Xu Yanfeng looked at the scenery outside the window and smiled without making any sound.
He turned around and took two steps, opened the drawer of the desk, took out a pack of cigarettes, shook out a cigarette and put it between his lips, picked up the lighter to light it, took a deep breath, and took the cigarette away with two fingers.
The depression in the chest dissipated into the air as the smoke was exhaled.
His intuition was correct. Since they met again, every time Xia Xi mentioned the child, her reaction was too strong, just like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with the hair on the back of its neck standing up and in a defensive state, afraid that he would spy on something.
Even though she pretended to be calm a few times, he saw through it.
"Have you found out who transferred the money to him?" Xu Yanfeng sat on the chair behind the desk, reached out his hand to the ashtray and knocked off the ashes.
Guan He was waiting for him to ask this question. How could he dare to call and report to his boss without investigating it thoroughly? "The person who transferred the money to Du Bingchen is Ling Xunzhang's subordinate, who usually runs errands for him."
Guan He didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to tamper with the paternity test done by Mr. Xu.
Secondly, Mr. Xu had been secretive enough in doing this. He hadn't let anyone know except his special assistant, yet he was still being targeted. He had to suspect that someone was following Mr. Xu 24 hours a day.
He didn't understand what the man's purpose was in doing this.
Xu Yanfeng put out his unfinished cigarette in the ashtray, his thin lips moving as he repeated the name: "Ling Xunzhang?"
Ling Xunzhang is Ling Yan's cousin. The brother and sister are the same age, with birthdays only a few months apart. They grew up together and have a good relationship. Ling Xunzhang almost always grants his sister's requests.
It's obvious that Ling Xunzhang would not be interested in his private affairs, and there is no reason for him to interfere. It goes without saying who did this.
Xu Yanfeng hung up the phone, flipped through the address book, found Ling Yan's number, and dialed it.
The phone rang for a few seconds before being connected. Before Xu Yanfeng could say anything, Ling Yan's voice, unable to conceal her joy, came over: "Afeng, why are you calling me now? What's going on?"
Xu Yanfeng toyed with a metal lighter in one hand, his face sullen, but his words betrayed no emotion at all. He said calmly, "Are you free tonight? Let's meet."
Even though his attitude was not warm, Ling Yan felt as if she had been hit by a huge surprise. She was so excited that she walked back and forth in the bedroom twice, and the heat on her face gradually rose.
This was the first time Xu Yanfeng took the initiative to invite her to dinner!
Ling Yan bit her lip, restraining her emotions and said reservedly, "Yes."
Xu Yanfeng said "hmm" and ended the call without saying anything extra.
At this moment, in the Ling family villa, Ling Yan tightly grasped her cell phone, two blushes appeared on her cheeks. She threw herself on the big bed, covered her face with her hands, and a low, joyful laugh escaped from between her fingers.
Is this the end of her suffering?
It must be that Xu Yanfeng found out that Xia Xi's twins were not his, and he had completely given up on her. His parents were urging him to get married, so he turned his attention to her.
Whatever the reason, he finally saw her presence, which was a good thing.
She didn't dare ask for too much. As long as she could be with him, she would be content.
No one can predict what will happen in the future, maybe he will really fall in love with her.
Ling Yan was imagining the sweet and beautiful future of herself and Xu Yanfeng in her mind, and her apple cheeks were sore from laughing. Until her cell phone rang, she was brought back to her senses. She groped on the bed sheet, grabbed the phone, sat up and took a look.
It was a message from her best friend, asking her to have dinner together in the evening.
Ling Yan grinned at the screen and typed a reply: "Sorry, Xu Yanfeng just made an appointment with me. You're late. Please come earlier next time."
Her bestie teased her: "Oh, oh, oh, you have a man and you forget your friends. How dare you say that?"
Ling Yan: "Sorry, I'll treat you later."
After sending the message, Ling Yan got up and went to the cloakroom to pick out some clothes. Yesterday, sales representatives from several luxury brands she liked came to her house to deliver new clothes. She held them in front of her one by one and tried them out in front of the full-length mirror.
The clothes that she thought looked good yesterday, she no longer liked them today. She felt that none of them were suitable to meet Xu Yanfeng.
Ling Yan took a lot of effort to put together an outfit. She wore a white satin off-shoulder top with a mini skirt in the same color. Her neck felt a little empty, so she found a long silver necklace, folded it into two circles and wore it. It was a combination of diamonds and pearls, and it was very eye-catching.
After her clothes were put together, she sat in front of the dressing table to put on makeup. Her hair was tied up, revealing her perfect shoulder and neck lines. Her makeup was mainly clear and natural, and her blush seemed to come through her skin.
After getting dressed, almost three hours had passed and Lingyan went downstairs with her bag.
In the living room, Ling's mother sat on the sofa flipping through a fashion magazine. She glanced up and was attracted by a bright figure. She raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Where are you going, dressed so beautifully?"
Ling Yan held her bag in front of her with both hands, lowered her head slightly, and looked a little shy: "A Feng asked me to have dinner with him tonight."
"Really?" Ling's mother's eyes lit up. She closed the magazine and put it aside, then stood up and walked over to her. "Your Aunt Zhong just called me to tell me that Xu Yanfeng came home for lunch at noon and was urged to get married by his two elders. You must seize the opportunity and ask him about his wishes during dinner. If you can settle it sooner, your father and I will feel at ease."
Ling Yan pouted: "It's not good for me to rush into it too much."
"It's a different era now. It's okay for a woman to take the initiative." Ling's mother held her hand. "If you're embarrassed to ask directly, try asking indirectly. In short, you need to find out Xu Yanfeng's attitude."
