Chapter 171 Find Me Soon
"How can you be sure there won't be a next one?" Xu Zhengnan asked.
I turned my head and looked at him, and when our eyes met, I felt guilty.
There was displeasure in his eyes and eyebrows, and the faint mole on the bridge of his nose became more conspicuous every time he had a cold face. Maybe I wanted to divert attention because I felt guilty, so I always stared at the mole.
If I hadn't slept with him, I can really say with confidence that there would not be another one.
I have slept with him, and I am so sure about this, it seems like I am bragging.
Xia Yu came to my rescue, "Actually, I can understand you. You've been deeply hurt by Shen Yixiao and you don't dare to trust anyone else. It's okay. Live your life well first and wait until your heart is healed."
I smiled embarrassedly and thanked Xia Yu ten thousand times in my heart.
After breakfast, Xu Zhengnan prepared to go out, and he also called Xia Yu to go with him.
I don't know what they are doing and I'm not qualified to ask so many questions.

In the evening, Xu Zhengnan came back.
I was making dinner and when I saw him come back, I prepared an extra set of bowls and chopsticks. When he saw the two bowls on the table, the expression on his face relaxed a lot, and the coldness he had when he came in just now dissipated a lot.
"Let's eat." I didn't ask him what he did today, I just invited him to eat.
Once he has dealt with the problem with that woman, he will probably leave. Then it will be fine for me to live here alone.
Xu Zhengnan didn't have a good appetite, so after eating a few bites of food, he went upstairs to rest.
When I went upstairs, I found the light in the study was on and the door was not closed. I could see him sitting at the desk, seemingly pondering something and looking a little worried.
After a moment's hesitation, I knocked on the doorframe.
Xu Zhengnan turned his gaze to look at me. His dark eyes were full of depth. I couldn't quite figure out his emotions at the moment. "What's wrong?"
"You came here to deal with that woman, right?" I walked in, took out my phone, found the photo I took, and showed him the woman's appearance. "Is it her?"
After seeing the photo, Xu Zhengnan's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became much colder. "Well, you don't have to worry about this matter."
I can't do anything about it, but I see that he seems very annoyed. If he can't solve this problem, it means that the woman will probably come hanging around the house again, and I won't feel safe living there. I hope he can solve it, which will be good for me too.
"Who is she? Can you tell me? Maybe I can give you some advice." I replied.
Xu Zhengnan seemed to dislike me mentioning her, and said in a cold voice, "I told you, this matter is none of your business. It doesn't matter who she is, it has nothing to do with you."
Why does this sound so unpleasant? I was a little unhappy. "Of course I know it has nothing to do with me. I just saw that you seemed to be very upset about this matter, so I wanted to help you with some ideas. Otherwise, I would not feel at ease living here."
After Xu Zhengnan noticed my displeasure, his tone softened. He pinched his brows and replied with a slightly tired tone, "Thank you for your kindness, but you can't help me."
Since he said so, there was no point in asking more questions, so I just said "um" and went to my room to rest.
I slept in the master bedroom and didn't know which room Xu Zhengnan slept in. I originally wanted to ask, but when I thought about his attitude towards me just now, I gave up the idea. It would be fine as long as he didn't sleep in the master bedroom. Now that I rented this house, of course I have the final say.
Just when I was hypnotizing myself and about to fall asleep, my cell phone rang.
It was a message from Liang Feng: Have your parents moved again?
When I saw this message, I felt strange. Why did he suddenly ask this?
Me: I don’t know, why do you suddenly ask this question?
Liang Feng: Shen Yixiao was looking for them. He just found the address and heard from others that they moved again. I thought you knew about their move.
Me: I don’t know. I cut off contact with everyone after I went abroad. I don’t know what’s going on in my family.
Liang Feng: Oh, I see. You haven’t contacted that Xu Zhengnan yet?
When I saw him mention Xu Zhengnan, alarm bells started ringing in my heart. Is he really Liang Feng?
If it was Liang Feng, he wouldn't care at all whether I had contact with Xu Zhengnan, or whether my parents moved. Only Shen Yixiao would care about these issues.
I didn’t reply again, as if I had already seen Shen Yixiao holding Liang Feng’s phone and setting a trap for me step by step.
These messages made me lose all my sleepiness. Could it be that Liang Feng was exposed so soon? Or was it that he hadn’t been exposed at all, and was deliberately acting to include me, and then told Shen Yixiao?
All kinds of speculations were entangled in my mind. I couldn't breathe, so I simply sat up and took a deep breath.
Before I could recover from my worry, I suddenly heard fierce knocking on the door downstairs. I was sleeping on the second floor, so I shouldn't be able to hear the knocking on the door on the first floor, unless it was very loud.
Then there was the sound of a woman crying, which was extremely creepy in this night.
I put on a coat and hurried out of the room, wanting to go downstairs to check what was going on. As soon as I reached the stairs, I ran into Xu Zhengnan. He hadn't rested yet. When he saw me running out, he stopped me and said, "You go and rest. She's here to see me."
she? Is it that woman again?
Before I could react, Xu Zhengnan had already gone downstairs. Looking at the lights on the first floor, I felt inexplicably depressed.
With Xu Zhengnan's departure, the downstairs became quiet. I returned to my bedroom to sleep, but my ears unconsciously pricked up, paying attention to any movement.
When I was tossing and turning in sleep, Liang Feng called me.
I rejected it directly.
Liang Feng: I didn’t ask those questions just now. Shen Yixiao took my phone. Be careful.
My heart was in my throat. It had only been such a short time and they had been discovered?
Shen Yixiao knew my account number, so he would most likely find a way to locate me. My scalp immediately went numb, and this place was not safe anymore.
Maybe I should leave here. If staying still doesn't work, I should just wander around and keep changing my location. One day, Shen Yixiao will be exhausted and lose the patience to keep looking for me.
While I was wondering what to do next, someone knocked on the door.
"Are you asleep?" Xu Zhengnan's voice came from outside.
"Not yet!" I responded quickly, then got up and opened the door.
The moment the door opened, I remembered that I was not dressed appropriately and quickly closed the door. Fortunately, Xu Zhengnan was a patient person and did not get angry because of my action. Instead, he waited patiently for me to open the door again.
"Do you want to move to another place?" Xu Zhengnan asked directly after opening the door again.
What he didn't know was that I had exactly that intention, because I felt that Shen Yixiao already knew where I lived.
