Chapter 524 - What You Can"t Get Is Always The Best

"Why can other women, but not me?"

"Others are others, you are you."

These were the last words he uttered before he started avoiding her,

She glanced at the unopened magazine, her eyes dim.

"Qin Gengxin, if you think that you are not compatible with me, if you just don"t want to hurt me, don"t want to drag me into your quagmire, then from the start, you should be wary of me."

"When I first came to America before the age of eighteen, you shouldn"t have agreed to pick me up."

"After being together for so long, even if we meet, you will just pa.s.s and smile at me politely as if we are strangers. Do you think this is one of the best forms of honor and protection for me, Xian Guiying?"

Xian Guiying resisted the urge to swear and threw the magazine into the trash can.

She didn"t want to do this anymore. She had been pestering him all these years and now she refused to take the initiative to look for him. They had been by each other"s side for more than six years, and now, they had become strangers. Just because of her feelings, their relationship reached a stalemate.

On that day, there was a charity event held for the elites in the business society. Xian Guiying liked the precious bluestone bracelet sold at the charity auction and she initially wanted to bid 6 million for it, but the bracelet was sold to Qin Gengxin, who bid for 10 million.

Xian Guiying rarely wears accessories, and she didn"t really like those things either. It was rare for her to like a bracelet, but the bluestone bracelet was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Qin Gengxin just like that.

At the time, the place was utterly dark. There were only a few beams of light that fell on the crowd. Qin Gengxin was standing in front of her. He was in the front row, giving a slight nod to the crowd before sitting down.

Xian Guiying, who was usually accompanied by Qin Gengxin, this time was accompanied by Wei Zhengsheng. She didn"t know if Qin Gengxin knew she was here or not, and because his back was facing her, she couldn"t see his expression.

"This bracelet costs three to five million yuan. If it weren"t for you loving and doing charity, I wouldn"t even dare bid. What"s the point of spending ten million on this bracelet for a guy like Qin Gengxin?" Wei Zhengsheng whispered next to her.

Xian Guiying didn"t say anything but just stared at the bracelet on the stage. Since Qin Gengxin didn"t go up on stage to pick it up, someone specifically wrapped the bracelet in an expensive box and gave it to him.

Xian Guiying just glanced at the other auction items arranged on the stage, turned around, and said, "Brother Wei, please just bid randomly with the name of Xian Enterprise. I"m going to the washroom."

Wei Zhengsheng knew that she was thinking about Qin Gengxin. When Xian Guiying was about to leave, he stopped her. "Xiaoying?"

Xian Guiying smiled at him. "I just drank a lot of juice. I want to go to the washroom now."

Seeing her normal expression, Wei Zhengsheng let her go because this charity was so important and the two of them can"t leave together. He reminded her, "Then pay attention to your safety and don"t leave randomly."

Xian Guiying just nodded. After she walked out of the ballroom, she went straight to the washroom. Once she entered, she stood in front of the mirror to casually fix the makeup on her face to buy more time. As she was about to turn around and leave, a woman with a s.e.xy figure entered.

She was the woman Qin Gengxin brought from Las Vegas. Her name was Kelsey.

Xian Guiying had seen the picture of Kelsey and Qin Gengxin at a certain dinner party in the magazine, so she naturally recognized her. Now that she saw the real person, she had to admit that a woman like Kelsey was indeed a G.o.ddess.

When Kelsey came in and saw Xian Guiying, she only gave her a curious look before walking to the mirror to fix her makeup.

She clearly didn"t recognize her.

As Kelsey walked past Xian Guiying, the fragrance of her perfume was extremely enchanting. She felt a bit dazzled, so she turned around and looked at her again.

Kelsey looked at her through the mirror while fixing her makeup. "Do you know me, miss?" She asked in English.

"I don"t know you." Xian Guiying chuckled slightly. Her expression was light, but there were no signs of jealousy or envy in her eyes. She just looked at Kelsey calmly and said, "I just thought you were very beautiful."

"I know, a lot of people say that."

Xian Guiying was not disgusted with Kelsey"s arrogance. Women were born with a sense of pride. Since she had pride like this, then she should use it well.

Thus, Xian Guiying just smiled, looked at her again, and then left.

When she returned to the ballroom, Wei Zhengsheng had already bought a piece of Chinese-style jade, asking her if she liked it. She nodded and said that it was beautiful.

Afterwards, the two of them left after the charity dinner. When they walked out of the hotel where the dinner was being held, Wei Zhengsheng went to the parking lot before telling her to wait in front of the entrance. The night temperature was not cold at the moment, but the winds were strong.

While waiting for Wei Zhengsheng, Xian Guiying suddenly saw something. Since they were far away, she could not see their expressions clearly, but from Qin Gengxin"s actions, it seemed that he was in a good mood.

Then she saw him take out a blue bracelet and put it on Kelsey.

Kelsey hugged him happily and kissed him on the cheek. Qin Gengxin lowered his head and kissed her back.

It turned out that he had bid ten million for a bracelet to gift it to the beauty.

Xian Guiying smiled. When Wei Zhengsheng stopped the car in front of the hotel entrance, she didn"t stop for a second to look back and went straight into the car. It was as if she saw nothing.

In the car, Xian Guiying suddenly asked, "Brother Wei, you"re almost thirty and never have a relationship, aren"t you embarra.s.sed?"

Wei Zhengsheng immediately turned to look at her. "What are you talking about? Where does this question come from?"

Xian Guiying knew Wei Zhengsheng was clear about some things, so she didn"t avoid him. She just raised her shoulders and put her handbag to the side. Looking at the retreating lights, she said softly, "I just suddenly don"t know what I"ve been so stubborn about."

Wei Zhengsheng smiled and went to hold her hand, "It"s not too late to think about it now. Xiaoying, I.."

Xian Guiying looked down at his hand, smiled, and took her hand away. "I"m kidding."

It was clear that she was pushing him away, but Wei Zhengsheng didn"t force her. He just pulled his hand away and continued to hold the steering wheel with a smile and said, "What you can"t get is always the best. I thought you wouldn"t be so stubborn. Perhaps, in your heart, you really have a character that doesn"t turn back unless you hit the wall."

Xian Guiying laughed to herself but said nothing.

Back at the house, she stood by the window and looked out into the night.

If she hadn"t hit the wall, she wouldn"t have looked back?

Were the things she couldn"t always get the best?

Did that Qin Gengxin also have the same feelings for Jiang Ruolan?

Was it really because he can"t get her, he thought she"s the best?

Until no one can replace her?

But why could Kelsey or any other woman but not her?

At the same time having Jiang Ruolan in his heart, he can have s.e.x with other women he didn"t love at all?

And yet, she still stuck to that unrequited love that may not bear fruit, unable to approach another man.

"So, Qin Gengxin, is it you who doesn"t understand love, or is it me?"
