't help but want to get close to Fu Hengxun and express her goodwill to him.
This was not her will, but Bai Nianxi's.
Bai Nianxi liked Fu Hengxun, but in Lin Xi's opinion, although Fu Hengxun was not detestable, but as a person, she definitely could not like him.
At first, if he had no intentions towards Bai Nianxi, he would not have kissed her when he sent her back to her dorm. However, after he kissed Bai Nianxi, he then told her that he already had a girlfriend. To her, this kind of behavior of running away after flirting and taking advantage of others was no different from scum.
But not only did Bai Nianxi not resent him, she even blamed everything that had happened to him, and thought that she was the one who interrupted Fu Hengxun during the confession …
It was silly.
When these thoughts of "scum man" and "too stupid" appeared in Lin Xi's mind, she felt her scalp tighten and the piercing pain in her head suddenly became stronger. It was as if she was being warned that she shouldn't have blasphemed and criticized Fu Hengxun …
Lin Xi cried out in pain, she could not resist and suddenly crashed into the coffee table in front of her.
On the table, there was a waiter carrying the coffee. Just as she was about to slam into the coffee cup, Fu Hengxun stood up and held her shoulders.
"What's the matter with you?" Fu Hengxun worriedly asked her.
Although the two were separated by a table, they were actually very close, especially looking from Fu Hengxun's back. Under the false position, the scene in front of their eyes was simply as if they were kissing.
Lin Xi felt the two of them being a little closer to each other, so she gently freed herself from Fu Hengxun's support. She replied: "I accidentally hit my head this morning, I probably have a concussion, but it's nothing serious, it will slowly heal."
Fu Hengxun retracted his hand, but he had a face full of disapproval: "How can a concussion be considered a small matter, I'll send you to the hospital."
"No need." Lin Xi politely rejected him, "It doesn't hurt much now, and furthermore, my manager is going to take me to City Y to film in the film crew. It will be too late to go to the hospital now."
Fu Hengxun frowned slightly, but seeing that Lin Xi was insisting, he did not continue to persuade him, but only said: "Promise me, if you still feel uncomfortable, you must go to the hospital in time."
"Alright, I agree."
With Fu Hengxun's eyes, Lin Xi would not hesitate to agree to any of his requests as if she had been drugged.
The feeling of being affected by someone else's emotions was not good. It was like reminding her over and over again that she wasn't the owner of this body, but rather a ghost that should have long since dissipated …
Lin Xi lowered her eyes and deliberately avoided Fu Hengxun's gaze.
Having met Fu Hengxun today, she didn't feel the slightest bit of joy at meeting his old friend again. He only wanted Fu Hengxun to leave quickly so that she wouldn't be affected by the memories and emotions that Bai Nianxi had left behind.
Qin Yu's matter was already enough to make her hurt his lungs. She really didn't have the energy nor did she want to deal with Fu Hengxun anymore.
But Fu Hengxun didn't hear her thoughts, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. After confirming that Lin Xi's headache wasn't serious, he sat opposite her and started to chat.
"I heard that there was an actor called Bai Nianxi before. I thought it was just someone with the same surname as you, but I didn't expect it to be you." Fu Hengxun lamented.
Saying that, he suddenly changed the topic of the conversation and asked: "So, the matter regarding your engagement with Qin Yu is also true?"
Qin Yu had once announced the date of marriage to the public, so it wasn't strange for Fu Hengxun to know about the engagement.
But once he mentioned Qin Yu, the expression on Lin Xi's face darkened visibly.
The things that happened in the hotel just now surged to his mind once again. Qin Yu's questioning and the word "f * ck off" seemed to still be resounding in his ears.
Although she was Qin Yu's supposed fiancee, she had always been known as an unreal person. It was just that Qin Yu had given her a fake name, out of respect for the Old Madem Qin. Now that what happened last night, her title of fiancee would probably be taken back by Qin Yu very quickly …
However, all of these were her and Qin Yu's private matters, so she didn't tell Fu Hengxun anything. Therefore, she endured her bitterness and pretended that nothing had happened as she nodded to him.
Seeing her nod, Fu Hengxun also no longer had a smile on his face.
He said, "Congratulations. With the Qin family supporting you, no one will bully you in the future. I am relieved."
Although Lin Xi felt that his words of "congratulations" were a little unwilling, she still thanked him politely.
She was afraid that she would lose control over her own actions again, so she didn't dare to meet Fu Hengxun's eyes. She only took a quick glance at Fu Hengxun's current expression.
Lin Xi thought that he might be a little fond of Bai Nianxi, but she did not know how much weight this had.
Lin Xi did not go into the details, she was afraid that she would be affected by Bai Nianxi's memories and her actions would go out of control, so she did not want to get entangled with Fu Hengxun too much.
Seeing that Fu Hengxun had no intention to leave, she decided to find an excuse to leave. Just as she was about to speak, Fu Hengxun's phone rang.
Fu Hengxun looked at the caller ID, and embarrassedly interrupted Lin Xi's words before she could even finish, "Sorry, I need to pick up a call."
Lin Xi nodded, she could only wait for him to answer the phone before leaving.
After Fu Hengxun picked up the phone, the person on the other side of the line spoke a few words, and only responded with "Understood" before hanging up.
He kept his phone and apologized to Lin Xi again: "I'm sorry, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I have to leave first.
"It's alright, business is more important." Lin Xi waved goodbye and wished that he could leave soon.
Fu Hengxun got up and pushed his glasses up, he had already taken a step forward, but then he suddenly stopped and turned to ask Lin Xi: "Oh right, what's your number?"
Although Lin Xi did not want to involve herself with Fu Hengxun anymore, he was, after all, a person that Bai Nianxi deeply missed and liked. If she were to reject her at a distance of a thousand miles, she would probably arouse Fu Hengxun's suspicions.
The more she thought, the more she hesitated. In the end, she still exchanged phone numbers with Fu Hengxun.
Fu Hengxun saved Lin Xi's cell number and then quickly left the coffee shop.
Lin Xi looked at his back, and couldn't help but to let out a long breath. At the same time, strangely, the pain in her head also slowly disappeared.
She was a little shocked by the impact that Fu Hengxun had on her, but she didn't think too much and only treated it as Bai Nianxi's obsession.
Her attention was already focused on Qin Yu when she was leaving the hotel, and she did not have the spare attention to spare for Fu Hengxun.
Lin Xi sat alone at the window desolately and desolately. She lifted up the coffee on the table that was cold already, and directly swallowed it in large gulps without even putting in any candy.
For the first time, she felt that the unsweetened coffee was not that bitter. Compared to her current state of mind, it was much worse …
Before Lin Xi met him, all of her focus was on Qin Yu. After meeting him at the coffee shop, Lin Xi's attention was completely focused on him, so she did not realise that she was being followed secretly.
Different from the usual bodyguards who had followed her secretly in the past, this time, not only did the person follow her all the way to the coffee shop, they also recorded the whole process of her spending time with Fu Hengxun. This included the time they hugged at the door, and the moment she had a headache just now, Fu Hengxun had reached out his hands to support her — — From the perspective of the photographers, it just so happened to be the two of them kissing.
After Fu Hengxun left the café, the people who were following him also followed him. Not long later, all of the photos he took appeared in Yao Jing's email.
Yao Jing frowned as he flipped through the photos. After hesitating for a while, he dutifully printed out the pictures along with the folder in his hands and sent it to the CEO's office.
Not long after Qin Yu arrived at the office, before he even had the time to drink the coffee sent over by his secretary, he received Yao Jing's report on the matter regarding the Eden last night.
Yao Jing passed the information in his hands to Qin Yu, and reported: "When I received your call this morning, I immediately went to check on the Eden Hotel's monitoring system. But unfortunately, just before I was about to investigate, the hotel's monitoring system was suddenly attacked by a hacker, and all of the hotel's three days' worth of videos were destroyed by the hackers.
"The hotel is now trying to find a way to recover the data, but after an assessment by a cyber security expert, the chances of data recovery are slim," he said. The registration information and recordings were all gone, so for the time being, they were unable to find out who the person who was with Miss Nianxi last night was.
"However, I contacted the bodyguard who stayed beside Miss Nianxi to protect her. I actually got some information from him. The bodyguard gave me some pictures, saying that after Miss Nianxi left the Eden Hotel, he met with a person called Fu Hengxun at the coffee shop.
"Fu Hengxun is a alumnus of Miss Nianxi's Friendship School when he was at university. From the photos, the two of them seem to have an intimate relationship with each other … I printed out the picture and Fu Hengxun's information out, and appended it to the last part of the information. "
Qin Yu did two things at once, while looking through the information in his hands, and listening to Yao Jing's report at the same time, his complexion was already very bad, but after hearing Yao Jing say that Bai Nianxi was close to other men, the pressure around him became even lower.
He no longer had the patience to flip through page after page of information in his hands. Instead, he flipped to the pictures and started reading them one by one.
The person who took the photos was rather skilled, and the angle was very good as well. The Lin Xi in the photo had very clear facial features, and probably because she had just been crying, her eyes were red, bringing along a depressing sense of beauty, causing people to be unable to help but feel tender towards her. However, what was eye-catching was that there was an unfamiliar man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sitting beside her.
Not only did that man hug Lin Xi at the entrance of the coffee shop, he even kissed her after they sat down …
