Chapter 524 Getting Stranger
"You damned fox, you really are here!" Suddenly, an angry voice came, and Ding Le was seen fuming as he walked over.
Upon seeing her appear, the fox frowned, a clear hint of displeasure flashing in its eyes.
Lucy noticed his change and was secretly pleased, but wisely kept quiet.
Ding Le stood angrily beside the fox, loudly berating it, oblivious to Lucy's amused expression. But when he met the fox's gaze, his heart sank.
The fox is angry!
A sense of fear crept into Ding Le's heart; he was both surprised and a little wronged. She had come, interrupting his date with the beautiful woman, so was he starting to dislike her?
Although she didn't like Lucy before, she never hated her this much. After what happened last time and Lucy seducing the fox today, she now hates her extremely.
They say beautiful women are wicked, and now it seems that's absolutely true. She's already with Jian Ning, yet she's still seducing that fox spirit—shameless!
“Fox, let’s go home.” She reached out to pull the fox, who stared at her intently for a while before finally looking at Lucy. “The food here is quite good. I’ll treat you next time.”
Ding Le's eyes widened. The fox was ignoring her and instead wanted to have dinner with this woman!
This was the first time he had ignored her so completely, and Ding Le felt extremely sad.
Lucy glanced at Ding Le with a hint of provocation in her eyes, then smiled and said to the fox, "That's great, but eating at only one place can get tiring. If you really want to treat me, why don't you let me choose the restaurant, and I'll call you later."
“Alright.” The fox paused for a moment. “It’s always more pleasant to eat with people you share common interests with.”
Lucy was taken aback by the fox's words, but a flicker of disappointment crossed her mind. Sure enough, all men are the same. Nevertheless, she smiled and said, "It's an honor to hear you say that."
The fox's eyes flashed: "Do you have a boyfriend?"
These words stunned not only Lucy, but also Ding Le, who was dumbfounded. Did the fox not know whether Lucy had a boyfriend or not?
"Me? Hehe..." Lucy lowered her head shyly, a calculating glint in her eyes.
Seducing Jian Ning was merely part of the plan. If she had any feelings for him, it only showed his stupidity. A man who could abandon his wife was hardly a good person. Her true love was Chi Moqing—tall, handsome, gentle, wealthy, powerful, and influential—far beyond the reach of these ordinary men.
As for the fox, it must be said that it is very handsome, but it is still not as good as Chi Moqing.
"I have a boyfriend, you probably know him, and you know he's busy all day long. But I don't care, I like him, and I can wait for him quietly. I just don't know if he really likes me, but no matter what, I'm not going to let go."
Ding Le and Fox had been following Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo, so they must have known about her relationship with Jian Ning. But Fox looked indifferent, not at all like someone who would lie. Did he really not know?
As for Ding Le, she knew him; they had clashed over this issue more than once. If she denied it, given Ding Le's temper, he would definitely expose her, and the fox's ignorance would become knowledge.
No matter what, her mission cannot fail.
Ding Le glared at Lucy, utterly disgusted by this hypocritical and treacherous woman. She turned to look at the fox and was shocked to see him looking at her with such conviction. Her heart felt as if it had been slashed by a knife, the pain making it hard to breathe.
The fox, seemingly oblivious, continued looking at Lucy and asked, "Lucy, does your boyfriend often leave you alone like this?"
"Please don't misunderstand, he actually loves me very much. He comes to see me whenever he has time, but he's busy with work, which I understand," Lucy said magnanimously.
The fox's eyes softened: "I'm really sorry to trouble you. There aren't many girls like you these days."
"You flatter me." Lucy lowered her eyes slightly, her face flushed.
"boom!"
Ding Le slammed the cup in front of the fox onto the table. Lucy's hypocrisy disgusted her, and she couldn't hold back any longer: "Enjoy your conversation, I'm going home now!" With that, Ding Le stood up, turned around, and headed home.
Men are all the same; they all lose their minds in front of beautiful women. She thought the fox was different, but who knew he was just like her! She refused to believe he wouldn't see through Lucy's obvious tricks!
After Ding Le left, Lucy tentatively asked, "Did I say something wrong? Ding Le seems very angry. If that's the case, I'll feel bad."
"It's none of your business, don't take it to heart," the fox replied indifferently. Ding Le was truly angry at him, and that was exactly what she wanted to achieve.
When Tong Shili got home from get off work, she expected to see the man who was always appearing and disappearing in her house, but when she got home, she found the house cold and deserted, and she couldn't see Bai Ningxuan at all.
That's strange. He's been clinging to her a lot lately, why didn't he come today? Could something have happened to him?
Tong Shili waited anxiously in the living room, but even at 2 a.m., she didn't see Bai Ningxuan. Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and went downstairs to wait for him, but it was pitch black, and she didn't see him at all.
"Bai Ningxuan?" Tong Shili called him. Normally, Bai Ningxuan would have come out long ago, but strangely, no matter how she called him today, there was no sound.
Her heart was pounding. Could it be that she had rejected him and he had finally come to his senses and left?
Her heart skipped a beat, and the pain made it hard to breathe.
She returned to her bedroom dejectedly and noticed a note under the small lamp that she hadn't seen before. She quickly went over and saw Bai Ningxuan's strong and vigorous handwriting on it.
"My dear, I don't know what I did wrong that made you unable to accept me. I want you to be happy, even if the person by your side isn't me. There's a business deal I hesitated over for a long time, unsure whether to agree to it. Now it seems I have the answer. If the deal goes through, I'll have a lifetime to spend with you; but if it fails, you'll be rid of me forever. No matter what, my dear, I still hope you'll be happy for the rest of your life. Don't wait for me, do what you want to do, forever loving you, Bai Ningxuan."
Staring at the words on the note, Tong Shili remained speechless for a long time. What did she mean by "getting rid of him forever"? Just because she rejected him, he wanted to cut ties with her completely?
What the hell is Bai Ningxuan up to?!
Tong Shili was both anxious and angry. She tore the note to shreds and threw it away violently. What kind of "threatening suicide" is this? How childish!
Taking a deep breath, Tong Shili gritted her teeth. "You, the big boss, have things to do? Fine, go ahead and do your thing, but never show up again!"
For several days in a row, Tong Shili hadn't seen Bai Ningxuan. Similarly, Yan Zuozuo hadn't received a call from Adrian for several days. Even when she called him, it wasn't Adrian who answered, which puzzled her.
Has something really happened in France that makes it inconvenient for him to connect to the phone?
Yan Zuozuo frowned. Under normal circumstances, Adrian should have brought Snowden to France long ago. However, Adrian had always disagreed, and Mr. Snowden was not suited for long-distance travel, so the status quo had been maintained.
Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, she suddenly seemed to see a familiar shadow. She was startled and quickly chased after it, but the shadow was moving very fast, and she couldn't catch up.
Chi Moqing came to pick her up and saw her hurried figure. He quickly stopped her, "Wife, why are you in such a hurry?"
Holding Chi Moqing in her arms, Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing. I just called Adrian, but I couldn't get in touch with him."
Chi Moqing nodded: "I know, something happened to him, so it's really hard to contact him."
"What's wrong?" Yan Zuozuo looked up and asked nervously.
"I don't know yet. News is being tightly controlled in France, and we can't find out anything." Chi Moqing gently stroked his wife's face and said softly, "Adrian has his reasons for doing this. We shouldn't think about anything else now; just take good care of Grandpa."
Yan Zuozuo sighed, nodded, glanced at the ward not far away, and said with emotion, "Grandpa was a powerful and influential man in his life, and now he's in the hospital. I never imagined that it would be just the two of us taking care of him. It's quite sad to think about."
"Silly girl, your grandfather has lived a life of adventure, and all he wanted was peace. Now that you're by his side, he must be very content."
Yan Zuozuo looked at him, puzzled: "Why did you say that, husband?"
Meeting his wife's curious gaze, Chi Moqing pondered for a moment and said, "The ring your grandfather gave you is enough to prove how much he values you. Moreover, you are one of the reasons why he has stayed in the country for so long."
Yan Zuozuo was even more confused, but then she saw Chi Moqing smile gently, "The truth will always come out eventually, there's no rush. It's good that Grandpa is staying here. It's precisely because Grandpa has been a prominent figure in politics all his life that he has made more enemies. What we need to do now is protect him, and we can talk about the rest later."
Yan Zuozuo nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Honey, I think I just saw someone I know."
"Who?"
Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips: "I don't know if I'm seeing things, but she looks a lot like Cao Youyou."
“Cao Youyou…” Chi Moqing frowned, as if he was pondering something.
The news of Snowden's injury has been completely covered up. Wouldn't it be strange if Cao Youyou knew about it?
"Honey, what are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing. We can't be sure if that person is Hua Xiaoran yet, so we can't make assumptions."
That's right. We can't just make assumptions or draw conclusions about this. She's not very familiar with the situation on Snowden's side, so it's best not to make any assumptions.
"By the way, honey, how's business at the company going?"
Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Yu Fangfei actually called me on her own initiative. Besides asking about Grandpa, she even expressed her willingness to be interviewed. Honey, I find it very strange. What do you think?"
Chi Moqing thought for a moment and asked, "Who should we send?"
“This matter is quite delicate, and I want to go with Tong Shili. Of course, we should also bring Lucy along, since she was the one who suggested and planned it.”
"You can't go, leave it to Yutong."
"Huh?" Yan Zuozuo's eyes widened. "Why?"
No matter what decision she made, Chi Moqing always supported her. Strangely, this time he actually opposed it, and his attitude was firm, which made Yan Zuozuo even more curious. Of course, she knew that Chi Moqing must have his reasons for doing this, and those reasons were definitely all for her sake.
“Unless you have a reason to convince me,” Yan Zuozuo said, blinking.
