Chapter 191 - A "Redundant" Explanation (1/2)

Chapter 191 A “Redundant” ExplanationLi Xianxian froze instantly, while Tang Xia was amazed. She looked at the man behind her and saw his face deepen in anger. It was like an abyss, and one could just fall accidentally into it.

She had never seen Ye Yifan so angry before. Even when they had been in the villa, when Chu Tiankuo had threatened him, she had not seen him like this. Li Xianxian stood upright and dared not move. She was afraid that a storm might blow over her, once she looked back.

They kept quiet. Tang Xia did not say anything. Actually, she was a little amazed because notables like Ye Yifan did not have to come to the company, if they were not doing any broadcasting.

Therefore, he rarely made an appearance in the company. But Tang Xia wondered why he showed up now. He was speaking for her, which made her somewhat puzzled and delighted, though she did not show these feelings on her face.

However, neither Tang Xia and Li Xianxian realized that he was planning to meet Tang Xia, due to the microblog. He wanted to see what Tang Xia’s reaction was and confirm if he had dealt with it correctly, or if there was any other salutary effect.

When he arrived at the company, he saw Li Xianxian trailing Tang Xia, which was quite unusual. He thought it strange, and followed them instantly.

It was fortunate that he followed them. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble, the little princess Li Xianxian would have caused.

Li Xianxian was angry because it felt as if Ye Yifan had burned two holes in her back, using his eyes. She secretly clenched her fists, took a deep breath, turned back swiftly and rushed into Ye Yifan’s arms.

“Yi Fan! I did not do that!”

Ye Yifan frowned and did not move. However, Li Xianxian could sense that his eyes were boring into hers. Her arms holding on to Ye Yifan froze, and she did not know what to do.

It seemed that she had irritated Ye Yifan this time. The instant she was sure about this, she finally realized how serious it was. She looked up at Ye Yifan, trembling, only to find him looking at her, without any expression, on his face.

“What should she do? What should she do? She did not believe that Ye Yifan would really get angry with her! Just because he was…

“Oh, Yifan, my mother is inviting you for dinner at our house.”

Ye Yifan was stunned. His original icy demeanor cracked. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts, and Li Xianxian let out a sigh of relief.

She guessed that Ye Yifan would not refuse her mother’s invitation. Even if her mother had not invited him to have dinner together, she would call her mother and tell her that Ye Yifan was coming to have dinner with her!

Tang Xia looked at Ye Yifan blankly,”Why would Li Xianxian invite him to have dinner at her house?” “Why? Did Li Xianxian’s parents wish to meet him?”

What mattered most was that Ye Yifan did not decline that invitation at once. On the contrary, he was pondering over it. “Did this mean that they had been in a romantic relationship? And was it time for them to meet each other’s parents?”

It was not Tang Xia’s fault that she had such thoughts. Their words sounded too incredible. Even a passer-by would not believe that they were not in a relationship.

“Look, Ye Yifan even seemed to be used to such intimate acts from Li Xianxian.”

Ye Yifan kept quiet. Suddenly, he looked up at Tang Xia, who was amazed by his gaze. Then he turned to Li Xianxian and said, “OK.”

Li Xianxian’s heart had been in her mouth, while she waited for Ye Yifan’s answer. When she heard Ye Yifan saying “Ok”, she felt relieved. It was as if a huge stone had been removed from her heart. But she still could not help looking at Ye Yifan, doubtfully.

Previously he used to accept instantly, when she told him that her mother was the one who wanted him to come for dinner. However, this time he kept quiet, for a long time. Furthermore, she noticed him looking at Tang Xia just now. Was she thinking too much?

Maybe. After all, she had made great efforts to cultivate her relationship with Ye Yifan and hopefully, it had not been in vain.

When she thought of this, she felt the anxiety in her heart, disappear. She looked at Ye Yifan joyfully and said, “Then don’t forget to pick me up when I get off work!”

Ye Yifan nodded slightly. Li Xianxian was now like a proud peacock, who twisted her head and stretched her neck, as she glanced at Tang Xia, arrogantly. She smiled sarcastically at her.

It seemed that she was laughing at Tang Xia, for her overestimation about her own strength, as a fresh anchor.

Tang Xia stared at Li Xianxian in silence, while the latter sneered, and left.

Tang Xia felt as a heavy stone that had been placed upon her heart, had been instantly removed, just like the one that had been in Li Xianxian’s heart. She looked at Ye Yifan silently and expectantly.

But she was very clear in her mind that she should not have looked forward to anything. She should have turned away, but her feet felt as heavy as lead, and she could not move them.

“What was she doing? Was she expecting him to say something to her?

Unexpectedly, Ye Yifan slowly walked over to her, and stopped at her side. Rose with her precious cellphone in her hands, was surprised because she had not expected that Ye Yifan would stay on, approach and gaze at Tang Xia. “What is going on?”

“He has just promised Li Xianxian to have dinner at her house, but now he is gazing at Tang Xia.”

“Li Xianxian’s family and mine are old family friends.”

Tang Xia was stunned. What did he mean? Was he giving her an explanation? It felt as if what she had looked forward to, had come true. Her muscles refused to budge earlier, because they seemed to have been waiting for his explanation.

Upon seeing Tang Xia seemingly frozen in place, not making any movement or expression, Ye Yifan seemed a bit uneasy.

“Li Xianxian and I have known each other since we were young. So…”

Tang Xia could not restrain herself any longer. Her face flushed instantly and she felt hot. Thus, she rushed away, covering her face.

Ye Yifan was stunned. He had not expected that she would rush away. Luckily, he had seen her blush just now, or he would have thought that Tang Xia did not want to see him anymore. As he looked at her fading shadow, his lips curved subconsciously.

Tang Xia slammed the door of the office, then leaned against the door. She felt her limp body sliding downward, and let out a long breath. Alas, it had been so close. She had almost made a fool of herself!
