When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 524: Enemies Cross Paths (Part 4)
Due to the pain, her eyes welled up with tears, and in her blurry vision, she could see Sheng Jianan had already reached Tang Yanqi’s side. The man’s brows were furrowed tightly, his lips moving, looking very tense.
The other people from Shengshi Group, all sharp-minded, upon seeing this scene, of course, didn’t help Shen Yao. In a flash, everyone disappeared without a trace, while those accompanying Tang Yanqi remained.
Shen Yao staggered to her feet. Tang Yanqi’s gaze had already turned towards her, and as their eyes met in the air, for some reason, a panic stirred within Shen Yao.
Perhaps it was due to her own embarrassment earlier, or perhaps it was because Sheng Jianan stood beside Tang Yanqi.
Shen Yao only made eye contact with Tang Yanqi for two seconds before stumbling away.
Although she wasn’t drunk, she had indeed drunk too much. If she thought she could easily feign drunkenness in front of Sheng Jianan, then Shen Yao’s brain must be addled.
To make the act convincing, Shen Yao nearly drank to her limit. Had she not taken two hangover pills beforehand, she would have been unable to handle it by now.
Yet now, seeing Sheng Jianan completely ignoring her as she drank excessively to shield him from alcohol, and that woman suddenly appeared and he immediately rushed over, displaying such tension right in front of her.
Why would she stay here?
Meanwhile, Sheng Jianan didn’t care about Shen Yao at all, his gaze solely on Tang Yanqi, fearing any misunderstanding. Tang Yanqi stared at Shen Yao’s back for a few seconds before slowly retracting her gaze. She said nothing but instead looked at the others beside her, "Xiao Xue, Mr. Gu, we have other matters, so we’ll be leaving first. Thank you for your hospitality today."
Bai Xue was momentarily taken aback before Tang Yanqi bid farewell to Qi Cheng and Bai Bing, then turned to leave. Sheng Jianan immediately followed, opening the car door for Tang Yanqi.
Tang Yanqi didn’t make it difficult for him and calmly sat inside.
In business, Sheng Jianan was adept, and in socializing, he was at ease. But now, he had even forgotten to say goodbye.
As soon as the car had driven a short distance, Sheng Jianan pulled over, not wanting any more chaos to interrupt them, having finally waited for her to return and stay.
Sheng Jianan turned to look at Tang Yanqi. Though he knew Tang Yanqi wasn’t the type to easily misunderstand, knew she would listen to his explanation, yet unprovoked, anxiety surged in Sheng Jianan’s heart.
Especially when he saw Tang Yanqi just staring down at her phone, completely ignoring him, Sheng Jianan couldn’t help but clench his fist, his lips pressing lightly together, "Yanxi, I..."
Before he could say anything, Tang Yanqi had already calmly turned her head. There was a hint of indifference in her eyes that made Sheng Jianan’s chest tighten, and then he heard Tang Yanqi’s soft yet emotionless voice, "It’s getting late, let’s go home, Xiao Yi is still there."
Sheng Jianan opened his mouth but then closed it again. What she said was sensible and reasonable—what more could he say?
The car drove towards the apartment. Throughout the journey, Tang Yanqi either looked down at her phone or gazed out of the window lost in thought. Her phone remained silent, and Sheng Jianan couldn’t know what she was looking at, nor dared he ask.
At this moment, QQ on Tang Yanqi’s phone was flashing nonstop, but with the sound muted, it gave no notifications.
The dedicated group chat from their dormitory was bustling all the way.
