Chapter 2113 Caught in the act

Ah Ying blushed, looked away, lowered her head and said "hmm".

"So I ordered it for you." Chu Lingfeng said with a smile.

She blinked rapidly, "Oh..."

After a while, the food came up and the two talked about their plans for the day while eating.

Chu Lingfeng came to North City to attend a summit. He had already prepared the content of the meeting, so Ah Ying didn't need to do anything. It was okay for her not to go. He said to her, "The afternoon meeting should be boring. It will probably take two or three hours. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go..."

He stopped talking halfway because Aying was not listening attentively. Instead, she frowned slightly and stared at the table on their left, which was diagonally behind him.

Chu Lingfeng also turned his head to look over and saw a familiar figure, feeling unhappy.

It’s this kid again!

However, they stayed in the same hotel as Ah Fei, so it was not surprising that they met here.

But when Aying looked at the boy, her eyes seemed to hide a lot of things, which made Chu Lingfeng a little annoyed.

He averted his gaze and continued, "Are you going?"

"Where are you going?" Aying looked at him in surprise.

"Meeting." Chu Lingfeng slowly cut the steak on the plate.

"Can I not go?"

Chu Lingfeng glanced at her, and it seemed that she didn't hear a word he said just now.

Ah Ying said hurriedly, "Master, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."

"It's okay, you don't have to go."

Ah Ying nodded: "Then I won't go. I want to walk around here."

Chu Lingfeng placed the cut steak next to her and smiled at her: "It's all fine, whatever you want."

After lunch, Chu Lingfeng prepared to leave for the meeting place.

Before getting in the car, he stood in the hotel lobby and asked Aying if he wanted to take her somewhere, as there was no large shopping mall nearby.

Aying loves buying clothes and just now said she wanted to go out for a walk. Chu Lingfeng thought she wanted to go shopping.

But Aying said not to worry about her. The street outside the hotel was quite quiet. She had just finished lunch and it was a good time for her to take a walk and then walk to a nearby bookstore to sit down.

"Why do you want to buy a book?" Chu Lingfeng helped her straighten the collar of her coat.

Ah Ying smiled and said, "Yes, I haven't read for a long time. I need to recharge."

"Okay, then you can have fun by yourself. I won't bother with you anymore. I'll call you after the meeting."

"Okay, go ahead." Aying saw him out the door and watched him get into the car.

The car drove away from the hotel. Chu Lingfeng looked back and saw that Aying was already walking in the opposite direction along the street.

Half an hour later, Chu Lingfeng arrived at the summit and delivered a speech.

According to the plan, he would wait until the meeting was over before leaving because he could make some connections at the same time.

But when he thought that Aying was alone, he wanted to come and accompany her earlier, so he left the venue early and asked the driver to take him directly to the door of the bookstore.

Ah Ying didn't like staying in the hotel room, but she had overdrawn her energy last night and probably wouldn't wander around, so Chu Lingfeng could guess without asking that she should still be in the bookstore.

There were not many customers in the bookstore and it was very quiet.

As soon as Chu Lingfeng walked in, he felt much more relaxed and his pace slowed down, thinking that Aying would find a place to relax.

He walked through rows of tall bookshelves and passed several long tables where guests read, searching for Aying.

But I was almost done shopping in the bookstore and hadn't seen Aying. I was about to call her to ask where she was when I turned around inadvertently and saw Aying through the gap in the bookcase.

Aying was standing in front of the bookshelf of foreign literature, two rows away from him.

But she was not reading, but talking quietly to someone.

It was a man, and because he was tall, the bookcase on the upper level just covered his face.

But Chu Lingfeng recognized the man's clothes.

It’s Ah Fei.

He had seen this guy in the restaurant at lunch, wearing the same outfit.

Chu Lingfeng looked at Aying again. Her expression looked very serious and a little worried, and he didn't know what she was talking about Afei.

Chu Lingfeng walked over to a position separated from them by a row of bookshelves, turned his back, pretended to be a customer reading a book, and observed the situation over there with his peripheral vision.

The voices of Aying and Afei also entered his ears.

"...Okay, I understand." Aying said.

"Then I'll go back first." Ah Fei turned and was about to leave.

"Wait."

"Anything else?" Ah Fei turned around.

"When I saw you at noon, I wanted to say it..." Aying took a step forward and lowered her voice.

Chu Lingfeng also walked a little closer. He heard Ah Ying say, "Why did you say in the car last night that my informant was your friend?"

“Because it’s true.”

"Do you have to tell the truth? Can't you just not say it, or tell a lie?"

Chu Lingfeng looked over with a cold face.

Ah Fei was silent for two seconds and said, "He misunderstood us and is angry?"

"I feel like..."

"And then he got angry at you?"

"It's not that fierce... Anyway, I don't want to make the young master worry..."

Ah Fei said, "But don't you think that the more deliberately someone conceals something, the more abnormal it is? If there's nothing to hide, then there's nothing to be afraid of, right?"

Chu Lingfeng looked at Ah Ying, only to see her pursed her lips. "That's what I said, but..."

"But what?" asked Ah Fei.

Chu Lingfeng also wanted to ask, but what? Could it be that Ah Ying really had something up her sleeve?

Ah Fei was obviously also trying to find the answer.

“But he’s sometimes quite petty…”

Chu Lingfeng: “…”

Ah Ying added, "So he really cares. Otherwise, why would the young master follow us every time we meet for work?"

Ah Fei nodded and said, "I understand. I won't say any more words from now on."

"Thank you. Okay, I'm fine now. You can go back."

The conversation between the two ended here. Ah Fei turned and left, while Ah Ying leaned against the bookshelf, opened the book in her hand and continued reading.

Chu Lingfeng also left this row of bookshelves and went to a bookshelf farther away to digest what he had just heard.

Even though he saw the two of them talking behind the bookshelf, Chu Lingfeng almost couldn't help but want to walk over and take Aying away.

But after calming down, he restrained himself.

Ah Ying doesn't have that kind of intention towards Ah Fei, at least not yet.

They probably just had a work-related relationship, and Aying knew that he minded Afei and was afraid that he would be jealous, so she didn't dare to get too close to Afei, even if it was just business.

If Chu Lingfeng rushed over now, Aying would only continue to hide more things from him.

As the secrets between her and Ah Fei grow more and more, can they still maintain a simple working relationship?

Chu Lingfeng didn't want her to treat Ah Fei so specially.

What if the special relationship really develops into an unusual one?

So no matter how angry or aggrieved you are, you can't act too hastily, or be blindly jealous, or even get angry at Aying, as that will only push her further away.

He had to transfer the work that Aying needed to coordinate with Afei first.

As for Ah Fei, although that boy did not do anything inappropriate, he was interested in Ah Ying after all and was a potential threat.

So we have to think of a way to solve the problem once and for all and make him completely give up on Aying.

Thinking of this, Chu Lingfeng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that wanted to execute the girl on the spot.

He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Aying.
