Chapter 1447: Chapter 1448: That Voice is Chu Xi

In the darkness, the large hand that had been gripping her tightly slowly released.

Rong Yan rubbed her wrist, which had been sore from the grip, pressed her lips together tightly, and looked up at him with her starry eyes. “I wasn’t planning on asking. You told me to ask, so I asked.”

“When I called you, who were you with? Was the voice I heard Chu Xi? Was you ditching me tonight related to her? Why were you two still together at that hour? Does she have feelings for you?”

There were some questions she hadn’t wanted to ask, but they were stuck in her throat. If she didn’t get them out, she’d feel suffocated.

Rong Yan poured out all the questions she wanted to ask in one go, then waited leisurely for his answers.

“That’s everything I wanted to ask. I’ve asked it all.”

She crossed her arms over her chest, her snow-white face now covered with a layer of icy coldness, as though she had built an invisible wall around herself.

In the depths of those seemingly calm eyes, there was a hidden anger she herself hadn’t realized, and even her lips were pressed together more tightly than usual.

She looked as if she was calmly discussing these things with him, but it was obvious—she was angry.

Rong Yan was angry!

Even though from the moment she heard that inexplicable woman’s voice chime in on the call, she had tried to suppress her emotions. She told herself that, given his identity, status, and appearance, it was normal for a few women to linger around him. They had an agreement to try for three years, and after three years, whether it was she or Li Shengxiao who felt it wasn’t working, they could end it. She was never someone who couldn’t let go. But ever since that call, even she could feel something was off with her emotions…

There wasn’t anything particularly upsetting. It was just that she lost her appetite for food, had no interest in doing anything, and felt a general lack of joy in anything she did.

She didn’t like this dragging, unresolved state, yet he had come to her, questioning why she hadn’t asked.

“At 9:30 p.m., you stood your girlfriend up for a full three hours, but you were with another woman instead. Do you want to break up with me?”

Li Shengxiao abruptly gripped her left wrist, his gaze fixed on her unblinkingly. His thin lips quivered as he said, “I have a cousin named Lin Wan. We grew up together. She has a gentle and introverted personality. When I first arrived at the Lin Family, she helped me out a lot. Later, after she got married and moved abroad, she would often call me, worrying that I was too busy with work here to take care of myself. She even sent health supplements from overseas…”

Rong Yan’s anger began to subside, her lashes lowering slightly. “And so?”

Li Shengxiao held tightly onto her wrist, as if afraid she wouldn’t listen to his explanation. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Today, she came back from abroad without telling anyone in her family. On the way home, she encountered a drunk truck driver and got into a car accident.”

A car accident?!

Rong Yan’s heart gave a violent jolt. She grabbed his hand in return. “Is she okay?”

Just now, she’d been so angry that she even mentioned breaking up, yet in the next moment, she was worried about Lin Wan. Li Shengxiao’s gaze softened. Looking at her, the corners of his mouth lifted in an almost imperceptible smile. He patted her head soothingly. “She’s okay.”

“Someone sent her and the taxi driver to the hospital in time. Cui Jiangjing performed the surgery on her. When I left, she was already awake.”

“…That’s good to hear.”

Rong Yan wanted to ask him, since he went to the hospital, why had she heard Chu Xi’s voice on the call, saying something about a home in Jiangcheng District?

From what she could vaguely piece together, it seemed like Li Shengxiao was offering to take her home?

Late at night, a man and a woman alone, going home together—no matter how one looked at it, it reeked of intimacy.
