Chapter 525: Luckily It Wasn’t Her

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

The road ahead was a bit congested because of the accident. It seems that there is really no way to return for a while. Lifting up his sleeve, glancing at the time on his wrist, it was already more than 6 o’clock.
I wonder if that stupid woman will be waiting at home for her dinner. She hadn’t eaten anything at all for lunch today, so I’m afraid she’s a little hungry now.
Flipping out his cell phone, he dialed her cell. It seemed to be interrupted by messages, and all the time there was a distracting busy tone coming through. He frowned slightly and dialed his home number instead, but …
It rang over and over again, and surprisingly, no one ever answered. Damn it! How could this woman not be home at a time like this? Where did she go? Only of she looked.
Did she book a flight home privately because she was gambling with herself? It’s best if she doesn’t have such guts, otherwise, he will not let her go!
Lan Yu Feng’s face was so somber that it looked like it was darker than the current sky. Gripping the car keys tightly, he starts and heads out. Seeing this, Yan Nan didn’t dare to be slow, holding his umbrella and immediately following, “Sir, the rain is getting heavier and heavier.”
“I know!” His tone was less than favorable. After tossing the keys to the car boy, his car was immediately driven over.
He pulled open the door and sat in the car, hastily explaining to Yan Nan, “We’ll talk about anything tomorrow!”
He said, ignoring the torrential rain that slammed the car ‘popping’ outside the window, and rushed straight onto the road.
Along the way, he kept calling Zige’s cell phone, but it never connected. On the way, once it was connected, but no one answered. Looking out the window at the raging storm, after several brutal car accidents along the way, Lan Yu Feng’s mood had never been so manic.
When there was no answer again, he ripped the earbuds out of his ears in annoyance and flung them aside on the passenger seat.
When he returned home, he didn’t even bother to wipe off the rainwater on his face, so he wrenched open the door and rushed inside, looking at the empty hall, his face became more and more gloomy.
Damn it! Even the fireplace is dark!
“Menzie Ge!” Propping up his cane, he headed for his room.
In the room, there was no sign of her at all, either.
“Damn it!” With a low curse, he grabbed the phone on the wall and proceeded to dial her number.
How dare she run out alone in this weather with no knowledge of Russian! It’s almost as if she doesn’t want to die!
Zige concentrated on shopping in the supermarket, which was well heated, warm and cozy, and she didn’t even want to leave. Since she couldn’t read Russian, she had to guess at everything except for groceries based on her own imagination or the pictures on the bags, and she was enjoying herself. She was completely unaware of the dangerous situation outside at the moment.
After struggling to pay the bill again, she walked to the door with a large bag and looked out at the gusty wind bombing, scaring her so much that she immediately shrank her neck back.
Days!
It’s too cold!
Moreover, the storm was so fierce that it made it simply impossible for her to move an inch.
Carrying her things, Zige stood somewhat torn. If he rushed out like this, I’m afraid he would easily be blown away by the wind. Even if he took a taxi back, he didn’t know what to say to the driver about the address!
She was at a loss for words when the cell phone in her pocket boomed. She hurriedly set the item in her hand on a cart aside and flipped the phone with her free hand.
“Hello.”
“Damn it! Where are you?!” Over there, there was almost a scratchy, low growl.
Zige was shocked and froze in class. Although Lan Yu Feng didn’t have a small temper, he rarely lost his temper directly like this.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“I asked you for your current address!” He repeated again. Each word was grim and forceful, obviously laced with a more frenzied anger.
Zige didn’t dare to mess with him and only said obediently, “I was shopping at the nearest supermarket to my home, and I wanted to go back earlier to make dinner, but …”
“Stupid!” He was furious and directly interrupted her. This kind of hellish weather, running out to shop in some damn supermarket! To actually be so uncaring!
“Stay where you are and don’t take a single step. Otherwise, there will be consequences!” Putting down the harsh words of warning, he ‘snapped’ and dropped the phone. That force, it was almost like using a fling.
Zi Ge nuzzled for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he called out eagerly twice. But where was his voice over there?
This guy isn’t trying to come on to himself, is he?
But …
Was it safe for him to travel on a day like this? She’d rather find a way to get back on her own by letting him out and risking his life.
Zige was worried and immediately called the phone back, but there was just no one there to listen again. It seemed that he had already left the house. This man, doing things too efficiently!
Lan Yu Feng drove all the way forward. It had snowed before and now it was raining, so the street was a bit slippery. He drove as steadily as he could, and by the time he reached the entrance of the supermarket, it was already completely dark.
Stopping the car on the front lawn, he didn’t even bother to take his umbrella, just propped up his cane and got out. Just as he got out of the car, he heard two local girls walking past him talking in Russian conversing, “What’s with all the car accidents today?”
“Yes, next time we shouldn’t go out in this weather. There’s a Chinese guy hit at the gate there, down in a pool of blood, it’s pathetic!”
Hearing a few key words, Lan Yu Feng’s walking footsteps suddenly lurched.
Ziggy!
As the two girls were hurriedly about to run inside the cab, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed one of them. The force was so great that the other girl shrieked in fright and burst out ‘help’. Lan Yu Feng had no intention of explaining that much to her, but just asked sharply in Russian: ”What Chinese? Is the car accident serious? Where is she now?”
“What what Chinese? Of course is the same as you black hair white skin Chinese!” The other party looked at him inexplicably, to see his face cold as if he wanted to eat people, she struggled fearfully, while pointing to a place not far away from the gathering of people, explaining with a sobbing voice: “It’s over there, and now it’s still lying there. You let go, if you don’t let go I’m going to call the police!”
One look at that crowd and his heart suddenly ached tremendously, and an uneasiness quickly seized him.
Lan Yu Feng immediately let go of his hand, not caring that the heavy rain had drenched him in no time, he held up his cane and walked briskly towards the crowd.
The hand holding the cane trembled slightly, the fingertips white.
Menzies Ge, never, never be you!
“Get out of the way!”
“Move over!”
He was still strong, especially at the moment, and his aura seeped through. The crowd made way, and he screwed up his heart and walked over quickly, the first thing that caught his eye was a puddle of blood, scattered by the heavy rain.
Breathing stuttered tight and his chest tightened.
“Menzie Ge!” He called out in a low voice. The voice was dark and hoarse.
Until he saw the dying man on the ground, he froze, and the tightly tensed string in his heart, abruptly loosened. For a moment, even breathing was smooth.
Not her …
Luckily it wasn’t her!
There had never been a moment when he wanted to thank God as much as he did now.
Lan Yu Feng looked helplessly and silently took out his cell phone and dialed the emergency number before turning to leave.
“Lan Yu Feng!” Suddenly, a cry came from the crowd, carrying a clear sense of alarm and panic.
Menzies?
He turned his head almost immediately.
I saw a thin figure rushing out of the crowded crowd on the other side in a state of distress and staggering. She was also drenched enough by the rain, and her face was as pale as a sheet of white paper. Almost without even looking, she cried and pounced on the man in the pool of blood, “Lan Yu Feng, is it you? How are you doing? Please don’t scare me …”
She cried her heart out, causing the nearby onlookers to show their sympathy.
“Looks like it’s his girlfriend! It’s really weird and pathetic!”
“Yeah, this girl loves her boyfriend, right, crying like this … hey.”
Lan Yu Feng heard someone talking next to him. Although he knew that this was out of place, he couldn’t help the upward curve of his lips.
“KIMI!” suddenly a Russian girl from the crowd ran out and also lunged towards the man in the pool of blood.
Ziggy glared at the other woman warily with teary eyes. The other party put down a few words in Russian at her, which she couldn’t understand, but when she looked down, she realized that she had actually made a big mess.
For a moment, crouching beside the man, he was actually a little overwhelmed.
Looking at that silly look, Lan Yu Feng was simply embarrassed to recognize her. This idiot, it’s really embarrassing!
“Menzie Ge!” He stood there, looking down at her through the thick curtain of rain.
This sound …
She shuddered and looked up in shock.
Under his eyes was a faint smile that he couldn’t hide, “What are you doing?”
He was standing freshly in front of himself and nothing happened …
Zige cried out, stood up, and flung herself into his arms. Wrapping her arms around his waist as if to make sure it was all true, she wrapped her arms around him very hard, coveting the warmth that belonged to him.
She was trembling all over, full of fear, and it was pitiful. Lan Yu Feng deepened his eyes and lowered them to look at the top of her soaked hair, “Idiot, why are you crying?”
“I’m glad you’re okay … I thought that was you …” she choked, explaining.
The rain hit the face, but he no longer felt cold. She leaned on his chest, this instant, only felt a warm current from the veins, slowly flow into the heart, and then run into every cell. With one arm, he embraced her tightly, whispering darkly, “Fool!”
The rain, still streaking.
The scarce people around were holding umbrellas. The man, who had fallen in a pool of blood, had also been taken away by ambulance.
Under the entire space, they were the only ones embracing each other, standing in the rain curtain. The people coming and going around them all shot uncomprehending but also envious gazes towards them.
To embrace each other in spite of everything, how deep a love must be to do that?
“Oops! I left everything I bought in the shopping cart, I’ll go get it right now.” After her emotions calmed down, Ziggy got out of his arms and wiped the rain off her face as she told him, “You’d better get back to the car, it’s raining so hard outside.”
“You’re the one who should be back in the car.” Lan Yu Feng yanked her wrist and headed for the parking ramp.
“No way! Those things are expensive, I have to get them back.” Zige insisted.
“Where’s the stuff? I’ll go get it.” He was already pulling open the car door to shove her into the car. Where was Zige willing to let him go alone? She grabbed his hand and took a step back, “Why don’t we just go together.”
Lan Yu Feng could only nod, “Hurry up then.”
She bought a large bag, and in the pouring rain, the two of them stuffed their things into the car. Soaked to the skin, the two people cowering and burrowing into the car. Watching Lan Yu Feng turn on the heater while taking off his windbreaker and probing behind him to pull out a towel, Zige couldn’t help but giggle.
He sat up straight and caught her laughing. Giving her an irritated glare, “Still laughing! If it weren’t for you, could we have gotten into such a mess?”
Zige leaned over and pressed her frozen face against the heater air vents, craning her neck to look at him, “Why didn’t you bring an umbrella when you ran over here? Well … it’s really cold, we should all catch a cold later, right?”
With an umbrella? He was in such a hurry to get away that he didn’t care.
