CHAPTER 464: 132. TRIANGLES HAVE STABILITY, HUH!!_3

But all of these are just appearances, not the essence.

Essentially, what Sakuragi Hitomi truly lacks and pursues is "a sense of security."

Just like at this moment, she can’t help but start to suspect, what exactly does Yan Huan mean by saying this to her right now?

Is it that we’ve made up?

Has he already forgiven me for my past actions?

Does he still... have feelings for me?

But it’s just a word, she needs more evidence to corroborate, to seek the truth.

That’s why she needs to monitor his movements for a day, to confirm if there’s a third party influencing the President’s point of view...

That’s why she needs to use Barrier to see what expression the President has when he says this, to see if it’s just a polite, expressionless façade...

Sakuragi Hitomi wants to probe further, but what she tries to control and dispel is always just that trace of unease.

Thus, her words unconsciously reveal a flaw, leaving an unfinished sentence, prompting Yan Huan on the other end of the phone to ask with confusion,

"Is there something you want to talk to me about, Sakuragi?"

Tong Yingying isn’t able to analyze Sakuragi Hitomi’s current thoughts and feelings, she just senses that after showing shyness, the unfinished sentence is Sakuragi Hitomi’s "assassination" attempt on herself.

She immediately lifted her foot again, aiming for Nara’s neck.

Seeing this, Sakuragi Hitomi’s fleeting emotions instantly vanished. Her face changed, and she hastily said to the person on the other end of the phone,

"President! Sorry! My cat knocked over a shelf, I need to go take care of it..."

"Ah, should I call back later?"

"No need! Just... just wait a moment, it will only take a few minutes!"

"Alright, no worries, no rush."

After hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly hit the mute button, and questioned Tong Yingying,

"What are you trying to do?! Are you reneging?"

"What did I promise you? Or do you think I would let personal matters affect my quest for vengeance?! Threatening me with a man, is this the laughable propriety of your illustrious family?"

"Your thirst for vengeance, my ass! Tong Yingying! You know damn well that Mommy Bai’s death has nothing to do with me! You are just venting your anger because I couldn’t stop the assassination that time!! I’ve already told many people, I tried my best!"

Nara, clutching his chest, looked at Tong Yingying and cursed loudly,

"You might as well just say you want to steal a man, that I could accept!"

"Then tell me, if it wasn’t you, why did you run away at that time?!"

"Who doesn’t know the nature of you, the Red-haired Demon?! Should I not run and explain to you instead? Do you think I cherish my life too much?!"

Tong Yingying opened her mouth, looked at Nara with an expressionless face, and said,

"Didn’t those guys in touch with you tell you that I’ve reformed?"

Hearing Tong Yingying say that, Nara couldn’t help but laugh with anger,

"Reformed my ass! You really think you can cultivate your morals by ogling at some 6-foot-tall eye candy every day?!

"Look at yourself, it’s been so long and you still want to kill me without reason! Don’t you find your question ridiculous?!"

Sakuragi Hitomi, watching the two of them argue, also got so angry she was about to explode. Holding her phone, she reminded Tong Yingying,

"I’m still on the phone! Hurry up and let Nara go! If you make the President suspicious..."

Tong Yingying glanced at her, cursing,

"Suspicious? Didn’t you just try to expose me to Yan Huan? Do you think I would still trust you?"

Sakuragi Hitomi was taken aback and replied,

"Expose? I didn’t..."

Nara glanced at Sakuragi Hitomi and cursed at Tong Yingying,

"Tong Yingying, can’t you change that damn temper of yours? When has the lady ever tried to expose you?!

"She is just infatuated with Yan Huan, her heart throbbing and feeling uneasy because of something Yan Huan said, wanting to ask him how he really feels about her, but she is too timid to ask, that’s all!!"

Being seen right through by her own bodyguard, Sakuragi Hitomi’s face blushed furiously and she said angrily,

"Nara!!"

Tong Yingying glanced at Sakuragi Hitomi’s extremely flushed face, then observed her panting, ravished chest, and sneered,

"Hilarious, a pervert who spies on Yan Huan still has the face to speak of affection?"

Upon hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi’s face immediately turned pale, clearly traumatized,

"I..."

Seeing his own lady defeated, Nara hastened to explain on her behalf,

"It’s because of love that she’s behaving this way! And she has never spied on anything inappropriate; she just wants to grasp Yan Huan’s whereabouts and preferences so that she can change herself to become someone Yan Huan would like!

"Meeting someone and willingly changing oneself for them, can’t that be considered love?"

While saying this, she turned to point at Tong Yingying and cursed,

"But look at you! Even after spending so much time with that Yan Huan, you’re still the same old ghost! You’re the kind that only thinks of oneself, and the world should revolve around you! No wonder you’re still a perennial virgin!"

Hearing this, Tong Yingying’s dejected eyes gradually became bloodthirsty,

"Daring to talk to me like that? Alright, alright..."

She sneered, then looked at Sakuragi Hitomi and said,

"Now, I can finally understand a bit why you would go to great lengths to protect her... It seems the wandering little vixen and her new owner get along quite well."

Nara, holding his chest, looked towards Sakuragi Hitomi who was still struggling to breathe.

Her charming features now hung a little lower, then she smiled and said,

"Yeah, it’s certainly better than my relationship with you, Red-haired Demon."

"That’s enough! Let her go! I won’t expose you to the President, we can negotiate other conditions, whether it’s money, favors, or anything..."

Tong Yingying glanced at Sakuragi Hitomi in front of her, was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled slightly and said,
