C37 The Atmosphere Is Just Right
Ann Qianxi was still a little dazed when she was pressed against the wall. The matter that she had been trying to hide was easily exposed by him.
Ann Qianxi's mind was spinning fast. Of course, she couldn't tell him that she met Lei Jia last night. The two of them had a drink together, and it was very possible that they had a relationship with each other.
"I drank wine with Mo Xiaomi last night." Ann Qianxi carefully looked at the man in front of her. "To celebrate my rebirth."
"Is that true?" Chi Shaojun squinted his eyes dangerously and asked.
"Yes, I drank too much last night and overslept this morning." Facing his sharp eyes, Ann Qianxi lowered her eyes, a little guilty.
Since the other party had already exposed him, he might as well cover up all the lies he had told...
Chi Shaojun lowered his head to look at the woman who was just inches away from him. Because of his rough action, tears were already flowing out of his eyes, but he was too concentrated on explaining to himself that he completely ignored the pain on his body.
"It's not that I don't want to believe you, it's just that you have too many past records."
He stared at Lo Bing expressionlessly for a while, then took out his phone and called Lo Bing.
"Hello, Boss Luo, did Ann Qianxi visit your store last night?" Chi Shaojun asked on the other end of the phone.
"Ann Qianxi? Wait a moment... " Lo Bing was curious about why Chi Shaojun called him to ask about Ann Qianxi. Obviously, that person's contract was already in Young Master Chi's hands.
Thus, she quickly sent someone to get Manager Liu and Mo Xiaomi to ask them about Ann Qianxi.
Mo Xiaomi initially wanted to help cover this up, but when Ann Qianxi came last night, many people saw her. According to Xiao Taoxiang's personality, she would definitely expose this matter. Therefore, she could only stand to the side and didn't dare to speak, waiting to see what Manager Liu would say.
As expected, Manager Liu told him the truth about what happened with Ann Qianxi last night.
The latter was very surprised to know that Ann Qianxi was such a loyal person.
"Hello, Young Master Chi? "I just asked, my men said they didn't see Ann Qianxi last night."
Hearing that, Chi Shaojun's expression turned slightly better. It seemed like Ann Qianxi had really changed. She was no longer thinking about escaping to Di Hao like she was in the past.
When she saw Chi Shaojun calling Lo Bing, Ann Qianxi's heart sank. She didn't expect herself to give in so much, but Chi Shaojun still didn't believe her.
Originally, she had expected Chi Shaojun to be angry after knowing the truth, but now, not only did he not get angry, he even got closer, as if he was compensating for the distrust just now.
Her brain was a little muddled, she never thought that this would be the result. While she felt relieved, she was also surprised that Lo Bing chose to help her hide it.
Chi Shaojun knew that he was in the wrong, so when he brought Ann Qianxi along to eat, he always ordered dishes according to the other party's taste.
When the dishes were served, both of them felt a little uncomfortable. They never thought that Chi Shaojun would remember such a small thing so clearly.
Halfway through her meal, Ann Qianxi sneaked into the bathroom on the pretext that she wasn't feeling well.
"Hello, Xiao Mi, about Chi Shaojun's call to Boss Luo just now..."
The moment Mo Xiaomi saw Ann Qianxi's call, she knew what she wanted to ask. To be honest, not only Ann Qianxi, even she herself didn't understand Boss Luo's intentions.
"Manager Liu told Boss Luo everything that happened last night, but I'm not sure what Boss Luo meant by that." Mo Xiaomi told the truth.
"I know." Ann Qianxi was curious in her heart.
"Maybe he was afraid that Chi Shaojun would know that you were taken away by someone else at Di Hao's place. Boss Luo would definitely be held responsible if he decided to pursue the matter." Mo Xiaomi's eyes lit up as she thought of this reason. However, it was not impossible.
Ann Qianxi didn't say anything after she heard that. If it was just because of that, then she was afraid that the old cunning fox Lo Bing would threaten her in the future.
Other than this tattered leather bag, there was nothing else that could threaten her.
Thinking about what happened last night, Ann Qianxi felt a headache once again. "You have to be more careful in the future. Don't pick up any abnormal customers."
Mo Xiaomi bit her lips on the other end of the phone. How could she not know how dangerous it was last night? However, that pretty boy looked like every other customer that came to drink. Who would have thought … He was actually abnormal!
"Qianxi, last night … "Are you okay?" Mo Xiaomi hesitated, but still asked this question.
It was Ann Qianxi who saved her last night, but based on that abnormal battle formation, she definitely wouldn't have been good after being taken away.
When Ann Qianxi heard this, she couldn't help but fall into silence. She felt as if someone was holding onto her heart, making it difficult for her to bear the pain. Thus, she simply hung up the phone.
She knew Mo Xiaomi was concerned about her, but she really didn't want to remember the memories of last night's humiliation.
Mo Xiaomi was frightened by Ann Qianxi's reaction. She called a few times but didn't pick up. Thinking back to last night's situation, she couldn't help but complain about why she would pick up someone like that.
"Be careful in the future, I can't help you too much."
After sending the message, Ann Qianxi tidied up her clothes and walked out. She left for so long, if she still didn't go back, Chi Shaojun would suspect.
Ann Qianxi obviously didn't have any energy after she came back from the washroom. Chi Shaojun looked at her and wanted to remind her to eat, but the words were stuck in his throat.
He didn't want her to know about his concern.
Ann Qianxi sat in her seat in a daze during the lunch break, thinking.
Chi Shaojun finally walked over and looked at her slightly haggard face with a pair of black eyes. "If you are really tired, then go to the lounge to rest."
He was somewhat clumsy, not knowing how to speak out his concerns. He could only say that he was going to rest.
Ann Qianxi looked up at Chi Shaojun with unfocused eyes and then slowly shook her head.
Chi Shaojun also felt very upset to see Ann Qianxi like this. He didn't know what happened to her, and obviously, she had no intention of telling him.
She stood quietly beside Ann Qianxi, giving her the safest companionship.
The depths of his eyes and the gentleness of his eyes almost made Ann Qianxi lose her mind. She stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, almost making Chi Shaojun unable to breathe.
He could feel that Ann Qianxi's tears had soaked his chest. He raised his hand and patted her back comfortingly.
Suddenly, she cried even louder, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered.
Chi Shaojun was completely at a loss for what to do. He couldn't do anything about the crying Ann Qianxi from the past.
"Are you worried about Dong'er? Now that Dong'er's operation is very successful, you don't have to worry." Chi Shaojun felt that he knew the reason why Ann Qianxi was crying, so he comforted her.
"Later, if you like, I'll treat Dong'er like my own son." Chi Shaojun thought about it for a moment, then said, Now that his relationship with Ann Qianxi was better, and he liked that kid Ann Dong'er.
"That's not it," Ann Qianxi said tearfully. "I just suddenly felt tired and wanted to vent."
