Xi Jianguo got out of the car and leaned against the door without moving. He finally put Abby down with a knockout drug and drove alone to find Chen Xi.
The large lock of the duplex proved that she had never come back.
He called her, but her phone was turned off.
He didn't know where she was going, but there were some things he wanted to make clear to her.
He had only come to Tian Xin's place to try his luck.
It was very possible that she was currently with Chen Shao Huan.
Now that he saw the lamp, he was almost certain that Chen Xi Wu was here.
He took a pack of cigarettes out of the car, lit one, and slowly smoked it between his fingers.
His tightened heart, which had been tense all night, relaxed a little. The light white smoke was blown away by the night wind, and the dim yellow street light made his tall figure seem even longer and more lonely.
The spark on his fingertip finally dissipated. He took out his phone and called Tian Xin from the window that still had the same light.
Tian Xin and Chen Xi Wu were discussing what happened tonight, focusing on Xi JianZhe's attitude.
Hearing the phone ring, he grabbed it and looked at it. He then gave it to Chen Xi Wu and handed it to her. So late at night, did he call to talk about life with his sister? "
Chen Xi glanced at the screen and saw the three words. She blinked and immediately lost interest in eating snacks. She grabbed the cup of water in front of her and gulped it down.
Her silence made Tian Xin somewhat hesitant. She thought for a moment before answering the phone and pressing speaker.
"Hello?"
"Tian Xin, I'm looking for her."
The gentle, low, and hoarse voice carried a sense of certainty and an unyielding toughness that could not be refused.
Tian Xin curled her lips and turned her head to look at Chen Xi who was standing at the side. She tilted her chin towards the lit up screen and silently asked, "What should we do?"
Chen Xi Wu held the cup of water and shook her head. Tian Xin had understood her meaning and her voice became even more hoarse.
"You sure are spirited to disturb people's sweet dreams at night. I've already... "Ugh …" "I'm very sleepy. If you have nothing else, you're going to die."
"The lights in your living room are still on. Did you forget to turn them off when you were sleeping?" Xi Yuzhan smiled at the window and pleaded, "I know she's at your house. Let her out. I have something important to say."
She looked at the woman beside her and saw that she was completely indifferent to her work. A hint of impatience appeared in her voice.
"Didn't you understand? "What's more, why are you looking for her this late at night? Be careful that your wife knows how to make you kneel on the keyboard."
Chen Xi Wu gave a thumbs up on the side, continuing to hold the cup of water to drink, as if it was an unparalleled delicacy.
"I know she's here, even sitting right next to you. You tell her I'll be waiting for her outside for ten minutes, and if she doesn't come down I'll knock on the door. It's not good to disturb the people at this late hour, but if she doesn't come out, I have no choice but to do so. "
"That's your problem, I don't care." Tian Xin pretended to yawn again.
"Don't you want to know what happened between us? Like me and her? We were on the sofa in her house …"
"Xi Zhaozhe, why don't you just die!"
Just as Tian Xin was listening attentively to the gossip with a face full of shock, Chen Xi suddenly put down her water cup and shouted.
Tian Xin couldn't hold it in any longer. She burst out laughing, her eyes filled with ridicule.
What was this? He admitted it without even fighting.
"I knew it, you were there. "Come out, I have something to discuss with you. It's a very important matter!" His tone was gentle, but it also implied that he had to repeatedly emphasize his helplessness.
Chen Xi Wu's cheeks were burning from Tian Xin's expression. She spat in dissatisfaction and cursed him softly. With a 'whoosh', she stood up from the sofa and pushed open the door.
