Even if the bus was in a hurry, even if he was sitting in an open-air cafe across the road at the moment, even if it was only a figure, she had him in her sights.
And, recognizing him instantly.
But …
The woman he was with …
Why are they together?
Zige was so surprised that her thoughts were a little clogged. The bus happened to stop at the curb stop, and without caring about the time, she hurriedly jumped down from the back door.
She stood on the curb and looked across at the two …
He, and … Geng Jing …
The two men were talking about something, and he was as bland and self-effacing as ever, taking the occasional shallow sip of coffee. The spring sunlight shone on him, reflecting a faint circle of light. Geng Jing’s style was charming, and in front of Lan Yu Feng, it showed even more.
Even if he didn’t even look at her, she didn’t feel frustrated. After chatting for a few moments, Lan Yu Feng pushed several heavy envelopes towards Geng Jing.
Well, it must be money!
Geng Jing weighed the envelope in her hand, while nodding in satisfaction, she got up and was about to leave, with Yan Nan following behind her.
Zige only froze for a split second, almost immediately rushing over. Nay, the sidewalk was still red, and she stared anxiously at Geng Jing’s figure. Flipping out her cell phone from her bag to dial Lan Yu Feng’s number. Quickly, it was picked up.
“What’s wrong?” Lan Yu Feng lazily leaned back in the rattan chair with a relaxed expression.
“Where are you?” Zige kept her eyes on Geng Jing, only to see that she had already walked over to a BMW parked on the side of the road, and Yan Nan pulled open the door for her.
“On the road.” Lan Yu Feng replied faintly.
“Help me stop her!” Seeing that Geng Jing had already gotten into the car, she couldn’t be bothered to ask for anything else, so she called out in a hurry. Over there, upon hearing this, Lan Yu Feng’s brows twisted, and when he looked up, he saw the figure that was running up on the sidewalk.
With a sideways glance, he gestured at Yan Nan. Yan Nan also saw Zi Ge running over at this time, without much thought, he quickly stepped into the car. The car immediately disappeared into the traffic. By the time Zi Ge ran over, she could only see the fading rear end of the car.
“Yan Nan!” Zige glared at Lan Yu Feng and was about to chase after him. This was the busiest place, the traffic was endless, and she was dangerous as hell in this manner. Lan Yu Feng sank his face, put his coffee down, reached out and yanked her to her feet, “What are you doing?”
“I was going to ask you what you were doing.” The car had already disappeared, it was impossible to catch up. Zige was exasperated, “I asked you to help me intercept her, but the gesture you gave to Yan Nan clearly told him to take her away as soon as possible.”
“So what?” He was calm and collected in the face of her questioning, without a hint of weakness.
Zi Ge was choked by his rhetorical question and was speechless for a moment. Returning to her senses, she looked straight into his deep eyes, “You lied to me!”
Lan Yu Feng looked at her indifferently, and in the face of such an accusation from her, he didn’t refute it.
“Last time I asked you, you said you never knew of this person, but what were you doing just now? Not only do you guys know each other, but, you don’t look like strangers at all. What is your … relationship?” .
Lan Yu Feng’s expression didn’t have a hint of levity, “This is my business, you don’t need to know.”
Zige seized her hand. In his opinion, between them, was there even a hint of involvement?
He lowered his eyes, glanced at the time, and reminded her in a bashful manner, “You’re going to be late for work if you don’t leave.”
She didn’t even know when, Lan Yu Feng actually knew her class clearly.
“You know very well how much I hate her …,” Zi Ge’s tone had the slightest hint of sadness, she tilted her head and looked at Lan Yu Feng, “Why did you lie to me?”
Her eyes were permeated with hurt. Seeing Lan Yu Feng’s heart screwed up, he pursed his lips, “You found her, so what can you do? Do you want to teach your mom a lesson for her, do you want to scold her twice, or shake her a few slaps?”
“I …” Ziggy was momentarily stumped by his question.
Lan Yu Feng glanced at her horizontally, as if mocking her naivety, ”You can’t even get a clear picture of someone’s bottom line, and you still want to venture out to find her? Meng Zige, don’t think everyone is as stupid as you. You don’t even dare to fling a slap, she can find someone to kill you with the movement of a few fingers she has a mob background.”
Ziggy froze for a moment. Suddenly she realized she was being lectured by this man again, and personally attacked. She defended herself sheepishly, ”I don’t call this stupidity, it’s pure conscience. Okay, I’m not going to theorize even if I’m not, but, at the very least, I should find her and ask her exactly who instructed her to approach my father and what she wants to get.”
The color of Lan Yu Feng’s eyes, unconsciously deepened a bit, and there was a dark tide surging under his eyes that Zi Ge couldn’t understand.
“Stupid!” He spat only two words faintly from his lips. Sinking his steps, he walked towards the car parked aside. Pulling open the door, with a sideways glance, seeing Zige still frozen there, he raised his voice, “Get in.”
Ziggy saw that he had gotten into the car. Not thinking much of it himself, he pulled the door open and sat in, “Why did you call me stupid?”
Lan Yu Feng sharply started the engine and slid the car into the driveway.
“If you go and ask, she will definitely say?” Lan Yu Feng didn’t answer, but asked her in return.
“…,” Ziggy said, stumbling over her words again.
“Push her over the edge and you’ll definitely be the one who suffers.” Lan Yu Feng doesn’t even look at her, only warns slyly, “Let me remind you, the next time you meet her, you’d better go as far away as you can, and lessen your entanglement with her.”
“No way! What kind of relationship do you guys have? You seem to know her very well. Also, did you just give her money? Why?”
“I have a favor to ask her.” He just downplayed it. Zi Ge sat on the side and didn’t say anything, just hung her head in contemplation of something. Lan Yu Feng thought for a moment and slowly opened his lips, “There’s something I didn’t lie to you about.”
Ziggy looked up at him.
“Before, like you, I wasn’t aware of her whereabouts. It was only after you spoke to me, that night, that I had Yannan find out.”
Zi Ge fixed his eyes and suddenly asked quietly, “Lan Yu Feng, can I trust you?”
He snorted, as if he could easily read her mind, “I gave her money, so you think I placed her between your father and Zhuo Zhenbang?”
Ziggy frowned slightly, nodded, and shook her head, “There’s no reason. Between you and my dad, there’s nothing going on, there’s no reason for me to be so suspicious of you …”
But …
In her heart, there was a strong uneasiness that always gripped her heart. In her heart, she was so disorganized that she couldn’t even sort herself out.
“I’ll allow you to doubt me, but the prerequisite for that doubt is that you have enough basis.” Lan Yu Feng was unimpressed, seemingly not even bothering to defend himself a few times.
Zige didn’t say much more, just leaned against the window and stared out of it numbly.
There was no reason for her to be suspicious of Lan Yu Feng, but the scene of Lan Yu Feng handing money to Geng Jing kept dangling in front of her eyes.
“Get off.” Zige only came back to her senses when Lan Yu Feng’s voice rang out. When she looked up, she was surprised that she had already arrived at the entrance of the hospital.
Zige looked at him and pursed her lips, “Thanks.”
“Uh-huh.” He just nodded slightly. Zi Ge was about to push open the car door and go down when Lan Yu Feng remembered something and suddenly reached out to pull her wrist. The heat hit her, and Zi Ge hesitated, pulling her hand out of his. Turning back, looking at his tightened brow, she forced a smile, “Is there something else?”
The tone, too, was a few degrees more detached.
It seemed that this woman was really doubting herself!
Lan Yu Feng’s complexion chilled a bit, still had no intention of defending himself, just glancing at her, “Little Douzi’s birthday is today, so, go back early tonight.”
Zige was stunned for a moment. Little Douzi was actually having a birthday today?
Is this destiny? Surprisingly, on the same day as her child who was not meant to be …
The thought of that child screwed up her heart a bit. She nodded, “I know, will be home early. I’ll be off then.”
She drilled out of the car, and Lan Yu Feng did not look at her again. When she walked down, the car, immediately rushed out a long way.
Looking at the car as it disappeared into traffic, Zige was slightly disoriented. Her suspicions had hurt him?
Her mind couldn’t help but think of the way he talked intently to her mother last night, and the thoughtful way he brought her tea and peeled her crabs. Although usually to himself he was harsh, but, these things she thought about but still a little touched. Zige was just thinking nonsense when she received a call from Mo Simin.
“Zee, you don’t say, that kid is really reliable.”
“Hmm? Who do you mean?”
“Yu Feng ah! I had those autographs delivered to me early this morning. It was just after 7:00, saying that he was afraid that if I went to work later, no one would be in the house, so he got up early on purpose. I think there was something else going on in the company, so I didn’t even sit down and hurriedly left again.”
Mo Simin’s words came from over there, and as Zi Ge listened in her ears, so many complicated feelings surged in her heart for a moment.
Moved, Guilty, Hard to Settle …
The two had just been together, and surprisingly, he hadn’t said a word about it.
This man, has never been one to talk much. So, just now, knowing that she was doubting him, he refused to defend himself even for a single word?
She … really shouldn’t have doubted him …
“Mom, it’s good that you like it. I’ll thank him properly for you.” She smiled a little, and her heart seemed much lighter.
Mo Simin laughed, “This kid is nice, you need to hold on tight. So good, turn around and let someone else snatch him away, then you’ll lose a lot.”
Zige lost her smile, “Mom, why do you have one thought a day? Yesterday, I was saying that he’s not suitable to be a boyfriend.”
She felt a little possessed. He was actually inexplicably happy to hear his mother praise him, more so than herself.
“You don’t listen to mom that nonsense.” Mo Simin laughed along with her, “Alright, mom won’t talk to you any more, I still have to work in a while.”
“Good.” Zige still didn’t forget to bark out, “Mom, think about my offer.”
After hanging up her mother’s phone, Zige hesitated, but still dialed the all-too-familiar string of numbers as she walked towards the hospital elevator.
The phone, after a few rings, was picked up.
“Anything else?” His voice, coming from over there, didn’t have a hint of emotional ups and downs, and Zige couldn’t hear any joy or anger.
“… Actually, it’s nothing …” Being asked by him, Zi Ge fell back looking a little embarrassed. Through the glossy elevator wall, glanced at himself, licked his lips, before opening his mouth somewhat uncomfortably, “I want to remind you to drive safely.”
This time, it was Lan Yu Feng who didn’t say anything for a while on that end. Opening his mouth again, his tone clearly fluctuated with emotions, “Uh, I know.”
“You’re the one who doesn’t know, driving the car that fast!” Zi Ge remembered the speed he just went and was really a bit worried. He could only use the left side of his foot, so he really didn’t know if he would be misplaced in an emergency.
Lan Yu Feng actually gave a low laugh over there, “I’ll have Yan Nan pick you up after work this afternoon? I want to make a cake for Little Douzi with my own hands, you come along too.”
Ziggy laughed along with her and nodded without hesitation, “Yes.”
