Chapter 219: Ism Outside Your House (2/2)

Ee Chen left soon after.

Xia Zhi and Xiao Mo were both befuddled as to why Xinghe let him go just like that, without any severe punishment.

Xinghe didn't go into details, she only said that the designs on Ruobing's hands are all fake so that at least brought a little relief to Xia Zhi and Xiao Mo.

However, Xinghe was still chased out of the lab. That fact was undeniable.

Without support of the lab, how could they construct the design?

Just when Xinghe was debating whether to call Mubai for help, her phone rang. It was from her ex-husband.

Xinghe hesitated for a moment before picking it up, ”Hello.”

”I'm outside your house, come out for a moment,” he said before immediately hanging up.

Xinghe closed her mobile and walked to her front door.

She looked out the window. Night had fallen…

Mubai stood by the side of his car. Over his usual white formal shirt, he threw on a simple black coat for warmth. He had his hands in his pockets and he was looking up at the sky as if he was studying the constellation.

The lanterns around Purple Jade Villas were on for the night and the bright lights reflected the ones twinkling in the sky.

The night, the stars, the man and the atmosphere, the romantic scene was set.

Xinghe stepped out of the door and Mubai turned from her footsteps.

Like in many romantic dramas, their eyes met…

In that brief moment of eye contact, Xinghe saw many complicated emotions that swirled in his eyes.

She looked away and asked, ”Why did you call for me?”

”Why you didn't come to me when something huge like this has happened?” Mubai asked in return.
