Chapter 262
The Audi A4 was back in Ye Tian’s hands again when Zheng Xinru was leaving. She instructed that she felt Ye Tian driving it gave it more character. As for what kind of feeling, Zheng Xinru didn’t specify, and Ye Tian didn’t ask. After all, if feelings could be so easily articulated, they wouldn’t really be feelings. As for the Jeep Cherokee, Zheng Xinru kept it, citing the need for cash—selling the car would make her feel a little more financially relieved. That reason actually felt quite refreshing and free from worldly concerns.
After dropping off Zheng Xinru at her home, Ye Tian received a phone call from Chen Xing. From the sound of her voice on the phone, it seemed like something had happened; her voice was low and a bit hoarse. Ye Tian immediately concluded that Chen Xing must have been crying, but as for why, he had no idea. It couldn’t be that she had been blown up by a timed bomb again, could it? Ye Tian thought about it and decided that it was unlikely. He knew how capable Li Jing was. With that psychopath around, what’s there to fear from a timed bomb?
Starbucks, a place of refinement. Ye Tian couldn’t stand it—he preferred the noisy atmosphere of a bar. The noise there was good for masking emotional expressions, both on the surface and internally; at least, you could speak loudly there. He really hadn’t expected that a rough-and-tumble girl like Chen Xing would actually like such a fresh and clean spot, just like those dog-like white-collar workers. A lady’s cultivation plan? Heaven knows.
"What’s wrong?"
Ye Tian asked tentatively. Even though Chen Xing had been wearing huge sunglasses since she walked in, Ye Tian could still see her eyes red and swollen from rubbing.
"It’s nothing. I’m going abroad tomorrow, so I just wanted to talk. What’s wrong, am I wasting your time?" Chen Xing straightened her back, startling Ye Tian into stiffening up as well, promptly shaking his head.
"Talking to you is giving you face. You listen to me! If there’s a problem, I still have to deal with it while squatting!"
Such an assertive way of talking. Ye Tian marveled inwardly, though his face wore a look of flattered surprise.
