Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 64 I Like How You Treat Me Well (1)

"No need to hail a cab. I have a car, I’ll take you." Han Xiujie was persistent. On one hand, he genuinely cared about Mi Jing, on the other hand, he wanted to curry favor and salvage his bad impression on her.

"Can you stay away from me?"

Mi Jing did not show any kindness to Han Xiujie, throwing the words impatiently and then walking out.

The shop assistant nearby didn’t understand the relationship between them and gave Han Xiujie an inexplicable look before following Mi Jing out.

Han Xiujie felt a bit embarrassed by the look from the assistant, his mood instantly became complicated. He stood there with a sullen face, remained silent for a moment, and then left the restroom.

After getting into the taxi, Mi Jing took out her phone with a dependency and thought of calling Mi Wan, but then she thought of Shen Lingxing, the gentle and considerate man who occasionally called her "baby."

Her hand paused, then Mi Jing opened her contact list and dialed Shen Lingxing’s number.

"Hello, are you busy?"

Even though the call was quickly connected, Mi Jing still asked this, thinking that if he was busy, she wouldn’t disturb him.

"Not busy."

On the other end, Shen Lingxing was in a meeting with experts. In the massive conference room, most of the attendees were experienced doctors in their forties or fifties, each expressing their opinions. Suddenly, Shen Lingxing, who had been intently listening, made a move. Seeing him take out his phone and smile gently as he answered the call, everyone sensibly paused their discussions.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the conference room quieted down. Therefore, the nonchalant and slightly relaxed "Not busy" drifted clearly into everyone’s ears, causing a stir of astonishment among them.

Had this workaholic ancestor ever been so laid-back?

Shen Lingxing glanced at the attendees, ignoring the shock on their faces, calmly stood up from his seat, and covering his phone, said, "I’m stepping out to take an important call, you all continue."

With that, he turned gracefully and walked out. After waiting for a while without hearing Mi Jing speak, he teased with a smile, "Have you started missing me after just a few hours apart?"

"I..."

Mi Jing hesitated. If it were usual, she would immediately dodge the topic or call him narcissistic, but now she was thinking about how to tell him what had just happened, so she was a bit at a loss.

Mi Jing was straightforward and always got to the point while on the phone. Now her unusual silence and hesitation made Shen Lingxing aware, and he asked, "Did something troublesome happen?"

Upon hearing his question, Mi Jing felt touched. She bit her lip and said, "Yes, someone made trouble just now. The master in the shop got hurt..."

"What about you? Are you okay?"

Shen Lingxing’s concern and slight urgency were evident in his words. He didn’t care much about others, only wanted to confirm Mi Jing’s safety first.

"I’m fine, just accidentally got my cheek cut."

Mi Jing felt a bit guilty saying this. She said she was fine, but the wound wasn’t shallow. What if it left a scar?

The thought made Mi Jing slightly nervous.

Hearing this, Shen Lingxing’s heart tightened. Her face got cut, and she said she was fine?

"Where are you now? I’ll come to pick you up!" He almost seemed ready to abandon a group of experts.

"No need, I’m already in the taxi, will reach your hospital in about ten minutes."

The coffee shop wasn’t far from Shen Lingxing’s private hospital, about a twenty-minute drive. Although Mi Jing didn’t want to bother him, under such circumstances, no one seemed more suitable than Shen Lingxing.

The taxi stopped at the hospital entrance. Mi Jing helped Master Ji out of the car. As soon as they walked a few steps, Han Xiujie suddenly rushed over.

"Jing, let me help you." He eagerly took Master Ji’s other arm, mixing a little flattery in his smile.

Why did he follow?

What’s the point?

She thought she had made herself clear with her attitude, so why did he keep pestering her?

"Jing, is this your husband? He looks pretty good!" Master Ji had only heard that Mi Jing got married and occasionally heard the girls in the shop say her husband was handsome. But he had never seen him, so seeing Han Xiujie, he assumed he was Mi Jing’s husband.

"No," Mi Jing clarified the misunderstanding, "my husband is much more handsome, way better!"

"Pfft!"

Han Xiujie’s face showed jealousy and he sneered, bitterness evident in his tone, "When did your aesthetic sense change so much? That man looks delicate and tender. Careless as I am, I might mistake him for a woman!"

At that moment, Mi Jing’s dark eyes flared with fire!

She could not tolerate others bullying or insulting her family in front of her, and Han Xiujie knew this. But his jealousy had clouded his mind, hitting Mi Jing’s sore spot.

"Han Xiujie, why don’t you go home and look in the mirror? See what qualifies you to say such things? Thanks to you, my taste in men has improved by tenfold. Scum, trash, unfaithful men no longer catch my eye, so get lost and stop nauseating me!"

Whew!

As soon as she spoke in anger, her injured cheek hurt terribly!

But she couldn’t suppress the almost explosive anger, nor did she want to keep it in. Since Han Xiujie was so shameless, why should she hold back? People like him needed to be scolded to have a little self-awareness.

She was really pissed!

Questioning her aesthetic sense? Did he even think he could be compared to Shen Lingxing?

Han Xiujie’s expression changed multiple times. Even if he had no shame, he had bottom lines. If Mi Jing’s words were directed only at him, he might just feel bad. But with a third person present, he couldn’t stand the humiliation. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn’t stay.

He dejectedly let go of Master Ji’s arm, some sadness evident on his brows, and said quietly, "Jing, would you believe me if I said I had my reasons back then?"

Reasons?

His betrayal was a fact, what was the point of reasons now?

Mi Jing sneered. Seeing her reaction, Han Xiujie said nothing more, turned dejectedly, and left, looking grey and disheartened.

Master Ji was caught between them, listening to their conversation, and his face turned pale with remorse. He blamed himself for causing tension between Mi Jing and this young man by speaking out of turn.
