I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 63: Heroes Save Beauty (1)
As soon as Cheng Xin heard Jing Hao's voice, she felt as if she had found a pillar of support. He looked for his figure and yelled at him, “Hao!”
Large tears dripped from his eyes.
In an instant, Jing Hao's cold heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle.
He had never seen Cheng Xin cry so sadly, like a helpless abandoned animal.
She knew Cheng Xin as a simple and agile girl, as warm as a small sun. In the years they knew each other, they sometimes fought for various reasons.
Recently, Jing Hao had deliberately given him a cold demeanor during these past two days. Sometimes, Cheng Xin would bow her head first, and at other times, Jing Hao would admit his mistake. After each problem, their feelings as a couple would become more profound; they considered their quarrel as something that would deepen their feelings.
When Jing Hao met Cheng Xin, he finally felt what love and compassion really were. She was different from all the women she had been in a relationship with before; she was so full of vitality and affection for him.
This was the reason why, despite the headaches of Cheng Xin's arrogance, pettiness, or temper, Jing Hao could not bear to let her go.
However, there were still many stumbling blocks they had to overcome. Cheng Xin's temperament was too simple, which was why Jing Hao still hadn't revealed their relationship with the world, nor brought her home.
At this moment, he had the urge to hug her to comfort her, but he knew that he was incapable of doing so in front of this crowd. Jing Hao could only resist his impulse.
She asked Cheng Xin what had happened to her, but she simply cried without saying a word.
Jing Hao helplessly calmed her down with a few words, then turned around and saw a man and woman standing face to face with Cheng Xin.
The man had a graceful temperament, like a demon. Jing Hao had never seen this person in the business circles he was in contact with.
He felt a little unhappy. This banquet was held to reintroduce Jing Ruo to the imperial elites after being abroad for many years, yet not all the visitors who came were invited.
Jing Hao's disdainful gaze turned to the woman beside the unwanted guest.
The woman wore a long wine-red dress and was cold towards her beauty. Jing Hao's eyes flashed in astonishment, but it was only a momentary appreciation for a woman's beauty.
On a closer look, he found her a little familiar. Isn't this Cheng Xin's younger sister, Gu Jin?
The last time Jing Hao saw her was a few months ago when they went to school together. They had no contact with each other until Cheng Xin brought the two of them over. After seeing her again today, it took Jing Hao a while to truly recognize her.
His appearance had not changed much, but his temperament had undergone a drastic change. From the last two meals he had spent with Cheng Xin and this girl, he had never found anything impressive about Gu Jin.
He only remembered her as Cheng Xin's cousin and good friend who had a quiet and graceful temperament. She was a typical girl who lived obediently at home.
However, now, his smile was enough to attract the attention of any man.
Moreover, she stood beside the man she did not know, and the atmosphere between the couple looked familiar.
However, Cheng Xin had once told her that she managed to unite Gu Jin and Shao Chong in a relationship.
That was why he reluctantly agreed with Cheng Xin's occasional contact with Shao Chong.
Hearing this thought, Jing Hao felt a little disgusted towards Gu Jin.
A woman like her who dared to pedal two boats should not get along with Cheng Xin, lest she mislead her beautiful boyfriend.
