Chapter 276: Chapter 274: Isn’t It Normal to Like Her?

Lu Zhaozhao could clearly feel the emotional fluctuations in Song Sinian. She also clung tightly to him and soothed in a soft voice, “I can promise that, but… I’m afraid what I’m going to ask for soon might make you unhappy…”

She looked at Song Sinian a bit nervously as she said this.

She had actually planned to sneak off and do it when the time came, but seeing how Song Sinian was ready to blow up just because she ate some mustard for her sake, she decided to tell the truth instead.

That way, if something really did happen, she could at least play dumb…

Seeing her anxious little expression, Song Sinian gently kissed the tip of her nose, “You’ll have to tell me before I know whether I’ll be unhappy or not.”

Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips slightly, “Actually, I want to go see Doctor Tian with you.”

Song Sinian’s dark pupils blinked, seemingly unsurprised, “Do you want to see her for hypnosis to retrieve your lost memories?”

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes widened in surprise as she stared at Song Sinian, somewhat astonished by how he had guessed her thoughts.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t he be thinking about his own psychological treatment?

Mr. Song from their family, however, was different from the others, seeing right through to the essence through the facade.

Lu Zhaozhao nodded, her eyes unwavering as she watched Song Sinian, as if trying to discern something from his facial expression.

But the next second, she felt that her idea was silly.

If Song Sinian was the type of person whose thoughts were written all over his face, how could she have failed to notice anything in her last life?

Song Sinian took Lu Zhaozhao’s little hand and kissed it, “I’ve said before, no matter what you want, I’ll bring it to you. I won’t stop you from doing anything you wish, as long as it doesn’t affect your safety.”

His dark eyes stayed fixed on Lu Zhaozhao, the affection in them clearly visible.

Lu Zhaozhao nodded repeatedly, “Mm, I understand! I promise I won’t act rashly!”

“Mm.”

Although Song Sinian responded to Lu Zhaozhao, his eyes darkened significantly.

He knew that Lu Zhaozhao was simple-hearted and wouldn’t overthink the issue of amnesia, but to him, it was different.

Since he couldn’t stop Lu Zhaozhao, he would have to stay by her side, clearing any obstacles for her.

The night grew increasingly intense.

Inside the hotel, Xia Wenjin and Justin were lying on the big bed in their room.

Only a floor lamp beside the bed was turned on in the room.

Under the dim yellow light, Xia Wenjin gently tugged at the covers and looked towards Justin, “Darling, I’ve been so humiliated today all because of that slut Lu Zhaozhao. Can you help me?”

She curled her arm around Justin’s waist, looking at him with a particularly aggrieved expression.

Listening to the words beside him, Justin sneered inwardly, his gaze sweeping over Xia Wenjin’s face.

He had to admire her nerve.

Despite the overwhelming public condemnation outside, with the evidence nailed down, she still managed to play the victim in front of him.

Justin ran his hand over her head, not showing the slightest bit of dislike for Xia Wenjin on the surface.

They were just using each other, each for their own benefit.

Besides, her looks and figure were very much to his taste, and since she could help him deal with Song Keren, keeping her quiet lately, Justin didn’t mind what people outside were saying about Xia Wenjin.

What’s more, he still needed Xia Wenjin to help him with something even more important.

“Jin, you’re just too naive, that’s why you ended up being taken advantage of like this.” Justin watched Xia Wenjin with patience, his tone slow.

He didn’t seem angry, nor did he seem to be mocking.

Xia Wenjin couldn’t tell what he was trying to express at the moment.

Weren’t men supposed to be the most susceptible to pillow talk when in bed?

Could it be that her method of operation was wrong?

She hesitated and bit her lip, looking at Justin, “I, I don’t understand what you mean…”

But Justin suddenly laughed, pinching Xia Wenjin’s chin and gently caressing it, “You’re so smart, how could you be fooled by appearances? You’ve always wanted to beat Lu Zhaozhao, but you’ve only ever taken action against her. Have you ever thought about why she always wins against you?”

Xia Wenjin felt even guiltier now because the man in front of her not only knew about her rivalry with Lu Zhaozhao, but also that she deliberately caused trouble for her.

She looked up at Justin, only to find that there wasn’t a hint of displeasure in his expression.

Somewhat surprised, she blinked and said instinctively, “Isn’t it because Lu Zhaozhao is too cunning?”

Justin shook his head gently, “Think about it more carefully, a Lu Zhaozhao who has left the Lu Family has almost no power to fight against them. How could she fight back against you over and over again?”

“…”

Xia Wenjin didn’t speak, just staring steadily at Justin, as if waiting for his answer.

If she knew the answer, she wouldn’t be so thoroughly crushed by Lu Zhaozhao.

She detested that woman to death, yet she had no way to deal with her.

If Justin knew… could she easily outshine Lu Zhaozhao then?

Although Xia Wenjin’s emotions were fleeting, Justin captured them accurately.

His smile grew even brighter, “The reason why Lu Zhaozhao always has the upper hand over you is because she has a backer behind her, Song Sinian.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Wenjin’s face darkened a bit.

How could she not know?

She had tried to seduce Song Sinian before, but that man was like he was sick, his heart and eyes filled with only Lu Zhaozhao.

She even spent time trying to please Old Master Song, only to find out that she had offended him a long time ago.

What could she do?

If she could turn back time, she would definitely not provoke Old Master Song. No! She would marry Song Sinian earlier!

Then everything would have been hers!

But now these thoughts were useless; she could no longer win Song Sinian’s heart, much less marry him.

She knew it better than anyone.

Whatever Xia Wenjin was thinking, how could Justin not know?

He scoffed at it in his heart, but his face reassured her softly, “Sometimes you have to change your perspective to deal with a problem. If you want to defeat Lu Zhaozhao, you should think of ways to weaken or eliminate her support, right?”

Xia Wenjin instantly pouted, “It’s not like I haven’t tried. I’ve tried to make Song Sinian lose interest in Lu Zhaozhao, but it’s useless. That man is spellbound when it comes to Lu Zhaozhao.”

She even believed that even if Lu Zhaozhao were to lie in bed with another man, as long as Lu Zhaozhao denied it, he would believe her.

So there was no way she could drive a wedge between them.

Justin, of course, also knew how much Song Sinian liked Lu Zhaozhao.

After all, a woman like Lu Zhaozhao, whether in terms of looks, family background, or personality, was hard not to like.

Isn’t it normal for Song Sinian to like her?

Any man faced with the choice between Xia Wenjin and Lu Zhaozhao would know whom to choose, right?
