Chapter 31: Betray Me

Small garden, a pavilion.

Stone tables, a zither.

White clothes, a woman.

The woman was playing the zither. That clear and smooth zither sound was comparable to a river flow, easing one's heart.

A light wind gently swept pa.s.sed, carrying with it the fragrance of flowers. The area was filled with a dense mist.

Her slim and white fingers danced on the zither strings, exactly whose heartstrings did the strings touched?

A soft 'ga zhi' sounded out.

Far away, the large door was slowly pushed open.

In that instant, her white robe fluttered in the wind and the zither sound surged, as if it wanted to intertwine with the wind currents within the precipice, as the sound resounded for quite a while.

Followed closely, her actions suddenly slowed down. The zither sound became elegantly suave with a tinge of sorrow, like the aroma of osmanthus flowers.

A bout of soft footsteps sounded out, however, that woman did not raise her head. Eventually, that person walked to her side.

"Elder Sister is so spirited…"

That person who walked in was gorgeous woman adorned in a yellow cheong sam that was filled with swan patterns. Although she did not put on any cosmetics, her face was extremely exquisite, leaving no room for one to nitpick at.

The white robed woman stopped her actions as she raised her head and plainly smiled, "Yu Qing, how come you are here?"

"I haven't seen Elder Sister for so long, hence, I've brought a piece of good news for Elder Sister."

"Good news?"

"That person is back, and he's searching for you everywhere. He even created an uproar a few days ago because of you. Do you want to know…"

The white robed woman was dazed for a while, however, she immediately recovered.

While lowering her head, she speedily said, "Enough, I don't want to hear."

Listening to her tone, it seemed like she was slightly unhappy.

The yellow cheong sam woman named Yu Qing was taken back for a moment. She did not expect this kind of reaction from her sister.

Hence, she bent slightly forward and carefully asked, "Elder Sister, you don't miss him?"

"Miss him? I sacrificed so much for him and yet, he betrayed me. Why would I still miss him? Ever since the day he left, I have already decided, in this life, I never want to see him again!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier the white robed woman got. Without waiting for the yellow cheong sam woman to speak, she continued, "Yu Qing, you go back. My mood is not good today, I would like to be left alone."

The yellow cheong sam woman frowned as she attempted to spot anything unusual on the white robed woman.

However, the white robed woman's head was lowered, so she could not see her expression.

After hesitating for a while, the yellow cheong sam woman smiled and gently said, "Alright then, please rest well Elder Sister. I will be taking my leave."

After that, she turned around and returned down the path that she came from.

A soft 'ga zhi' sounded out again.

The large door had been closed once again.

The white robed woman finally raised her head and glanced at the large door.

Since when was there fury on her face, there was only confusion and sorrow.

She glanced sideways at the zither, her brows lowered.

Suddenly, a crystal-like teardrop slowly rolled down the corner of her eyes.

… … …

… … …

Early next morning.

Upon entering the office, Lin Xuan's phone rang.

She looked at her phone and saw that it was a message from w.a.n.g Lu.

"Xuan Xuan, did you watch the news yesterday? Is it because of Chen Xi? He's so f*cking formidable!"

Lin Xuan paused for a while before she swiftly replied, "Not sure. But I think it's Chen Xi's doing, after all, he is still finding Ying Ying."

"Definitely! I thought that Chen Xi was not that well-off these few years. Who would have thought that the silent bird amazed the world with just one cry, he's so f*cking OP. My friend circle even maxed out. I left a message saying Qin Ruo Ying was my cla.s.smate, however not even one of them believed me. Ah! This is angering this boss to death!"

Lin Xuan typed out a sentence. However, after thinking for a while, she pressed the delete b.u.t.ton and re-typed, "What about Zhao Yuan? How is his condition now?

w.a.n.g Lu seemed to be extremely free, within seconds, she replied, "He's still hospitalized. However, listening to Li Xiu Wen, he said that Zhao Yuan's family refused to investigate the matter. However, I'm not really clear about the details."

"Refuse to investigate?"

Lin Xuan sat down on her seat, no one knew what she was thinking of while holding her phone.

w.a.n.g Lu waited for a while and when she saw that Lin Xuan did not reply, she continued to send a message, "Xuan Xuan, what is Chen Xi working as? I heard that even if you have money, the ad s.p.a.ce on Fu Cheng building will not be allocated to you. For Chen Xi to be able to book the whole night, it must not be that simple right?

Her phone vibrated, waking Lin Xuan from her messy thoughts.

"I only he has been taking care of his child at home recently, as for what he does in detail, I have no clue."

"Got to work, talk to you later.”

2 messages all at once.

After sending the message, Lin Xuan sat in front of her office desk and thoughtfully gazed out the window.

Her office was situated at quite a good spot, it was at the 23rd floor of the turning corner of the building. She could overlook the entire Dian river and Zhong Shan street when standing at the window.

… … …

Recalling back to last night.

Not long after 'Qin Ruo Ying' these few words were lit up, Lin Xuan had already came before Fu Cheng building.

She raised her head and looking at the piercing LED lights, she carefully read every single word on it.

Although she was not sure if this was caused by Chen Xi, Lin Xuan had already subconsciously determined that only Chen Xi would do such a thing.

Some things are able to touch one's heart.

Hence, even if the person of concern was not them, or even if the main characters of the ad were not the Chen Xi and Qin Ruo Ying that she knew, Lin Xuan could not help but be moved to tears.

On the other side of Dian river.

Chen Xi sat down on the bench, which he sat there for several hours.

Suddenly, an urgent ringtone sounded, interrupting him from his chaotic thoughts.

Looking at the caller, it was from Aunty Zhang.

Chen Xi then noticed that the time was already at 9pm.

As for him, he had sat there for 6 solid hours.

Due to him being too absorbed in his own thoughts, he had long forgotten that he had told Aunty Zhang that he would be coming home for dinner.

"h.e.l.lo? Aunty Zhang?"

Chen Xi immediately connected the call.

However, Aunty Zhang's voice did not come from the other side and instead, it was the little kiddo's loud and powerful voice, "PAPA! When are you coming back ah?"

When he heard his daughter's sweet voice, Chen Xi immediately smiled and answered, "Now. Papa has already gotten off work. I will go home now."

"Then I will wait for you at home. Papa faster!"

"Ok!"

"Papa run!"

"Ok, ok, ok!"

"Horsey run faster! Go! Go! Go, go, go!" The little kiddo started playing with Chen Xi on the phone.

Hence, Chen Xi immediately mimicked the sound of a horse and answered, "Neigh, neigh, neigh…"

The little kiddo hugged the phone as she burst into bouts of laughter. However, Aunty Zhang came and took over the phone. She then instructed Chen Xi, "Don't listen to the words of this silly child. Chen Xi, watch the roads when you are crossing, be careful. You haven't eat yet right? I will heat up the dinner now, it should be done by the time you return…"

"Okay Aunty Zhang. Sorry for the trouble."

"Stop standing on ceremony with me. Be careful on your way home and don't rush. We will wait for you."
