Chapter 164 Lil Xi Is Back (1/2)
Shen III had been sending people to keep an eye on Lil Xi and Shanshan, but Shanshan actually had no reaction; she just signed documents and held meetings every day. Lil Xi kept a straight face every day and he could occasionally hear him swearing, but no one knew who he had been cursing.
”I clearly saw him enter the house last night and not come out, but I found that only the woman was left in the morning.” Shen III said cautiously, ”The airlines have no record of booking over there...”
A Miao recoiled her neck. She obviously felt that the men around her were angry; very angry.
”He could have erased the record.” Shen Xinglan's eyes were gloomy, and coldness was produced.
”Then now...”
Shen III regretted it so much; he knew he should have tied himself to Lil Xi.
”Notify everyone and tell him the truth as soon as you find him.” Shen Xinglan looked at A Miao, who was trying to sneak back to her room, and then said, ”Bring that woman back.”
”A Miao.”
One of A Miao's legs striding toward the door stopped in midair. ”Eh?” She twisted her neck and turned around. ”I... I see you have something...”
”Lil Xi is out of control. I think he must be running back home.” Shen Xinglan looked at her and said, ”From now on, you will not leave me for a moment.”
The faces of Shen I and Shen II changed when they heard the news.
”The bodyguard that Boss asked you to find hasn't arrived yet?”
”She will come in a few days.” Shen I spun around twice. He had searched all around several times and finally fixed on her location, but she was receiving training in the mountains and could not be contacted, so he had to wait for her to return.
Shen II's cell phone rang. He glanced at it and immediately answered. ”Boss!”
”Yes, I see.”
”Okay.”
Shen I waited for him to hang up the phone before he asked, ”What did Boss say?”
”To find a way to contact Lil Xi—email, cell phone, anything—and send him the message that Shanshan is a fake.”
In this way, maybe the line of Shanshan would be broken... The two men looked at each other.
”Shit!” Shen I couldn't help swearing. ”I knew I should have exposed her.”
As Shen II was busy arranging manpower, he shot him a glare. ”What's the use of saying these things now? Go and pick up Boss as soon as possible. He will take the young lady back to the villa.”
”Sorry!”
Half an hour ago, A Miao packed her luggage and got in the car. Knowing the potential danger of Lil Xi, she did not say a word. She listened to the words of Shen Xinglan and had no reaction.
”If I hadn't wanted to keep Shanshan to dig out the people behind her, I wouldn't have left this present danger.” Shen Xinglan sat opposite and looked at her. ”I always said I'd protect you, but if it weren't for me, you would never be in danger...”
A Miao's heart turned a thousand and her eyes wandered, as if she had stood by this man bravely and strongly and told herself to face everything with him, but then she shrank back.
”It's not your fault.” She whispered that if it weren't for Shanshan, she wouldn't have chosen to escape.
It was not that she didn't love Shen Xinglan enough, but she could not accept to sacrifice her love and courage for another person.
”It was my fault.” Shen Xinglan suddenly knelt on one knee and held her hand. ”If I hadn't been so conceited and thought everything was under control, things would not have happened four years ago.”
A Miao drew back from his hand, but failed...
”I don't blame you, but I don't know how to face it.” She thought for a moment, thinking of the text messages on her cell phone, and decided to speak her mind.
Shen Xinglan's eyes were full of cautious and happy feelings. ”I understand, so I want to say sorry to you.”
”Not because of the past.” He saw A Miao open her mouth to start speaking, so he said quickly, ”It's because I know it's not safe. But I'm going to keep you by my side later. A Miao... ”
He looked at her and said, ”Don't leave me. I will try my best to protect you. No matter what happens, I just want you to be with me.”
”You...” A Miao's heart quivered with her eyes focused. She looked at her reflection in Shen Xinglan's eyes, as if she was the only one left in the world. He could not see anything except her.
”Even if I leave you now, those people will not let me go.”
Staring blankly for quite a while, Shen Xinglan was nervous to think that A Miao still wanted to leave him. He heard a sound which was soft as if she was complaining in a spoiled tone. Almost at the same time, he felt like his chest was about to burst.
”A Miao!” He flung her into his arms.
”Ah...” A Miao reached out and pushed him, but pushed him into her seat. The two of them got closer.
Shen Xinglan hugged her tightly. ”Don't move, let me hug you, just hug you!”
”No.” A Miao's face darkened and she did not look at him.
”Can you hear my heartbeat?” He buried his face on her shoulder. ”It's going to jump out.”
A Miao tried to make herself ignore the vibration in her chest. Shen Xinglan's heartbeat made it seem like his heart was beating faster and faster, just like to resonate with him in order to keep up with his rhythm.
”Then... then go to the hospital quickly, or what could we do about it jumping out?”
Then she buried her face in her hands and felt very stupid.
”Haha...”
There was a man's low laughter in her ears. Shen Xinglan looked up and saw that her little ears were stained with a layer of light red. He felt his lower abdomen begin to heat up.
”That's a deal. I'll leave you in the villa for a while.” Although he would like to put A Miao under him, he knew he could not hurry. It was hard for the little woman's heart to loosen up a little bit, so he could not scare it back.
As a result, A Miao was taken back to the villa in a daze. When she finally reacted, she saw that Shen I was leading many people to knock on the window.
