Chapter 69 Admitting Defeat Wholeheartedly

"Sorry, senior. I really can't understand," Ji Xiaonuan came back to her senses and interrupted him calmly.

Looking at Ling Yifeng's dejected expression, Ji Xiaonuan took a deep breath.

She didn't know Ling Yifeng's feelings before, but now that she knew, she naturally had to make things clear to him.

"Senior, your feelings for me shouldn't be love," Ji Xiaonuan said lightly. "I've always thought that if you like someone, you should be good to that person. This is the first time I've heard the principle that even if someone hasn't done anything wrong, you should wrong the person you like first."

"I..." Ling Yifeng wanted to explain something, but Ji Xiaonuan interrupted him.

"I can understand your helplessness as a friend, but I can't accept it. Moreover, since you think your helplessness is more important than me being wronged, doesn't that already explain everything?"

"Xiaoxi, I was confused before," Ling Yifeng looked at Ji Xiaonuan with anticipation. "I understand now. Can you give me another chance?"

Ji Xiaonuan frowned slightly. It seemed that she should make things even clearer.

"I'm sorry, senior. I've always regarded you as a friend and have no special feelings for you," Ji Xiaonuan suddenly smiled faintly. "And I already have someone I like."

"Chi Jun'an?" Ling Yifeng asked dejectedly.

Ji Xiaonuan was a little surprised. She nodded and didn't deny it.

Ling Yifeng gave a bitter smile. "That's right. He's the president of the Chi Group and much richer than me. It's also a right decision for you to choose him."

Ji Xiaonuan felt a bit annoyed in her heart. Ling Yifeng's words made her very uncomfortable.

It didn't matter if Ling Yifeng misunderstood her, but with his way of speaking, he directly ignored Chi Jun'an's efforts for her.

She knew better than anyone what Chi Jun'an had done for her, and she wouldn't allow Ling Yifeng to slander him like this!

"I didn't choose Chi Jun'an because he has more money than you," Ji Xiaonuan said coldly. "He's really good to me and doesn't want me to suffer any grievances. Just like when I was being attacked the most on the Internet, senior, if you were him, would you go against the entire media for me even knowing that your company would also be implicated?"

Ling Yifeng's face instantly turned a little paler.

If he were in that situation, he definitely wouldn't make the same choice as Chi Jun'an. Just like his advisor and classmates were his source of helplessness, the company would also become his source of helplessness. His choice would still be to wrong Ji Xiaonuan.

This had nothing to do with trust. It was just because although he liked Ji Xiaonuan, he liked himself more. So no matter what the situation was, he would push Ji Xiaonuan out.

Ling Yifeng smiled dejectedly. "I lost, and I admit it. Xiaoxi, no wonder you're defending him like this. I wish you happiness."

"Thank you," Ji Xiaonuan replied politely. "Senior, I also wish you can find a girlfriend for whom you're willing to give everything in the future."

Ling Yifeng smiled bitterly. Without saying anything more, he stood up and left directly.

Chi Jun'an's phone rang. He picked it up and looked at the photo on it. His eyes darkened slightly.

Then, Zhou Kainan's call came in. Chi Jun'an frowned and pressed the answer button.

As soon as the call connected, Zhou Kainan originally wanted to tell Chi Jun'an everything he had seen angrily. But before he could speak, he heard Chi Jun'an ask unhappily, "Kainan, why were you following Xiaoxi?"

Zhou Kainan was stunned and even forgot what he was going to say.

"Muchen, I didn't follow her," he came to his senses and said hastily. "I happened to see her when I passed by here."

As he spoke, Zhou Kainan told Chi Jun'an indignantly how he had seen Ji Xiaonuan shopping in the supermarket intimately with someone else and how she had been involved with another man.

Chi Jun'an listened indifferently, frowning slightly. "Did you see it by yourself, or was there someone with you?" he asked.

Zhou Kainan instinctively looked at Yang Wanrong beside him. He felt a little guilty for no reason. "Of course I saw it by myself. Why would you ask such a question, Muchen?"

Chi Jun'an said lightly, "Telling me personal speculations as facts isn't something you would do."

Zhou Kainan couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat.

Indeed, most of what he had told Chi Jun'an were Yang Wanrong's speculations.

"Muchen, we've been friends for so many years. Don't you trust me?" Zhou Kainan was a little nervous.

"Alright, I know," Chi Jun'an said calmly.

"What are you going to do then?" Zhou Kainan couldn't help asking. "That Ji Xiaonuan doesn't deserve you at all..."

"You're mistaken," Chi Jun'an said indifferently. "Xiaoxi has her own social circle and interpersonal relationships. Even if there are some emotional entanglements, I believe she can handle them well."

"You trust her that much?" Zhou Kainan was furious.

"Of course," Chi Jun'an said in a deep voice.

Zhou Kainan hung up the phone helplessly.

"What did he say?" Yang Wanrong asked eagerly.

Zhou Kainan told Yang Wanrong what Chi Jun'an had said.

"Is Brother Muchen bewitched?!" Yang Wanrong was extremely angry. "The photo clearly shows everything, yet he doesn't believe you. What kind of magic potion did that Ji Xiaonuan give him?"

"Maybe we really misunderstood?" Zhou Kainan was a little hesitant. "Muchen isn't someone who can be easily deceived. He should have his own thoughts."

"But he has no experience in relationships at all. I think he's just been deceived by Ji Xiaonuan!" Yang Wanrong was even more annoyed.

"Wanrong, I understand your feelings very well," Zhou Kainan looked at her quietly. "But the things between you and Muchen have been in the past for so long. He's serious this time. You'd better let it go."

A look of unwillingness flashed in Yang Wanrong's eyes. But now that Zhou Kainan was no longer willing to cooperate, she had no way to continue.

However, Chi Jun'an actually trusted Ji Xiaonuan so much?

Yang Wanrong clenched her fists in anger. It seemed that she had to find another way to force Ji Xiaonuan to leave!

Chi Jun'an looked at the photo on his phone. Although he trusted Ji Xiaonuan, the man in the photo was Ling Yifeng, and Ji Xiaonuan had always had a close relationship with him.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Chi Jun'an dialed Ji Xiaonuan's number.

Ji Xiaonuan was about to leave the coffee shop. She pressed the answer button in surprise. "What's wrong?" Ji Xiaonuan asked in surprise.

"I miss you," Chi Jun'an said in a low voice.

Ji Xiaonuan's cheeks couldn't help blushing.

"I've arranged everything here. I can be back at noon in three days," he said in a low voice.

Ji Xiaonuan was delighted. She let out a shy "oh".

Chi Jun'an smiled faintly and didn't make it clear.

"By the way, where are you now?" he asked casually.

"I'm outside the school," Ji Xiaonuan answered truthfully. She sighed. "I just met my senior."
