Fated Love With the Billionaire-Chapter 6 - : Enthusiastic Citizens

I thought the relationship between the two had ended, but to my utter surprise, Guo Heming started playing tricks again. He sent flowers during the day and blocked people at the office entrance at night. Unaware colleagues envied Chen Ningxi, but only she knew how despicable Guo Heming was for being different in private than in public.

But there are no secrets that time does not reveal. Within a few days, colleagues noticed something was amiss. They didn't even meet, and the flowers sent were thrown into the trash. It seemed that a breakup had occurred.

Yet, both were very outstanding, leaving everyone puzzled about what had caused the breakup. Some guessed it was the man's fault. Colleagues who had work conflicts with Chen Ningxi sided with the man, accusing Chen Ningxi of having a bad temper that no one could stand, laying the blame on her. Now that the man was lowering his status to reconcile, she should give him a chance to back down. Her attitude of avoidance was just showing her princess temper.

In the end, Guo Heming became the victim in this relationship. After hearing so much gossip, Chen Ningxi didn't want to take the blame, but she also couldn't reveal the truth and lose face.

At this moment, rain was pouring down. The sky was painted a depressing gray and white, and the temperature dropped suddenly.

Chen Ningxi parked the car by the roadside, opened an umbrella, and walked toward the black sedan in the heavy rain. Cold wind blew straight into her coat as she saw Guo Heming hurriedly get out of the car under a black umbrella, holding flowers in his hands.

He attempted to enter the shelter of her umbrella, but Chen Ningxi had no intention of making space. In no time, the rain soaked his suit jacket.

"Ning Xi, you finally agreed to see me."

Looking at the rain-drenched person outside the umbrella, there was not a trace of warmth in Chen Ningxi's eyes. Her voice was even colder than the weather.

"Don't send flowers anymore, and don't come to the office looking for me. A breakup is a breakup. Between you and me, there is no room."

Without giving him a chance to speak, Chen Ningxi turned and started to walk away. Guo Heming hurriedly moved in front of her, blocking her path.

"Ning Xi," there was deep affection and reluctance in his eyes, "I'm sorry, ever since you left that day, I've blamed myself for a long time. Looking at the empty closet where your clothes used to be really made me uncomfortable. I was wrong. I lost my moral bottom line this time and caused you mental harm. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I can't sleep at night without thinking about you and the times we were together. I still can't forgive myself, but I really can't do without you. I can't bear to see our relationship end. I drank too much that time; I don't like her. My heart is only for you."

He reached out to grab Chen Ningxi's hand, but she stepped back, avoiding him.

The umbrella completely exposed him to the pouring rain, leaving Guo Heming looking like a drenched rat.

"...Ning Xi, I know I was wrong," Guo Heming wiped the rain off his face, his eyes reddened, "Please, give me another chance."

She had seen troublesome people before, but never anyone so difficult.

Chen Ningxi remained firm, showing no intention of giving in.

"It's pointless to tell me all this."

In desperation, Guo Heming thrust the flowers into her arms, "Ning Xi, I really know I was wrong."

He reached for her umbrella, but Chen Ningxi pushed him away. In the tussle, the umbrella slipped from their hands, drenching Chen Ningxi in the rain. Infuriated, she shouted:

"Guo Heming, are you crazy! This is at my office entrance. You might not care, but I still need my dignity!"

It was the biggest joke choosing to meet such a scumbag.

"Ning Xi," Guo Heming chased after her, "I know I deeply hurt you. It was just this one mistake. I feel disgusted with myself. Can you forgive me this once? Is it okay?"

At this point, it was the evening rush hour, and the road was bustling with vehicles. Seeing the umbrella crushed by a passing car, Chen Ningxi was utterly furious. Her eyes were bloodshot as she yelled at Guo Heming:

"Guo Heming, we broke up. Can't you understand?"

"Damn it!" He realized he had made her mad.

This was not Guo Heming's intention. He had hoped to reconcile with flowers and an apology, feeling pleased when seeing Chen Ningxi braving the rain to meet him. He even deliberately left the umbrella in his car as part of a ploy to make himself suffer in the rain in hopes of winning her sympathy.

But now, he had messed up the situation.

Watching Chen Ningxi's determined back, Guo Heming chased after her, "Ning Xi, please forgive me."

Chen Ningxi, still angry, harshly threw the flowers to the ground.

"I told you to get lost!"

"Ning Xi, I..."

Before Guo Heming could finish his sentence, someone grabbed him by the shoulder and forced him to the ground, while a black umbrella opened above Chen Ningxi's head.

She looked at Cheng Qiaobei with surprise and speechlessness, her expression turning awkward.

Cheng Qiaobei opened the driver's side door, "You go first, I'll handle the rest."

Cold and embarrassed, Chen Ningxi nodded and drove away.

Seeing this, Guo Heming got up angrily, "Who are you?"

Cheng Qiaobei looked down at him with a cold expression and a warning tone, "A concerned citizen, standing up for justice."

"You," Guo Heming was so angry he was momentarily speechless, "What are you interfering for? She's my girlfriend; what business is it of yours."

At this moment, Chen Ningxi's car turned around. As Guo Heming was about to give chase, Cheng Qiaobei stopped him, "Man, she's already gone. What's there to chase?"

"If you hadn't interfered, she wouldn't have left!" Guo Heming retorted angrily, eyeing the stranger who didn't look easy to provoke. Pointing at him, he said fiercely, "I'm a lawyer, you know? I can sue you for pushing me down."

Cheng Qiaobei remained calm, showing no sign of fear, as he took out his phone from his pocket, "Want me to call the police for you? How about we discuss this at the police station?"

"..." Seeing he couldn't intimidate him, Guo Heming said, "I'm too busy to waste time on you. I won't hold it against you today."

Only after Guo Heming drove away did Cheng Qiaobei turn back to his car. Shortly after, he received a call from Chen Ningxi.

"Thank you for earlier."

Cheng Qiaobei smiled slightly, "No problem, don't worry about it."

Silence on the line, Chen Ningxi wanted to explain but felt it too embarrassing, "...Goodbye."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Go home, brew some hot tea, take a warm bath, get some sleep, and tomorrow will be a better day."

The dense rain outside the car, whether tomorrow would be good weather was unknown, but it would surely be colder.

"Got it."

With a beep, she hung up the call.

Cheng Qiaobei's non-intrusive approach to helping scored points in Chen Ningxi's heart.

After a warm bath, Chen Ningxi sat on the sofa with a cup of hot tea, opened WeChat, and found her friend Liang Lei's chat box.

Chen Ningxi: What are you doing?

Liang Lei sent a photo of herself wearing professional gear, ready to rock climb.

Liang Lei asked: What's up?

Chen Ningxi: Nothing, just talk after you're done.

If there were an urgent matter, Chen Ningxi would say it directly. Liang Lei sent an OK hand gesture.

Putting down the phone, Liang Lei noticed someone climbing on the professional rock climbing wall and asked someone nearby, "Who is that?"

The climbing friend replied, "Don't know, must be new."

Liang Lei said, "Impressive, looks like a pro."

The climbing friend agreed, "Must be some climbing expert; we'll get to know him once he comes down."

Cheng Qiaobei only held onto the climbing hold with three fingers, his entire body suspended mid-air. He took a deep breath, began swinging his body, and at the maximum arc, he exerted force, leaping to the next climbing hold.

At that moment, everyone at the bottom of the climbing wall gasped in unison.

One hour later, Liang Lei sent a video request.
