Xie Yu had her own persona.
Of course, she wouldn't cry and whine. That would only be annoying.
So she was silent for a moment. Instead of waiting for Qi Shifeng's answer, her voice became more tearful, but she pretended to be strong.
"I see. You must be busy, right? I was impulsive. Don't take what I just said to heart."
"You've been working so hard, and Jiang Li must be exhausted too. So he doesn't need to come either. I still have something to do. I'll take a taxi to the hospital by myself after I'm done."
"It's getting late. Go to bed early. Goodbye."
Then the call ended.
Actually, Xu Tingyu had woken up when the phone rang. She changed her position and pretended to be asleep again. It wasn't that she wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation, but that she didn't want to get involved.
But who knew they were so close that every word of the other person clearly reached her ears.
Sometimes, Xu Tingyu even wanted to admire Xie Yu.
This woman could maintain two different personas in front of her and Qi Shifeng from beginning to end.
She had once thought about taking pictures of Xie Yu's tea - like behavior in front of her and showing them to Qi Shifeng.
Let him see if the woman he liked was really as she seemed.
But later, she thought it was meaningless.
She also disdained to do so.
After all, from beginning to end, this wasn't a battle between her and Xie Yu.
Every time Xie Yu got the upper hand over her, it wasn't because Xie Yu was so powerful, but because Qi Shifeng favored her.
It wasn't Xie Yu's problem. It was Qi Shifeng's.
This time, though, she didn't know why Qi Shifeng had changed his mind.
She was too lazy to figure it out. After a while, she pretended to wake up, got up from his lap, and said sorry.
"It's my fault. We finally got to watch a movie, and I fell asleep."
She looked into the man's eyes in the dim light.
Maybe it was too dark, but she seemed to see some tenderness in them.
No, it should be because he had just answered Xie Yu's call.
How could he look at her like that?
Before he could speak, she said again, "I'm really a bit tired. I'll go to bed first."
After saying that, she didn't look at the man anymore and went back to bed by herself.
Qi Shifeng looked at the suddenly empty space in his arms and wanted to laugh.
Her acting skills were actually not good at all.
She had been woken up as soon as the phone rang. It was easy to tell that she had been holding her breath carefully to eavesdrop on his conversation.
Now her unhappy look was also very obvious.
So she actually did have some feelings for him, right?
Thinking like this, he stared at the bulge on the bed, slightly curving his lips. Then he walked over, lay down on the bed, and hugged her from behind.
Xu Tingyu could feel his approach, but she didn't move.
Since she didn't want to talk to him, she simply pretended to be asleep.
But for some reason, maybe because she had slept too much in the afternoon, she couldn't fall asleep.
She was in a daze until the man behind her answered another call.
This time, his aura suddenly turned cold.
When he even sat up, he didn't even notice that he had lifted her quilt.
Xu Tingyu was completely awakened but still didn't move. She only heard Qi Shifeng say two words, "Wait for me."
Then he got out of bed, and there came the rustling sound of fabric as he dressed.
After a while, he came back to the bedside, covered her with the quilt, kissed her on the forehead, and then left.
After making sure he had left, Xu Tingyu reached out and grabbed a tissue to wipe the place where he had kissed.
Before going to see another woman, he didn't forget to comfort his wife.
Did he think he was some kind of master at balancing things?
Qi Shifeng, you're really just a scumbag who knows how to break her heart.
She giggled in the dark for a while.
Good. She had dug a bit more of him out of her heart. This was good.
When morning came the next day, she finally knew why Qi Shifeng had left in such a hurry.
As she had expected, it was because of Xie Yu.
Some paparazzi had been staking out and reported that the famous dancer Xie Yu had been in a car accident late at night.
The accident wasn't serious. It was just a minor rear - end collision, and not even much of the car paint had been scratched off.
But the serious thing was that there was also a man in Xie Yu's car.
This man was wearing a mask and a baseball cap. Some people speculated that he was Chen Yan, the "infamous" playboy in Kyoto.
He was the youngest and most beloved son of the Chen family. He had three older brothers and one older sister, all of whom were outstanding in their fields.
They were also all well - known doting brothers and sisters.
So Chen Yan had been doted on and grew up causing all kinds of trouble when he was a child.
When he grew up, he was no better. He lingered in the world of women, was slovenly, and had one girlfriend after another.
But everyone only dared to whisper behind his back that Chen Yan was amorous. No one dared to say that his private life was promiscuous.
After all, the Chen family's business could rank among the top five in Kyoto. They were truly a noble and wealthy family.
Every time, Chen Yan's love affairs would make it onto the hot search.
Each of his relationships seemed to last no more than three months, but so far, no woman had ever said anything bad about him.
Some people said that he was extremely generous to his girlfriends, almost always meeting their requests, giving them houses, cars, and resources.
Moreover, he had a good - looking appearance, a face that was no less handsome than that of a first - tier popular actor, and he was 1.88 meters tall.
Even without his prominent family background, he would be attractive enough.
So after this news came out, everyone speculated that Xie Yu was Chen Yan's newest girlfriend.
But soon, someone refuted it, saying that the man behind Xie Yu was the real deal. No matter how much of a playboy Chen Yan was, he wouldn't dare to steal someone else's woman.
Moreover, they were all in the same circle. They would often run into each other. Qi Shifeng wasn't an easy person to deal with.
Whoever touched his woman was asking for death!
Soon, another piece of news followed.
It said that not long after the collision, Qi Shifeng had also rushed to the scene.
After Qi Shifeng arrived, Chen Yan left dejectedly.
The word "dejectedly" was specially marked.
The comment section went crazy. Many people said they were happy to see this. Wasn't this like a romance novel coming to life?
An outstanding and independent woman, two sons of heaven, both going crazy and falling for her.
You could even write a one - million - word story of love and hatred about it.
Xie Yu was truly the ceiling for women. She was beautiful, outstanding, independent, had a career, and had pursuits...
There were all kinds of comments in the comment section. Some people even started to ship different CP combinations on the spot.
Xu Tingyu watched with great interest for a long time before looking up at the person opposite her and smiling slightly.
"Chen Yan, are you tired of living? Trying to steal a woman from Qi Shifeng?"
As soon as these words came out, the person opposite, who had been leisurely drinking water, was so shocked that he spat out a mouthful of water.
He didn't care about the mess on his body. Grabbing the mineral water bottle, his face flushed red and his expression froze. "You... You..."
He stammered for a long time but couldn't say a word.
It wasn't until Xu Tingyu handed over her phone.
"You're really asking for trouble. How dare you get involved with Xie Yu? Do you think you've lived long enough?"
She rolled her eyes at him and casually picked up the cake in front of her and took a bite.
It was delicious. It was the taste she had liked the most when she was a child.
There used to be a cake shop near her home. The four - inch strawberry cake was like a favorite thing in her heart.
But back then, in order to dance and maintain her figure, she didn't dare to eat it more than a few times a year.
