Free Web NovelChapter 2579: Chapter 2572: Wounded Pride and Self-Esteem
"Ji Chuan!!" Qiu Xinyi approached him time and again, trying to be subtle, but all she got in return was his increasingly cold attitude. "What do I have to do for you to speak kindly with me for a few words?"
Ji Chuan raised an eyebrow, looking at Qiu Xinyi with a faint smile: "Haven’t I been kind enough? Miss Qiu, let me make it clear today—I, Ji Chuan, only like Yan Huan, and I only have eyes for Yan Huan. We are about to step into the chapel of marriage. So, I advise you not to waste any effort on me."
"Yes, I admit I like you. I fell for you at first sight!" At this point, Qiu Xinyi decided not to hide anything anymore. "Ji Chuan, in terms of looks I’m not worse than Yan Huan, and in terms of family background, I’m no worse than her either. Why can’t I earn your favor? Besides, I’ve liked you since way before Yan Huan did. Isn’t it easy and enjoyable to be with a woman who likes you and is willing to do anything for you? Why insist on chasing Yan Huan?"
"Miss Qiu, when it comes to love, I never settle. If I can’t be with the one I like in this life, I’d rather not marry. I think my attitude is very clear, right?" Ji Chuan reiterated the fact very clearly.
The phrase ’never settle’ deeply wounded Qiu Xinyi’s proud heart.
"Are you saying I’m some woman you can just settle for?" Qiu Xinyi trembled with anger. "You’ve really belittled me!"
"I have no intention of belittling you in the slightest." Ji Chuan’s voice was calm, carrying a coldness that seemed to keep people at a distance of a thousand miles. "I am stating my stance. In this life, it’s Yan Huan and no one else! I also ask Miss Qiu not to disturb Yan Huan and not to come bothering me. Otherwise, I will find it very troublesome."
"Fine! Fine! Ji Chuan, you’re really ruthless!" The full fervor in Qiu Xinyi’s heart was extinguished by Ji Chuan, freezing her from head to toe.
It’s not just cold; there’s also anger, unstoppable anger!
Her pride and dignity were trampled on by Ji Chuan. She always thought of herself as someone special, always attracting attention wherever she went.
But this sense of superiority turned into something disdainful in Ji Chuan’s eyes, making her extremely angry, burning with fury, yet it was all in vain.
"Since I’ve explained myself and Miss Qiu has understood, please take your things and leave!" ƒreewebɳovel.com
Qiu Xinyi took her things from in front of Ji Chuan and wrathfully walked out of the office door. The more she thought about it as she went down the hallway, the angrier she got.
Finally, impulse overpowered reason. She harshly threw the pile of breakfast she had selected to the ground and stomped on it.
In an instant, the breakfast turned into a pile of mush.
Her impulsive action startled the people walking back and forth in the corridor, who all stopped to look at her.
The nurses, seeing that patients and family members suddenly crowded the hallway, went over to check the situation, only to witness Qiu Xinyi’s outburst.
"Qiu... Qiu..." The nurse called her surname several times but couldn’t bring up her rank. Such an unorthodox display in public by a PLA member truly damaged the image of soldiers.
Qiu Xinyi seemed not to have finished venting her inner rage. She took the clothes out of the bag and vehemently tried to tear them apart. When she couldn’t, she simply threw them to the ground and fiercely rubbed them with her feet.
