Yun Chen was wearing a dark blue tailor-made suit today, with a slight smile on his pretty face, which gave him a hint of evilness. Although his features looked like a woman’s, he did not make people feel unfit but only wicked.
Unlike Sheng Yeting, who was firm and handsome, Yun Chen was swanking and flirtatious with a hint of danger.
“Why are you here?” asked Xia Xingcheng, subconsciously nervous as Yun Chen slowly walked to her.
“This is a public place. Why can’t I be here?” he asked Xia Xingcheng with a wry smile and a raised eyebrow.
Xia Xingcheng had no way to retort. She found that Yun Chen was too mysterious and did not want to be entangled with him. But as she was about to turn around and walk away, Yun Chen directly blocked her way with his arm.
“Why are you in such a hurry, sweetie? I was here when you came, and I don’t think you stayed very long.”
Yun Chen’s implication stunned Xia Xingcheng and made her face turn.
Yun Chen said he was already here, meaning he overheard the conversation between Qin Pei and her?
At the thought of this, Xia Xingcheng’s face suddenly changed and she felt very embarrassed.
“I did not expect that Mr. Yun has a hobby of eavesdropping on other people’s conversation. You are really something.”
With a chuckle, Yun Chen thought Xia Xingcheng was even more interesting. He never cared about his reputation, so he smiled frivolously: “I’m not eavesdropping. I’m blatantly listening.”
Hearing this, Xia Xingcheng was infuriated. She glared at the man in front of her but did not dare to say anything more.
Turning a blind eye to the man, Xia Xingcheng wanted to leave in the other direction, only to hear him saying behind her: “Sheng Yeting is really an ungrateful heartbreaker. You just helped him get that valuable piece of land. Now he is going to dump you. How sad!”
Xia Xingcheng paused and looked at him like he was crazy. “What nonsense are you talking about? My business has nothing to do with you.”
Somehow, she just didn’t want others to comment on Sheng Yeting, even joking.
And Yun Chen was so annoying that every time she saw his eyes, she felt like she had been undressed by his eyes. It was so uncomfortable.
Xia Xingcheng made up her mind and started to walk straight out of the room.
Before she could leave the room, two strong bodyguards blocked Xia Xingcheng’s way.
Xia Xingcheng recognized the men who had tied her up that day at Cloud Palace.
Xia Xingcheng suddenly had a bad feeling and looked at Yun Chen warily: “What do you want? The money I owed you has already been paid off by Sheng Yeting, okay?”
In fact, the horrible memories of that night were still vivid in Xia Xingcheng’s head, but she chose to block them out.
Xia Xingcheng was in fear of being mentioned that experience again today.
Yun Chen nodded and smiled noncommittally. “Of course, I know Sheng Yeting already paid me back. This time, I just want to talk to you, nothing else.”
Only a fool would believe he just wanted to talk. Yun Chen was too mysterious to be messing with.
Xia Xingcheng frowned at the thought: “I have other things to do. Nothing to talk about with you.”
Instead of being irritated by her repeated rejections, Yun Chen was more intrigued.
“Why not? Are you afraid I’ll devour you?” Yun Chen asked her with some amusement.
However, his smile was not in his eyes. Seeing such an expression, his underlings could not help but sweat.
His smile was so dangerous that she shivered for some reason.
With a helpless sigh, Xia Xingcheng had no choice but to return to her seat. With a stern face, she said coldly: ” Just say what you want to say.”
Xia Xingcheng had no idea what he wanted to talk to her about, or what his purpose is, she just wanted to get out of there.
Sitting down at the opposite seat, Yun Chen told his staff to remove the empty coffee cups and replace them with new tablecloths and coffee.
“Nothing significant,” Yun Chen said casually, slowly stirring the coffee, “Just want to make friends with you. Aren’t you gonna give me face for that?”
He wasted so much time just to make friends with her?
Xia Xingcheng naturally wouldn’t believe him and said defiantly, “I’m not interested in making friends with you. I can’t afford it.”
This was somewhat true. Xia Xingcheng had learned Yun Chen’s identity. After competing with Sheng Yeting for many years, he must not be an ordinary person.
Such a person was out of her league.
Yun Chen smiled with an unintelligible look. He stared deeply at Xia Xingcheng: “Why do you say that? You can spend so much time with Sheng Yeting, the ice cube. I am much easier to get along with than him.”
Xia Xingcheng curled her lip, took a gentle sip of her coffee, and made no comment.
Actually, Sheng Yeting was not easy to get along with at the beginning, but after a long time, she found that he was not what he looked like.
Unconsciously, Sheng Yeting appeared in Xia Xingcheng’s mind again, and she quickly withdrew her thought awkwardly.
However, this subtle change did not go unnoticed by Yun Chen. Seeing the subtle change on Xia Xingcheng’s face, Yun Chen immediately raised his eyebrow and asked her curiously, “What, do you really think Sheng Yeting is with you because he cares about you?
That man is much more heartless than you think.”
“You are all devoted to him now, helping him so much, but he may not care for you at all.”
Care for her? Would Sheng Yeting care for her?
Xia Xingcheng laughed at the possibility of that. “What are you trying to say? I didn’t expect you to be not only good at eavesdropping, but also good at sowing discord.”
Yun Chen was not irritated by her sarcastic remarks, but broke into a smile that so bright which made Xia Xingcheng secretly lament what an evildoer he was.
“Young lady, I am saying this for your own good, and for you to wrong me like that?” said Yun Chen, pretending to be innocent.
Xia Xingcheng had no way of dealing with Yun Chen’s unpredictable behaviors. As she rushed to end the topic, Xia Xingcheng heard Yun Chen saying, “You probably don’t know that there is always another person in Sheng Yeting’s heart.”
