Shen Yiling's eyes were filled with resentment after she heard Shi Fengju's answer.
"So I was correct in the end?"
Her fists were clenched tightly and her nails dug in her palm. However, she didn't seem to feel any pain.
For a moment, her voice seemed to be so vicious that Shi Fengju thought that he was talking someone else not Shen Yiling. Startled he couldn't help but call out Shen Yiling's name.
"Yiling"
Shen Yiling also realized that she behaved differently just now.
She pretended to clear her throat and easily gave an excuse.
"Sorry, Brother Fengju. Actually my throat is a little sore."
Shi Fengju's worried voice immediately came from the other side
"Sore throat? Have some warm water."
Shen Yiling hummed in a low voice but Shi Fengju could sense the despair in that small response. He sighed softly and said
"Yiling, don't worry. Jian really doesn't have any feelings for that girl. That girl saved his life five years ago and that's why he is just repaying her now."
"I know, Brother Fengju."
Shi Fengju frowned because he seemed to hear Shen Yiling choking at the end of her words. It seems that she was crying.
In the end, he could only ask her helplessly.
"Okay, tell me. What should I do to make you believe?"
Shen Yiling was very satisfied when she finally heard what she wanted to hear. In a voice that was very perfect for this moment, she pleaded softly
"Can Brother Fengju find everything about this girl?"
No response came from the other side and Shen Yiling couldn't help but frown. A moment later, she again said nervously
"Brother Fengju…leave it. Forget that I said anything. It seems that I have gone crazy for Brother Jian. I can't e…"
"Okay"
Shi Fengju said interrupting Shen Yiling.
"I will investigate her and then will give you all of her information in a few days."
Shen Yiling's eyes brightened instantly and she quickly thanked Shi Fengju in a cheerful voice. Shi Fengju smiled hearing her bright voice but this smile was a little different from before.
Perhaps in the corner of his heart, he was also not satisfied with what he had just agreed. After all, which man would feel happy to help the girl he liked to chase other man.
But the other part of his heart also said that love is not selfish. It is blind.
And perhaps his love for Shen Yiling was the same… selfless and blind.
------
Tian Yuan bought fresh vegetables from the supermarket and then came out.
Aunt Yun has taken leave for a few days so it was he who was making three times meals for him as well as Liu Ji Fan.
On the other side of the road, he could see Liu Ji Fan standing out of his car and waiting for him. A smile grazed over his lips because he could see the relief in Liu Ji Fan's eyes when the man noticed him.
Was he afraid that he would run away?
It was not actually the first time he had seen Liu Ji Fna behaving like this. Every time he would leave his sight without telling him where he was going, Liu Ji Fan would serach for him crazily and when he would find him, his tight hug would almost make Tian Yuan push him away.
Tian Yuan sighed as he remembered the yesterday's incident when he had just gone to the washroom and Liu Ji Fna had started to bang the door.
The dog man didn't stop until he responded to him.
Even after that, he found him standing outside the bathroom when he exited.
He could not help but find this 'afraid' Liu Ji Fan a little funny. Has CEO Liu lost all his common sense in his fear of losing him?
He wondered suddenly.
Could Liu Ji Fan not know that he would never leave until his unconscious mother was in the hospital? And it was not like he could run away with his mother without letting Liu Ji Fan know. In these few days, Tian Yuan had come to know that the hospital staff would not move his mother without informing Liu Ji Fan.
So the chances of leaving City S without Liu Ji Fan's wish were very minimal.
And this time, he has already decided that he doesn't want to play the game of hide and seek. He will leave and he will leave in front of Liu Ji Fan's eyes.
Tian Yuan glanced at the traffic lights that had become red now. He was about to step forward and cross the road but his phone suddenly started to ring.
He stepped back and signed Liu Ji Fan to wait. The dog man was already frowning but without caring for him, Tian Yuan held all the vegetable bags in one hand and then took his phone out of his pocket.
The call was from an unknown number. He stared at the number for a few moments trying to recall if he had received a call from any such number before but he couldn't find any such memory.
With knitted brows, he slid the screen to answer the call.
"Hel…"
Even before he could complete this single word, a cold and sharp voice interrupted him.
"I thought that lesson from five years ago was enough for you."
Tian Yuan's stopped breathing for a moment.
Horrible memories flashed in front of his eyes just from hearing that cold and sharp voice. His body seems to have gone cold but he could feel the sweat inside his palms.
The voice on the other side didn't seem to mind the lack of his response. It continued and this time it carried a hint of disgust as well as warning in it.
"It seems that you are very courageous or perhaps you don't love your mother at all, Tian Yuan."
"No!"
Tian Yuan said instantly.
"Don't do anything to my Mom….please"
He pleaded almost.
A cold chuckle came from other side and he heard
"Good. Then you must know what you should do."
"Yes, I will leave him. I will leave today itself."
And the call was cut.
