Chapter 333: Saving the Paranoid and Vengeful Business Leader 77
Ji Xingyan: “…”
Xue Shuran then continued to complain: "If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. If you have already agreed, you must take it seriously. How can you be a deserter? Are you a man?"
Ji Xingyan: “…”
"Wait!" Xue Shuran suddenly exclaimed, and said doubtfully: "Brother, is this friend you are talking about you yourself?"
"How could it be..." There was a rare hint of nervousness in Ji Xingyan's voice, and he hurriedly wanted to deny it.
When Xue Shuran heard Ji Xingyan's slightly guilty tone, she was completely certain of her guess and ruthlessly exposed him: "Brother! Stop pretending! How could a man like you possibly have a male friend who would talk to you about this kind of thing!"
Ji Xingyan: “…”
"What kind of person am I?"
Xue Shuran uttered a "tsk" and mercilessly gave her most honest review, "You're obviously not the kind of confidant big brother. Besides, you've never been in a relationship, so how could anyone possibly come to you for advice on relationship issues?"
Ji Xingyan: “…”
"I was wondering why Wen Yang looked so uninterested whenever I mentioned you to him recently. It turns out this is the reason! Hey! Brother, how could you agree to someone's confession and then hide from her? Your behavior would make girls so sad!" Xue Shuran expressed strong condemnation without mercy.
Seeing that the truth was revealed, Ji Xingyan stopped pretending to be stubborn.
"You guessed right, I didn't handle this matter well..."
But the real reason why he escaped was hard to explain.
Ever since he remembered what happened after he got drunk, he didn't know what expression he should use to face Wen Yang.
And as long as he stayed in the villa, he felt that the restlessness in his body could not be calmed down.
Whenever he saw Wen Yang, his mind would be filled with those images and he would be unable to think about anything else.
This is the first time Ji Xingyan has encountered such a situation in all these years.
If he stayed in the same room with Wen Yang all the time, he would most likely not be able to control himself, which would lead to an accidental discharge of the conflict and might hurt Wen Yang. He didn't want this relationship to become a fast-food relationship, nor did he want to become an irresponsible man like his biological father.
But he couldn't tell Xue Shuran directly about these reasons.
Besides, he is indeed a deserter as Xue Shuran said, and he has no way of denying this fact.
When Xue Shuran heard Ji Xingyan admit it, she sighed heavily, "Hey, brother, what are you thinking? Why do you feel unable to face Wen Yang?"
"I think the decision to be together at that time was too hasty. If she finds out in the future that I am not her type, she will regret being with me..." Ji Xingyan said slowly.
"Brother." Xue Shuran's tone on the phone suddenly became serious.
"I find you can be quite paranoid sometimes."
After Xue Shuran said this, Ji Xingyan fell silent.
However, Xue Shuran ignored the silence and continued to question: "Wen Yang likes you, that is Wen Yang's feelings. Even if she regrets it, it is Wen Yang's own business. What qualifications do you have to regret it for her in advance?"
"You said on the surface that you were afraid Wen Yang would regret it later, but in fact, this was just an excuse you made for yourself to escape, wasn't it?"
Ji Xingyan sighed deeply. After listening to Xue Shuran's words, he realized that he was not as mature as his sister in dealing with feelings.
"You're right...I'm really too paranoid..."
Xue Shuran felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Ji Xingyan's admission.
Her tone softened a bit. "Brother, I actually understand why you're so paranoid. I had similar thoughts to yours a few years ago... But I later discovered that being too paranoid really makes us ignore many beautiful relationships."
"So, try to be honest with yourself from now on, and stop punishing yourself for your mother abandoning you."
"We are grown up now and have our own abilities. We don't have to worry about being abandoned by anyone anymore."
Xue Shuran's words were like a sharp arrow, piercing through the dark and heavy clouds in his heart.
The arrow not only pierced the darkness that enveloped his soul, but also drilled a small hole in the wall of his heart that he had built for himself.
After a long silence, Ji Xingyan replied with difficulty: "Okay."
Hearing Ji Xingyan's agreement, Xue Shuran showed a relieved smile.
"I've said what I need to say, brother. Remember to take care of Wen Yang when you have time. Otherwise, if Wen Yang gets kidnapped, don't blame me for not informing you. Okay, it's getting late here. I'm going to wash up and rest. Bye, brother."
"OK, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Xingyan opened the address book on his mobile phone.
During the days he was on a business trip, he never had the courage to communicate directly with Wen Yang using his own identity, so these days, he used Liang Runcheng's account to greet him.
Now he finally made up his mind to be honest with his heart and use his identity to show care for Wen Yang.
However, after he sent the greeting message, he did not receive a reply from Wen Yang for a long time.
