Chapter 1284 - You Lied to Me! (1/2)
Because of Ji Wei, the dagger didn’t stab into his heart. But his arm was still injured.
His white s.h.i.+rt instantly soaked with blood.
Seeing what Qiao Yanze had done, Ji Hong was extremely shocked. After what happened to his family, this boy had become a lot more mature and strategized his actions now.
He invited Weiwei tonight and sat next to her because he knew that Weiwei would definitely do everything to prevent him from dying after he took out the dagger.
However, he still did it and injured himself.
He had already used his life to repay Weiwei’s favor to him. How could they continue to use it to kidnap him and make him marry Weiwei?
He had calculated everything!
Ji Wei stood up, waving his hands. “Since you have already decided, nothing else I say will help. Weiwei, help Yanze clean his wound and talk it out with him. I’ll leave first!”
…
In another private room.
Seeing that Cen Xi had been dazed ever since she returned from the toilets, Bai Lin asked with furrowed eyebrows. “Xiao Xi, what’s wrong?”
Cen Xi shook her head with a smile. “I’m fine, Brother Bai Lin.”
“You’re not.” Bai Lin said surely, “You have been troubled since I saw you today.”
Bai Lin’s expression darkened. “Is Young Master Qiao still troubling you for your older sister’s matters?”
Cen Xi froze for a second. “No.”
“Xiao Xi, stay far away from Young Master Qiao if you see him again. He was almost tortured to death by a drug addiction and his mother committed suicide during that period as well. There is a deep hatred hidden in his heart. Although your older sister is dead, he won’t let you off so easily.”
Cen Xi looked down, not daring to look at Bai Lin.
If Brother Bai Lin found out that she was cohabiting with Qiao Yanze and that they had slept together, he would definitely find her to be the world’s greatest fool!
Cen Xi was distracted for the entire meal.
After they were done, Cen Xi didn’t let Bai Lin send her back. She walked out of the hotel and walked forward aimlessly along the road.
…
It was nine at night.
Qiao Yanze had gone to the hospital before he returned to the villa. When the maid saw him return, she hurriedly welcomed him. “Third Young Master, you’re back.”
Qiao Yanze glanced around the living room. Usually, before he returned, Cen Xi would either be reading or watching the television in the living room on the sofa. However, the sofa was empty tonight and he couldn’t see her anywhere.
Where was she?
Following Qiao Yanze’s eyes, the maid instantly understood who he was looking for. “Miss Cen called back in the afternoon to say that she had dinner plans with a friend and wouldn’t be back for dinner.”
Qiao Yanze furrowed his eyebrows unconsciously. “What friend?”
“Miss Cen didn’t say.”
Qiao Yanze fell silent as he got up and went upstairs. He went to change before going to his study. He worked for nearly an hour in the study before he glanced at his watch.
It was nearly ten at night now.
She still wasn’t back.
Qiao Yanze took his phone and called her.
The call rang several times before she answered the call.
“Where are you?” His tone wasn’t very pleasant.
