Su Xing looked at Han Ruoxi's face, which even makeup could not conceal its pallor, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for the foolishness of a woman so crazed by love. Especially with the bandages wrapped around her wrist, covered by a green lace ribbon; it was hard to understand what she was trying to achieve with such actions. Perhaps over the years, Shen Jingyu had learned about love through her?
Su Xing had no intention of entangling herself with Han Ruoxi, but Han Ruoxi insisted on making things difficult for herself.
"Miss Su, so you really are a lady!"
What gave her the audacity to think that her lowly status could ever be worthy of someone like Jing Yu, who resided in the clouds? Su Xing's gaze was sharp as she looked at the notorious public figure before her, whose words were as filthy as they were famous.
Han Ruoxi had been overly protected by Shen Jingyu and had never encountered the darker sides of the entertainment industry. She had no idea of the struggles that women faced to climb the social ladder. Having never experienced such things herself, she could still insult Su Xing with an air of nobility.
It was not hard for Su Xing to guess that Shen Jingyu had been very protective of this girl over the years. How ridiculous it was that the boy she had painstakingly raised was now turning around to spoil another girl, allowing her to become arrogant and willful.
Was Su Boss someone to be trifled with?
"Miss Han, perhaps he simply prefers experience. You might not have tried it with anyone else; maybe he finds you lacking in excitement?"
Su Xing's expression resembled that of a seductress luring innocent women into smoky alleys.
Han Ruoxi hesitated for a moment; could what she said be true? Did Jing Yu really prefer experienced women? But he was always so protective of her, shielding her from dark matters—wasn't that meant to preserve her innocence? Was his reluctance to touch her due to her own lack of allure or wildness?
Su Xing felt quite pleased with her manipulation. "You truly have a heart for this!" She observed Han Ruoxi's expression, which suggested she was genuinely contemplating how to entice Shen Jingyu. Perhaps she was considering experimenting with someone else to learn new tricks?
After all, suspicion was like seeds scattered on fertile ground; it could only grow more abundant. Who knew if Shen Jingyu had ever encountered this stunning Best Actress? At eighteen, in the prime of youth, how many men could resist temptation?
Han Ruoxi blurted out, "You are truly shameless! You rely on your experience in that area to tempt Jing Yu."
But a woman of your status would never be accepted in high society. The Shen family is a top-tier aristocracy; they would never accept a woman like you!
Su Xing let out a cold laugh; her emotions were already remarkably stable.
As long as she didn't have to face Shen Jingyu, she hadn't shown any other unnecessary emotions for many years.
Su Xing even nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. The Shen Family and the Mu Family can't accept it!"
But Shen Jingyu was foolish enough to fall for her tricks. What could she do? She had to keep him on his toes, sometimes drawing close, sometimes pulling away, occasionally offering a sweet word or two, and at other times showing her temper. With her refined skills in intimacy, would he be completely enchanted by her?
Su Xing playfully winked at Han Ruoxi, declaring her to be a gifted actress!
Han Ruoxi was visibly agitated, her voice trembling as she exclaimed, "You shameless person! Everything you do to Jing Yu is nothing but deceit! I will expose you!"
"Go ahead, be quick about it. He's been quite clingy these past few days, and I'm feeling really worn out. You should also work on your skills in that area to help your sister out!"
Han Ruoxi was about to explode with anger.
"You shameless woman! You have no sense of decency! You're as fickle as water! I must tell Jing Yu what kind of person you truly are!"
Su Xing calmly crossed her arms and smiled. "Well, there are plenty of words to use. Do you want me to record it? I can repeat what I just said."
Han Ruoxi actually considered pulling out her phone.
A cold voice interrupted her, "No need. I've heard everything."
Immediately after, Shen Jingyu stood proudly at the entrance of the women's restroom.
Su Xing experienced a moment of panic—had she just been talking nonsense?
Shen Jingyu looked at Su Xing and said, "Since you are so unwilling to serve me, I will just have to make things difficult for you."
"My presidential suite is downstairs; we won't be going home tonight! Or would you like to enjoy some fun with me before the auction begins?"
"Jing Yu!" Han Ruoxi found it hard to accept this side of Shen Jingyu; she had never seen him speak such vulgar words before.
"It's all because of this woman! She's the one who has corrupted you!" Han Ruoxi cried out again.
This woman must have been born from tears! Su Xing felt her head spinning from all the crying!
This was what happened when words felt good in the moment but led to disaster upon meeting face-to-face.
"Shut up," Shen Jingyu said irritably.
When Han Ruoxi had first been entrusted to his side, she was strong and rarely shed tears; she worked hard and strived for improvement. He had genuinely helped her achieve what she wanted more and more.
Desires are endless; once you conquer one peak, you immediately yearn to see the scenery on another mountain. Achieving one goal leads swiftly to the establishment of an even higher target.
Clearly, Shen Jingyu has already set his sights on Han Ruoxi's next ambition. However, Han Ruoxi's overreach only serves to push Shen Jingyu further away, little by little.
"Ruo Xi, we can be friends or siblings, but if you insist on invading my emotional life, then we can only become strangers again." Shen Jingyu once again stated clearly and firmly the nature of his relationship with Han Ruoxi.
"I won’t! Why? What gives you the right?" Han Ruoxi protested, unwilling to accept his words and unable to let go with just a few sentences.
Shen Jingyu had already helped her solve problems time and again, paved the way for her, and built her reputation; all of this had created a subtle shift in their dynamic! Even though they didn’t meet often, she had become deeply infatuated with him.
Shen Jingyu didn’t say anything more to Han Ruoxi; his deep-set gaze fixed on Su Xing’s face as if he could see right through her.
"Star, come out yourself." His tone was commanding and intimidating, making Su Xing, who was used to being the bossy one, feel somewhat at a loss.
But then Su Xing realized that this man still had some boundaries—he hadn’t crossed into the women’s restroom. Otherwise, she would surely be in his arms right now!
"I won’t! Why? What gives you the right?" Su Xing echoed Han Ruoxi’s earlier words, but her tone lacked the same conviction; it came out more like a mournful lament.
Today, she had resolved to be a turtle hiding in its shell! She was certain he wouldn’t directly barge in to drag her out; once the auction started later, he would definitely come for her!
Fortunately, there was no one in the restroom at that moment.
A faint creaking sound of the door opening reached Su Xing's ears.
Sometimes life is just that dramatic; the more you wish to avoid someone witnessing a scene, the more likely you end up in a situation where you're caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Tsk, Bao Er, you’re really something!" Mu Beiyao had been lingering around for quite a classic minute.
Her single friends could spread rumors about themselves without holding back at all!
Su Xing wished she could fall into a deep sleep and wake up to find it was all just a dream.
That gossiping witch Mu Beiyao would surely use this incident to mock her for a lifetime.
