Chapter 1284 - You Lied to Me! (2/2)

“I’m at your office building.”

“Why are you there?” He suddenly remembered that he had told her he was working when she sent him a message earlier.

He hung up and took his jacket, before rus.h.i.+ng out of the villa.

Half an hour later, he arrived at his office building.

He immediately saw the slender figure crouching by the building’s marble pillar.

Qiao Yanze pressed the honk.

Hearing the sound, Cen Xi slowly looked up and glanced at the man who was sitting in the car with a dark expression. She stood up and walked towards him.

Qiao Yanze said coldly, “Get on.”

So Cen Xi got on the front pa.s.senger seat.

He drove them back to the villa. However, none of them spoke on the way back.

Finally, the car arrived in front of the villa. Qiao Yanze didn’t unlock the door in a hurry and glanced at the woman who hadn’t looked at him ever since she got into the car. He undid his seatbelt and pulled her face over.

He didn’t say anything as his well-defined fingers pinched her cheeks, his lips leaning towards hers.

However, before he touched her, she turned away and his kiss landed on her cheek.

He narrowed his dark eyes as he tightened his grip on her cheeks, before moving to kiss her again.

A loud slap echoed through the car.

She had slapped him.

Caught by surprise, he couldn’t avoid it and his handsome cheek received the full slap.

His expression was terribly dark and the atmosphere in the car turned cold and frozen.

They stared at each other for the next few seconds, before he spoke, “Are you crazy?”

Cen Xi stared into his dark, wormhole-like eyes. She closed her eyes and opened them once again, her expression cold. “I’m not crazy. Instead, you weren’t working overtime. Why did you lie to me?”

“Is it just because of this?” Qiao Yanze sat up straight and took out a cigarette and match from the storage compartment. He lit the cigarette and smoked slowly, his expression dark. “I came home after working overtime. Isn’t it normal that you didn’t see me?”

Cen Xi stared at the man’s handsome face, which was covered by the white smoke. She felt extremely complicated. “When I messaged you, I was at XX Hotel.”

Qiao Yanze froze and suddenly, he narrowed his eyes at Cen Xi.

“I b.u.mped into Zhou s.h.i.+yu. She said that you were eating with the Ji family to discuss your marriage matters.”

Qiao Yanze’s expression turned darker. After a moment of silence, he finally said, “I rejected them.”

“You didn’t come back or reply to my message last night because you were thinking about this, right?” Cen Xi’s hands in front of her were clasped tightly together. All sorts of emotions surged within her as her eyes teared up. “You can marry any woman in the world, but it will never be me, right?”

Qiao Yanze stared at Cen Xi’s face. A smirk that she couldn’t comprehend appeared on his face. “Aren’t you thinking too far?”

Yes, Cen Xi knew she was thinking too far and that she was thinking too much. However, women who had fallen hard were like that. After sleeping with him, she wanted to confirm their relations.h.i.+p. After confirming their relations.h.i.+p, she wanted to become his one and only.

However, she knew very well that she would never be his one and only, but she still couldn’t stop herself. That was why she acted stupid in front of him and asked him a question that she knew he would hate.

“You were in the hotel and sent me that message on purpose to get information out of me. You’re quite cunning. Indeed, you’re Xiao Ying’s younger sister.” At the mention of Xiao Ying, hatred flashed in his eyes.

Cen Xi’s heart panged in pain. She knew the obstructions and estrangements between them. She knew. If none of them talked about the past, they might be able to continue whatever they had peacefully. But how could they never talk about it?

The moment they did, someone would be hurt.

None of them would be fine.

Cen Xi swallowed dryly as her collarbones sunk in. She looked extremely pretty as her long lashes cast a dark shadow on her face, before she said coldly, “Yes. I am Xiao Ying’s younger sister. Just with this, you can condemn me to death anytime.”
