Chapter 475: Chapter 485 The voice of that young lady sounded very much like Miss Lin
"Apologize to me!"
"Impossible!" Shi Yi didn’t feel she was wrong, "You’re the one who’s at fault first. Why should I apologize?"
"Not only sharp-tongued but also stubborn." Leng Yixiu didn’t get angry, he spoke lightly, "Alright, we can take our time, we have plenty of time tonight after all."
For some reason, Leng Yixiu was extremely patient with the woman in front of him. Even he was secretly surprised by this.
"I can sue you for harassment!" Shi Yi reached for her phone but found that her phone had somehow ended up in the man’s hand. She was furious and reached out to grab it. "Give me back my phone!"
The man easily avoided Shi Yi’s attempt to grab the phone, thanks to his height advantage. Shi Yi was angry and tiptoed, but lost her balance and fell straight into Leng Yixiu’s arms, caught off guard.
The unexpected change left Shi Yi stunned, until the mocking voice of the man above her head broke the silence, "What, can’t apologize, so you’re using a beauty trick now? But beauty tricks don’t work on me."
"You damn uncle, it’s you who uses beauty tricks!" Shi Yi cursed angrily and pushed Leng Yixiu away with force.
Leng Yixiu was amused by Shi Yi’s sudden curse, "You’re really not ladylike at all."
Old He, watching the scene from inside the car, was secretly surprised. Was Mr. Leng actually laughing? But wasn’t he here to settle accounts with this woman? And didn’t Mr. Leng hate women who curse the most? Why was he so tolerant of this woman?
This... was indeed somewhat baffling.
At this moment, the phone inside the car rang suddenly. Old He was brought back to reality and looked towards the back seat, finding Leng Yixiu’s phone there.
He reached for the phone, glanced at the screen, and then got out of the car, handing the phone to Leng Yixiu.
In a low voice, "Boss, it’s Sister Yi calling."
Leng Yixiu took the phone and answered it. A child’s voice came from the other end, "Daddy, story..."
Reminded like this, Leng Yixiu remembered that he hadn’t told his precious daughter a story tonight. Ever since Xiao Yi Xun could remember, he has been telling her a story every night without fail. Gradually, Xiao Yi Xun developed the habit of needing a story from him every night to fall asleep.
Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xun’s voice, the lines on Leng Yixiu’s face instantly softened, his eyes filled with tenderness, "Alright, alright, baby, I’ll be back soon."
Baby?
Shi Yi raised her brow. Was this man’s girlfriend or possibly his wife?
Shi Yi had heard that some couples in the country, some men liked to call their girlfriends "baby" affectionately. She just hadn’t expected the cold man in front of her to do the same. This scene... was indeed somewhat odd.
She felt a layer of goosebumps all over her body, feeling a little creeped out. Didn’t this man find calling someone "baby" very cringeworthy?
Leng Yixiu naturally didn’t know that Shi Yi was internally cursing him hundreds of times over.
After hanging up the phone, Leng Yixiu turned and glanced at Shi Yi, "I’ll leave your apology for later. I’ll come back for it."
After saying this, he got in the car, and the black Bentley drove away, leaving Shi Yi standing at the roadside, somewhat exasperated. She hadn’t expected the situation to end this way.
What was this?
Shi Yi laughed helplessly, feeling speechless. After all that fuss, the matter ended inconclusively. Also, what did that man mean by "I’ll leave your apology for later"? Would he come looking for her again?
Hah, he may have the leisure to find her, but she didn’t have the golden time to play with him!
Shi Yi checked her watch and saw it was already late. She felt anxious; she should have ignored that man earlier and called the police directly.
That’s right, the phone!
Shi Yi slapped her forehead. She had been so focused on arguing with that annoying man that she forgot he still had her phone. That damn man didn’t even return her phone!
Shi Yi stood alone on the roadside, feeling the cold wind, extremely depressed. Meanwhile, on the other side, Leng Yixiu lazily leaned back on the leather seat in the car, feeling very at ease.
He casually played with an Apple phone, a small and light white phone with a cartoon case, obviously not his style.
This phone was exactly the one Leng Yixiu took from Shi Yi. He forgot to return it when he got in the car, and the man didn’t intend to return it anytime soon.
"Sir, there’s something I’m unsure if I should mention?"
"Speak."
"That woman’s voice... it sounds somewhat similar to Miss Lin’s." He carefully watched the change in the man’s face through the rearview mirror, seeing a flash of indescribable pain in the man’s eyes, he regretted mentioning it.
The air in the car became somewhat suffocating. After a long time, Old He heard the man speak in a deep voice, "She’s not her."
Leng Yixiu remembered Lin Yixun’s aura clearly even after four years. He remembered her habits too, like how she never used perfume. But that woman had a faint perfume smell when she deliberately approached him, and it was Lin Yixun’s most hated green tea scent.
A person can change their face, but it’s hard to change their habits, their aura, and their personality.
The man leaned back, resting his head on the seat, slowly closing his eyes, his hand pressed tightly to his heart.
Yixun, where are you? They all say you’re gone, but why can I clearly feel your presence, feel that you’re still alive in this world.
...
The auction manager followed Shi Yi’s instructions and delivered the diamond ring she won to Ouyang Hao the next morning. When Ouyang Hao opened the box and saw the diamond ring, he felt his heart tremble.
He seemed to have returned to four years ago, to the church behind the lavender fields, back to the moment when he proposed to Lin Yixun.
Back then, they thought that once they made a promise, it would be for a lifetime. But who would have thought that fate always likes to play tricks, giving you a sweet moment only to deliver a fatal blow the next.
His long fingers slowly tightened, wrapping the diamond ring in his palm. Due to the force, a stabbing pain emanated from his hands, but that pain was exactly what he wanted.
Only by feeling the pain could he be sure that he was still alive.
