Chapter 161 Chu Tiankuo Disappeared (2/2)

Jiang Yuecheng frowned and said, ”It is just cooking. Mom can do it, too. Go to the party if you want to.”

Tang Xia froze for a while. ”Is this the life that Zhou Linlin used to enjoy?”

As she thought so, she smiled and said, ”You are so kind to me, sweetheart!”

Jiang Yuecheng felt quite satisfied with her words.

The next day, Tang Xia arrived at the cafe early. Unexpectedly, Chu Tiankuo was already sitting there waiting for her.

After she sat in front of him, she ordered a glass of hot milk when asked what she wanted.

Undoubtedly, her behavior was ridiculed by Chu Tiankuo. After looking her up and down, Chu Tiankuo said, ”The dress you're wearing today is like a nightgown. What's more, you just ordered a glass of hot milk. Do you need the waiter to offer you a pillow?”

Tang Xia looked down at her floral skirt and darted an angry look at him. ”He is still so sharp-tongued!”

Chu Tiankuo looked at the pretty woman in front of him with a smile and thought, ”We are destined to be together.

”I have witnessed her in an embarrassing condition several times. Although I regard her cry as ugly, I cannot help giving her a hand every time she is in trouble. I am not sure how I feel about her now.”

But Chu Tiankuo was quite aware of one thing—he did not like it when Tang Xia could determine another's fate easily in order to complete her task, which made him imagine that he would be like a marionette if that thing were to happen to him. It was hard for the arrogant Chu Tiankuo to accept such a thing.

At this moment, the waiter arrived with a glass of hot milk for Tang Xia. She smiled at the waiter and started to stir the milk with a spoon.

As Chu Tiankuo was just thinking about Tang Xia easily determining another's fate, he felt quite uncomfortable to see her acting rather leisurely. So he could not help asking her, ”Do you feel quite complacent now?”

Before she could tell him that the milk of this cafe tasted good, Tang Xia found that he had a terrible look on his face. So she stopped stirring the milk and asked, ”What do you want to say?”

Chu Tiankuo asked in a quite direct way, ”I'm asking you how you feel after you forced Zhou Linlin to leave this city.”

It was not until this moment that Tang Xia realized Chu Tiankuo was satirizing her, which made her feel aggrieved. Tang Xia did not think that she had done the wrong thing as Zhou Linlin needed a lesson whether she belonged to the world or not.

Besides, she felt quite humiliated when Zhou Linlin and Jiang Yuecheng mocked her together.

Thinking about all this, Tang Xia looked Chu Tiankuo in the eye and said, ”She deserves it!”

It never occurred to Chu Tiankuo that she would give him such an answer, which made him put on an angry face immediately.

Then he thought, ”So does she regard me as a small potato in her task as well?”

It was hard for him to accept the result.

Although Tang Xia had noticed that Chu Tiankuo wore an angry face, she did not feel like talking to him as he had satirized her. She thought that Chu Tiankuo would break the ice soon. However, he did not.

So she started to stir the milk again to vent her anger and the sound of the spoon hitting against the glass was quite ear-piercing.

At this moment, Chu Tiankuo said, ”So you think that it is not important whether she is Zhou Linlin or Zhao Linlin as it is just a task for you, right?”

After hearing his words, she stopped stirring the milk. As she did not know why Chu Tiankuo asked this question, she had no idea what she should say in response for a moment.

But Chu Tiankuo regarded her silence as acquiescence. So he stood up disappointedly and asked, ”So do you regard me just as dispensable as Zhou Linlin, who you forced to leave the city?”

Tang Xia kept her mouth wide open due to her astonishment of his words. But before she could answer, Chu Tiankuo turned away.

An inexplicable confusion descended on her mind. She felt quite annoyed for not answering his question quickly and then ran after him. But she was stopped by the waiter after a few steps.

She took a hundred dollar bill out of her wallet and ran out hastily before getting the change.

After looking around in confusion, Tang Xia did not find Chu Tiankuo. So she took out her cellphone with a trembling hand to make a call to Chu Tiankuo. However, what she got was just a female voice indicating that the subscriber she dialed was not in service.

Tang Xia became more and more flustered and took a taxi hastily to Chu Tiankuo's company.

She thought the best way to find the workaholic Chu Tiankuo would be in his company.

She approached the front desk and asked the receptionist, ”Hello, I need to meet your boss, Mr. Chu Tiankuo. Please let him know that.”

But that receptionist gave her a subtle look. ”You must be looking in the wrong place. Our boss's last name is not Chu.”

As she had noticed that Tang Xia wore a terrible face, the receptionist thought that she did not believe her. So she pointed at the large billboard-poster aside and said, ”Look, the man on that is our boss. He is not the Mr. Chu you are talking about, right?”

Tang Xia looked at the billboard-poster and found that it really was not Chu Tiankuo.

She became so flustered that her mind went blank.

So, did Chu Tiankuo disappear?
