NOVEL NEXT Chapter 31
After hearing Li Yan's words, Yu Xiaodi widened her eyes, looking at him in disbelief: "You can't be serious, right? It's almost midnight, you're going to leave me in this unknown place, regardless of my life or death, isn't that the same as not saving me? They still have accomplices, what if they come searching, you could just walk away easily, but I'd be doomed... Yan gégé... you wouldn't be that heartless, would you?"
"Call someone." Li Yan said simply: "I'm just an ordinary person, I don't want to get involved with you guys."
Yu Xiaodi helplessly opened her bag, then took out her phone, dialed a number, explained her current location, and asked her father, who was anxiously fuming, to send someone to pick her up.
"I'm being obedient, right?" Yu Xiaodi grinned again sheepishly, "You can't kick me out of the car again, at least keep me company until they arrive."
Li Yan drove the car a bit further away, parked it on the roadside, from the rearview mirror he could see the situation at the platform they just left, he stayed with her to wait. He rolled down the car window, and lit a cigarette.
Seeing that he wasn't talking, Yu Xiaodi broke the silence herself, recounting today's ordeal.
The last car accident, although it seemed like an accident, her father still didn't feel at ease about her safety. All this week, he had been keeping a close eye on her. Today, she finally caught a chance to sneak out alone, and while browsing a cosmetics boutique, she met another customer who was very charming, with an unusual eloquence and demeanor. They found common topics to discuss, got acquainted quickly, and that person said they knew of a better boutique, offering to take her there. But after getting in the car, they revealed their true colors.
It was the woman who got knocked out by the gripper. Shortly after they got in the car, a man also got in, and then they locked the car door, the man threatened her with a knife, while the woman grabbed her bag and put a prepared hood over her head, then took her to that place just now.
Seeing Li Yan engrossed in his cigarette and not interested in her story, Yu Xiaodi lost interest as well. "I understand your thinking... Rest assured, today's events, I'll keep them a secret! Even to my dad, I won't tell him either."
Li Yan thought to himself, do you think your dad is as naive as you, that he won't suspect anything if you don't tell him? He's definitely more suspicious than those other bodyguards.
"Forget it, just don't look for me again, I'll be satisfied. Nothing good happens whenever I see you!"
"Get out of the car!"
"No, I won't! Hehehe..."
Li Yan nodded towards the back, a car had just whizzed past them and now stopped in front of that platform. "Your people are here."
Yu Xiaodi looked back with a bit of disappointment, seeing Li Yan start the car, she had to gather her things and get out, standing by the car window she whispered: "Hey... I won't bother you, don't change your number, okay!"
As soon as she got out of the car, Li Yan had already started the car and left. Today, he had already done something against the rules, possibly disrupting plans, and could only try his best not to get involved with them.
...
On Saturday, Li Yan got up late again, around noon. Wen Qianyi wasn't contacting him until the afternoon or evening, so he had lunch at home.
Zhang Yurong hadn't gone out either, during lunch, she kept her usual Ice Celestial Maiden demeanor.
Li Yan was used to it, not paying much attention. Later, he noticed her gaze lingering on him several times, seemingly with resentment, which surprised him a bit. He soon realized why and said: "Oh right, I forgot to thank you, thanks for lending me the car last night."
Zhang Yurong snorted coldly, "Is that it?"
"What else?" Li Yan was confused: "Did I mess up your car?"
Keep pretending! Zhang Yurong looked at his perplexed face, and gave a faint cold smile.
She didn't expect much from Li Yan, so she wasn't disappointed. Over the past few months, though he didn't stay out all night, once or twice a week, he would return rather late from enjoying himself. She's not a little girl, she could guess what's going on.
Recalling a phone call from last week, she felt if she kept putting up with it, this man would get more and more outrageous.
