Meng Qingxia looked at Chen Xi with teary eyes. She knew that her suffering was not as easy as she said it to be. She could not imagine what would happen to her if such a thing were to happen to her.
"Go?" Where to? This is my home. Since I am willing to do this now, I didn't think of leaving. " Chen Xi smiled faintly.
"Do you think I should forgive her?" Chen Xi asked.
"I don't know either. Maybe, maybe not. As for the future, who can explain it clearly?" Chen Xi lowered her voice and spoke in a light tone.
"You're quite open-minded." A low and powerful voice suddenly exploded in their ears.
Chen Xi and Meng Qingxia looked up at the same time, only to see Tang Hongbo's ugly expression leaning on her office door. From the looks of it, he seemed to have stayed there for a long time.
Chen Xi stood up from her chair, looking a little flustered.
Meng Qingxia also stood up and laughed.
"You, why did you suddenly come here?" Chen Xi greeted somewhat stiffly.
"Not too sudden. He arrived a quarter of an hour ago." Tang Hongbo's voice did not sound happy or angry at all.
Chen Xi felt a little awkward, and could only smile speechlessly, before using her eyes to signal Meng Qingxia, who was at the side.
"Save me ~"
When Meng Qingxia received Chen Xi's pleading eyes, she could only pretend she did not see anything.
Duan Wenyu who had left Chen Xi's office could not help but heave a long sigh of relief, then patted his chest to console himself.
She didn't want to be killed by her cousin's icy gaze.
The moment she raised her head, she saw Ah Mu staring at her. Her face suddenly grew hot, and then she recited the name a hundred times in her heart, allowing her to not destroy the flower of her homeland and Chen Yiran's name. In the end, she slowly walked towards Ah Mu.
As for Chen Xi's office, it fell into silence. In Chen Xi's heart, she cursed Meng Qingxia a hundred times for sneaking away without being loyal.
Although she hadn't done anything shameful, being stared at by Tang Hongbo's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, she suddenly wanted to admit that she had done something like murder and arson.
"Xi Xi, why do you look so guilty?" Tang Hongbo sat on the chair Meng Qingxia had been sitting on earlier and faced her face to face. She took the initiative to break the silence.
Chen Xi laughed awkwardly.
"Where did that come from? What do I have a guilty conscience for?" Chen Xi looked around, but she did not see his eyes.
"Yeah, what are you afraid of? If I don't let Qingxia come and ask, do you plan to never tell me again in your entire life? " Tang Hongbo suddenly lowered his head and asked with a somewhat desolate voice.
After Chen Xi heard this, she was stunned.
"You, Qingxia, did you ask that just now?" Chen Xi muttered.
"Does it matter? Is that what you're concerned about? " Tang Hongbo shook his head and laughed bitterly.
"No, Hongbo, listen to my explanation …" Chen Xi said somewhat frantically.
"Alright, I heard your explanation. I thought that after last night, you would open your heart to me, but I never thought that I was the one who thought that I was being sentimental, that you would talk to Qingxia instead of talking to me. I don't blame you, it's my fault. Tang Hongbo seemed to be muttering to himself.
Chen Xi's heart suddenly hurt.
When she still wanted to explain more, Tang Hongbo had already stood up and left.
Chen Xi's bellyful of words choked in his throat, how could things change so quickly, was he angry at her?
Chen Xi was stunned on her chair, but in the next second, she got up and chased after her.
No, she was going to tell him, he wasn't being sentimental, he wasn't being sentimental.
It wasn't that she didn't want to tell him, but she hadn't decided how to do it yet.
When Chen Xi rushed into Tang Hongbo's office, realizing that there was no one, she was startled. Where did he go? Was he really angry?
Chen Xi turned around and went out again, and just in time to see Secretary Wang, she grabbed him.
"Did you see the president?" Chen Xi asked anxiously.
"Madam, what's wrong?" Seeing her so anxious, Secretary Wang could not help but ask.
"It's nothing. Did you see him?" Chen Xi asked again.
"The CEO just said that he wanted to go out alone. He didn't ask me to follow him. I think he went to the parking lot." Secretary Wang said.
"Thank you." Chen Xi thanked her and ran in the direction of the elevator.
In Chen Xi's heart, there was a voice constantly telling her that if she did not chase her out today, she would definitely regret it.
When she finally saw Tang Hongbo's car, without thinking at all, she immediately rushed over and stopped in front of it.
Then, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes. She heard a screeching sound of brakes, and fell to the ground.
Just as she was about to regain her senses, she felt herself being lifted up, and then she saw Tang Hongbo's face growing larger in front of her.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Tang Hongbo asked nervously.
Chen Xi smiled as she understood what was going on.
"I'm fine."
In the next second, he felt the grip on her arm loosen and she fell back to the ground.
Then, he saw Tang Hongbo's face turn extremely pale and ugly. He put his hands on his hips and loosened his tie on his chest, as if he was trying to calm himself down.
In the next second, he was pointing at Chen Xi, speaking with all her might.
"Chen Xi, are you crazy? What are you doing, do you know what you were doing? If it was me, if I didn't stop the car, if the brakes weren't working, if … " Tang Hongbo put his hands on his waist and rested them on his forehead. He was about to go crazy.
Even now, he felt that his hands were still trembling. Just a moment ago, they were just a hair's breadth away. He didn't even dare to think about it. If something really happened just now, he would have gone crazy on the spot.
"Chen Xi, let me tell you, if by any chance, if you …" Just as Tang Hongbo was halfway through his words, he suddenly felt his vision darken. In the next second, an ice-cold lips pressed against his lips, which were dry because of fear.
Her kiss was strange and unstructured. It was a random kiss, as if she was comforting him with an uneasy feeling.
He did not make a single move, allowing her to kiss him carelessly.
She did not know if it was out of shyness or because she could not get a response from him, but she slightly moved away from his lips, lowering her head and speaking in a mosquito-like voice.
"I'm sorry, and if there's no chance, I'm sure you'll stop the car."
Tang Hongbo saw her blushing slightly and the expression on her face slowly became gentle. In the next second, he reached out and pulled her back into his embrace, one hand holding her waist and the other holding her head, slowly deepening his kiss.
The kiss made Chen Xi gasp for breath, and he started to place his hands on her chest, but it was as if he was punishing her for her reckless actions just now, and had no intention of letting her go.
"Ugh …" Chen Xi protested with her voice.
It was only when Tang Hongbo's tongue swept across every inch of her mouth that he finally let go of her reluctantly.
Seeing her flushed face and her disordered breathing, and her clothes being rubbed so wrinkled by him, Tang Hongbo finally managed to somewhat calm down.
Chen Xi glared at him. Although she admitted that she was at fault, he was going too far, okay?
If she was like this now, how could she face others?
"Do you know your wrongs?" Tang Hongbo asked.
"What?" Chen Xi said with a dissatisfied tone.
"I'm warning you, don't do anything dangerous next time. Do you understand?" Tang Hongbo said with a disappointed look.
"I was wrong, I won't stop anymore." Chen Xi lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
"Well, what else?" Tang Hongbo asked.
"What else?" Chen Xi asked in confusion.
"Think about it." Tang Hongbo said.
Chen Xi tilted her head and thought for a moment. She really couldn't think of anything, so she gave up.
"Can't remember?" Tang Hongbo glanced at her.
Chen Xi nodded.
"Do you need me to remind you?" Tang Hongbo asked indifferently.
"Sure." Chen Xi laughed.
Then, he saw Tang Hongbo whispering to her ear.
"Don't kiss me again in the future, because this is more dangerous than a car accident." After Tang Hongbo finished speaking, he turned around and got on the carriage with a serious expression.
Only Chen Xi was left in the wind, messing around. After a few seconds, Chen Xi was like the wind, sweeping in the front passenger seat.
Tang Hongbo frowned.
"What are you doing up here?"
"I'm not done yet. Don't you want to hear it?" Chen Xi said as she tilted her neck.
"Alright, go ahead." Tang Hongbo leaned back in his chair as he listened attentively.
"Actually, I didn't intentionally not telling you. I was just afraid that you would be impulsive. In addition, I felt that this was a matter between her and me, and I wished for it to be resolved by myself. So, do you understand?" Chen Xi frowned as she explained.
"I don't understand, and I don't intend to, I only know that you have been hiding this from me. In fact, I have already known about what happened three years ago, but I just didn't dare to confirm who the murderer was. It was only last night, when I heard your conversation with her, that I was certain that you would personally tell me. Sigh, forget it, I won't bother with you anymore. " Tang Hongbo helplessly sighed.
Chen Xi immediately beamed, and then he leaned over and hugged onto his arm, leaning on his shoulder, and said with a soft voice.
"I knew you were the best."
Tang Hongbo was both angry and amused as he shook his head. He then reached out to pinch her pale white face.
"Do you think I'll forgive you just because you say good words and act like a spoiled child?"
Chen Xi frowned, and immediately replied.
"You don't mean what you say. Just now, you said you wouldn't bother with me, but now, why did you go back on your words?"
"Why?" Tang Hongbo acted as if he had an opinion.
Chen Xi lowered her head, looking like she was the boss.
"Okay, I understand. Actually, I was in the wrong before as well. I was too rash and did not blame you."
