Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Novel - Chapter 693

Chapter 693: Shi Xiang, When Did You Become Like This?

Not to mention there was a possibility that Shi Xiang had a fling with another woman… The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt. Although Luosang hadn’t said some things, she knew them deep down in her heart. Shi Xiang might not just be flirting with that Young Mistress; he might have even used her for his own purposes.

Yeah, every time he called her, he acted so secretively. Was he really that scared of his company? Maybe someone was with him. She had suspected it before, but she never allowed herself to project her suspicions further. She didn’t think her high school sweetheart would do something so nasty.

Luoasng went into the kitchen to cook, leaving Yan Su alone on the sofa. When she emerged from the kitchen with food, Yan Su was already gone. She sighed.

Yan Su was calling Shi Xiang by the roadside. The user was unavailable. She walked around for a long time, and she kept dialing his number. He didn’t pick up her phone calls. Yan Su’s heart was stone-cold by the end of it. That was her boyfriend, uncontactable when she needed to hear him the most.

What was he doing then? Was he with another woman? Yan Su didn’t know what to do with herself. She thought of ending things between them, but the thought cut deep in her heart, physically hurting her. She felt sick thinking about forgetting things and holding onto the relationship as well.

She got a call back from him three days later at eleven o’clock at night. When she saw her phone buzz with his caller ID, she was still in a daze. She had been waiting every minute of her life. She was always checking her phone, even in class, always distracted. Every day she waited, the colder her heart became.

She picked up the call, and Shi Xiang sounded apologetic over the line. “Su, I’m sorry. Things have been rough with Fanyu recently, and the company has been scrambling to fix things. I’ve been swamped. Sorry to return your call so late.”

Yan Su couldn’t help but ask, “It’s quite a big issue, but are you really that busy that you can’t even return a call? I waited for three days before I heard anything from you. You could have sent me a text, at least. Don’t you have a minute to yourself?”

“Su, why are you being so demanding today? We’ve always managed thus far.” Shi Xiang was put off.

Yan Su bit her lip. She was trying to stop herself from crying. “Yeah, we’ve always managed thus far. I’ve never thought much about it.”

Shi Xiang was silent for a while before he suddenly asked, “Did Xu Luosang say something to you?”

“What could she say?” Yan Su asked sarcastically.

“I don’t know what she said to you, but I don’t think she would have said anything good. Su, do you trust me or her?”

Yan Su fell silent and replied, “Shi Xiang, Sang is my good friend. I know for a fact that she was around when I was lonely, not you. She was the one who encouraged me when things got hard…”

“You don’t trust me, then.” Shi Xiang sounded disappointed and angry. “Did you know that my image has gone to ruins because of her? My image that I worked so hard on to be able to come back to China. I have all these controversies surrounding me now. People are criticizing me for having a poor work ethic.”

Yan Su was stunned. “Shi Xiang, they had evidence that you were late to your recordings. I waited for you there before. You were more than an hour late…”

“I was running late because of other events on my schedule. I didn’t do it on purpose. Who isn’t late nowadays, anyway?” Shi Xiang defended himself angrily.

“Yeah, you can afford to be late every day now that you are popular. How can you push the blame to someone else without reflecting on yourself?” Yan Su felt that he sounded unfamiliar. “Shi Xiang, when did you become like this?”
