Chapter 45 Please Let Me Go

However, it was precisely because of that bug that he was able to find Ji Xiaonuan so quickly and help her prove her innocence.

There was full disappointment in Ji Xiaonuan's eyes. "Zhao Jiaying? Isn't she your secretary? Are you going to say that she's actually a temporary worker and she did all these things behind your back?"

Chi Jun'an's eyes darkened slightly. "Xiaoxi, I have no need to do such things to you. Or, should I ask her to come and explain to you in person?"

"She's your person. Of course, she'll do whatever you tell her to do," Ji Xiaonuan snorted coldly.

Chi Jun'an frowned.

Ji Xiaonuan didn't believe him. Now, no matter what he said, she firmly believed that he had instructed Zhao Jiaying to do those things.

"What did she say to you that made you have such a deep misunderstanding of me?" he asked thoughtfully.

To clear up the misunderstanding, he had to know where the crux of the problem was.

The problem was that he only knew that Zhao Jiaying had said something to Ji Xiaonuan, which had led to this situation. But no matter what it was that she had said, Zhao Jiaying refused to admit it, and he couldn't figure it out either.

"Chi Jun'an, please let me go," Ji Xiaonuan suddenly said.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"I don't care what your purpose is, but I really don't want to be entangled with you anymore," Ji Xiaonuan took a deep breath and said firmly. "I participated in your surrogacy selection event just for that thousand yuan. I can return the money to you. Let's settle the score and act as if we've never known each other."

"Ji Xiaonuan, it's not fair to me," Chi Jun'an frowned even more tightly. "I don't even know what I did wrong, and you've already sentenced me to death. Even a death row inmate should have the opportunity to defend themselves."

"No, you didn't do anything wrong," Ji Xiaonuan said in a deep voice. "We're from two different worlds. We shouldn't have had any intersection from the very beginning. Most importantly, I don't want to have any relationship with you. Ever since I met you, my luck has been really bad, and I've encountered all sorts of terrible things. So, please let me go. I just want to live an ordinary life."

That her luck had turned bad... How could she blame such a thing on him? Besides, was it really that bad to be with him?

Chi Jun'an felt even more helpless. Now, no matter what he said, he was afraid that Ji Xiaonuan wouldn't listen.

"I'll take you back first," he said indifferently. "It's not suitable to talk about our matters now. We can talk when you've calmed down."

"I'm perfectly calm!" Ji Xiaonuan said angrily.

"Then, I'm not calm," Chi Jun'an said calmly.

"You...!" Ji Xiaonuan glared at him furiously. "Even if you're stalling for time, it's useless. Once I've made a decision, I'll never change it."

"En," Chi Jun'an nodded indifferently.

Ji Xiaonuan was both angry and helpless. Chi Jun'an didn't listen to a word she said at all.

She was sent back by him like this, and Ji Xiaonuan was filled with anger.

When she returned to the dormitory, she heard Xu Wenwen and Lin Xin chatting.

"Some people on the Internet are speculating that the male god canceled the surrogacy selection event because he already had a selected candidate. Look at this post. It's really detailed," Lin Xin clicked her tongue twice.

"I've seen it. Do you think those gossip reporters will dig out Xiaoxi?" Xu Wenwen asked.

"That depends on whether Xiaoxi and the male god plan to go public or not," Lin Xin said with a smile, looking at Ji Xiaonuan.

"I have nothing to do with him," Ji Xiaonuan said coldly. "Don't mention him in front of me!"

The two of them looked at each other in surprise. Xu Wenwen asked cautiously, "Did you two have a fight?"

Ji Xiaonuan's face darkened even more.

A fight? When she was with someone like Chi Jun'an, it was impossible to even have a fight, but it was even more frustrating than having a fight.

Lin Xin quickly changed the subject. "Xiaoxi, Uncle and Aunt called us a couple of days ago and said they were coming to see you. Have you called them back? If they really come, we can help find a place for them to stay."

Ji Xiaonuan's expression softened a bit. "I called them and told them I have an exam coming up soon. They changed their minds and decided to go on a trip instead and won't be coming."

The two of them let out an "oh". Sensing that the situation wasn't right, they didn't dare to mention Chi Jun'an again.

In the evening, after taking a shower, Ji Xiaonuan was just about to go to bed when she heard a commotion downstairs in the dormitory.

She was about to go to the balcony to see what was going on when the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open. Xu Wenwen, who had been visiting the next dormitory, ran in with a panicked expression.

"Xiaoxi, let's go!" Xu Wenwen grabbed her and ran towards the door.

Ji Xiaonuan followed her blankly. "Wait, Wenwen, what's going on?"

Xu Wenwen pulled her down the stairs and quickly explained, "It's still about the surrogacy thing before. I don't know who dug it up and said that you're the surrogate mother selected by Chi Jun'an. This matter has exploded on the Internet, and all your information has been dug out by netizens. I don't know who was so meddlesome that they even posted several photos of you in all kinds of luxury cars, saying that you... Well, never mind. That's not important. The problem is that those media reporters have already blocked the downstairs of the dormitory and might rush up to interview you at any moment. You'd better slip away from the back door..." Before she could finish her words, there was a commotion on the stairs. The reporters had already rushed up.

"Not good!" The two of them changed their expressions. If they went down now, they would definitely run into those reporters, but it was too late to turn back even if they wanted to.

What should they do?

The door of the dormitory next door suddenly opened, and Lin Xin waved at the two of them urgently. "Come in quickly!"

The two of them, in a hurry, dashed into the adjacent dormitory.

Ji Xiaonuan hid inside. Listening to the commotion and footsteps outside the door, she leaned against the door and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

She had finally avoided a disaster.

Suddenly, Ji Xiaonuan heard someone outside shouting, "She went in! I saw her go into a dormitory on this floor just now!"

Then, there was a deafening knock on the door.

Ji Xiaonuan blocked the door, and her face instantly turned pale.

No way?

Was she really that unlucky? Was there really no way to escape?

"Go this way!" Lin Xin's friend generously took off the bed sheet and handed it to her. "Hurry up and go. We'll hold them off for you!"

Ji Xiaonuan quickly took the bed sheet and ran to the balcony. Xu Wenwen and the other two had already blocked the door from behind and were pushing against it with all their might. She didn't care about anything else. She tied the bed sheet to the railing and slid down along it.

This was the second floor, and a bed sheet was barely enough.

Before Ji Xiaonuan's feet touched the ground, she suddenly heard someone nearby shout, "Someone is climbing over the balcony! It must be Ji Xiaonuan. Where is she!"

No way? There were still reporters waiting downstairs?

Ji Xiaonuan's expression changed. Her hand suddenly loosened, and she fell onto the grass.

A sharp pain shot through her foot, but Ji Xiaonuan didn't care. She quickly got up from the grass and ran forward in a panic.
