0105 Provocation
"The number you dialed is not being answered. Please try again later..."
Jiang Jifan had a social engagement tonight, and Tantai Qing had promised to pick her up on his way home, but he couldn't get through to her on the phone.
Thinking about how she came home drunk last time, he became even more worried.
"beep……"
After a long while, the call finally went through.
Without hesitation, Tantai Qing immediately asked, "Jifan, where are you?"
"She's sleeping."
Upon hearing the unfamiliar male voice coming from the phone, his expression suddenly turned cold.
"I'm her boyfriend, let her answer the phone."
Seeing that the other person remained silent, he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you're that little girl surnamed Xu, right? Give me your address, I'm going to pick her up and take her home."
There was silence on the phone. Tantai Qing chuckled, making no attempt to hide her contempt: "You think I won't know just because you don't tell me?"
The other party remained silent, so he simply stopped asking and hung up.
"Li Yan, investigate for me." He tossed his phone down, his voice cold and hard.
Li Yan glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the usually gentle face was now as cold as ice, as if it was brewing up a huge rage. His brow twitched and he quickly nodded in agreement.
Xu Zhengyan put Jiang Jifan's phone back in its place and stared at her sleeping face for a long time until there was a knock on the door.
So fast...
He initially tried to pretend he didn't hear it, but the increasingly frequent knocking made it impossible for him to ignore.
He gritted his teeth and stood up as if making a firm decision.
Just as Tantai Qing was about to pick up her phone to notify Li Yan to call the police, the door suddenly opened.
This was the first time Xu Zhengyan had met the boyfriend she had mentioned. The man in front of her was wearing an expensive custom-made suit, exuding an elegant and extraordinary air of nobility. Although he seemed a bit downcast due to his anxiety and irritability, he still couldn't hide his innate demeanor.
In that instant, Xu Zheng suddenly understood why Jiang Jifan had chosen him. Only someone like him was worthy of her, and only someone like him could make him feel ashamed of himself...
Tantai Qing put away her phone, staring at him coldly with an expressionless face. "Where's Ji Fan?"
Ji Fan...
Only he could call her name so intimately and openly, while he could only hide in the shadows, secretly gazing up at her and yearning for her.
Xu Zhengyan became increasingly unwilling to accept it, and looked up directly to meet his gaze, pursing his lips and remaining silent, his face stubborn.
The resentment and possessiveness in his eyes were impossible to ignore. As if he had seen something ridiculous, Tantai Qing frowned heavily, sneered, and then brushed past him, heading straight inside.
Fortunately, the house wasn't very big, and Tantai Qing soon saw the person she had been longing for on the sofa.
Jiang Jifan, whom they were talking about, was now sound asleep on someone else's sofa, completely unsuspecting, his cheeks flushed and reeking of alcohol, looking as if he were drunk.
She appears completely unthreatening, but rather possesses a unique charm that easily arouses unwanted impulses in men.
How could a young man just entering society resist a mature woman as charming and alluring as her? He didn't even want to think about what might have happened if he had arrived any later.
Tantai Qing stepped forward, threw away the blanket covering her, bent down and picked her up. When he turned around and saw the high heels neatly placed on the ground, he didn't think twice and simply bent down and picked them up while still holding the person in his arms.
None of her belongings can be left in another man's house.
As she passed by him, Tantai Qing glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, her gaze laced with intimidation, and warned him coldly, "Don't go near her again. I hope this is the first and the last time."
After saying that, he walked away.
"Bang!"
The door closed, and Xu Zhengyan, standing in the entryway, suddenly stumbled back a few steps as if all his strength had been drained, bumping into the shoe rack.
His face was pale, he seemed lost in thought, and his back was already soaked with sweat.
Indeed, only men can see what other men are thinking.
That's right, Xu Zhengyan was deliberately provoking him, and even intentionally blurring the relationship between him and Jiang Jifan.
He knew what he was doing was shameful, but he couldn't care less. The jealousy and resentment of witnessing her with another man was about to consume him.
He seemed to need to do something to dispel some of the anxiety and madness in his heart!
He lowered his head dejectedly, letting his body slowly slide down to sit on the floor.
"Xu Zhengyan, you shameless..." He held his head in remorse, huddled in a corner, crying and laughing like a madman.
