He held his breath and continued to listen. When he learned that Xia Zhichu had gone to Zhongcheng to inquire about his situation, he could no longer sit still. He picked up his suit jacket and left Dianfeng Group.
He drove very fast along the way, put his cell phone aside with the speaker on, and every word of Xia Zhichu's questioning of Lei Yanchao came clearly into his ears.
"Si Mochen isn't actually on a business trip. He's still in Jincheng, right?"
"Is Zhao Sichun coming to work at Summit Group because of Si Mochen's relationship?"
"Or to be more precise, he's not the real estate sales manager of Zhongcheng Group at all. He's the boss of Peak Group, and Zhao Sichun is his newly-married fiancée?"
The sharp questions one after another shocked Lei Yanchao speechless and made Si Mochen's face even uglier. The whole car seemed to be drifting.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I really can't say it."
Lei Yanchao's mouth was as tight as a clam. Everything that Si Mochen had tried so hard to hide had been exposed by Xia Zhichu. At this time, if Si Mochen had not come to deal with it personally, he would have been unable to hold back and would have to confess the truth.
At this point, he can only delay for now.
Seeing that he didn't dare to speak, Xia Zhichu smiled lightly, "I understand."
Lei Yanchao looked at her in confusion, "Not sister-in-law, what do you understand?"
Xia Zhichu said no more, but stood up and said to him, "I think I have the answer. Thank you, Mr. Lei. I won't disturb you from working. I will leave first."
Without giving Lei Yanchao a chance to persuade her to stay, Xia Zhichu grabbed her bag and left.
Lei Yanchao quickly said to the phone, "Master Si, I've done my best. You can take care of yourself."
Si Mochen had already arrived at the foot of the Zhongcheng Tower, one hand in his pocket and the other holding his phone. He said in a deep voice, "Leave the rest to me."
After saying that, he ended the call and quickened his pace towards the elevator.
Just at this moment, the elevator door opened, Xia Zhichu walked out, and faced Si Mochen head-on.
At that moment, all the doubts were answered.
Xia Zhichu just looked at Si Mochen with a smile, but she felt suffocated with sadness in her heart.
So he really wasn't on a business trip, he had been deceiving himself all along!
Seeing that she was forcing a smile, Si Mochen walked up to her without saying a word and pulled her into his arms.
Xia Zhichu did not struggle, and just let him hold her quietly. The familiar masculine scent that she had once been fascinated by was now invading her nostrils, making her nose feel even more sore.
"At this point, are you still planning to keep it a secret from me?" Her voice was a little choked, and even had a slight tremor. She should have been angry, but at this moment, she actually wanted to give him a chance to explain.
But she didn't expect Si Mochen to hold her tighter and tighter. Perhaps because he had rushed all the way here, his heart was beating very fast and even his voice was a little breathless.
"Give me a little more time and I'll confess everything to you, okay?"
The magnetic voice could not hide the pleading, this was Si Mochen showing weakness to her.
Xia Zhichu's heart was moved. She hid in his arms and sniffed, "How long will it take? One day, ten days, or a month?"
Her words were filled with emotion, and Si Mochen could hear it.
But he still promised her a return date, "In just ten days, I will be able to put all this behind me and come back to you, take you home to meet my family, and set a date for our wedding."
Si Mochen never makes promises easily, but facing Xia Zhichu's disappointed eyes, he said these words with great determination.
Xia Zhichu raised his head and looked deeply into the man's lonely eyes.
Whether a person is lying or serious, the heart can lie, but the eyes cannot.
Xia Zhichu met the man's sincere eyes and finally nodded, "Okay, ten days."
But if he breaks his promise, she will no longer be attached to this relationship, but will choose to leave and let everything go back to the starting point.
When Si Mochen saw that she agreed, he felt ecstatic. He knew that Xia Zhichu could understand her because she was different from other women.
"It's time for dinner, let's go eat."
Xia Zhichu nodded.
Si Mochen let her go, but instead held her hand tightly and walked towards the car with her.
Xia Zhichu just let him hold her hand, feeling the scorching heat in the man's palm. She tilted her head to look at his perfect, sculptured profile, her heart beating uncontrollably.
In the past, when they were close friends, she would not be shy no matter how they played around. But since this encounter and their flash marriage, Xia Zhichu felt that all her previous feelings had changed.
Now when she sees Si Mochen, not only does her face turn red and her heart beats fast, she even becomes abnormally infatuated with him.
What made her most unbearable was that every time she looked at it, her mind was filled with the erotic dreams she had those nights.
It is said that dreams are false and everything will be forgotten when you wake up.
But what exactly was this dream about? It was not only deeply engraved in her mind, but she would think of it anytime and anywhere.
The key point is that the scene is too eye-catching. Every scene can make her blood boil, and even make her feel like she is suffocating.
Xia Zhichu felt a little dry in the mouth and couldn't help pursing her lips. Realizing that if she continued to peek, something would definitely happen, she quickly looked away, but her cheeks were burning hot, and the evening breeze couldn't blow away the emotions in her heart.
Although Si Mochen didn't say anything, he knew that Xia Zhichu was spying on him. However, he didn't care and even enjoyed it a little. After all, it was a man's pride to be able to let the woman he liked look at him a few more times.
At this moment, he was grateful to Si Guangxu. Although he did not give him a happy childhood, he promised him a good appearance.
And it was this face that became the capital to conquer Xia Zhichu.
The two of them quickly arrived in front of the car. Si Mochen opened the passenger door for her very gentlemanly, but Xia Zhichu stood there in a daze for a long time.
Before she could ask, Si Mochen confessed truthfully, "This is my car, not a rental."
Xia Zhichu was silent for a long time, said "oh", then bent down and sat down.
Si Mochen closed the car door for her and then walked around to sit in the driver's seat.
Because he was too worried about Xia Zhichu's mood, he drove out directly in his own car. It was only when he arrived downstairs of Zhongcheng Group that he discovered the problem.
But at this moment, he had nothing to hide.
If I continue to deceive her, it will be unfair to her and may even push her further away.
"Zhichu, I..."
Si Mochen wanted to say something, but Xia Zhichu came closer and put her finger on his lips. "I'll wait for you for ten days as promised."
The woman's delicate skin brushed past his, with a faint scent of hand cream, and Si Mochen couldn't help but open his mouth and inadvertently held her finger in his mouth.
