Chapter 369: Chapter 370: Immoral and Inhuman, Struck by Lightning from Heaven
The next day.
The first thing Xia Yangyang did was to go to Shen Manbing’s room.
Xia Yangyang woke up several times during the night.
It always felt like her heart was hanging.
She didn’t know why, but she always felt that yesterday’s event was suspicious.
She was constantly worrying that something was going to happen.
In the whole Shengting International Hotel, this building only had two presidential suites.
One was Xia Yangyang’s room and the other belonged to Shen Manbing.
However, the two rooms were quite far apart.
One would have to traverse a long corridor.
Just as Xia Yangyang had crossed the corridor and arrived at Shen Manbing’s door…
She saw the door to Shen Manbing’s room open.
Shen Shichuan was walking out from inside.
Normally, this wouldn’t be worth fretting over.
After all, Shen Shichuan was Shen Manbing’s brother.
Yesterday, it was Shen Shichuan who had taken Shen Manbing away.
But what was strange was that Shen Shichuan was actually still wearing yesterday’s clothes.
Especially seeing Xia Yangyang’s expression, a trace of panic flickered in his usually calm eyes.
Shen Shichuan was always meticulous with his appearance.
But today, it looked as if he just woke up and hadn’t yet had time to groom himself.
Although not in a state of disarray, on the contrary, he had a slightly disheveled look.
But Xia Yangyang still found this exceptionally strange.
When Shen Shichuan saw Xia Yangyang standing by the door, he was seemingly stunned for a moment.
Xia Yangyang asked reflexively, almost blurted out, “Did you…did you sleep here last night?”
Shen Shichuan seemed to choke, without even drinking water.
He formed a fist with his fingers and coughed lightly twice, “Yangyang, good morning, are you here for Manbing? She hasn’t gotten up yet, I have some errands to run, so I’m leaving first.”
Having said that, Shen Shichuan forced a small smile and then strode away rapidly.
Xia Yangyang was genuinely puzzled.
Today’s Shen Shichuan was too different from his usual demeanor.
Xia Yangyang entered Shen Manbing’s room.
Shen Manbing was still lying in bed, asleep.
Half of her arm was revealed outside the blanket.
Her long hair was described as waterfall-like, her wavy hairstyle was enchanting and attractive.
However, Shen Manbing was clearly awake.
With her eyes wide open, she stared at the ceiling in a daze, her face filled with despair.
But a beauty still remained a beauty.
Xia Yangyang looked at Shen Manbing, who seemed like just awoken sleeping beauty.
Bewildered and astonished…
Even as Xia Yangyang walked to the edge of the bed, Shen Manbing still didn’t react.
She didn’t even blink her eyelids, acting stingily.
Seeing her like this, Xia Yangyang became even more concerned.
“Sister Bingbing, what happened? You’re scaring me.”
Xia Yangyang bent down and clasped Shen Manbing’s hand.
Suddenly, Shen Manbing grabbed her own hair and, filled with remorse, began to roll on the bed.
“What should I do, what should I do, what should I do? I’m going mad!”
“What on earth happened?”
Shen Manbing abruptly sat up, her hair disheveled and pasted on her face, looked at Xia Yangyang with despair and said, as if she wanted to bite off her tongue, “I forced myself on my brother last night.”
Xia Yangyang was thoroughly dumbfounded.
Actually, when she saw Shen Shichuan just now, Xia Yangyang already had an inkling of what might have happened.
But she tried her best to not to let her thoughts go in that direction.
Since Xia Yangyang knew how much Shen Shichuan held his feelings in check, there was no way he’d do something like this.
But upon hearing Shen Manbing’s confession, Xia Yangyang was truly stunned.
Shen Manbing ran her slender fingers through her hair, clearly in a lot of distress, “I’m a total beast. Why did I have to drink so much? My brother is so innocent, he’s never even had a girlfriend, and now I’ve violated him. I truly owe my future sister-in-law. I’ve committed a grave sin, deserving of divine punishment..”
