A saddened vice shrouded all around Han Yifeng . His expression seemed worn out and lonely as the sharp eyes he used to have were now dull and dark .
It was obvious that he was not doing well right now .
Xi Xiaye lost interest in continuing this conversation, so she turned around and left .
Han Yifeng raised his head and just looked at her retreating back . He wanted to catch up with her, but as he took his first step, he stopped .
What else could he say even if he went up to her?
He had nothing else left to say…
It was 5 p . m . when she left Yueying .
The sun was setting in the west and the orange light warmed the whole of City Z, giving everything a cozy vibe .
The breeze was not very strong, and it still felt a little warm walking under the sunset as Xi Xiaye walked slowly towards her car .
As she was about to get inside her car, a faint fragrance came near, and before she could react, a big bouquet of bright red roses appeared before her eyes .
She tensed up and quickly looked at who it was . Unexpectedly, Qi Lei's face was right before hers .
“This is for you . ” Qi Lei grinned . “This is the first time I'm giving a woman flowers . Xiaye, you'd accept it for my sake, won't you?”
Xi Xiaye glanced at him as she narrowed her eyes .
Back in the office just now, Qi Lei's reaction had been really odd . He was quiet most of the time but would voice out his agreement whenever she made any suggestions . His attitude made Xi Xiaye wary of him .
She put her briefcase into the car before turning around to face Qi Lei . “There must be something you want for you to do this, Vice President Qi . I feel that you're quite a dangerous person . ”
Qi Lei guffawed, his eyes smiling as he threw Xi Xiaye a meaningful glance . “Do I really look like a bad person? What if I say I've taken a liking to you for quite some time? Can you accept my flowers? Let's be friends . ”
“No . ”
“Ah, what a heartless woman! I tried so hard to support you in the meeting and even gave you my first time of flower gifting, but this is how you repay me?” Qi Lei smiled wryly .
Xi Xiaye squinted her eyes at him . As she was about to get inside her car, Qi Lei grabbed her wrist and tucked the bouquet of flowers in her arms . “No woman can ever reject anything that I give!”
“You…”
He was so forceful that Xi Xiaye stumbled into the driver's seat . Her face clouded over when she looked at the bouquet of flowers . Standing back up, she grabbed the bouquet and threw it back at the man outside . “Who do you think you are that I have to accept whatever you give? Don't you know that I only take roses made of gold?”
The bouquet of roses smacked Qi Lei directly .
Qi Lei took the flowers she tossed at him, not seeming to be angry . Instead, he looked at her in surprise . “So, you have the same hobby as me? I'm noticing more and more similarities between us…”
“Vice President Qi, I'm going to be straightforward with you . I don't care what happened between you and Mu Yuchen . I hope that you don't come near me again . Otherwise, don't blame me for what's going to happen to you . ” Xi Xiaye's face and voice turned cold . “Moreover, I have a family . I believe you're a cultured person . At least, you won't be giving other people trouble, will you?”
“I really don't like you . No matter which angle I look at you, you look just like a pervert!” Xi Xiaye enunciated the last few words angrily before sitting back into the car and starting it .
Qi Lei was not sore at all . He flung the bouquet of flowers away and just watched Xi Xiaye's car drive away as he folded his arms .
“Are you close to Xi Xiaye?” A voice came from behind him . Qi Lei turned around and noticed Han Yifeng standing behind him .
“What do you think?” Qi Lei laughed .
Han Yifeng had seen him throwing the bouquet of roses away . He gave it some thought before looking at Qi Lei . “Do you like her?”
“She's beautiful and pretty amazing, isn't she?” Qi Lei shrugged as he gave Han Yifeng a smiling glance . “My taste is different from yours . She suits me well . Can't I like her?”
“She's already married to Mu Yuchen!” Han Yifeng pointed out coldly with a frown .
“Mu Yuchen… One can still get divorced after marriage . I'm not like you . I'm a person who's brave enough to pursue true love . Moreover, the Xi family initially thought of making her marry me . In a way, Mu Yuchen's the one that snatched my woman away, so why can't I take her back!?” Qi Lei smirked before turning around and going toward his car .
Han Yifeng remained silent as his expression changed .
Qi Lei's words reminded him of what had happened at West Park the other day…
Outrageous!
Xi Xiaye was scowling as she drove along the highway .
Of course, she did not take what Qi Lei said seriously!
She suddenly felt like she was on the verge of a vortex, and would get sucked right in if she was not careful . At the same time, she was worried about Mu Yuchen . She wondered if he was aware of the odd things happening .
Should she tell him about her concerns?
After giving it some thought, she stopped her car on the side and took her phone out to swiftly dial a number .
The call was connected very quickly .
“Ms . Xiaye?” It was a very familiar voice .
“Mmm, it's me, Inspector Zhang . I have something to trouble you about… Can you meet me now?” Xi Xiaye asked .
“Right now?” Inspector Zhang responded .
Xi Xiaye nodded . “Yeah, right now . It's just past working hours . Let's meet at the Bamboo Teahouse . I'll wait for you there . ”
“Sure, I'll head over now,” Inspector Zhang answered quickly and then hung up .
Xi Xiaye turned around and headed towards the Bamboo Teahouse .
