Chapter 189 - Calling Her to Count (2/2)

Who had truly won the game? She or Ye Yifan?

Her mind seemed about to break down, when suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Tang Xia was stunned. Who would visit her, at this point?

She picked up all the clothes that were strewn on the ground, and threw them into the laundry basket. When she turned back and opened the door, she saw Ye Yifan.

“Why are you here?”

This was something that Tang Xia had not expected. Why would Ye Yifan come here?

“So? Aren’t you going to let me in and have a seat?”

Tang Xia was surprised. Indeed, they had been standing at the door for too long. As she recovered from her surprise, she suppressed her curiosity and let him in.

Tang Xia closed the door, went to the kitchen, and poured a cup of coffee for him. When she came back, she found him looking around her room. When he saw that Tang Xia was back, he smiled and said, “So this is what a girl’s room looks like.”

Tang Xia felt a little embarrassed, instantly, “Is it that messy?”

Ye Yifan shook his head. “No, no. It’s clean and lovely.”

He cast his eyes over Tang Xia, “Are.. are we going to keep standing here?”

Tang Xia had not realized this till now. She walked over to the couch, sat down and passed the coffee to him.

“How do you know I like coffee?” Ye Yifan took a sip.

Tang Xia was stunned. She did not know that. She had made coffee for him, because she assumed all boys always liked it.

“What are you here for?”

Tang Xia asked him in bewilderment. Ye Yifan raised his eyebrows.

“Can’t I come over, even if I have nothing on?”

Tang Xia was at a loss for words. Then, she waved her hands and said,

“Yes, yes. I was just too curious.”

Upon seeing her anxious look, Ye Yifan could not stop smiling. Compared with Tang Xia’s listless look, which he had seen when he had just walked in, this look was much better.

“Why did you come back so early today?”

Ye Yifan put down the coffee. The smile in his eyes was gone, replaced by a vague seriousness.

Tang Xia was shocked. Apparently, she did not expect that he would ask her such a question. Ye Yifan frowned when he saw her becoming depressed almost instantly, but he kept quiet.

“I was just tired. That’s all.”

“Physically or mentally?” Ye Yifan wanted ask, but he restrained himself.

“I heard that you hit Li Xianxian today?”

Tang Xia’s depressed heart, skipped a beat. “Humph, so he is here to stand up for Li Xianxian.”

She knew that she should not be bothered about this, since the woman he loved was Li Xianxian. However, when she recalled the sentence he had said to her in the game——”Let me be your knight in this game”——she felt aggrieved instantly.

Tang Xia felt upset, though she did not know why. She dropped her eyes, drank a mouthful of the soda water and said, “Yes.”

On seeing Tang Xia becoming even more depressed at the moment, Ye Yifan held his cup tightly. As he was about to say something, Tang Xia suddenly raised her head. She smiled and asked, “So? Are you here to lecture me?”

Ye Yifan fell silent suddenly. Although he saw Tang Xia smile, he could perceive the depression deep within her eyes.

“No.”

Tang Xia was surprised because she had not thought that Ye Yifan would deny it. She recalled that two days ago, she had seen him and Li Xianxian, walking together and passing by her, in the hall. She kept quiet, not knowing what to say. Was he comforting her? Or was he purposely telling her a lie?

Why would he give her hope each time she felt in despair? She did not know whether she should hate him or not. All in all, she was annoyed by his attitude; she could not tell what it was that he wanted, or what he did not like.

She was not sure whether he knew that she had been in love with him. Maybe he kept her waiting because he had known about it, and because of this, he kept provoking her, deliberately.

As Tang Xia’s thoughts wandered, Ye Yifan said suddenly,

“Li Xianxian has turned our company upside down.”

Tang Xia fell silent at once. She did not know what she should say. Li Xianxian was so haughty and domineering, and always relied on her beauty. Tang Xia could imagine what she had done, and how she had messed up the company.

She knew that Li Xianxian’s fans had been cursing her for being a coquette, because they believed that she had come between Ye Yifan and Li Xianxian. Their relationship was something that “everyone looked forward to”. “Everyone looked forward to”… Recalling the expression Li Xianxian’s fans used, she could not help laughing.

She did not know whether they were from the navy. Anyway, the words sounded rather funny when used in this condition. However, this was not something she cared about.

“Don’t you feel upset since you lost the game?”
