Chapter 73 Sudden Straight Ball
"Deputy President Si has a good alcohol tolerance!"
“This time, it was only possible thanks to our vice president’s personal involvement in the design that it was completed so perfectly.”
"No, it's all thanks to He's cooperation and guidance."
Si Tang smiled and listened to everyone's laughter and conversation. Unconsciously, three rounds of drinks had passed, and Si Tang's phone kept vibrating.
She lowered her head to glance at the screen and was stunned.
There were three or four missed calls from Fan Yi.
She frowned slightly, thinking that something urgent had happened. She politely stood up, said excuse me to everyone, and walked aside to make a phone call.
The person on the other end could answer immediately, "Hello? Tangtang, where are you?"
The voice over there was calm as usual.
"I'm attending the celebration banquet hosted by the He family and will be back soon."
Si Tang answered, inexplicably feeling like a wife being blamed for coming home late.
The tone on the other end was still gentle, and he asked with concern, "Do you need me to pick you up?"
"Don't bother, I haven't drunk any alcohol, I can drive myself back."
There was silence for a while before he spoke calmly, "Well, that's good."
After hanging up the phone, Si Tang suddenly remembered that... it wasn't anything urgent. Why did he always feel a chill down his spine after answering the phone?
On the other side, in Haiyuan, Fan Yi stared at Si Tang on the screen, his expression not looking very good.
She was happy tonight, as could be seen from her laughter and conversation with others.
After Si Tang hung up the phone, she realized it was getting late and suggested leaving. Ever since Fan Yi's call, she had been feeling uneasy and anxious.
"My husband is still waiting for me to come home." Si Tang apologized using this excuse.
Everyone joked, "Being married is really different. Okay, it seems like my husband just checked on me."
Checking in?
Si Tang paused for a moment, and inexplicably thought of the phone call just now... He really felt something?
"I'm leaving too, let's go downstairs together." At this time, He Chenzhou suddenly stood up.
Si Tang was stunned for a moment, nodded, and walked out with He Chenzhou.
Behind him, an employee of the He Group asked suspiciously to someone nearby, "Do you think Mr. He is acting strangely tonight?"
"How could that be? Isn't he like this every day? Cold and serious."
"That's not what I'm talking about. Have you ever seen him treat any female partner this close to you?" Not only that, she noticed that Mr. He's gaze was always vaguely on Si Tang.
"You think too much, these two people already have significant others."
"I hope I'm overthinking..."
Si Tang and He Chenzhou got off the elevator and came to the lobby. A little girl with a flower basket ran over, took out a red rose, and said sweetly to He Chenzhou.
"Sir, please buy your wife some flowers."
Si Tang, who was standing by, was stunned and said to the little girl, "I'm not his wife."
After saying that, without waiting for He Chenzhou and the little girl to move, Si Tang bent down slightly, took the flower himself, and handed over a banknote.
"I bought this bouquet of flowers." She touched the little girl's head.
"Thank you, sister!" The little girl smiled happily, quickly gave money to Si Tang, and ran away.
Si Tang laughed at the little girl's back, and heard He Chenzhou's slightly apologetic low voice beside him.
"I'm sorry for causing you to be misunderstood."
Si Tang was slightly stunned, then his smile deepened.
"What's there to apologize for?"
He Chenzhou lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the woman's beautiful, cunning smile, which inexplicably resembled the girl in his dream. His heart trembled, and he looked away.
The two of them left the club. Outside, a sharp wind swept in, and a sudden downpour began. The white raindrops fell to the ground like beads, and also fell into the man's heart.
"It's raining so heavily." Si Tang frowned slightly.
As soon as the driver and bodyguards saw He Chenzhou appear, they all came over with umbrellas. He Chenzhou took the umbrella handle from a bodyguard and tilted it towards Si Tang.
"I know you drove here alone today. Come on, I'll take you to the car."
The man is dignified and calm, and behaves like a gentleman.
Si Tang nodded without thinking, "Thank you for the trouble."
Sharing an umbrella, his distance was measured, and Si Tang felt at ease. She didn't know why, but He Chenzhou occasionally made her feel at ease, like a brother.
After He Chenzhou sent the person to the car and Si Tang unlocked the door, He Chenzhou opened the door for her.
Si Tang got in the car. Through the rain-soaked window, she saw the man's wet shoulders, and her eyes moved slightly. When she looked again, He Chenzhou had already turned and left.
Si Tang came back to his senses and looked forward. For some reason, the more he got along with He Chenzhou, the more he felt that he had a very familiar and reassuring aura.
After collecting his thoughts, Si Tang started the engine and left. The Cayenne shot into the rain like an arrow.
He Chenzhou paused and turned back, staring in that direction for a long time.
-
When Si Tang returned to Haiyuan, he was covered in dampness.
The lights in the living room were off, and it felt strangely cold.
Si Tang turned on the light and hung his bag beside the entrance with a tired look.
She saw Fan Yi sitting on the sofa with his back to her.
She didn't know why, but she actually felt... a little guilty.
"Are you back?" His voice floated by like smoke, and Si Tang couldn't hear his emotion for a moment.
While she was momentarily dazed, she saw Fan Yi stand up from the sofa and walk towards her.
The dim light was like a pitch-black sickle. He was very tall, and the shadow made his aura look terrifying. There were lightning and thunder outside the window, and the scene looked like a vampire taking lives in a gloomy castle in the European century.
This association made Si Tang shudder slightly, but when he looked again, it was clearly that familiar gentle and handsome face, absolutely beautiful, with eyes that were moist and gentle, harmless.
"Have you eaten?" he asked again, knowing the answer.
"I ate...." Si Tang didn't know why, but he always felt that Fan Yi was very strange at this moment.
Her defensiveness and vigilance suddenly surged, and she didn't even dare to take another step forward.
Fan Yi did not stop approaching her, but spoke softly with his lips curved.
"You look pale, Tangtang. Are you afraid of the thunder outside the window?"
As he got closer, Si Tang didn't know why the hairs on his body seemed to have their own consciousness and stood up as if in response to stress.
She couldn't help but take two steps back.
Fan Yi's footsteps suddenly stopped.
He slowly lowered his eyes and stared at the steps Si Tang had just taken.
He endured, restrained, disguised, concealed, and tried his best to appear calm and gentle.
"I was just worried about you for not coming home so late."
"I know......"
"Sorry, Tangtang, I'm just too nervous." Seeing the suspicion and wariness in her eyes fade away, he stepped closer again, letting Sitang see the sincerity in his eyes. "You know how I feel about you. I just don't want you to get too close to He Chenzhou."
Si Tang was completely stunned.
She raised her head, and at that moment there was lightning and thunder, and she saw the look in Fan Yi's eyes clearly.
Love, prayer, innocence, grievance.
Faced with his sudden bluntness tonight, Si Tang didn't know how to respond to him for a moment.
