Chapter 118: Kane's Difficulty

bad taste.A monotonous life always needs some spice.During those three months in S city, Jian Tong became a spice in his otherwise boring life.Kane wanted to see this woman, full of contradictions, st...Lu Chen and Kane also froze the moment the door swung open.

But the next second, Lu Chen smiled and said to Xiao Heng, "Kid, you're good, your moves are fast enough." His impression of Jian Tong was what happened in the private room that day.

A knowing smile played upon Kane's beautiful face, more beautiful than any woman's.

"It's nice to see you again, Ms. Jian."

Xiao Heng and Lu Chen were both surprised at the same time.

"Do you know each other"

Xiao Heng turned his head and smiled, asking Jian Tong, "When did you meet Kane"

At this moment, Jian Tong's hands and feet trembled slightly.

Never would I have thought that these three people would become such good friends.

To her surprise, Xiao Heng brought her to meet his close friends.

Jian Tong asked herself, if she had known earlier, would she still come

It won't... The answer is clear and unambiguous.

Xiao Heng considerately pulled out a chair for Jian Tong. "Sit down. Don't be so nervous. Lu Chen and Kane are both my friends. Despite their appearances, they're actually quite good people."

Jian Tong's face was ashen, and she managed a weak smile before sitting down obediently.

Lu Chen teased, "Flowering playboy Xiao Shao, when did you learn the word 'considerate'" As he spoke, he retorted to Xiao Heng, "Also, what do you mean by me and Kane not seeming to get along Do we look like people who don't get along"

"Kane, right" Lu Chen said, turning his head and bumping Kane on the shoulder with his elbow.

Yet he found that Kane had been watching Jane with an eager look.

Lu Chen frowned: "Kane, don't stare at Miss Jian like that, it's creepy. Be careful Xiao Shao finds you for a fight."

Kane chuckled lightly. "Oh, is that so" He asked Jane nonchalantly, "Did I frighten you, Miss Jane"

When Cain uttered that "Miss," it carried a particular weight, coming from him.

Jian Tong's face grew even paler.

Xiao Heng's gaze suddenly focused on Kane, smacking his lips: "I feel like you have intentions towards my girlfriend." Xiao Heng didn't like Kane staring at Jian Tong like that, and he didn't like Kane's just-said "Miss Jian" either... He didn't know if he was overthinking it, but something just felt off.

Kane let out a snort, raised his eyelids, and glanced at Xiao Heng with the corner of his eye. In an instant, his interest waned. He then casually looked at Jian Tong and said indifferently, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in this type."

Lu Chen glanced at Kane from the side...What's with this guy today Everything he says sounds a bit odd.

Xiao Heng's eyes flashed a hint of displeasure, he glanced at Kane, then reached out to cover Jian Tong's hand on her back, curled his lips, and asked with concern, "What do you want to eat"

"I... where's the restroom I need to use it." If she remained under Kain's "fiery" gaze any longer, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

Turn left when you go out.

As soon as Xiao Heng finished speaking, Jian Tong immediately stood up and hurried to leave.

"Looks like things are really urgent, huh" Kane blurted out suddenly.

Xiao Heng suddenly glared at Kane: “What’s with you today! Are you envious and jealous that I have a girlfriend”

"Hmm~ Do I need to" Envious and jealous Of whom That certain woman"

Kane rolled his eyes. "You're overthinking it. I'm just going for a cigarette."

As he spoke, he pulled back his chair and strode out of the private room with long legs.

Lu Chen timely played the peacemaker: "He ate dynamite today, ignore him."

Xiao Heng pursed his lips and remained silent, obviously unhappy.

After a while, he suddenly looked up: "How did you get to know the child"

Lu Chen fell silent for a moment, but instead of directly saying how they knew each other, he asked Xiao Heng, "Are you two lovers Then you should know where she works"

"I see, Emperor. So you're saying that you and she met at the Eastern Imperial Palace"

Hearing that Xiao Heng already knew that Jian Tong worked at Dong Huang, Lu Chen let out a sigh of relief. Since Xiao Heng already knew, he didn't need to hide it anymore. He briefly told him what happened that day, of course, omitting some details.

……

Jian Tong rushed into the restroom in a panic. Her mind was racing. She really didn't want to go back to the dressing room right now.

But Xiao Heng's phone call came.

"It's okay, I'll be back right away." Sigh... There was no escape.

She had just opened the bathroom door when a strong force burst in, slamming it shut with a loud bang.

"Psst... You wouldn't want anyone to know we're locked alone in a place like this, would you" A familiar voice whispered beside my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

Jian Tong trembled, the arm around her waist tightened, "So cold... Jian 'Miss,' I didn't expect your methods to be so high-level. You deliberately drew my attention, and then hooked that rich and handsome Xiao Hang, the young master of the Xiao family."

"I didn't." I didn't intentionally draw your attention, nor did I have any intention of flirting with any man, including Xiao Heng.

“Hmm... Saying there’s no, it’s like… the body says no,” Jian Tong's earlobe suddenly ached as she spoke, her brows furrowing in pain. The man's teeth bit down heavily on her earlobe, and he chuckled softly, “See You call out when you’re hurt, right Isn’t it like you people in this line of work, wearing masks and getting used to never being sincere”

Even though she's clearly in pain, she can pretend like nothing's wrong, "oh oh oh"... Isn't it just like those "actresses" in a certain island nation's pillar industry, "action movies," who are screaming "iku iku" despite being very uncomfortable

Jian Tong desperately fought the urge to punch Cain's beautiful face... her fist clenched and unclenched.

"You know, Mr. Caine. Some people, they don't scream when they're in pain, they just do it without getting any care, and instead get a beating." She was talking about life over those three years:

"Then I want to ask Mr. Kane, are those people who endure the pain and don't cry out just to avoid a beating wrong Aren't they being insincere"

Kane was clearly taken aback, but immediately, a mocking smile appeared on his beautiful face:

"Ms. Jian seems to be particularly good at playing the victim. You're making it sound like I hurt you. If you screamed, I'd beat you even worse."

Jian Tong lowered her eyes... No one who hasn't gone through that can understand. Some say, seventeen days, it takes to form a habit. If seventeen days can form a habit, then… what about three years

Then, if you understand, you understand, and if you don't, you don't. There's no need to say more.

"Mr. Kane, you should let go. Mr. Xiao just called me to hurry back. If I stay here too long, Mr. Xiao might come looking for me."

"Are you threatening me" Kane raised an eyebrow. "Well, just bring Xiao Heng over then. He can come see your true face.", he just included Xia Wei Ming in his own circle.But Bai Yu didn't think it was Shen Xiuqin's fault. These people rarely truly cared about a woman. To include a woman in their circle was already a f...
