Taking a deep breath, Lan Xi knew that her time was up. It was best if she left while Qiao Lin was not in the living room.
Lan Xi looked longingly at her surroundings before walking out.
After Lan Xi left the villa, a bodyguard came up to ask her where she was going.
Lan Xi said that she would go for a walk by herself. If she didn't trust them, she could follow. The security guard was stumped by her magnanimous tone and did not follow, saying that he was giving her space. Lan Xi felt that it was funny, but she also felt stifled.
In order to prevent the bodyguards from discovering her intentions to leave, Lan Xi and Chi Mo Han agreed to wait for her at the street corner of the villa.
Lan Xi walked further and further away from the villa. The security guards stood at the entrance for a long time without seeing her return. They knew something had happened, so they called her while they set off to find her.
At this moment, Lan Xi, who was being cared for, was in an awkward situation. Right now, she had three men in front of her: Chi Mohan, Xiao Yunyi, and Lu Zihao. Chi Mohan and Xiao Yunyi each grabbed one of her hands, preventing her from moving.
"Why are you here?"
Lan Xi asked Xiao Yunyi in surprise. According to the usual time, he should still be working at the company.
"I should be asking you that." Xiao Yunyi's tone was very bad. "You should be in the villa at this time of the day. Why are you here, or with him? Where are you planning to go?"
Lan Xi was stumped by Xiao Yunyi's words. She didn't want him to know the reason behind her leaving. That would be too embarrassing.
She tilted her head and did not say a word.
"It has nothing to do with you where we are planning to go. Director Xiao, you are overstepping your boundaries."
Even though Lan Xi didn't say anything, Chi Mo Han couldn't bear to see her wronged.
He was already jealous of Lan Xi's feelings towards Xiao Yunyi, so how could he tolerate Xiao Yunyi questioning Lan Xi like this?
"Is it because I care too much? "Hehe." Xiao Yunyi sneered, "If I didn't care a bit more, she would've died to Lin Shengkun countless times already. Can she still be in front of you right now? Are you trying to bewitch her into going to Lin Zhenkun for revenge? I don't know if you want her to die for her own good or not. "Just what are your intentions?"
Xiao Yunyi's tone was stern, and the atmosphere became tense because of his words.
Lan Xi looked at Xiao Yunyi defensively. She used some strength to free herself from the hands of the two men who were grabbing her. Then, she shifted her body to protect Chi Mo Han behind her.
Right now, the four of them were in a stalemate. Lu Zihao was standing behind Xiao Yunyi, while Chi Mohan was standing behind Lan Xi.
After Xiao Yunyi saw Lan Xi push Chi Mo Han behind him, his expression became extremely unsightly. After seeing Lan Xi's actions, Chi Mo Han felt very touched.
He didn't think that Lan Xi would protect him to such an extent that she would go up against Xiao Yunyi for his sake. However, this also reflected from the side how much she wanted to leave this place.
They just stood there for a while.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound and a group of people ran over. It was the security guards of the villa who had found them. However, they didn't expect Xiao Yunyi to be here as well, and were dumbfounded.
Xiao Yunyi didn't say anything, but Lu Zihao stood up and asked the captain what had happened.
The security chief repeated what Lan Xi had said to him. Lan Xi felt a little awkward. She didn't expect that they would find her before she left.
Xiao Yunyi had also finished listening to the entire process, and was looking meaningfully at Lan Xi. After a while, Qiao Lin who had received the news also rushed over. This time, the situation was even more chaotic, and it would be even more disadvantageous for Lan Xi if she were to leave.
"Come here."
Xiao Yunyi didn't pay attention to the noisy crowd behind him as he stared fixedly at Lan Xi.
But when he spoke, the people behind him stopped talking. Chi Mo Han, who was standing behind Lan Xi, also paid attention to her actions. He wanted to see what choice she would make.
Chi Mo Han's hand reached out to grab Lan Xi's arm, and the latter turned her head to look into Chi Mo Han's deep eyes.
"Don't go." He said, "If you think about it, can you come back? And does he have a place for you? And think about the news you heard today. "
Lan Xi's wavering heart was reassured once again by Chi Mo Han's reminder. There was no longer any place for her there. Going back would only bring about humiliation.
Lan Xi took a step back and stood by Chi Mo Han's side, "I won't go back with you. Leave, you can let me go too. I will take revenge for my parents. We have nothing to do with each other from now on."
Lan Xi laughed self-deprecatingly and then said, "We didn't have any relationship in the first place, so it just so happens that we reverted back to the appearance of strangers."
Withdrawing his hand from the air, Xiao Yunyi's gaze did not leave Lan Xi.
They were not far from each other, and he also heard what Chi Mo Han had said.
He had some doubts in his heart. What news? Where was it?
Xiao Yunyi did not let his doubt show on his face as he spoke with the same unyielding attitude, "Who said we don't have anything to do with it? You don't remember how many times we were together, and don't forget what you signed before. And like I said, if you want revenge, I can help you.
"You're shameless." Lan Xi didn't expect that Xiao Yunyi would be able to say such words so easily. She scolded him in front of everyone with a blushing face. Then she said angrily, "Don't say anymore, it's useless to say anything, I won't go back with you. Since I've already decided, I won't break my promise so easily. No matter what you say today, I will leave. "
Chi Mohan and Xiao Yunyi were shocked by Lan Xi's words. They didn't expect her to be so resolute in wanting to leave this time.
Chi Mo Han silently changed positions and protected Lan Xi behind him. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of her later, so Lan Xi coordinated with him as well.
The sky was dark. Clouds gathered together, as if a heavy rain was about to fall soon. It was a black mass, it seemed like a storm was about to break.
The black mass of the sky took advantage of Xiao Yunyi's cold face, causing one's heart to tremble.
Lan Xi had never seen Xiao Yunyi like this. Even when she had been captured and whipped by his subordinates when they tried to assassinate him, his expression hadn't been as terrifying as it was now.
Lan Xi didn't know what he was dissatisfied about. He was the one who was about to get engaged, he was the one who had a fiancee, and he was the one who told her to stay.
"Boom!" The sound of thunder shook the earth. Xiao Yunyi's voice was incredibly clear at this moment.
"I'll ask you one last time, do you have to leave?"
The rain slowly began to fall. Lan Xi struggled, but the rain only made her calmer.
"Yes."
