SWNOVELS Chapter 13
Even If I Don’t Like It, I Won’t Let You Have It
The moment Gina saw Li Shengxia, her face turned sour.
In the past, she had always liked to snatch things away from Li Shengxia. She even asked Li Shengxia to pass a love letter from her to Mo Nianchen, but Mo Nianchen tossed it away without even reading it.
After that, she did not give up and pursued Mo Nianchen for a long time.
He finally said icily, “How annoying you are! You’re so ugly, yet you keep popping up!”
Gina was so shocked she transferred to another school…
She thought that Mo Nianchen would look at her in a new, admiring light now that she was pretty, but he still would not look at her.
In his eyes, there was always only… Li Shengxia.
Later on, she even got plastic surgery to look more like Li Shengxia. Who would have thought, Mo Nianchen actually agreed to date her! Although it was only for seven days, she would never forget it. Her only regret was that he always kept his distance and did not allow her to get close. She had never even touched his hand.
Even so, when they broke up, she received a massive breakup fee. With this money, she quickly broke into the entertainment industry.
She never expected that, after so many years, the one beside Mo Nianchen was still Li Shengxia!
This man, who would become livid anytime she got too close to him, was now so intimate with Li Shengxia. There was no gap between them!
Gina’s eyes showed jealousy. She suddenly remembered something and immediately put the sunglasses back on. She did not want Li Shengxia to see that her face was an imitation of Li Shengxia’s! That would be too demeaning!
Gina said to Li Shengxia haughtily, “I saw this blouse first. You don’t mind letting me have it, right? I’m willing to buy it at twice the price. How’s that — you’re delighted, right?”
Delighted?
Not in the slightest!
Was Gina so obsessed with snatching everything from Li Shengxia? Whether Li Shengxia liked it or not, as long as it belonged to her, Gina would want it too.
“You’re still not satisfied? Three times the price! I can’t go higher than that.” Gina furrowed her brow.
Li Shengxia still did not speak,
Gina gave her a vehement look and said in exasperation, “Li Shengxia, what else do you want? In any case, this blouse would be wasted on you. I’m willing to buy it at three times the price, and you’re still not happy?” What she did not say was, ‘Don’t think you can do whatever you like just because you’re supported by the crown prince!’
Li Shengxia kept thinking that, even though Gina was beautiful now, she seemed to resemble someone. Who, exactly, Li Shengxia could not recall at the moment. Anyway, Li Shengxia had never liked Gina, and now she liked her even less!
Li Shengxia rebuffed in a glacial voice, “Sorry, but I’ve decided that I want this blouse.”
Gina’s expression froze for a moment. She held back her vexation and said, “But I thought I heard you say that you don’t like it.”
Li Shengxia replied coolly, “That’s right, I don’t like it.”
“Then let me have it.”
“If it’s mine, I won’t let you have it even if I don’t like it.”
“You…” Gina’s expression started to falter. Li Shengxia was always like this. She always hogged Mo Nianchen, and even if she did not like nor want him, she would not let anyone touch him! Li Shengxia was such a loathsome woman.
Li Shengxia completely ignored the coldness in Gina’s eyes and said to the shop clerks, “Wrap this up for me!”
Shop Clerk One was dumbstruck and could not move. Shop Clerk Two dared not disobey and immediately wrapped up the blouse for Li Shengxia.
Li Shengxia took the plastic bag and dangled it thoughtfully, before stopping a cleaning lady who was sweeping nearby. With a smile, she said, “Auntie, this blouse is for you.”
The cleaning lady was highly astonished and was speechless for quite a while. “Mi… Miss…”
“What’s wrong? You don’t like it?”
“No… No…” She was too shocked. This blouse was worth several years of her salary! This was a blessing that fell straight into her lap!
The other two shop clerks looked on with irrepressible envy! Was this woman crazy? Or stupid? Was her brain waterlogged? Why did she give a priceless blouse to a cleaning lady! This was an outrageous waste!
“I offered money for it but you wouldn’t sell it to me. Instead, you give it to a cleaning lady for free! Can she do justice to this blouse? Can she bring out its worth? Its beauty?” Gina was losing it! She had wanted this blouse for so long — how could this happen!
“And you think you can bring out its elegance?” Li Shengxia glanced at the cleaning lady who was gripping the bag tightly, then said breezily to Gina, “Now, she’s the owner of the blouse. If you want to buy it, buy it from her.”
Gina was flabbergasted!
Li Shengxia would rather give something she did not want to a passerby than sell it to Gina!
Following that, Li Shengxia put on a disdainful face and looked around the store, saying coldly, “I really don’t think much of the stuff in this store. It’s flashy and vain but has no substance. There’s no need for them to stay in business, really.”
“You have good taste.” Mo Nianchen smiled in praise. With that, he held her by the waist and led her away without looking back.
Everyone in the place was petrified…
Shop Clerk One had just come back to her senses, realizing something. Could it be… Could it be that the pitiful, wretched woman was the crown prince’s girlfriend? Goodness… What was going on! Even a superstar like Gina was utterly crushed! It, Was, Terrifying!
Less than half a minute passed.
Shop Clerk One received a phone call— contemporary romance
“What did you two idiots do! Do you know who you’ve offended! That was the crown prince and princess of Emperor Heritage Group! Were you high or something when you dared to offend them! I’m in trouble because of you two morons! Pack your bags and get lost, don’t show your faces ever again, scram… Both of you, beat it, scram, don’t come back….”
Beep beep beep—
The call was cut short.
Shop Clerk One was too shocked to respond before she recalled what was just said, following which she shouted and cried into the receiver that only replied with a busy signal:
“What? I’m fired? Why? No, manager, please reconsider. I can’t live without this job! Manager… Manger? Hey… Hey!”
Shop Clerk Two was dumbfounded too, unable to utter a single word. She had sensed that those two were not ordinary customers, but she did not stop her group leader… They could not undo what they had done. Still, she could not believe that those two had barely stepped out the door, and already they were fired just like that?
Both of them were astounded.
Shop Clerk One dropped to the ground. “I’ve lost this job. What should I do now!”
“Not only that, but I’m afraid it’ll also be hard for you to survive in Y City any longer,” Gina added an icy reminder. She glared poisonously at Li Shengxia’s departing figure. She thought about how Mo Nianchen had held Li Shengxia’s waist, how intimate they had been, and she was overcome by an avalanche of fury.
