Chapter 317 Aren’t you tired of pretending?
As soon as the call was connected, the other party answered it almost instantly. Chu Ci's voice came through the receiver, with obvious urgency:
"Yutong? Where are you? I called you more than ten times, but your phone was always turned off..."
"I'm in box 656, come over."
Tang Yutong interrupted him directly, her voice was terrifyingly calm.
"Why are you over there? Didn't I give you the address of Box 666? All my friends are here..."
“Beep—beep—beep—”
Before Chu Ci could finish his words, Tang Yutong hung up the phone decisively.
Chu Ci froze in place holding the phone, listening to the busy tone that suddenly stopped. He didn't react for a moment. She actually hung up on him?
He stared at the darkened screen and frowned, feeling a sudden inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
Everything had gone smoothly today, so what could possibly have upset her? Was she having trouble at work?
At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated and the screen lit up again:
【I'll give you five minutes. No more waiting.】
Just this short sentence made Chu Ci's heart tighten.
He quickly replied "I'll be there soon", turned around and greeted the people in the box, then hurriedly pushed the door open and walked straight towards box 656.
Three minutes later, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and Chu Ci's tall figure stood at the door.
Two buttons of his suit jacket were undone and his tie was a little loose, obviously he had been jogging all the way here.
When he saw Tang Yutong's appearance clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.
I saw Tang Yutong standing by the window, facing the light.
The eyes that used to be gentle were now cold as ice, and the carefully applied makeup could not hide the slightly reddened corners of the eyes.
The most glaring thing was that the silk scarf he had carefully selected this morning was missing, revealing the ambiguous traces he left on her neck last night.
"Are you crying?"
Chu Ci's voice became a little tense. He took two steps forward and reached out to touch her cheek.
Tang Yutong took a step back as if avoiding something dirty, and pursed her red lips:
"Don't touch me."
Chu Ci's hand froze in mid-air, his knuckles curling up unconsciously.
He noticed that she was wearing bright red lipstick today, a color she only wore when doing business, like a silent declaration of war.
"What happened to you? You were fine when I took you to work this morning. Is it because of work..."
Chu Ci softened his tone and tried to get closer to her.
Tang Yutong suddenly chuckled, and a sarcastic arc appeared on her red lips.
"Chu Ci, aren't you tired of pretending?"
Chu Ci froze in place upon hearing this. His pupils suddenly shrank, his Adam's apple unconsciously rolled up and down, his back instantly straightened, but he pretended to be calm as he looked at Tang Yutong and asked:
"What?"
Tang Yutong approached slowly, her high heels making a dull sound on the carpet.
She reached out and touched Chu Ci's tie - she had bought it for him when she went shopping at the mall last week.
"Is it interesting? Shouldn't you know what I'm saying better than me? Why pretend like you don't understand?"
Chu Ci had a vague guess in his mind, did Tang Yutong know?
But Chu Ci was not sure whether Tang Yutong really knew something or was deliberately trying to trick him, so he chose to remain silent and just looked at her quietly.
Tang Yutong saw that Chu Ci was silent and didn't know what he was thinking, so she could only continue to talk to herself:
"For your good brother, you really are willing to go through fire and water for him."
If Chu Ci didn't know what Tang Yutong was talking about at this moment, he would be a fool.
There was shock, surprise, and more of disbelief in his eyes when he looked at Tang Yutong.
She actually knew...
"Yutong, please listen to my explanation..."
"Explain what?"
She sneered and looked up at him:
"Explain how you carefully planned to approach me? Explain how you disguised yourself as a male model to sneak into my box? Or explain that you approached me to help Lu Yiran pursue Yanyan?"
Chu Ci's expression changed instantly.
His reaction gave her the answer.
Tang Yutong's heart completely turned cold, but her voice was unusually calm:
"Chu Ci, you know what? I just sat here and thought about everything. The more I thought about it, the more ridiculous I felt."
"I even wonder if you laugh at me in your heart every time you go out with me? Do you think it's worth it every time I foolishly think you love me?"
Chu Ci's breathing became heavy. He took a step forward and said in a low voice:
"It's not like that..."
"How is that?"
She suddenly raised her voice, her eyes reddened again.
"You dare to say that your approach to me has nothing to do with Lu Yiran? You dare to say that you have never used me?"
Chu Ci opened his mouth but couldn't refute immediately.
His silence was crueler than any answer.
Tang Yutong smiled, a smile that was both ironic and sad.
"very good."
She nodded, picked up her bag, and headed straight for the door.
Chu Ci grabbed her wrist, his voice filled with unprecedented panic:
"Yutong, listen to me, it was indeed because of Yiran that I..."
“That’s enough!”
She suddenly shook off his hand, her eyes sharp as a knife,
"Stop disgusting me with your lies."
She walked out of the box without looking back, her high heels stepping on the carpet without making any sound, just like her dead heart at the moment.
Chu Ci stood in place, his fingers slowly tightened, and finally he punched the wall.
