Fated Love With the Billionaire-Chapter 9 - : Ask for a Hammer, Get a Hammer

"Ning Xi, don't be mad." Guo Heming immediately turned to Mrs. Chen for help, "Aunt, please say something for me."

Ye Yujun didn't want Chen Ningxi to fight either, "Ning Xi, since Guo is here, you two should talk it out today. Resolving the issue is what's important."

Chen Ningxi understood what she meant, calmed down, and sat by the sofa. Seeing the atmosphere ease, Guo Heming also sat across from Chen Ningxi.

Guo Heming looked serious, "Ning Xi, I hope you'll give me another chance to say what's in my heart."

Chen Ningxi was silent for a moment, "Is it necessary?"

Guo Heming stood up slightly and knelt on one knee before her, pleading, "It's necessary, as long as you're willing to listen, it's necessary."

Chen Ningxi lowered her gaze, her expression cold, "I don't think it's necessary anymore. Moreover, your actions have disturbed my family now. I hope this is the last time, if you come again, my mom won't let you in, you can count on that."

"Ning Xi, Ning Xi, a relationship is between two people, you can't just say we're done."

Chen Ningxi retorted sharply, "Since it's between two people, did you think of me when you slept with another woman behind my back?"

"I was drunk that day," Guo Heming hurriedly interrupted her and explained to Ye Yujun, "Aunt, I won a lawsuit that day, and the client insisted on thanking me. I really drank too much, and the client was unconscious too. I couldn't leave her alone in a public place, what if something happened, I'd be responsible. So I took her home, nothing happened between us, really, Aunt, Ning Xi misunderstood me."

Chen Ningxi looked at Ye Yujun, her mother's brows furrowing with displeasure, she stood up and said:

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you know very well in your heart."

"Aunt, she really misunderstood me, you have to believe me." Guo Heming pleaded bitterly.

Chen Ningxi angrily said, "Guo Heming, stop being stubborn."

Seeing her take out her phone, Guo Heming immediately realized the video he'd asked her to delete. In a panic, he asked, "You didn't delete the video?"

As soon as he said it, he regretted it, and looking at Ye Yujun, her expression had clearly turned cold and distant.

With a single feigned move, Chen Ningxi got him to reveal the truth. Guo Heming felt unwilling yet helpless.

Chen Ningxi said, "You asked for this."

Guo Heming awkwardly turned to Ye Yujun, "Aunt, I was drunk that day, I didn't know anything."

Ye Yujun lowered her eyes, her attitude completely changed from earlier, "Guo,"

"Yes, Aunt." Guo Heming sensed he was at fault, his head drooping.

"Go home." Ye Yujun issued an order to leave.

Guo Heming clenched his fingertips, "Ning Xi, can you forgive me just this once? I promise in front of your mom, I won't do it again, I won't drink with other women again. Please, forgive me, okay? Give me another chance."

Chen Ningxi resolutely shook her head, "A man's promises aren't trustworthy."

Guo Heming remembered the phone earlier, "Ning Xi, you can record my promise. If I break it, you can make the video public and ruin me."

Chen Ningxi said, "There's no need."

Guo Heming couldn't afford to lose Chen Ningxi. This was his best chance to change his fate, he was willing to risk anything, took her hand, pointed the phone at himself, and began apologizing and promising to the camera.

"Ning Xi, can you give me another chance, please?"

Ye Yujun silently looked at Chen Ningxi, although Guo Heming indeed did something unforgivable, it was ultimately between them; if Chen Ningxi couldn't let him go, Ye Yujun wouldn't forcefully interfere.

Chen Ningxi could see that Guo Heming was truly remorseful about the past, but his regret wasn't because he realized he was wrong, it was because he was caught with no way to deny it.

Chen Ningxi said, "Trust is something that can't be repaired once broken. I'm not someone who drags things out, once I say it's over, it doesn't change. Please leave, and don't come back."

Seeing that there was no hope left, Guo Heming had no choice but to face reality. His demeanor shifted from humble to defiant, glaring at Chen Ningxi, he said:

"Do you still have a backup of the video?"

Chen Ningxi knew he was suspicious, "No, I deleted them all the day I came back."

Guo Heming barely believed her, and as he left the Chen Family, just as he stepped out, Chen Ningxi followed him.

"Guo Heming."

"!"

Guo Heming immediately turned back and saw Chen Ningxi handing over the things he had brought, "Your stuff."

Guo Heming didn't take it, casually said, "Don't want it."

Chen Ningxi didn't mind him, just placed the items in the hallway.

Finally, Guo Heming couldn't hold back his anger any longer, "Do you think the whole thing is my fault?"

Chen Ningxi looked at him in disbelief, "What do you mean?"

Guo Heming said indignantly, "Don't pretend to be confused, you wouldn't let me kiss or touch, I'm a man and have normal physical needs. You wouldn't let me touch you, so I found other women. Am I not in this situation because you pushed me?"

His actions didn't break the law but violated morals.

"Guo Heming, how forgetful you are! And shameless! When we first moved in together, we agreed not to be intimate before marriage, we were just trying out living together to see if our habits were compatible. Now you blame it all on me, you're not only lacking character but courage too. Life isn't about how far you travel, but about not having a thorn in your shoe. They say good exes should be like they're dead; you're not even worth my time or effort to explain. In the future, be a good ex, don't come haunting for no reason."

With that, Chen Ningxi slammed the door shut.

Guo Heming was flushed with anger, almost exploding on the spot, and finally vented all his pent-up frustration on the gifts he brought, kicking and stomping the things on the ground before he left.

Chen Ningxi walked into the kitchen, where Ye Yujun was calmly washing vegetables and cooking as if nothing had happened.

"Mom," she called out.

Ye Yujun continued what she was doing, "He left?"

"Yes," Chen Ningxi took a deep breath, "He won't come back again." Still, she worried Guo Heming might be unpredictable, "If he comes back, don't let him in."

Ye Yujun placed the washed vegetables into a colander, "He's the one who caused trouble and still dared to act up at our door. His loss of composure shows his unstable emotions. Even if you married such a person, big or small things would lead to arguments, not worth trusting. Fortunately, you found out early; otherwise, you'd suffer."

Chen Ningxi nodded.

Ye Yujun said, "I need to call your Aunt Zhao later, what kind of person is this, and how did she introduce you without checking his character."

Chen Ningxi took this opportunity to hint at stopping arranged dates, "Mom, don't bother, ignore him. Also, stop asking people to set me up with dates, I'm still focusing on my career."

Ye Yujun turned off the tap and looked at Chen Ningxi, who bit her lip. She knew her mom wouldn't easily give up on the idea of setting her up with someone.

With a distressed look, Chen Ningxi said, "Mom, I'm still young, why are you so eager for me to find someone? There are plenty of people at work older than me who aren't married or dating. They're not anxious, why should I be?"

"Do you know why they aren't married? Do you have the same problems as them?" Ye Yujun questioned.
