Chapter 1382: Accidentally
Cen Xi looked at the SD card in her hand and lowered her eyes thoughtfully.
Did he put this thing in her bra?
Was his purpose to put this card?
Cen Xi went into the bedroom and found an old cell phone from the cabinet. Inserting the SD card in, she saw that there was a video inside. After watching the video, Cen Xi fell onto the bed weakly.
The next day, Cen Xi went out to buy a new cell phone and replaced her various identification documents. She stayed at home and did not go anywhere. Then, she went out again on the fourth day.
When she went back to her apartment, she saw a silver Bentley downstairs. The man’s tall figure was leaning lazily against the front of the car and he held a cigarette with white smoke curling up between his fingers. He looked over at Cen Xi the moment she had gotten off the taxi.
Cen Xi pursed her lips and walked towards him.
“What are you doing here?”Qiao Yanze lifted her lips into a frivolous smile. “I want to have a farewell dinner with you.”
Farewell dinner?
A wry smile appeared on Cen Xi’s cold and charming face. She crossed her arms and looked sideways at Qiao Yanze. “Young Master Qiao, we weren’t together for a long time, so why are we having this farewell dinner?”
Qiao Yanze flicked the cigarette ash. “Let’s meet at that private restaurant from the other time, at seven in the evening. It’s up to you whether you want to come or not.”
Without waiting for her to say anything, he turned around and went into the car.
…
At seven o’clock in the evening.
In the end, Cen Xi still went to the private restaurant.Qiao Yanze sat at the table where she had dinner with Brother Bai Lin the other time. It was by the French windows and Cen Xi saw him before she went in.
Cen Xi sat down on the seat opposite him.
Qiao Yanze handed Cen Xi a black pill. “This is a tonic. I got it from Doctor Bai Ye. It’s good for your body.”
Cen Xi looked at the pill in Qiao Yanze’s hand and did not speak for a long time.
“Take it!”
Cen Xi took the pill and looked at it carefully. “Is it some kind of poison? Do you want to harm me?”
“Do you want me to video call Bai Ye and ask him to prove it?” He took out his phone.
Before he could make the video call, Cen Xi picked up the glass of water and swallowed the black pill.
After that, Cen Xi looked at Qiao Yanze. He was looking at her with a deep and unreadable gaze. When he saw her looking at him, his expression turned back to that of being frivolous and devilish. “Don’t get me wrong. I slept with you and I wanted to compensate you. I know you don’t want my check so this medicine is my compensation to you.”Cen Xi had a complicated feeling in her heart when she thought of the video he had recorded in the SD card.
Her eyes filled with tears. “You don’t plan to have any contact with me in the future, do you?”
Qiao Yanze looked at Cen Xi’s red eyes and a feeling of affection and powerlessness spread out from his chest. He avoided her eyes and in a deep and hoarse voice, said, “Yes.”
Cen Xi did not speak again.
A dead silence spread between the two of them.
A moment later, Cen Xi did not wait for the dishes to be served and got up, leaving the private restaurant. Qiao Yanze sat on the chair, motionless like a statue, and did not chase after her.
When the dishes were served, Qiao Yanze did not start eating. He poured a glass of wine and started to drink.
After some time, a cold female voice floated into his ears. “Qiao Yanze.”
Qiao Yanze looked up and saw Cen Xi had come back.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, he lifted up the corners of his lips devilishly. “Why, you can’t bear to draw the line with me?”Cen Xi stepped forward, saying nothing and held Qiao Yanze’s neck, throwing herself in his arms and boldly pressed her lips against his.
Many diners in the hall shouted and cheered when they saw this scene.
Qiao Yanze raised his hand to push Cen Xi away, but she held it tightly.
Then, raising her hand, she slapped him in the face.
After that, she left without looking back. Her long hair that was spread behind her drew an arc in the air, leaving behind a light fragrance.
It was a long time before he got up and left.
In the car, he took out his hand from his pants pocket. In his palm, lay a small note.
He opened the note and there was a line of beautiful handwriting on it: I. Will. Not. Listen. To. You.Qiao Yanze’s handsome outline darkened.
Taking out his phone, Qiao Yanze called Xiao Zuo. “Be sure to watch over Cen Xi. Do not let her find out.”
…
After Cen Xi’s identification documents and visa were done, she was ready to leave to meet Gu Meng.
Gu Meng had moved out of the palace. Ye Qing had bought a villa by the sea and the garden was quite large, with all kinds of lush green plants and fernery. Going out of the door, one would be able to see the boundless sea. It was isolated from the bustling city and was quiet and comfortable.
In the Capital, Cen Xi was most worried about Gu Meng. In her heart, Gu Meng and Ye Qing were just like the farmer and the snake.
If it wasn’t for Gu Meng, could Ye Qing have lived to this day? Now he only treated Gu Meng as a tool to have a child. After the child was born, he would let her go. Wasn’t he being a bully?
“Mengmeng, if he really wants to ask you to go and keep the child after you have given birth, you must ignore him if he recovers his memory and kneels down to beg you in the future!”
Gu Meng had now learned to distinguish Ye Qing and Brother Ah Dai. Although they have the same body, they were different souls in her heart.
“His plan is to ask me to go and keep the child.” Gu Meng looked down at her belly and stroked it. “Xiao Xi, you know how happy I was when I learned that I was pregnant. But now, I’m not looking forward to the birth of this child at all.”
Cen Xi felt her scalp turn numb. “Mengmeng, don’t do anything silly.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to hurt myself. I’m not looking forward to the birth of the child but it doesn’t mean that I don’t like him. I just don’t dare to look forward to it too much. I will have to be separated from him after he’s born. When he grows up, he will call another woman ‘mother’. He may never know in his whole life that his mother is just an ordinary girl from a fishing village.”
Cen Xi held Gu Meng’s hand tightly and hot tears of heartache flowed out of her eyes. “Mengmeng, don’t belittle yourself. You’re not ordinary at all. You have to believe in yourself.”
Cen Xi stayed in the villa all afternoon and left after having dinner.
After she left, Gu Meng took a walk and then went back to her room to have a bath. When she came out, she heard the sound of an engine downstairs.
She went to the window and looked out.
A tall man in a black coat came out of the car and took a glance upstairs.
Gu Meng did not even think about it and drew the curtains shut. She sat on the bed, took a book and concentrated on reading it.
