Chen Xiyang pursed her lips and did not say anything, but An Hao still looked at him quietly, then said with a smile: ”I did not see your figure last night when I went out to chase you, so I also thought about a lot.”
”You told me before that you didn't want to know who that man was, and you didn't mind, but last night you suddenly said that you didn't even know who that man was. Tell me the truth, Xi Yang, did you think you knew who that man was until last night?”
Chen Xiyang looked away with a guilty conscience. He lowered his eyes and smiled, then picked up his spoon and stirred the porridge once again, ”Is that He Xigu? Ever since he started making trouble for me last night, you've been in a bad mood. ”
She smiled wryly as she spoke and raised her eyes to look at him, ”At first, I thought he had caused you trouble at work, but then I realized that you suddenly realized that the man from that night wasn't him, so you kept looking at me with a dark face and went back home to get drunk with me, right?”
”Did Xia Lan tell you?” An Hao asked softly: ”That night, the man was He Xigu, did she tell you?”
Chen Xiyang was still looking at her silently, An Hao quietly waited for his reply, and after a moment, Chen Xiyang took a deep breath: ”I did investigate.”
He then went silent for a moment before continuing, ”The dark surveillance system can't be casually used, there's no use in relying on relationships. But I still found out from the staff member that the room you slept in that night was He Xigu's private room.”
An Hao did not say anything, and only looked at him quietly. Chen Xiyang looked at her and laughed bitterly: ”But what if I know that it is him? Even if he is not my client, he is still the eldest young master of the He Clan. In the entire capital, he is the number one figure.
He somewhat vexedly slammed the table, and said self-deprecatingly: ”I clearly knew that he slept with my woman, but I was helpless. How could I tell you that I investigated this matter? I can only pretend that I don't know anything, and I don't even dare let you tell me. ”
Seeing his angry yet patient expression, An Hao's heart felt as if it was being torn apart. She understood that kind of stifling feeling, it should be the sorrow of some insignificant person like them.
She didn't know how she should console Chen Xiyang, so she only reached out her hand to hold his, and said in a low voice: ”I'm sorry.”
Chen Xiyang sneered when he saw her holding onto his hand. ”It's just that I never thought that person would be Lin Lang.”
With a tone full of ridicule, An Hao's body could not help but stiffen as he raised his eyes and looked at him blankly.
”To think that you all pretended to be unfamiliar with me.” He stared into her eyes and sneered. ”On purpose? Heh … ”For you, he actually took the initiative to call me twice. I thought he even recognized me as a friend, but who would've thought …”
An Hao did not know when Lin Lang had called him, or if it was for him, but since Chen Xiyang thought that it was nothing then, then Lin Lang should not have said anything out of line.
Just as he was in a daze, a trace of anger flashed across Chen Xiyang's face: ”And you, you obviously slept on the same bed, yet you actually asked me who he was. It's great to see me being played around by you two, isn't it? ”
An Hao was completely stunned, she had never thought that after such a long time had passed, he would once again use such harsh words to provoke her.
Her lips trembled as she tried to explain. She didn't treat him as a clown, she just didn't dare to face him, just like how he didn't dare to tell her that he had investigated this matter, nor did she dare to tell him that she was afraid of him detesting her after what happened that night and the man that left a stain on her body.
