Chapter 1556 - 1556 Hostility

1556 Hostility

Chi Shuyan didnt expect such a coincidence. At the thought that her ex-boyfriend was at a table half a meter away from her and she was sitting and eating with another man, Chi Shuyans first reaction was inexplicably to feel awkward.

But firstly, it had been a long time since they broke up, and secondly, he hadnt looked in her direction since he sat down.

Chi Shuyan couldnt be bothered to dwell on it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was most likely a coincidence that they had run into each other at the same restaurant.

Seeing that the other party was cold and distant ever since he sat down, and didnt plan to greet her, Chi Shuyan simply played along and didnt disturb him. She looked away and buried her head in the menu, pretending not to know him.

Chi Shuyan looked away, but Jing Hengran, who was opposite her, couldnt help but look at the stunning and extraordinary man next to them.

At first, Jing Hengran was indeed a little stunned by the tall man who had suddenly entered the restaurant. He had to admit that this man looked too good; as soon as he entered, even a big man like Jing Hengran perked up, let alone women. The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly froze because of this man.

Of course, what made Jing Hengran pay more attention to this man was that he felt that he looked a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldnt think where for a moment.

At the same time, this man, who stood out from the crowd, gave him a very dangerous feeling. Jing Hengran didnt like the aura around him at all. Even if this man was too good-looking, Jing Hengran felt that what this man showed wasnt his true appearance.

Jing Hengran was probably too lost in thought, so he was caught off guard when he suddenly met the mans cold and ruthless eyes. His heart jumped violently, and the words not a good person flashed through his mind. He immediately looked away.

Jing Hengrans heart thumped, but he quickly calmed down. His gaze fell on the young lady opposite him, and he subconsciously wanted to see if her attention was also on the man next to them.

The mans looks and bearing were really too outstanding.

Whether it was in terms of pill refinement or spirit tea, Jing Hengran felt that it was very necessary for him to woo the young lady in front of him.

In addition, he was also sincere in his feelings toward her. He really liked her and had a very good impression of her.

Jing Hengran had been very confident in wooing the young lady in front of him before, but now that such an outstanding man had suddenly appeared, he was quite worried and nervous.

After all, he was well aware how attractive this man was. He was afraid that the young lady in front of him would be attracted to the man next to them.

When he saw that the young lady was only focused on the menu and didnt even look at the man next to them, Jing Hengran was very satisfied. At the same time, he felt that the woman he was interested in was indeed extraordinary.

Looking at how most of the women in the restaurant were looking at the man next to them, Jing Hengran felt even more moved.

Chi Shuyan didnt know what Jing Hengran was thinking. If she did, she would probably laugh. Who said she didnt care about looks?

If not for looks, could she and Qi Zhenbai have gotten together back then?

She hadnt been obsessed with looks before, but when she started dating Qi Zhenbai, she felt that his looks accounted for a lot of it; she couldnt deny it.

She could only say that it wasnt that she was immune to Qi Zhenbais looks to some extent, but that she had seen too much of him in the past, so she wouldnt stare blankly at him. Moreover, given their current relations.h.i.+p, she didnt want to act clingy and be despised for it.

She felt that this was most likely what the other party was thinking as well.

That was why she focused on the menu and not on the man next to her. If it were a stranger with such good looks, she really wouldnt have overlooked the opportunity to admire him for a while.

Jing Hengran was quite satisfied with Chi Shuyans behavior, but he still probed, Given this mans looks, if I didnt know better, I would have thought he was a movie star.

Chi Shuyans attention wasnt on media celebrities, but on the fact that Jing Hengran still followed entertainment gossip while he was cultivating.

Jing Hengran felt that the young lady in front of him was focusing on the wrong thing. He said with a smile, Its not that I follow entertainment gossip in particular, but I catch up on current events. After all, there are times when I can cultivate in seclusion for several years. Im afraid of not being able to keep up with the times!

Chi Shuyan nodded in understanding.

Jing Hengrans attention swiftly turned back to the man with the strong presence. He frowned and said, Shuyan, I keep feeling that this man is a little familiar, but I cant figure out where Ive seen him before. Do you know him?

Because of the latter half of the question, Chi Shuyan ignored the way the other party called her name intimately. She couldnt help but recall how Qi Zhenbai had appeared outside her villa. The two men had met once before, but it had been dark and the other party had been backlit by the headlights, so it made sense that Jing Hengran hadnt seen his face clearly. It was no wonder that he felt that the man next to them was familiar.

However, Chi Shuyan didnt plan to say much. If she did, the other party would probably ask her about her relations.h.i.+p with the man next to them.

As for her past relations.h.i.+p with Qi Zhenbai, she didnt want to mention it at all. Besides, she wasnt close to Jing Hengran yet, so she simply shook her head and cut off the topic. I dont know him!

Chi Shuyan didnt notice that when Jing Hengran called her Shuyan intimately, the teacup in Qi Zhenbais hand paused and his knuckles turned slightly white.

When she said that she didnt know him, the malevolence in the depths of the mans eyes surged up bit by bit, and he almost lost control of the baleful aura in his body. It was only when he touched the Buddhist beads around his wrist expressionlessly that the baleful aura that had just surged out of his body was suppressed, but the malevolence and gloom in his eyes couldnt be suppressed. They churned and didnt dissipate for a long time, and his face was very unsightly.

At that moment, the light was bright and the mans skin was cold and white. His face was very pale, which inexplicably made ones heart ache.

When a waitress came over, she was worried by the tall mans pale face. She thought that he was seriously ill. The waitress was about to approach him gently and ask in a low voice what was wrong, when her heart thumped violently and she swallowed.

After taking his order, the waitress immediately left in a fl.u.s.ter, running as fast as she could, as if something was chasing her.

Chi Shuyan couldnt help but pay attention to her ex-boyfriend and the waitress. For one thing, the commotion caused by the waitress running away was too big, and for another, his face was too pale.

In the end, they werent really strangers, so Chi Shuyan couldnt help but pay attention. If the other party really fainted from illness, she was still willing to help call an ambulance.

After paying attention to the other party for a while and confirming that he was fine, Chi Shuyan relaxed and continued to drink her water expressionlessly.

Jing Hengran didnt have a good dinner this time. He felt like someone was staring at him from behind, and his back and heart felt cold.

At the same time, he keenly sensed that the man next to them seemed a little hostile toward him. The way he looked at him was a bit cold and there was no warmth in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person. It made Jing Hengran jump in fright and forget to talk about the spirit tea with the young lady in front of him.

Jing Hengran didnt eat at all. When the two left the restaurant, he heaved a sigh of relief, and offered to send Chi Shuyan back to her villa.

Chi Shuyan was still trying to figure out why Jing Hengran had asked her out this time. At first, she thought that it was because of the spirit tea, but he never brought it up. Could it be that she had guessed wrongly? He didnt want to talk business with her at all, and just wanted to ask her out for a meal?

At the thought that the other party was a little interested in her, Chi Shuyan didnt dare take his car again. She immediately found an excuse to refuse.

This time, because of the cold gaze on Jing Hengrans back when they had been eating earlier, he didnt press her. He nodded and then drove away.
