Chasing My Husband! The "Crown Prince" of the Beijing Circle Is Wildly Unruly! - Chapter 18

Wang Xinghe was on his way to Kyoto. The passing scenery rushed by, but he was a person who had lost over ten pounds. The sweater he wore hung loosely on him.

Lu Jingze was very difficult to see. He was now so busy that it was impossible to see him at an ordinary event. Wang Xinghe was temporarily living in Zhao Yan’s private villa in the suburbs. He didn’t want to accept Zhao Yan’s kindness, so he paid a thousand yuan a day for rent and ordered all his own food from delivery apps.

Zhao Yan was both angry and helpless. But he didn’t want to give up any opportunity to be alone with Wang Xinghe.

“Lu Jingze is in the middle of a lot of business. It’ll take some time to see him,” Zhao Yan said, preparing him for the long wait.

Wang Xinghe nodded. He was starting to not understand himself either. What was the purpose of coming all the way to Kyoto to see Lu Jingze? His mind told him that he was on a fruitless mission. Lu Jingze had left a note, and he could guess that his identity was extraordinary.

But he still wanted to come and see for himself. He even thought that coming here to say a final goodbye and have a peaceful breakup would be a good thing.

Yes. A peaceful breakup. Wang Xinghe hypnotized himself with this thought, and he felt much better. He lay down on the sofa on the first floor. The moment he figured things out, he felt incredibly sleepy. He curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.

When Zhao Yan came back from work, he saw him curled up on the sofa, a small bundle of a person. Zhao Yan’s heart melted. He took a blanket and gently covered him. The person on the sofa had a pale face, long black eyelashes, and a beautiful nose and mouth. If his hair were a little longer, people would believe he was a great beauty.

Zhao Yan knelt on the plush carpet in front of the sofa, his eyes filled with sorrow and undisguised affection. “Why can’t you make an exception for me just this once?” Zhao Yan’s voice was soft, as if he was afraid of waking the sleeping person.

Perhaps it was the three years of high school together, but Zhao Yan understood Wang Xinghe’s personality too well. He didn’t dare to do anything else. He only dared to gently pick him up, carry him to the room on the second floor, tuck him into bed, and sit by his side, just looking at him. It was a kind of comfort for his unrequited love.

Wang Xinghe stayed for half a month. Finally, Zhao Yan found an opportunity for him to see Lu Jingze in public.

In April, when all the flowers are in full bloom, Kyoto’s sunlight was bright, and the city was in full bloom. Zhao Yan took Wang Xinghe in his car to a groundbreaking ceremony.

Lu Jingze was going to be there to cut the ribbon. It was a huge project that he had worked hard to get, and Zhao Yan had received confirmed news that Lu Jingze would be there. The Zhao family also had invitations, so Zhao Yan brought Wang Xinghe along.

Wang Xinghe was wearing a simple white sweater, light blue jeans, and white sneakers. He looked gentle and handsome. Zhao Yan loved to see him in white. It complemented his skin tone perfectly.

He was so beautiful, so beautiful. Zhao Yan couldn’t find the words to describe Wang Xinghe’s beauty. It was the kind of beauty that had attracted him at first sight in high school. It was the kind of beauty that he never got tired of looking at for three years. It was the kind of beauty that made him fall deeper and deeper in love the more he got to know him. It was a gentle, composed light. When he stood there, it seemed that all the lights in the world were not as radiant as he was.

Wang Xinghe stood nervously by the car at the entrance. Zhao Yan had told him that Lu Jingze’s car would park right here.

Car after car of luxury vehicles came and went, but Wang Xinghe still hadn’t seen the person he had come to see. He unconsciously clenched his hands.

Zhao Yan looked at him and felt a pang of regret. What if the desensitization therapy doesn’t work for him? Zhao Yan’s eyebrows furrowed in anxiety. But the arrow had already been shot.

Screech—

A Rolls-Royce with a license plate number starting with 8 stopped smoothly at the entrance of the lobby.

The bodyguards and staff, all wearing tailored black suits, looked powerful and impressive. There were a total of eight of them. From the back seat, a pair of shiny black leather shoes came out first. Then, a man with a slicked-back hairstyle, wearing a custom-made, perfectly tailored dark brown suit, stepped out of the car.

A secretary was explaining the contents of a document to him.

Wang Xinghe clearly saw the familiar, handsome face.

His blood rushed through his veins, and his heart leaped into his throat. He summoned all his courage and called out, “Lu Jingze.”

Instantly, everyone’s eyes turned to him.

A flash of surprise crossed Lu Jingze’s eyes. Then, he looked at him with a calm and confused expression and said coldly, “Sir, we are not acquainted. Please do not claim to know me casually.”

At that moment, the bodyguards came forward and stood in front of him.

Wang Xinghe felt as if a knife had been plunged into his heart. He laughed bitterly and nodded. “My apologies. I’ve mistaken you for someone else.”

Lu Jingze no longer looked at him. He turned and walked into the lobby.

Wang Xinghe’s heart ached until it went numb.

Zhao Yan opened the car door and pulled him inside. Wang Xinghe sat silently in the back seat.

“Could you tell me who he is?” Wang Xinghe asked calmly.

Zhao Yan nodded. “Lu Jingze. The only grandson of the Old Master of Kyoto. He’s also the designated heir to the Lu family.”

“The Lu family’s businesses are all over the world. They include luxury goods, electronic technology, mining…”

Before Zhao Yan could finish, Wang Xinghe nodded, interrupting him. “I see.”

Their lives were as different as heaven and earth. They were destined not to be from the same world. So, the watch he had left behind must have been a valuable one. It was his way of saying that the watch was enough to pay for a comfortable life.

So… from the very beginning, he was faking amnesia. He had been played like a fool.

“Thank you, Zhao Yan. I feel much better now. I want to go to my old university.” He had come all this way to Kyoto, and besides going to his university, he also wanted to secretly check on his sister to see if she was doing well.

“Okay,” Zhao Yan said, driving to the Kyoto Academy of Fine Arts.

Wang Xinghe looked at the place where he had spent many years and walked inside.

Zhao Yan wanted to follow, but his phone rang. It was Qian Siyue.

He answered the call, confused.

“Zhao Yan, who was that handsome man who stopped the Crown Prince today?” Qian Siyue asked on speakerphone.

Across from him sat the gloomy-faced Ji Yuheng. Qian Siyue wanted to kill himself. Why did he have to mention that he knew Zhao Yan?

Zhao Yan looked at the figure disappearing into the school and felt a little annoyed. “Just someone who made a mistake.”

“He’s my high school classmate. I brought him to Beijing to play.” Zhao Yan hung up the phone in a hurry and began looking for Wang Xinghe’s figure in the school.

With just one look from Ji Yuheng, Qian Siyue knew what he was thinking.

Just then, one of his subordinates whispered something in Ji Yuheng’s ear. Ji Yuheng’s beautiful eyebrows rose. “Oh? Interesting. You said the car that took Lu Jingze was a Lu-B, not a Rongcheng car?”

Ji Yuheng probably guessed that he had been played by Lu Jingze. He was so angry that he threw everything in the room.

“Find out for me! Who was he with during those two months in Qingcheng!”

Qian Siyue’s heart sank. Wasn’t Zhao Yan’s high school the number two high school in Qingcheng? And he just said that handsome man was his high school classmate.

All the hairs on his body stood on end. It wasn’t that Qian Siyue liked to overthink things, but if Lu Jingze really had a connection with a man, Ji Yuheng would never let go of this opportunity. He would bite a piece of flesh off Lu Jingze.

And when that happened, they would be caught in the crossfire. Qian Siyue had a headache and thought to himself, It’s over. This is really going to get messy.
