Chapter 39
Chu Xuning lit up a cigarette.
He looked up and saw Xie Zhengyuan gripping his phone with trembling hands. He squinted his eyes and blew out a puff of smoke. “What do you mean? Do you think that this person is her?”
“How could that be?” Xie Zhengyuan stepped on the cigarette that fell to the ground. His eyes were very deep. “I just wanted to see who this person is.”
1He took his coat and left.
Xie Zhengyuan did not tell Chu Xuning that this tactic and tone meant…
Anyone could not easily copy her skill.
“Please close the door for me when you leave. Thanks.” Without looking at them, Chu Xuning replied as he pulled the chair in front of the computer desk and turned on his computer. He sent out a video call invite.
It was very clear.
Kyle was trying to mess with the Su Family.
Su Huiqing walked to the table and picked her phone. It was a new message.
She glanced at it before replying. ‘Not free.’
After she had sent out a reply, she casually threw her phone to the side.
Deciding to meet up with Xie Zhengyuan, made her ponder about it for a long time. She had a feeling that Xie Zhengyuan had a deep understanding of Su S, because if not, he would not keep chasing after a stranger that he met online. Meeting him meant having a monumental risk.
Unless she took him as her own.
The next day, Yu Xiangyang and Qu Yan carried their bags and looked for her in the early morning.
“Qingqing, are you not bringing us for training?” The black car stopped at the city center. Qu Yan carried her bag and got down from the car before looking at Su Huiqing to ask her a question.
Su Huiqing had both hands in her pockets while her black eyes scanned through the plaza.
She wasn’t in her school uniform, and instead, she wore a blue coat and loosely buttoned her buttons halfway, exposing her white T-shirt.
2“Where is Time Cafe?” She didn’t respond to Qu Yan’s question and merely tilted her head.
Yu Xiangyang caught up with them and felt a little strange. “It is in the business district on the left side. Why are you looking for a coffee shop?”
Su Huiqing walked towards that direction.
Under the sun, the contour of her side view was a little hazy. She half-squinted her eyes and looked very casual.
Under the two people’s gazes, she spat out six words. “I have an appointment with someone.”
–
In Time Cafe.
Xie Zhengyuan put out his fifth cigarette before taking out his phone to check for any new messages. He did not send the private room number wrongly.
The watch on his wrist pointed to 9:59 a.m.
He lit up his sixth cigarette.
At that moment, someone pushed the door open from the outside.
On his wristwatch, the hour hand pointed to 10 while the minute hand pointed to 12.
A figure stood by the door, and she fished out her phone from her pocket and looked down with a cold expression. She faced the sunlight that shone down from the window, and it looked as though a golden, thin layer of fabric surrounded her. Her face shone with glitter as well.
She raised her chin and squinted her eyes before chuckling. “I’m here for our appointment at ten o’clock.”
