Xiao Yi pushed the door open and saw the person sitting in the opposite corner at a glance.
A warm halo of light shone down from the spotlight above. She sat there, as beautiful as a painting.
But when his gaze fell upon the hands she held with the man, his eyes instantly froze over with a thin layer of ice. As he lowered his gaze, a chill permeated the air.
Ignoring the surprised or delighted glances from those around him, he walked over nonchalantly.
Xia Weiliang swallowed, staring at him blankly, wondering why he had come!
"Brother Yi!"
Su Yuxi immediately stood up, his attitude extremely respectful, "What a coincidence! Brother Yi, why are you at Meiyu too?"
"Mm, I'm here for something."
Xiao Yi tilted his head and looked at the person opposite him. Xia Weiliang also quickly stood up and bowed to him, "Hello, Brother Yi!"
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, "Did I interrupt you."
"No, no." Su Yuxi quickly said, "It's just that I haven't seen Weiliang for a long time, so we were just chatting."
There was an element of explanation in these words.
After all, for someone like Xiao Yi, who stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid, even a slight stir would spread throughout the entire industry. His attention to Xia Weiliang far surpassed any other opposite sex he had shown before.
Su Yuxi was not foolish. The look he had just received from him was unprecedentedly serious, clearly the look of one man regarding a rival!
He considered himself unworthy of being Xiao Yi's opponent.
Xiao Yi smiled, "Oh, I see her quite often."
Su Yuxi: "..."
Could he leave now?
So, he quickly turned to Xia Weiliang and said, "Weiliang, I have to rush to an appointment. You chat with Brother Yi." He glanced back at Xiao Yi and said, "Brother Yi, I'm sorry, I'm just..."
"Oh, you go ahead and be busy." Xiao Yi stepped aside to let him pass, "Work is important."
Su Yuxi's steps were a little too hurried as he left.
This was a coffee shop downstairs from the company building, and many artists from the same company came and went. Xia Weiliang suppressed the panic in her heart and smiled at Xiao Yi, "What would Brother Yi like to drink? My treat."
Xiao Yi didn't stand on ceremony with her. Xia Weiliang got up and went to the counter, quickly returning with a cup of coffee.
"Thank you." Xiao Yi took a sip. Xia Weiliang saw him frown and, without thinking, said, "Your stomach isn't good, so double espresso is best avoided."
Xiao Yi looked up at her, "How do you know my stomach isn't good?"
Xia Weiliang froze for a moment, then quickly explained with a smile, "Novels always write like that. A bad stomach is standard for your film emperor CEOs."
Xiao Yi said nothing. He put down the coffee, crossed his arms, and his dark eyes locked onto her.
Xia Weiliang felt a bit uneasy under his gaze, "Uh, why is God Yi here... for something?"
"Mm."
"Then I won't disturb you." She said, about to get up, "I also..."
Xiao Yi didn't even lift his eyelids, "Sit down."
Xia Weiliang, well-trained, abruptly sat down.
"Why did you come to see Su Yuxi?"
"Uh... I found him to confirm something."
"And the result?"
"Heh heh, I was mistaken."
Xia Weiliang had a laissez-faire attitude now. Seeing that Su Yuxi had no impression of her didn't seem like an act. Unless he had amnesia, that person wasn't him.
If it wasn't him, then who else could it be...
She subtly glanced at Xiao Yi. Although she met him after her rebirth, she remembered the man in this life had a scar on his hand. She had touched Su Yuxi's hand just now, and indeed, there was a scar.
Xiao Yi lowered his gaze, his dense eyelashes drooping. Sunlight shone on him, his fair skin exuding a cool aura in the light. He remained silent, and the quiet, stern atmosphere made Xia Weiliang feel somewhat at a loss.
She pursed her lips, and Xia Weiliang finally mustered the courage to ask, "God Yi, did you... come specifically to find me?"
Xiao Yi finally raised his eyes to look at her, "I saw the news."
"Mm." Xia Weiliang's expression was placid, and she nodded calmly.
Her little matter was already common knowledge, and she didn't intend to hide it from anyone.
There had been rumors of her entering and leaving hotels before, but at that time, she had already begun to fade from the spotlight. Coupled with the car accident, it had overshadowed the news for a while, and no one paid attention anymore.
But now it was different. The photos released by Xia Yiran were equivalent to directly convicting her.
There was no room for defense.
Seeing her silent, her face showing forced resilience, Xiao Yi suddenly stood up, pulled her hand, and walked outside.
"Uh, God Yi... Where, where are we going?"
Xia Weiliang struggled but couldn't break free, so she could only follow unsteadily.
The scene of Xiao Yi pulling her out of the coffee shop was immediately photographed and spread.
From Su Yuxi's appearance to Xiao Yi's sudden arrival, wasn't this clearly a scenario of two men fighting for one woman!
Thus, the news leaked and was spread in a sensational manner. Coupled with Xia Weiliang's hotel quid pro quo incident, the story became even more bewildering.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yi ignored everything and continued to pull Xia Weiliang into his nanny van.
Yan Zhi: "..."
Da Yang: "..."
Lian Jun: "..." Sudang Novel Network
Xia Weiliang stared blankly at the three of them and waved her small hands like a pendulum, "Hello."
The three of them waved their small hands in unison.
Xiao Yi then got into the car and instructed Da Yang, "Drive."
"Oh."
Da Yang started the car, glancing at the rearview mirror from time to time. Yan Zhi sat beside him, his body as straight as ever, his expression tense, as if something monumental was about to happen!
With outsiders present, Xia Weiliang found it inappropriate to act up. She looked at the person sitting beside her and forced a smile, "Heh heh, was this a spontaneous decision, or a group operation?"
Lian Jun, upon hearing this, quickly clarified, "It has nothing to do with us! We originally had an interview, and we were halfway there when he suddenly said he wanted to come here. You said you wanted to come, but you even dragged Miss Xia into the car..."
He looked at Xiao Yi meaningfully and said, "Honestly, even we don't know what he's thinking."
Xiao Yi closed his eyes at this moment, leaning back in his seat as if dozing.
Xia Weiliang: "?!"
Excuse me, this valiant warrior! Don't you want to explain?
Da Yang cautiously interjected, "Uh, Brother Jun, where are we going? Are we still going to the TV station?"
With Xia Weiliang in their car, he was also unsure of Brother Yi's intentions.
Xiao Yi spoke, "Yes."
Da Yang replied with an "Oh."
Lian Jun looked at the two of them, leaned forward from the back, and whispered to Xia Weiliang, "Are you and Xiao Yi dating?"
Xia Weiliang was startled. Brother Jun really hadn't changed at all; he never beat around the bush for what could be clarified in a single sentence.
"Really not!" Xia Weiliang was almost about to perform a sworn oath on the spot.
Lian Jun glanced at the person next to her, "But our Xiao Yi's recent behavior has been too bizarre, so these have nothing to do with you then?"
Xia Weiliang nodded vigorously, "Really not!"
Xiao Yi remained in his previous position without moving, only the corner of his eyebrow subtly twitched.
