“It’s been such a long time, almost ten years, right?” “More or less.” Unexpectedly meeting a classmate from her student days, Xinluo laughed happily. “You’ve become beautiful, quite different from my memory. I wasn’t even sure it was you just now.” Praising her intelligence might not bother her, but praising her beauty, Xinluo instinctively felt it was just a polite remark. “Thank you. Is your company nearby?” “No, my company is not here. I’m here to…” His hand, originally pointing towards the five-star hotel next door, paused, and Bai Chenghai laughed awkwardly. “I’m just passing by.” He absolutely couldn’t say the truth, not under any circumstances! Saying it would cause trouble. “Is that so?” Even the slowest person could see his unnatural expression. Xinluo didn’t mind, intuitively sensing he had something unspeakable. “Qi Talented Lady… Sorry, I’m used to calling you that. Is your company nearby?” Bai Chenghai quickly changed the subject. Was she overthinking? She felt there was something odd about his words. They weren’t even close, so how could he be used to calling her Qi Talented Lady? “Just call me Xinluo!” She smiled, with a unique intellectual radiance typical of modern women. “My company isn’t nearby either. I’m here today for a meeting with the general manager.” “Hmm, that’s good… that’s good…” Bai Chenghai nodded quickly in agreement. “Your reaction is really strange. Isn’t it okay for a company to be here?”
“It’s not bad either…” Frowning, Bo Chenghai was about to find an excuse to brush it off when he caught a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, walking with a young and beautiful woman. “Qi… Xinluo…” Originally wanting to divert her attention, his voice calling her name gradually weakened, and Bo Chenghai believed she had seen it too.
What a coincidence! He “happened” to meet her here; she “happened” to see Xia Erxi and that woman walking into the restaurant… It’s true that nothing is more coincidental than this! Her face instantly turned pale and ugly, Xinluo bit her lip hard and forcefully withdrew her gaze.
“Uh… are you okay? Actually, they… uh…” Bo Chenghai saw her entire reaction, wishing he could pretend not to know, but he knew better than anyone.
“They?” This time, Xinluo precisely caught his slip of the tongue.
“Just Erxi and…”
“You know?” She raised her eyes in surprise, her voice low and no longer light-hearted.
He knew about her and Xia Erxi? “Me?” Originally not wanting to get involved in this muddy water, yet inevitably drawn in, “Of course I know, because I’m Erxi’s confidant.” He sighed, having to admit.
To be honest, he was reluctant too!
“So you know everything about what happened between him and me?” She frowned, asking.
“Yes.”
“Is that woman his new love?” Xinluo’s tone was calm, and it would be hard for outsiders to detect the pain she was suppressing.
She had seen her before, a well-known female movie star, with a melon seed-shaped face and large eyes, exactly the type Summer Xi most appreciated. How quickly, before he had even resolved the situation with Lan Zhenyun, another popular female star appeared, his love life always colorful, leaving no room for her intervention. It had never been… “…She, actually not…” On this crisp and comfortable autumn day, Bo Chenghai inexplicably broke out in a cold sweat. Summer Xi had countless women around him, coming and going, and if the truth were to be explained, she might not even believe it! “Forget it, I don’t want to ask, you don’t need to worry, I’m very clear about the rules between us,” Xinluo took in his stiff expression, saying with a stubborn look: “I won’t be too surprised.” “Xinluo—” The facts were not what she thought… but that’s a long story! “…” Unable to help but glance again at the luxurious hotel building: Xinluo remained silent, as maintaining a calm appearance had already exhausted her. “Xiao Hai, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.” Taking a light breath, Xinluo brushed past him. www. lyt99. cn www. lyt99. cn www. lyt99. cn “CEO… Xi,” after changing his words under a sharp gaze, Bo Chenghai sat down by the bar, first ordering a martini for himself. “You won’t believe who I just met?” “Who did you meet?”
“Guess! It’s quite challenging!” “…Chairman Wang? Supervisor Chen?” Seeing Bai Chenhai continuously shaking his head, Xia’er Xi raised her eyebrows with great interest, “You tell me! If I can’t guess, did you run into someone’s mistress again?” “You’re half right, strictly speaking, it is a mistress.” “You’re really something, running into mistresses wherever you go.” “Hmm, and this mistress is actually yours.” Bai Chenhai replied coolly, nodding firmly. “What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t have a mistress!” Frowning, Xia’er Xi rebuked. “The only one you’ve never been willing to make public!” “Who exactly did you meet?” He had only one girlfriend who wasn’t publicly known – and it was at her own request! “I met the talented Qi.” Slowly, Bai Chenhai turned back with a watching-the-show expression. “…” In an instant, Xia’er Xi’s expression became rigidly stiff. “Here?” “What’s wrong with here?” “This is a hotel.” He stated coldly. Why would a single woman come here for no reason? “But you’re here too!” Bai Chenhai raised an eyebrow. “I’m here on business, don’t mix things up.” “Maybe she’s here on business too, with her general manager…” “General manager? Gao Yizhe?”
“Hearing these three words, Xia Er Xi’s face turned even more gloomy and unsightly. The appearance of Gao Yi Zhe and Xin Luo looking like a perfect couple was still deeply and uncomfortably etched in Xia Er Xi’s heart. Now they’re actually entering the restaurant together? ‘Stop it,’ seeing him truly change his expression, Bai Cheng Hai finally decided to tell the truth, lest he become the headline victim of the social news. ‘I just ran into her across the street. She saw you and Xiao Wan enter together.’ ‘Me and Xiao Wan?’ How coincidental! ‘Yes, she looked very open-minded and didn’t even give me a chance to explain,’ Bai Cheng Hai looked helpless. He wanted to speak up for Xia Er Xi, but she didn’t want to listen. ‘I know, she has always been open-minded,’ his black eyes narrowing slightly, Xia Er Xi’s tone couldn’t help but be sarcastic. When was she not open-minded? ‘This is not good.’ Giving him a cold glance, Xia Er Xi snorted lightly. He naturally knew it wasn’t good, but who was the real culprit? ‘By the way, where’s Xiao Wan?’ Bai Cheng Hai asked, casually taking the Martini handed over by the bartender. ‘Went u
」 Not knowing whether he was angry because of being misunderstood or unhappy because of Xinluo’s indifferent attitude, Xia’erxi felt a stuffy feeling in his chest that was very uncomfortable. 「How would I know I would be seen by Xinluo? This is not my fault, but speaking of which…」 Bai Chenghai suddenly turned back and gave him a heavy blow. 「It’s you who made Xinluo feel distrustful! 」 Whispers from 《The CEO Wants to Play a Game》 Chapter Four
Not knowing how many times the phone had rung, Xinluo decided to completely ignore and not listen. She curled up on the sofa hugging a cushion, letting her mind go blank.
She hadn’t sorted out her emotions yet, so she didn’t want to hear Xia’erxi’s voice right now. She was afraid that the first sentence would ask whether that woman was his new love again. Because she didn’t want to be a jealous woman, she chose to avoid.
The tormenting phone ring finally stopped: Xinluo breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she was about to get up and pour water, the doorbell rang urgently.
「Who is it? 」Xinluo looked out through the peephole and unexpectedly saw Xia’erxi with a grim expression.
「X-Xierxi? 」She was startled.
「Open the door. 」He communicated through lip movements.
