"why?"
Sensing Huo Yunting's anger hidden under the calm, Chi Muzhen pursed her lips.
"To be honest, I am really grateful that you saved me. I have also been shaken and have thoughts of being with you again."
"But every time I want to make up my mind to be with you, the picture of you and Chi Xuan being together pops up in my mind."
"That time you went to Shili Village to save me. When the huge waves hit, you cut off the extravagant lifeline without any hesitation. That was the first time you firmly chose me, but I know very well that all this was just because of Chi. Xuan is not with you. If Chi Xuan was here at that time, would you still choose me so firmly? I think the answer should be no."
Huo Yunting's eyes turned cold, and he stared into Chi Muzhen's eyes and said, "This is just your assumption. It's unfair for you to treat me like this."
Chi Muzhen smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "I know, but I don't dare to gamble anymore. I gambled on three years of my life. Now that I have finally come out, I don't want to make the same mistake again."
"Chi Muzhen, you have so little confidence in me?!"
"It's not that I don't have confidence in you, I just don't have confidence in myself. Even if we are reluctantly together now, it will be difficult for me to trust you again. Sooner or later, we will be separated again."
As she finished speaking, the carriage fell into silence.
I don't know how long it took before Huo Yunting said, "I understand."
"Thank you, you saved me twice, just think I owe you two favors."
Huo Yunting was irritated and didn't want to hear her words trying to draw a clear line between herself and herself.
"That's enough, I don't want to hear it, please leave."
He was afraid that if he continued to stay in the same space with Chi Muzhen, his emotions would completely explode.
Chi Muzhen got out of the car in silence. As soon as she closed the door, the black Maybach started and left.
Seeing the car disappear from her sight, Chi Muzhen felt a stinging pain in her heart and her eyes were a little sore.
She blinked, turned around and drove in the opposite direction of Huo Yunting's car.
They are not from the same world, and there will be no results if they continue to entangle.
When she returned to the villa, she saw Shi Yiheng waiting at the door of the villa, and her eyes flashed with surprise.
"How did you come?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yiheng held him tightly in his arms.
Just as Chi Muzhen was about to struggle, she felt a warm tear fall on her neck.
She froze for a moment.
Shi Yiheng...cryed?
"Mu Zhen, I'm sorry, I should have let you go first."
He couldn't imagine what would happen to Chi Muzhen if he really died because of him.
The whole day yesterday was hazy, until he heard the news that she had returned safely, and he quickly went to her door to wait for her.
Hearing the guilt in his tone, Chi Muzhen didn't push him away, patted his back gently, and pretended to be relaxed: "Am I okay? You don't have to feel guilty."
"I won't put you in this danger again!"
He will never let himself fall into the same powerlessness as yesterday!
Watching Huo Yunting cut off the rope and jump into the water, he felt even more uncomfortable than when he was on the verge of death.
"Okay, I understand. Let me go first. I'm about to be strangled to death by you."
Shi Yiheng quickly let go of her, with guilt in his eyes.
"sorry."
Chi Muzhen shook her head, "It's okay, it's not early now. You should go back and rest early."
"Well, you should rest early."
He originally came over tonight to tell Chi Muzhen his feelings, but seeing her tired look, Shi Yiheng decided to wait and find a more suitable century.
"it is good."
Chi Muzhen opened the door and walked into the villa. The living room was dark. Zhen Yan had not returned from attending an event.
She simply went up to the second floor without turning on the light, took a shower and then fell asleep.
Since rejecting Huo Yunting, Chi Muzhen's life has returned to its previous calm. Although the two are in the same city, they have not seen each other since that day.
There were many things that MY needed to solve. At first, Chi Muzhen would occasionally be in a daze, but then she became so busy that she rarely thought of Huo Yunting.
Bai Ruru resigned after returning from Shili Village. Chi Muzhen asked Shen Tian to recruit a new female secretary for him, but he never found one that Chi Muzhen was satisfied with, so the matter was shelved.
Half a month later, the design competition was officially held in Chengdu.
The day before the opening ceremony, Fan Rong, the president of the organizer Fanshi, invited all the judges to his home to discuss the competition.
Chi Muzhen was delayed due to something, so the other judges had already left when she went.
Seeing her, Fan Rong's eyes flashed with shock.
"Are you Elia?!"
He knew that Elia was from Rongcheng, but he never expected that Elia was actually Chi Muzhen, the good-for-nothing daughter of the Chi family who had been missing for more than ten years and was found!
Didn't it mean that she didn't even graduate from high school? !
Chi Muzhen nodded, "Hello, Mr. Fan."
Fan Rong was also a person who had seen the world. He quickly put away the shock on his face and said with a smile: "Miss Chi, please sit down."
After telling Chi Muzhen the steps he had discussed with the other judges, Fan Rong looked at Chi Muzhen and said, "Miss Chi, do you have anything else to add?"
Chi Muzhen shook her head, "Mr. Fan, the plan you have come up with is already perfect. I have no other objections. But this competition should be the same as before. The judges don't need to show up, right?"
"Well, even if the design draft is submitted this time, it will only be marked with the serial number of the contestant, and the name will not appear. Moreover, the entry serial number is randomly selected before the start of the competition. The purpose is to achieve fairness."
"Okay, then I have no problem."
Fan Rong still couldn't believe that Chi Muzhen was actually Elia, so he said, "Miss Chi, do your family members know that you are Elia?"
"I don't know, so I hope Mr. Fan can help me keep this matter secret. I don't want this matter to be leaked."
Not long ago, Xu Rou held a press conference to publicly cut off her relationship with Chi Muzhen. He had also heard about it. If the Chi family knew that Chi Muzhen was so good, would they regret it so much?
Fan Rong said quickly: "Don't worry, Miss Chi, I will keep this matter secret."
"Thank you, Mr. Fan. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"Okay, do you need me to ask someone to take you there?"
"No, I drove the car myself."
Chi Muzhen got up and left. When she started the car and left, she happened to pass the car of Fan Rao, the eldest daughter of the Fan family.
Fan Rao returned home and saw her father sitting in the living room, looking thoughtful. She couldn't help but said, "Dad, who is the woman who left our house just now?"
Fan Rong glanced at her and said, "Your idol Elia."
"what?!"
Fan Rao's eyes were full of disbelief, "Elia is so young?! You are not lying to me, are you?!"
At this moment, she felt regretful. If she had known that person was Elia, she would have stopped her and asked for her autograph!
Fan Rong glanced at her angrily, "What's the point of lying to you?! I'm the same age as you, but now you're a judge, and you're just a contestant!"
It's really irritating to see people compare to each other. If he had such an outstanding daughter, he would definitely let his wife take her out to show off every day. I wonder what the Chi family thinks?
Fan Rao glared at him, "What's wrong with the contestants? Do you think there is no threshold for this design competition?! Elia is a once-in-a-century genius. She wants me to be as good as her, unless the Fan family's ancestors are buried!"
