C196 (1/2)

Xiao Yu could hear the abnormality in Ye Yanxi's voice and was about to say something else, but then his eyes lit up with a hint of ridicule.

”What's the matter with you?”

When Xiao Yu asked this question, Ye Yan Xi suddenly became nervous. Her hand was full of sweat, and her hand holding her phone was a little slippery. She almost couldn't hold her phone, and it took a long time before she managed to stammer, ”No …” ”It's nothing.”

”Why do I feel like you're very nervous?” Xiao Yu deliberately asked in a serious tone, ”Tell me, what happened over there?”

”No, nothing happened.” Ye Yan Xi tried her best to reply with a casual tone, she paused for a moment and said, ”Stop making wild guesses, what can happen to me?”

”Then where are you now?”

”Didn't you just say that I'm back?”

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, ”Are you really at home? Where else did you go?”

”Why would I go out so late at night?” Ye Yan Xi smiled as gently as she could.

”Since you were at home and nothing happened, why were you so nervous? ”It can't be …” Xiao Yu purposefully said half of the sentence in a long tone. Ye Yan Xi, who was holding the phone, could feel that Xiao Yu was squinting his eyes. He didn't know what to do, so his heart couldn't help but thump loudly, ”Did you do something shameful?”

”How could that be?” Ye Yanxi raised her voice to refute, as if her tail was stepped on.

”Your voice has already told me everything. Speak up, and be honest with me.” Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask patiently: ”What did you do wrong?”

Ye Yan Xi let out a soft humph and placed the book on the table. Her eyes swept across the pages, and she saw that the photo was stuck between the pages.

After hesitating for a while, Ye Yan Xi decided not to ask Xiao Yu about this, at least for now was not the right time.

”Why don't you think you did something wrong?” Ye Yanxi didn't want to continue discussing this topic, so she changed the topic. Listening to Xiao Yu's words, it seemed as if it was very quiet.

”Your party over there has ended?”

”Yeah, I was just about to head back.”

”Oh.”

The phone went silent for a moment. Xiao Yu sat in the car and looked at the barbecued food on the street outside the window. His eyebrows couldn't help but furrow as he asked, ”What else do you want to eat?”

”What is it?”

Xiao Yu's voice seemed to carry a hint of reluctance as he calmly said, ”There seems to be a barbeque stall outside.”

If it was before, when Xiao Yu asked this question, Ye Yanxi would definitely ask him to bring back some grilled fish or something like that, even if he despised her.

But now, because of what had happened earlier, she had suddenly lost all interest.

”No need, Dad and I are having dinner outside. We've had our fill, and we don't want anything to eat at this time.”

This was just the right time. Ye Yan Xi didn't want to eat it, so he didn't bother to go to the barbecue stall and stood there. He then picked up a pile of greasy barbecue meat and said, ”Okay, you wait at home obediently. I'll be there shortly.”

”Wait...” Ye Yan Xi was still a bit unwilling to accept this. He wanted to ask Xiao Yu about that photo, but hesitated for a long time before saying anything.

Xiao Yu nodded and then asked, ”Is there something else?”

After being asked in such a serious manner, Ye Yanxi immediately lost her courage. In the end, she could only unwillingly say, ”It's okay, you have to be careful on the way.”

After hanging up, Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze from outside the window. Ye Yanxi had been very strange tonight, and every time he tried to cover it up, he would say that he was fine.

Now that she was at home, there shouldn't be any problems. Anyway, she felt that something was very wrong.

Lifting his head, Xiao Yu instructed Xu Bei to drive the car.

In the darkness of the night, the black banquets blended into the rolling traffic.

The street lights flickered, reflecting Xiao Yu's handsome and icy face. Xu Bei, who was in the driver's seat, occasionally glanced at Xiao Yu from the rearview mirror.

That kind of situation lasted for more than ten minutes.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu raised his head. His black pupils were like bottomless chasm as they stared fixedly at Xu Bei's eyes in the rearview mirror.

Just as he was about to raise his head to look at Xiao Yu, he was caught off guard and met Xiao Yu's icy gaze. When he was about to raise his head to look at Xiao Yu, he was caught off guard and met Xiao Yu's cold gaze.

”Xu Bei, do you have something to say?” Xiao Yu lazily spoke, his voice tinged with a trace of exhaustion.

Even so, Xu Bei still felt a cold aura coming from behind him. It was like a typhoon had passed, causing him to shiver.

He shook it a little and immediately pulled away with a smile. ”No …” ”No.”

”If you have something to say, just say it.” Xiao Yu's voice was a bit lower and his tone was commanding.

Well, that's what you asked me to say.
