CHAPTER 744: CHAPTER 743 OUR AGREEMENT HAS ENDED (1)

Ling Chuxia got out of the car, flagged down a taxi by the roadside, and reported her destination to the driver; the car then sped away.

She sat in the backseat, taking several deep breaths until her emotions gradually stabilized. She wouldn’t let Ling Yunshu disturb her peace of mind again. It wasn’t worth it.

-

Today, Ji Xinxin had a photoshoot for the cover of a well-known magazine at a villa in the suburbs.

As the car arrived at the villa’s gate, Ling Chuxia paid the fare, stepped out of the car, and walked towards the villa—at the entrance, some staff tried to stop her. Ling Chuxia immediately called Ji Xinxin’s agent. After about two or three minutes, the agent came out and escorted Ling Chuxia inside.

While walking, the agent talked to Ling Chuxia, "Miss Ling, I’m glad you finally showed up. Xinxin has been out of it at work recently, always talking about visiting you, driving me nuts."

The agent’s words pierced Ling Chuxia’s heart, and she couldn’t help but think of Ling Yunshu again.

She didn’t mean to compare Ji Xinxin with Ling Yunshu, but at that moment, she sincerely felt Ling Yunshu didn’t measure up to Ji Xinxin. Ji Xinxin was just her best friend with no blood relation, yet Ling Yunshu? She was her only family member, consumed only by thoughts of how to plot against her, against her child.

A touch of bitterness unavoidably rose in Ling Chuxia’s heart.

The two entered the villa, which was bustling with many staff members all busy with their tasks. Ling Chuxia looked around but didn’t see Ji Xinxin.

She asked, puzzled, "Where’s Xinxin?"

The agent looked around with a confused expression, mumbling, "She was just here."

He immediately pulled aside one of the staff and asked directly, "Where’s Xinxin?"

"Sister Xin? She’s upstairs. Some man came for her and took her up a moment ago," the staff member replied truthfully.

A man? Shen Qian?

Sure enough, the agent smiled knowingly and said, "Must be Xinxin’s fiancé, Young Master Shen. They are upstairs. Miss Ling, you can head up on your own; I’ve got things to handle, so I won’t accompany you."

Ling Chuxia also smiled and nodded at the agent, "Okay, go ahead with your work."

As she ascended the winding staircase, Ling Chuxia’s heart grew slightly uneasy. Xinxin’s fiery temper was not so easily dealt with—how should she apologize to her later?

Ling Chuxia went upstairs, and on the left was a room, which Ling Chuxia guessed must be the temporary makeup room. Surely Xinxin and Shen Qian would be in there.

She took steps towards the room and before she even got close, Ji Xinxin’s uniquely husky voice could already be heard from inside.

However, at this moment, her voice was not one of joy but was cold and angry.

"I told you, once you fall in love with me, our agreement is over!"

Ling Chuxia paused, her steps momentarily halted.

The voice inside continued, this time belonging to Young Master Shen, mixed with annoyance, "So that’s why you’ve been avoiding me, not answering my calls?"

"Isn’t it obvious? Do you still need to ask?"

"You!"

Now Ling Chuxia completely realized that Ji Xinxin and Young Master Shen were having an argument inside... She completely stopped in her tracks, unsure of whether to proceed.

Inside the room, Ji Xinxin and Shen Qian were facing off.

Rather than a face-off, it was more like Shen Qian was the only one in a frenzy because Ji Xinxin had been sitting lazily at the vanity all along, leisurely touching up her makeup.
