100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 453: No Need to Give Them Face

The two bodyguards standing guard outside were Lian Yi’s trusted men, all looking at their BOSS with surprise as he suddenly came out in the middle of the night, seemingly ready to go out.

Lian Yi bit her lip, knowing she couldn’t dissuade him, so she had no choice but to let one of the bodyguards bring the car over, while the other helped Gu Hangshen into the vehicle.

From beginning to end, both bodyguards tacitly kept their heads down, not daring to even glance at Gu Hangshen. His temper was rumored to be terrifying, and before coming over, Lian Yi had instructed them never to stare at his face, or they would bear the consequences themselves.

At the birthday party.

Huo Yandong noticed Xiaoqiao sitting there, her face restless, as if she had something on her mind.

Huo Yandong pondered before walking over to ask, "What’s the matter?"

Xiaoqiao startled, hastily shook her head, and said with a smile, "It’s nothing."

"If there’s something troubling you, you can tell me," Huo Yandong said to her, his tone quite gentle.

Only then did Xiaoqiao hesitantly speak, "Because today is my birthday, Grandfather said he’d make longevity noodles for me when I return home tonight..."

Huo Yandong nodded in understanding, then turned to Qin Yao and said, "Since that’s the case, you take Xiaoqiao back first!"

Qin Yao replied helplessly, "I’ve told her already, but she said everyone is here for her today, and if she leaves early, it would seem disrespectful."

Huo Yandong looked at her proudly, "Xiaoqiao, you needn’t give face to anyone here; instead, they should be the ones to please you! Understand?"

That statement was really...

Xiaoqiao inwardly gasped, Huo Yandong, having been in the underworld for so many years, exuded dominance with just one sentence.

At the same time, his words also very bluntly expressed his attitude towards her.

It was easy for Xiaoqiao to cover her true emotions, earlier, she had deliberately showed a troubled expression to test Huo Yandong’s level of concern and attitude towards her.

Unexpectedly, it was even more surprising than she had thought.

"Luo Feng, go ahead!"

"Yes, godfather." Qin Yao, along with Xiaoqiao, bid farewell to Huo Yandong and everyone else and left.

Huo Yandong watched Xiaoqiao’s retreating figure with a moment of blankness...

Such a filial child...

－

Half an hour later, Gu Hangshen’s car was parked at the entrance of a hidden alley near the Gong family’s old house.

From there, one could perfectly view the incoming vehicles.

Lian Yi sat silently beside him, having been holed up in that ghostly old house since the accident and not having left even once.

Yet today, he had recklessly come to such a dangerous place, dragging his wounded body, all because of a piece of news about her.

Was that woman... really that important?

About ten minutes passed before the sound of a car approaching could be heard not far away.

Lian Yi attentively watched the approaching vehicles, "That’s Qin Yao’s car."

Then... that woman, she must be inside too, right?

She hoped that nothing inappropriate would happen later!

But if that woman and Qin Yao really had something between them, would he finally lose heart upon witnessing it with his own eyes?

－

Qin Yao’s car stopped at the gate of the yard. Xiaoqiao was just about to get out when her phone started ringing.

Glancing at the phone screen, it was a strange number from the United States.

Seeing the number, Qin Yao furrowed his brows and stopped Xiaoqiao, who was about to answer the call, "Don’t pick up!"

"What’s the matter?"

Xiaoqiao also saw the number; the United States... who could it be?
