C2497 He Didn't Know It Was Her
Chu Xi nodded absent-mindedly and left with him.
In the car, Chu Feng saw that her expression was not good. She looked like she had something on her mind. He immediately asked, "Xi, what's wrong?"
"Nothing... Nothing." Chu Xi lowered her head and looked like she had done something wrong.
"Look up at me."
Chu Xi slowly raised her head to look into his eyes and the man asked again, "What exactly happened?"
Chu Xi pursed her lips and did not speak. She only spoke after a long while. "I... I cannot say. I promised Yan'er that I would not tell anyone."
She had promised Huo Yan that she would not tell anyone that she liked Jiang Ci, and neither could Chu Feng.
"Is it about Huo Yan?"
Chu Xi nodded.
Chu Feng did not say anything else. The two of them were very quiet along the way.
Chu Xi looked out the window and was very worried. She didn't know if what she did was right or wrong, nor did she know what kind of storm it would be tomorrow...
At the Huo family winery.
In a corner of the courtyard, a man was answering the phone.
"How is it? Did you succeed? Did Shi Qian and Jiang Ci get hit?" Huo Fanrou asked over the phone.
The man frowned and answered, "No, Jiang Ci got hit, but that woman left early. I can't continue with the plan."
"What!? Did she notice something?"
"I don't know."
" No matter what, you'd better hide first. "
"I know, I'll hang up first. I have to go."
"Wait, you said Jiang Ci got hit, then he..."
"I'm not sure. I'm worried about being discovered. I have already left banquet hall."
Huo Fanrou did not say anything else. The man hung up the phone and quickly disappeared into the night.
The next day, in the morning.
Jiang Ci suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the girl beside him. Her face darkened inch by inch.
The girl's back was facing him. Her messy hair covered her face. The thick curtains covered most of the light. He did not see the girl's face clearly.
After a moment of anger, he suddenly got up and left with a gloomy face.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Huo Yan finally slowly opened her eyes. The discomfort around her reminded her of what happened last night.
She... She and Jiang Ci...
She carefully turned around and found that there was no one around her.
Jiang Ci had left. He should be very angry. She might not see him again in the future.
Thinking of this, her nose ached, and her tears could not help but flow out.
The phone that fell to the ground rang again. She struggled to get up to pick up the phone, trying hard not to hear anything out of the ordinary in her voice. "Brother..."
"Where are you? I haven't seen you in the afternoon." Huo Fei asked.
"I... I drank too much last night. I've been sleeping in the lounge upstairs."
"From last night until now? How much did you drink?"
"I... can't remember."
"When you're awake, go eat. I have something to do."
"Where are you going?" Huo Yan asked nervously.
Was he going to find Jiang Ci? Was Jiang Ci going to tell him what happened last night? Would this affect their friendship?
"I'm going to the company. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. You can go."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yan lay back on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. For a moment, she was at a loss...
Could it be that she could never see Jiang Ci again?
However, at night, Huo Yan saw Jiang Ci at her house.
Looking at his extremely handsome face, Huo Yan was shy and at the same time surprised. She thought that Jiang Ci would never appear in her sight again.
She softly changed the sentence, "Ci."
Jiang Ci looked at her and said, En. It was no different from before.
Huo Yan was stunned and looked at him with confusion and doubt.
Jiang Ci noticed the girl's gaze and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Did he forget what happened last night?
Or did he not know it was her?
"No... nothing." Huo Yan softly said, "I'm going back to my room." After saying that, she turned around and left.
At this moment, Huo Fei walked over. "Mr. Ci, let's go."
"Okay." Jiang Ci did not think much about it and left with Huo Fei.
Just as they returned to the bedroom, Huo Yan received a call from Chu Xi. "Yan Er... I..."
"Xiao Xi, do you know what happened to Ci last night?"
"Sorry, Yan Er." Chu Xi said apologetically, "At that time... I thought you could be with the person you like, I... Second Young Master Jiang, he... What did he say? Will he be responsible for you?"
"He doesn't know it was me last night. Xiao Xi, don't tell anyone about this."
"But you guys have already..."
"Xiao Xi, I beg you, don't tell anyone, please."
After a long silence, Chu Xi softly said, "Okay, I promise you."
Chu Xi laid on the bed, tossing and turning but could not fall asleep. As long as she closed her eyes, Huo Yan would look sad.
"Xi." Chu Feng's voice suddenly sounded.
Chu Xi looked at him apologetically. "Did I disturb you?"
"What happened to you?" Chu Feng asked gently.
"I... I might have done something wrong."
