“The President's Surrogacy”.

15

Puffing, Xia Zixin leans against the wall and takes a deep breath. She berates herself for being so useless. Just moments ago, she was so frightened that it felt as if her heart was about to fail. Sticking out her tongue, she whispers, "Fortunately, I ran fast..." Hugging the kettle with both arms, she slows down her pace and walks in the corridor, thinking to herself that if she takes a long time to get water, perhaps by the time she returns, her sister and brother-in-law will have left. At this moment, a pair of large hands quickly grabs her arm from behind. "Who is it?" Startled by this sudden action, Xia Zixin's only reaction is to scream. She doesn't even see clearly who has grabbed her. As soon as she screams, another large hand covers her mouth and drags her towards the corner.

Pushing open the door of the emergency passage and walking into the stairwell, she is roughly shoved. Her back leans forcefully against the cold wall, causing her some pain. Immediately, she wants to curse the culprit. "Wh..." Just as she utters a single word, all her words are swallowed back alive. "Sister - Brother-in-law?" Oh my god, what is he doing? Seeing him stretch out both hands and prop them on the wall, surrounding her between his arms, his expression is very strange. All these actions leave her somewhat puzzled.

Suddenly, Xia Zixin remembers something and immediately touches the hair covering her left face. She is actually afraid of letting him see it.

Luo Yiwei looks at her coldly. In his heart, he can't help but say that this girl really knows how to put on an innocent and pitiful look. Don't think that I will let you off just because of this. A faint smile curls up at the corner of his mouth. A sinister aura immediately appears on his face. In a cold tone, he says, "No matter how much you try to cover it up, I can still tell how ugly you are."

"Sister - Brother-in-law?" Is brother-in-law talking about her? In fact, many people have said that she is ugly, and she seems to have become numb to it. But why does it feel like a sharp needle stabbing into her heart when it comes from her brother-in-law's mouth? She hugs the kettle tightly and lowers her head, not daring to look at him. "Brother-in-law? Do you think you are worthy of calling me brother-in-law? Can you be fair to your sister?" Luo Yiwei presses her with every word. As soon as he sees her pitiful appearance, his anger flares up.

What does he mean? Xia Zixin is even more confused. Looking up at him, she asks, "What do you mean?" She hasn't done anything wrong to her sister.

"You still ask me what I mean? Do you still want to pretend to be innocent in front of me now?" Luo Yiwei sneers coldly. His slender fingers grip Xia Zixin's chin. He wants to see what she will say next.

Her brother-in-law's fingers cause pain to her chin. Reactively, she wants to escape and move back, but she realizes that she has no way out at all. There is a wave of coldness on her back. Lowering her head, she stammers, "I - didn't - pretend."

What a simple answer. This makes Luo Yiwei even more furious. He slams his palm on the wall and says deeply, "So you are trying to tell me that you are very innocent?" As he speaks, he takes out the earring from his pocket. At this moment, he really wants to see what her reaction will be. "I believe this earring should be yours..."

As soon as Xia Zixin looks up and sees the item in Luo Yiwei's hand, she immediately asks, "Huh? How did this earring end up with you?" She left in a hurry yesterday and forgot to take off the earring. She had originally planned to return it to Han Zhengxi this morning, but she found that one was missing. So she didn't mention it. She was planning to buy another pair and return it to him. But how did it end up in his hand? Thinking of this, she trembles all over.

"Can you tell me why it was on my bed?" Luo Yiwei looks at her stunned expression. It seems that this girl is about to reveal her true colors. A sarcastic smile can't help but appear on his face.

Oh my god, she speaks without thinking. Xia Zixin is so annoyed that she really wants to slap herself. She wonders if it's still possible to salvage the situation. After thinking for a while, she says, "That... This earring isn't mine."

This is getting more and more ridiculous. Not hers? She really knows how to pretend!

Such an action makes Luo Yiwei extremely angry. He decides to expose all her true faces. "Don't tell me that the person who was in my room yesterday wasn't you either! The person who secretly got into my bed yesterday wasn't you either!" He doesn't need to give her any face. Thinking that he was actually toyed with by a seemingly innocent woman makes him feel like he has swallowed dynamite.

Does he know everything? What should she do now? Xia Zixin's heart is like a time bomb, racing against time...

Seeing her nervous look, Luo Yiwei continues to say angrily to her, "Why don't you speak? Xia Zixin! What's your purpose in doing this!?"

"I..." Does he know everything? Should she confess?

"I always thought you were a simple girl. I never expected you to do such a shameless thing." He presses Xia Zixin's shoulder and once again forces her against the wall. Looking at her with eyes full of anger, he says word by word through gritted teeth, "Doing this, can you be fair to your sister who has always loved you?"

She hasn't done anything wrong to her sister. She was just helping her sister. Wait, if he says this, does it mean he doesn't know everything? Does he think that she secretly seduced him behind her sister's back? Should she explain? "I..."

"What else do you want to argue? Trying to win my sympathy? Heh... Don't think that just because you slept with me you will get something. You are just a toy that offered yourself. Don't think of yourself as someone important! What are you looking at? Don't put on such a pitiful look!" Luo Yiwei grabs her chin and says harshly through gritted teeth.

It seems that he really thinks this way. That's why he is so angry with her. But after thinking carefully, she tells herself that she can't say anything. If she says it, it will involve her sister. She can't ruin her sister's happiness either! So she looks up, musters up her last bit of strength and looks at Luo Yiwei. One hand is nervously clenched, and the other quickly takes the earring from Luo Yiwei's hand. With difficulty, she utters, "Isn't it just sleeping together? Why is brother-in-law so nervous? Are you afraid that sister will find out?" Since he already thinks this way, then she might as well say what he wants to hear. Heartache, heartbreak. For the first time, she feels this way. Every word Luo Yiwei says is a deadly poison. Although at this moment her legs are weak, she tells herself that she must hold on.

Luo Yiwei's face immediately turns livid. Is this her true face? A woman actually says such words. She is truly shameless.

With a slap, it lands on Xia Zixin's face. Harsh words once again hit Xia Zixin's heart. "Xia Zixin! Look at yourself in the mirror and see clearly your ugliness. You will never be worthy in your entire life!"

Xia Zixin covers her burning face that was slapped and sits on the ground. The fragments of the kettle are scattered all over the place. The hand propped on the fragments is bleeding bright red blood, but she doesn't feel any pain at all. Because at this moment, her heart hurts even more than this...
