Chapter 20 - chase
“Ding dong—” A voice sounded from behind.
“The elevator is here.”
Faster than Tang Xing turned his head, You Chenxing said these words.
Following a step to the side, he completely blocked Yun Wan’s vision behind him with his body, clasped the person’s shoulders, and pushed the person into the elevator.
As soon as he entered, he did not give Yun Wan any time to react. He said almost imperatively, “Press the third floor.”
A set of movements was smooth, and Shen Li reacted and quickly followed.
Yun Wan felt something was wrong after pressing the floor, stared at the button and tilted her head, and the elevator door slowly closed.
“No, the French restaurant is not on the third floor, or what are you going to do on the third floor?”
When Yun Wan finally figured it out, while looking at You Chenxing, the back figure outside turned around completely, and before the elevator door was completely closed, he met You Chenxing’s eyes.
You Chenxing didn’t avoid looking back.
click.
The elevator door finally cut off everything outside the door.
Under Yun Wan’s gaze, You Chenxing unhurriedly pressed the fifth floor again, “I remember wrong.”
Yun Wan: “…”
Yun Wan: “The restaurant is on the top floor, and the top floor is the seventh floor, sister!”
Thinking that You Chenxing hadn’t listened to what he said at all, Yun Wan corrected her eyes while pressing the correct floor.
You Chenxing calmly glanced at Shen Li beside him, and nodded, “En.”
This attitude… There are so many words, Yun Wan simply shut up.
You Chenxing didn’t explain, but Shen Li quickly understood what she was doing.
There are only the three of them in the elevator. If you want to know where they are going, Tang Xing can just look at which floor the elevator stops at… You Chenxing pressed a few more keys, which was interfering with Tang Xing’s judgment and did not want the other party to know about them. destination.
But……
Shen Li hesitated for a moment, she was not sure if Tang Xing really saw them.
It felt like that gaze fell on her, and it seemed like she didn’t, maybe… Tang Xing didn’t see them?
Shen Li wasn’t sure, but Yun Wan was there and met Tang Xing at the same mall…
No matter what, she was always flustered.
Go to the top floor and make an appointment at the door of the French restaurant.
After entering the box, while Yun Wan went to the front desk to check the dishes, You Chenxing said to Shen Li, “Call Tang Xing.”
Shen Li was stunned, “Huh?”
“Ah what, I asked you to call her!”
Shen Li took out the phone under You Chenxing’s gesture, and said anxiously, “Then…what are you talking about?”
You Chenxing was speechless for a moment, hating iron for not being steel, “Have you contacted Tang Xing since the last time?”
Shen Li’s eyes were erratic, and he said, “You didn’t tell me, if it’s not serious, usually don’t…”
You Chenxing: “That means there is no contact!”
Shen Li didn’t speak, he acquiesced.
“Then you call her now, without being polite, just say Yun Wan is also in this mall and let her go.”
Shen Li hesitated.
You Chenxing suddenly looked like a knife, “What’s wrong?”
“What if, I just said what if she didn’t see us?”
You Chenxing: “…”
You Chenxing laughed, “Then what?”
Without waiting for Shen Li to speak again, You Chenxing said sharply: “Take a clearer mind, if you see we have to let her go, if you don’t see it, let her go, otherwise if we meet face-to-face later, how would you introduce it? Friend? Are you too young?”
“Oh, she’s still pregnant, you don’t want Yun Wan to have a few words with her, right?!”
Thinking of the scene You Chenxing described, Shen Li’s expression turned bad.
“Don’t force it, people will be back in a while! I’ll go to the door to guard, you can call now, don’t go around the corner, just say it directly, say your partner is also there, let her go! Tang Xing didn’t say all of them. Accidental, as long as you have children, don’t you want to destroy your family? Just say that, don’t think about her!”
Shen Li understood the deep meaning in You Chenxing’s words.
If Tang Xing really thinks so, then he will naturally leave after listening to this rhetoric.
If you don’t think so, in order to be the same in front of her, you will choose to leave after hearing it…
Shen Li nodded in the end.
You Chenxing went to stand outside the door.
But soon, Shen Li also came out.
You Chenxing was surprised, “It’s over?”
Shen Li shook his head and said in a low voice, “I didn’t get through, she didn’t answer.”
You Chenxing was silent for a moment, then dialed Tang Xing’s number with his mobile phone.
beep-
After a few beeps, he hung up naturally, but Tang Xing didn’t answer.
Shen Li whispered, “Could it be that you didn’t see us at all, are you shopping at the mall now?”
You Chenxing’s amber eyes glanced at Shen Li, but she didn’t speak, but the cold contempt in those eyes, obviously, she didn’t think so.
But without waiting for Shen Li to ask again, You Chenxing caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and was the first to say, “Have you ordered all the dishes?”
“Okay, why are you all outside?”
Shen Li turned back after realizing it—Yun Wan was back.
Pushing Shen Li with a strange look into the box, You Chenxing replied with ease: “I just made a phone call in the corridor, about work…”
Going back to the box and sitting down, You Chenxing seemingly inadvertently asked for a gift.
Yun Wan was also nervous when she wanted to see the prosecutor, and when You Chenxing mentioned it, she immediately checked it again.
After going back and forth like this, when Shen Li adjusted his mentality, You Chenxing stopped talking.
Not to worry, You Chenxing went out and called Tang Xing after a while, but as usual, no one answered.
You Chenxing’s heart sank straight down.
But thinking that this restaurant only has reservations for guests, in any case, before parting with the prosecutor, you will not be able to meet Tang Xing, and You Chenxing calmed down again.
It’s a pity that the day didn’t go according to people’s wishes. As soon as he returned to the box, Yun Wan said that he wanted to go out.
“Xia Xia said that Mrs. Lin had asked someone to buy a limited-edition set before, but she didn’t get it. I bought this brand. I’m a senior VIP in their family. Just now, the cabinet sister said that they have a set here. Ask me if I want it, na , there are 20 minutes left, I’ll go down and come back in time.”
Shen Li: “.”
You Chenxing: “.”
Shen Li: “Prosecutor Lin will be here soon, you…”
Yun Wan stood up and moved quickly, “No, people from the procuratorate generally like to be late, it’s good to be there on time, and you are here…”
You Chenxing pinched her brows, she still knew Yun Wan’s temper.
The eldest lady made up her mind and said nothing.
Shen Li wanted to persuade again, but You Chenxing reached out and opened the door, calmly said, “I’ll accompany you.”
Shen Li suffocated.
Yun Wan went out in a hurry, “As you do.”
Yun Wan thought about the suit and walked quickly, You Chenxing didn’t speak, and she didn’t notice the difference.
Going down to the skin care product area on the first floor, Yun Wan found the lady at the counter who served her before.
You Chenxing was standing not far from her, observing the surroundings.
The shopping mall on Saturday was already lively, and You Chenxing couldn’t guarantee 100% that he could see Tang Xing in the crowd.
However, before Tang Xing got close, he noticed it, and there was no problem.
You Chenxing has no other thoughts now, he just hopes that Tang Xing can be a little self-aware, even if he sees them, don’t rush up to say hello, that’s all.
However, based on her understanding of Tang Xing, I am afraid that the other party does not have this idea…
And her intuition is often accurate.
Buy things quickly, and Yun Wan got the suit in a while.
You Chenxing followed behind Yun Wan and entered the elevator without any risk.
“In time, when we should go back, people just came.”
In the elevator, Yun Wan looked at her watch and said.
And what she expected was not bad. When the two got out of the elevator, they saw Lin Yan reporting his name at the door and was led in by the waiter.
Yun Wan immediately quickened his pace, and You Chenxing followed closely behind.
Approaching the restaurant, You Chenxing froze when he felt something.
Yun Wan reported the appointment number, and turned around to find that You Chenxing didn’t follow, strangely, “Let’s go, why are you standing there?”
You Chenxing lowered his eyelashes, walked in front of Yun Wan in a hurry, thought for a while and said, “Go ahead, my colleague just sent me a message saying that there is something urgent…”
After a pause, You Chenxing said, “I’ll call him back outside.”
Yun Wan was stunned for a moment, looked back at the restaurant, and said nervously, “But others have…”
“It’s okay, Shen Li is still inside.”
“But……”
“Don’t worry, her relationship has always been good and people like it…” You Chenxing smiled and joked, “Didn’t you like her at the beginning?… Don’t be nervous, go in.”
You Chenxing’s words finally appeased Yun Wan.
Yun Wan turned her head three times in one step, and she didn’t know why, so she looked at You Chenxing several times before entering the door.
“Then hurry up!” Yun Wan ordered again before leaving.
“good.”
After Yun Wan entered, You Chenxing stood outside for a while, but didn’t wait for anything.
Realizing something, You Chenxing did not step into the restaurant, but chose another direction to leave.
In another five or six minutes, a female beta appeared on the diagonal of the restaurant, watching the restaurant from a distance.
Just when she decided to go up and down, before taking three steps, a voice stopped her.
“Tang Xing, is it fun to hide and seek?”
Tang Xing was stunned and looked sideways.
At some point, You Chenxing, who was standing in her blind spot, came out and looked at her.
With long chestnut hair and amber eyes, the beauty looks as cold as frost, and looks like a thousand miles away.
The woman is still the same, and the years seem to have left no marks on her body.
Tang Xing smiled, but the answer was choking, “Are you finally willing to see me?”
“The first time I came back, I just wanted to see you, if not…”
With that said, You Chenxing’s gaze fell on Tang Xing’s lower abdomen.
Nearly five months pregnant and already showing her pregnancy.
Suddenly, the conversation changed, and You Chenxing returned to the purpose of this trip: “That restaurant only serves people who make reservations, you can’t enter.”
“Really?” Tang Xing’s voice was very soft, but he didn’t flinch at all. Instead, he said, “Is it okay to report the name of the person who made the reservation? Whoever ordered the meal, you, Shen Li, or Yun Wan?”
You Chenxing pursed her lips.
She knew that Tang Xing didn’t answer the phone and was waiting here.
If you don’t answer the phone, you really bump into them face to face. You can also pretend to be stupid and say that you didn’t see them, and bumping into them is an unconscious behavior.
Tang Xing: “As an old friend, can’t you go in and say hello when you see me?”
Saying that, he wants to move forward.
Before she stepped up, You Chenxing made a sound, this time in a very cold voice, “If it weren’t for Shen Li, maybe you would have been beaten to death by your ex-husband. Is this how you repay her now?”
“You clearly know that she only likes Yun Wan.”
Tang Xing’s footsteps were stagnant.
After a long while, he didn’t take another step, but turned to face You Chenxing.
During the process, a gust of air from the air conditioner blew through, pulling up the short hair on the right side of her face, revealing a hideous scar down from the temporal bone.
You Chenxing suddenly couldn’t bear it, but she didn’t show any of this emotion on her face.
A slight smile appeared on Tang Xing’s lips, and he said sadly and sharply: “So, born in the quagmire, can’t I have a little extra hope for the person I like?”
“All the good things should be destined to belong to the eldest lady of an aristocratic family like Yun Wan and the others?”
