C5

After saying that, he walked out of the ward and went to the balcony to call Shangguan Zhe, asking him to come pick him up.

After giving the address, he was assured that he would be there in ten minutes. Shen Xiran put the phone in his pocket and coincidentally met with Si Lianye, who had just returned from her inquiry.

His figure and demeanor were exactly the same as they were all those years ago. But... He would never be so infatuated again.

Shen Zimo had already started buying the supper for him. Shen Xiran thought for a while and then casually found a reason to send him away, "Then I'll go buy it. I'm hungry anyway."

"You're not coming with me?" Si Lianye directly ignored Shen Zimo, not relaxing her guard against Shen Zimo at all. It was obvious that she did not believe her words.

"Why are you going with me?" Shen Xiran looked straight into his searching eyes and said, "What are you worried about? It's late at night and we can't even get a car here. "

She raised her chin slightly, knowing that this provocation would be effective.

Si Lianye had never liked it when others saw through his thoughts. If someone was lucky enough to see through it, it would all be covered up by him.

Sure enough, Si Lianye's eyes slowly moved away, giving up on the suppression of her mind as she lightly retorted, "I didn't."

Shen Xiran did not expose him and nodded in satisfaction, "That's great."

"Aiya, Cousin, if you don't go soon Xin'er will starve to death." Shen Zimo's voice suddenly interrupted. She couldn't stand their interaction the most, so she forcefully pulled Si Lianye's attention back and pushed him towards the door. "Hurry up."

A hint of impatience flashed through Si Lianye's inky black eyes. In the end, she didn't say anything. She gave Shen Xiran a deep look and walked outside with big strides with one hand in her pocket.

In the corridor, the footsteps made by the leather shoes gradually disappeared into the distance. Shen Xiran's chest rose and fell invisibly as he slowly exhaled.

At least they had let him go.

Speaking of which, he had to thank his jealous cousin. Otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

After hearing the sound of his sports car starting up in the window, Shen Xiran acted decisively. Without a care in the world, she slung her satchel over her shoulder and reached for the door handle.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Shen Zimo suddenly stood up from the bed. His eyes looked at her in doubt, "Trying to run?"

"Run?" The door was already opened by Shen Xiran, and one of her feet stepped out of the room. When she looked back, her eyes flashed with mockery that was not a smile. "If I run away, wouldn't that be more advantageous for you?"

"This …" Shen Zimo was speechless.

Indeed, from the first time she saw Shen Xiran, she secretly hoped that she would disappear.

It was best to disappear completely without a trace.

Thinking about this, Shen Zimo gritted his teeth and pretended to be deaf and mute outside the window — — Let her go. If his cousin insisted to punish her, he would just say that he was not feeling well and couldn't stop her.

Shen Xiran achieved his goal and calmed himself down before closing the ward with a "click". She tried to ignore the panic in the empty corridor. As she walked out, she picked up the phone. "You don't have to drive in. Just wait for me at the gate."

When Si Lianye returned to the ward with two cups of lean meat porridge, she received a message like this: Shen Xiran just left two minutes ago.

"Gone?" The porridge was slammed onto the cabinet beside the bed and a few drops of it spilled out. "Where did you go?"

Shen Zimo lowered his eyelids, and his eyes flashed with malice and hatred.

She hadn't thought that that woman would occupy such an important position in her cousin's heart. All these years, although her cousin had been indifferent to her, he had never been so strict with her.

"Over there." Shen Zimo pointed in a direction reluctantly. Then, he saw a flash in front of his eyes and a shadow ran out of the ward.

Si Lianye saw Shen Xiran get into Shangguan Zhe's car as his suit jacket was blown up by the wind. Then, the car turned around quickly and left in a cloud of dust.

"Damn it!"

The snacks that Si Lianye had bought for her were stuffed into the trash can. Annoyed, she tugged at her hair.

How easy it was for him to believe her!

After burying his forehead into his hands that were icy cold from the cold wind, he finally calmed down a little. Si Lianye quickly got back in the car and started the engine, one hand on the steering wheel and the other on her Bluetooth headset.

The phone was quickly connected, and his voice returned to its usual calm and collected state. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was like a king giving orders, "Send me her phone number and address. "Right away."

"Yes." On the other end of the line, the secretary's voice sounded a little shaky.

From top to bottom, almost everyone in "Cloud Night" knew the importance of the "her" mentioned by the CEO. Five years ago, when "she" mysteriously disappeared, the CEO tried his best to find her, but to no avail.

However, the president did not give up and instead increased his efforts. As a result, she had just returned home and had fallen under their surveillance.

Now, was Division finally going to act?

Si Lianye casually pressed the button and retracted it. In less than thirty seconds, a new message appeared on the screen.

Following the navigation notification, Si Lianye finally stopped in front of the apartment. It was already one o'clock in the morning.

The room on the sixth floor was lit up by soft lights.

Fortunately, she was still there and had not escaped to a place he could not find.

Si Lianye relaxed her mind, gently leaned her head against the back of the chair, and let out a quiet sigh.

There were no other cars around, so Shangguan Zhe probably went back by himself after sending her home, and he didn't go to take a seat. In other words, the two of them hadn't acted against each other yet, so naturally, they didn't have any special relationship with each other.

Si Lianye analyzed the situation from the bottom of her heart. Somehow, she felt a sense of secret delight spreading throughout her body.

She had to admit that at the dinner party, when she saw Shangguan Zhe standing together with her, the feeling of jealousy and despair she felt rose up from all around her, almost forcing her into a dead end.

Si Lianye picked up the phone with her well-defined fingers and saved the number inside the message. After thinking for a while, she carefully typed out the number "Ran" as a comment. Then the screen stopped at the dial.

He wanted to forcefully pull her back to his side, but for some reason, she looked just like a youth that had just experienced a new level of cultivation. He would care about her opinion, and there would even be times when he was at a loss. He didn't even act like himself.

If she answered the phone, would it be in the same indifferent tone?

Si Lianye's finger hovered over the dialing icon for a moment. Just as he was hesitating, the lights on the sixth floor suddenly went out like faint fireflies.

In the end, the number didn't come out. Si Lianye gave up and just waited quietly until it was already white in the east before she drove away.
