Chapter 516: Chapter 516: I will come find you again tonight_1
Luckily, the cellphone was on silent mode; it didn’t even vibrate. Yufei felt a bit grateful towards Xiao Lang, who had considered such minute details.
Xiao Lang had sent two text messages.
Curling up in her blanket, Yufei nervously opened the messages.
The first message was, “If you’ve made up your mind, feel free to reply anytime.”
No signature, no salutation, and no extra words. Even if Tianling got hold of the phone, she could make up some excuse.
Yufei became even more grateful to Xiao Lang’s attentiveness.
The second message read, “Don’t worry about anything, just leave it all to me.”
After reading both messages, Yufei deleted them.
Could Xiao Lang really help her escape?
Escaping from Tianling felt incredibly tempting. She yearned to leave, to live a peaceful life, to start anew.
But she dares not trust Xiao Lang. That day when he impulsively tried to take her away, Tianling quickly caught up with them.
If his plan was not well-thought-out again, running would equate to cutting off her own escape route.
Just as Yufei was pondering, another text message came through.
“On that day, I didn’t really intend to take you away. I just wanted to test Tianling.”
Then another text message arrived.
“I will come to see you tonight.”
He was coming to see her? Here?
Immediately, Yufei drafted a text message and sent it.
“What are you coming here for? You have already angered Tianling and coming again will further provoke him.”
In the president’s office of the Xiao’s building, Xiao Lang received Yufei’s reply. He couldn’t suppress the joy inside him.
Finally, she responded. He had thought she discarded the phone, not intending to accept his help.
Keenly opening her text message, Xiao Lang smiled after reading it.
From her response, he could tell that she was hesitating. She hadn’t outright refused, and what’s more, she was concerned for him…
“Don’t worry. I know the boundaries. Pretend as if you don’t know anything at all, and don’t take action.”
Yufei read the message, deleted all the messages in both the outbox and the inbox, then turned off her phone.
When Tianling returned in the afternoon, Yufei was making dumplings in the kitchen.
Seeing her in a white apron, Tianling felt warm. Also, the dumplings smelled delicious. Even though he didn’t like such food, he didn’t mind having some at that moment.
Yufei finished making two dumplings and made a pot of tea.
Tianling strode forward to take the teapot, “Let me do it.”
Yufei dodged his hand, “No need.”
She carried the dish with the dumplings in one hand, and the teapot in the other, and headed to the living room. She set them on the coffee table, turned on the TV, and played a romantic love movie, then sat down in front of the couch.
Tianling took off his coat and gave it to Li Shen, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and sat next to her.
Yufei picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea. Tianling raised his eyebrows slightly, “What about my cup?”
Ignoring him, he reached out to grab the teapot, “Let me pour it myself.”
Yufei held onto his hand and said indifferently, “I didn’t say I was making it for you.”
“Then I’ll have the dumplings.”
“I didn’t plan on sharing them either.”
Tianling withdrew his hand, lip curling with a smile, “Eating alone is no fun, let me accompany you.”
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” Yufei picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and said softly, her eyes downcast.
