Chapter 220: No Contact

There was no reproach in his question, if anything, Xinghe could hear layers of concern.

”You mean the thing where I was chased out of the lab?”

”Yes, didn't I tell you to come to me if anything happens?”

Obviously she didn't, because he heard this from someone else.

To his credit, he rushed back from his outstation meeting overseas the moment he heard wind of this.

He had business meetings planned for the rest of the week but he bought an immediate ticket and flew back, abandoning them all.

Xinghe admitted flatly, ”I was just considering contacting you.”

He happened to be faster than she imagined.

Mubai gave a wide grin and suddenly pulled on her arm, saying, ”Come on, get in. We'll find some place more comfortable to talk this over.”

Xinghe stood her ground. ”This place is as good as any.”

She tried to pull her arm back on reflex but that only made Mubai hold on to her tighter. ”But I just came down from the plane. I haven't had anything since morning, so please let us discuss this over dinner.”

”…”

Xinghe pulled her arm back with more force this time. She said calmly, ”Even so, there's no need to get physical.”

After that, she climbed into his car without making a fuss. Mubai smiled wordlessly, a bright smile that lit up his face.

After he got in, he asked Xinghe, ”So, what type of cuisine are you in the mood for?”

”It's your dinner.” Not mine.

”I don't mind, we'll have what you're in the mood for.”

”I'm in the mood to get this over with, so let's skip dinner.”

Mubai was silent before telling his driver, ”Go to the nearest restaurant.”
