Life and Death Insurance – CH 049

Chapter 49

Xiang Tian quickly brought over the hot milk. Ling Zhengzhong slowly sipped his milk, then glanced at the person sitting beside him, still full of regret. He finally regained his composure.

Xiang Tian was wearing a white casual outfit today, which made him look even more refreshed and elegant. However, his fair face showed signs of weariness, and Ling Zhengzhong secretly wondered if it was because they had argued.

There was a moment of silence in the room. Xiang Tian, ​​unsure why Ling Zhengzhong had come to see him, simply remained silent. Ling Zhengzhong finished his milk, put down the cup, and began his interrogation. He walked to the opposite table with a stern face, pointed at the travel bag, and asked, “What does this mean?”

“…”

Seeing Xiang Tian’s face full of question marks, Ling Zhengzhong began to explode again.

“Xiang Tian, ​​what do you think you’re doing? You’ve taken advantage of me, and now you want to just walk away? Humph, you’ve even packed your things! What do you take me, Ling Zhengzhong, for?!”

“Zhengzhong…”

“You even dared to hang up on me! And you’re trying to run away? Let me tell you, even if you run back to Canada, I’ll still chase after you! Since you slept with me, don’t think you can get rid of me so easily!”

Zhengzhong, you are being too rude!

He wasn’t trying to run away; he was clearly kicked out, right?

Seeing Ling Zhengzhong, barely recovered, striking a bullfighting pose, Xiang Tian couldn’t help but find it amusing.

“Zhengzhong, this travel bag is the one I brought back from your house. I haven’t had time to unpack it yet, so it’s just been sitting here…”

Oh, was that so? So it wasn’t packed for running away.

“Then what was with you being so intimate with Feng Yan just now?!”

“You’ve misunderstood; it isn’t what you think…”

“Misunderstood? Then explain my misunderstanding clearly from beginning to end right now! Otherwise, you’ll be beaten up!”

Thinking of Xiang Tian’s fighting skills, Ling Zhengzhong immediately added, “Don’t fight back!”

Just thinking about what had just happened made him angry. He couldn’t let that punch go unpunished. If Xiang Tian couldn’t explain himself, he would get his revenge, with interest.

“It’s like this…”

Because of his falling out with Ling Zhengzhong, Xiang Tian had been in a bad mood for the past two days, which was why he had taken paid leave from work. He originally wanted to go out and clear his head, but unexpectedly, Feng Yan suddenly called to invite him out. Xiang Tian initially refused but changed his mind after hearing her purpose.

Feng Yan had actually come to say goodbye to Xiang Tian.

Feng Yan’s company offered its models the opportunity to study in the United States every year. This year, the spot went to Feng Yan. Although she still couldn’t let go of Xiang Tian, ​​she didn’t want to give up this rare opportunity, so she asked him out, wanting to confirm his feelings for her again.

After they met up, Xiang Tian offered some congratulatory and encouraging words while also clearly telling Feng Yan that he only considered her a friend and that he wasn’t worth giving up her study opportunity for. He also believed that Feng Yan would find a suitable partner in the future.

Perhaps Feng Yan had anticipated Xiang Tian’s response. Although she was somewhat hurt, she didn’t overreact. After chatting at the tea restaurant, they returned together.

However, Feng Yan’s final farewell kiss completely surprised Xiang Tian. Although he could have avoided it, it would have been too hurtful to a girl’s pride. He also knew that Feng Yan didn’t mean anything by it; she was simply saying goodbye. Who would have thought that Ling Zhengzhong would happen to witness that scene and attack him?

So that was how it was.

Xiang Tian’s explanation easily quelled most of Ling Zhengzhong’s anger, but the matter couldn’t be left unresolved.

“Then, what about that night you hung up on me?!”

“…”

“Hey, say something! Act like a man! Hiding here like you’re the victim, anyone would think I bullied you!”

“Actually, there’s nothing to explain. Since we have no feelings for each other, why continue contacting each other? What happened that night was a mistake. I shouldn’t have treated you like that…”

“What did you say, you bastard? You said you didn’t want to be with me? You said you had no feelings for me? Say that again and see what happens!”

Avoiding the aggressive Ling Zhengzhong, Xiang Tian gave a bitter smile.

“Zhengzhong, it was my cousin who sent you, right? He doesn’t understand our situation at all, you know? I’ve known my sexual orientation since I was little. I don’t like women, but you’re different. You’re at most bisexual. You’ve had several girlfriends before, and you yourself have said you don’t like being dominated. I don’t want you to regret it later because of a momentary impulse. Rather than that, it’s better to…”

“Xiang Tian, are you afraid I’ll regret it later, or are you afraid I might leave you one day? You don’t want to get hurt, so you’re simply pushing me away from the start, aren’t you? Don’t you think you’re being too selfish?”

“Zhengzhong…”

Ling Zhengzhong grabbed Xiang Tian’s arms, making him look directly at him, and then said very solemnly, “Listen, Xiang Tian, I don’t know if I like men or women, but I know I like you—Xiang Tian!”

“Then… what about that female secretary?”

Since Ling Zhengzhong had already laid it all out, Xiang Tian no longer hesitated, and he let out all the frustration he had accumulated over the past few days.

“What female secretary?”

“That day you went to work without eating breakfast. I was worried about you, so I specially made a lunch box and brought it to you. But when I saw you and your female secretary so intimately chatting and laughing together, you said you loved me the night before and would be with me forever. Who knew you would push me away as soon as you got out of bed and go be intimate with your female secretary? And you blame me for hanging up on you? And you come here to interrogate me? What right do you have to take your anger out on me?”

“Ah…”

The little hamster seemed very agitated.

Seeing Xiang Tian so agitated was rare for Ling Zhengzhong, so he immediately rewound his memories to a few days ago.

“That day… I had a bit of a headache, so that new female secretary just massaged me for a while. Aren’t your eyes supposed to be very good? Which eye did you use to see us being intimate?”

“…”

It seemed there weren’t any intimate actions, but just seeing them chatting and laughing together made Xiang Tian feel very uncomfortable.

Ling Zhengzhong laughed. “Little hamster, so you hung up on me because you were jealous!”

Xiang Tian blushed, his thoughts exposed.

“Where did all your usual cleverness go? If I didn’t love you, do you think I’d be running to you like this?”

What?

Xiang Tian looked at Ling Zhengzhong, not immediately understanding the meaning behind his words.

Looking at those slightly red lips, Ling Zhengzhong couldn’t resist any longer and leaned in to kiss him.

Why waste time with all that talk? Actions speak louder than words.
