Chapter 170

Xu Si was stunned for a while. He put down the paper in his hand and clasped his hands in front of him. “What is the relationship between you and Xi Ning?”

Without waiting for Jian Yue to reply, Xu Si said, “As far as I know, you just met him the day before he came to work at your shop.”

This was his speculation, Jian Yue did not refute it, but said, “I won’t bring Xi Ning back by force, I just want to see him in person.”

“Don’t you have Xi Ning’s phone number?” Xu Si said, “You are the one who wanted to meet him, why did you come to get my permission? Or perhaps, you have misunderstood something.”

There’s awkwardness shown on Jian Yue’s face, and he coughed slightly. “He didn’t reply to my text message, and his phone was turned off.”

Xu Si was right. At first he was really worried that Xu Si had taken control of Xi Ning, but now Xu Si looked more calm than he expected.

“Is that so,” Xu Si thought for a moment, and agreed to Jian Yue’s request, “I will take you back to meet him at night, but I still have one condition.”

Jian Yue straightened up his back. “What condition?”

“You can’t show up in front of Xi Ning.”

Jian Yue is like a piece of sticky candy that refuses to give up. His attention to Xi Ning makes Xu Si very concerned. After Xi Ning sees him, what if Xi Ning really wants to go back with him.

Xu Si would never allow this to happen.

He continued, “I know that you are worried that Xi Ning is not doing well living with me. When you see him secretly, you can just see his real condition. What do you think?”

Jian Yue still hesitated. He wanted to persuade Xi Ning again, but Xu Si asked for this condition, and it seems that if he didn’t agree, Xu Si won’t let him meet Xi Ning.

Xu Si patiently waited for him to make a decision, and finally Jian Yue nodded. “Okay.”

–

Jian Yue disguised himself as Xu Si’s bodyguard. He put on a hat and when he lowered his head it could cover most of his face, then he followed Xu Si back to Xu family house.

Xi Ning was not in the living room, and Xu Si didn’t have the intention to look for him. Jian Yue wanted to remind Xu Si, but remembering the agreement when the two came, he kept silent.

Until 9 o’clock in the evening when Xu Si went to the dining room to eat, Jian Yue was standing not far behind him and he finally saw Xi Ning.

Xi Ning was wearing well-fitted home clothes. He slowed down when passing by the dining room and glanced over.

Xu Si called him, “Ning Ning, come here.”

Xi Ning stopped walking. He then slowly entered the dining room and sat down next to Xu Si.

Xu Si wiped his hand clean and pulled Xi Ning’s right hand. “Why did you remove the bandage?”

“It’s almost healed.” Xi Ning curled up his fingers, not wanting Xu Si to look at it. “It’s uncomfortable.”

The wound was obviously not healed. Xu Si exposed him. “Did you touch the water?”

Xi Ning’s face showed embarrassment and pulled his hand back. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Xu Si calmly said, “Even if your hand doesn’t hurt anymore, I’m still feeling distressed.”

Xi Ning didn’t know what to answer so he changed the subject and said, “Did Jian Yue go to find you?”

“He did come to the company today.” Xu Si picked up his chopsticks again and continued to eat. “He said he wanted to take you back.”

Jian Yue almost couldn’t hold himself back. He hadn’t said that.

Xi Ning was silent for a long time. Xu Si quickly finished eating and motioned to Xi Ning to help support him to the wheelchair.

Xi Ning got up to help him up, but Xu Si stood still and leaned most of his body weight on Xi Ning. He turned his head and said in his ear, “Ning Ning, do you want to leave me?”

The voice was not loud, but it was enough for Jian Yue who was standing behind him to hear it, and it sounded very ambiguous from what he heard.

Xi Ning’s face turned sullen but he did not speak. He asked Xu Si to sit in the wheelchair before he said, “I haven’t asked you yet, why didn’t you tell him that I was here?”

Xu Si was very calm, “I don’t want him to see you.”

Especially when he was still unsure of Xi Ning’s relationship with Jian Yue. What if Xi Ning just ran away because of a sudden temper and met with Jian Yue? Would he would go back again?

Xu Si smiled again. “Didn’t I say that, when I come back, you can bite me as much as you like.”

Xi Ning felt that Xu Si was acting very abnormal today. He didn’t want to talk to him anymore, turned and left the dining room.
