Ye Cangtian returned to Haitian Pharmaceuticals before the end of working hours. Tang Xinwan had already returned from the factory.
In the office, Tang Xinwan frowned when she saw Ye Cangtian wearing new clothes.
"Bought new clothes?"
"Mm, it… it was Miss Han who bought them. She said it was to thank me for accompanying her shopping!"
After Ye Cangtian finished speaking, he nervously tested the waters, "Then I'll go change."
Tang Xinwan calmly said, "Why change? Wear them, they look good!"
Her expression was placid, making it impossible to tell if she was happy or unhappy. Ye Cangtian hesitated, then didn't change.
He just forced a smile and said, "Then I'll wait for you to get off work."
To be honest, he felt quite guilty right now!
If it wasn't for Han Feifei's action before she left, he wouldn't have felt this way. But ever since Han Feifei secretly kissed him, he always felt a bit guilty in front of Tang Xinwan.
After Ye Cangtian left the office, Tang Xinwan frowned.
Women's intuition was strong. Even a trivial matter could lead to far-fetched thoughts, let alone something that wasn't so trivial.
Han Feifei actually bought clothes for this guy. As a woman, Tang Xinwan found it extremely abnormal.
"Hmph, this guy needs a lesson!"
...
Half an hour later, it was also time for the company to get off work.
Ye Cangtian had been chatting with Li Dazhuang in the security room. During his absence from China, Haitian Pharmaceuticals had not encountered any major issues.
Moreover, with Li Dazhuang acting as a bodyguard at all times, Tang Xinwan had not encountered any danger!
As the two were chatting, they saw Tang Xinwan emerge from the company and soon drive out in her Maserati.
Ye Cangtian walked to the door with a smile. Just as he thought she would stop the car to let him in, he saw that Tang Xinwan had no intention of stopping at all. She drove straight past the security room and left!
"..." Ye Cangtian was stunned.
What did she mean? Did she forget about me, or was it deliberate?
Li Dazhuang walked out of the security room and watched the Maserati speed away, asking curiously, "Brother, why did Sister-in-law leave alone?"
Ye Cangtian felt a bit awkward, then coughed and said with a serious expression, "Oh, she had something to do and left first!"
"Then how are you going home, Brother? Should I give you a ride on my bike?"
"No need, I'll just walk a bit. She'll come pick me up soon!"
Ten minutes later!
Ye Cangtian walked on the road, feeling a bit speechless. It seemed Tang Xinwan had deliberately left him behind.
It was more than twenty kilometers from here to the villa area. How long would it take him to get home?
He thought about taking a taxi, but he was wearing new clothes and had no money on him!
This was truly a terrible situation!
Ye Cangtian sighed and lit a cigarette. It was the last one in his pack. His fiancée was really petty. He knew exactly what this was about without even guessing.
Wasn't it just because Han Feifei bought him clothes? He didn't buy clothes for her.
Women, so fickle!
Just then, a car drove by and slowly stopped by the roadside.
The car window rolled down, and Xu Weiwei leaned out, looking at Ye Cangtian standing alone on the road, surprised, "What are you doing here? Where's your Tang tiger?"
"Haha, what a coincidence!"
Ye Cangtian felt like he had seen a savior. He immediately pulled open the car door and sat in the passenger seat. He and Xu Weiwei were going the same way, so he might as well get a ride.
Xu Weiwei sized him up, pursed her lips, and chuckled, "You… were you thrown out of the car by your Tang tiger?"
"How could that be!"
Ye Cangtian flatly denied it. He hadn't even gotten into the car, so how could he have been thrown out?
He would never admit to something so embarrassing!
Xu Weiwei's lips curved upwards. While driving, she chuckled, "You came back yesterday, and Tang Xinwan is treating you like this today. Didn't you do anything out of line abroad?"
As the second-in-command of the police bureau, she had been keeping tabs on Ye Cangtian's news these days. So, when he got off the plane yesterday, she knew.
Ye Cangtian said with a serious expression, "Nothing of the sort!"
Xu Weiwei pouted. If he wouldn't say, then so be it!
After driving in silence for a while, she couldn't help herself and hesitantly asked, "Were you in danger on your mission?"
Last time, Ye Cangtian had left with Xu Shi'an, and they were gone for half a month, so she couldn't help but worry.
Fortunately, both of them were fine this time. Xu Shi'an had returned directly to the capital two days ago. She had asked Xu Shi'an on the phone if Ye Cangtian had returned.
But Xu Shi'an had stammered and refused to say.
This was also why Xu Weiwei had been paying attention to the airport for news of Ye Cangtian in the past two days.
"Missions are always dangerous!"
Ye Cangtian said, then grinned, "But for me, it's all a piece of cake!"
"You!"
Xu Weiwei's heart immediately flared up when she saw his nonchalant attitude. She thought of her parents, who had also gone on missions abroad.
As a result, they never returned!
She slowed down the car, pulled over to the side, and rolled down the window to take a breath.
Seeing Xu Weiwei's cold expression and silence, Ye Cangtian was a bit taken aback. Had he said something to upset her just now?
"Ye Cangtian, you must have heard about my parents, right?"
"Secretary Liu mentioned it. Your parents seemed to have died abroad!" Ye Cangtian nodded.
Xu Weiwei gazed out the window and said softly, "Yes, like you, they were carrying out dangerous missions abroad."
"I used to think they were invincible, that no matter how dangerous the mission, they could complete it successfully. I was also proud of them!"
"But on a mission a few years ago, they never returned!"
This was also why Xu Weiwei had rarely gone home in recent years, and even refused to visit her beloved grandfather.
Because in her opinion, if it wasn't for her grandfather sending her parents on dangerous missions abroad, her parents might not have died!
Ye Cangtian looked at Xu Weiwei's sad profile and couldn't help but comfort her, "It's been so many years, you can't always dwell on the pain of losing loved ones."
"Some people, knowing the path ahead is perilous, still have to walk it! I believe your parents had the same idea, because that was their choice."
"It's like me now, because some things must be done!"
Ye Cangtian sighed. He was thoroughly enjoying his peaceful life now, but could he really live such a leisurely life?
No!
Because he had many enemies. Not to mention the forces he had offended abroad, the Dark Association alone was his arch-nemesis.
As long as the Dark Association was not eliminated, he would never be able to live in peace.
Moreover, he had promised Tang Xinwan that he would help her find clues about her parents' disappearance, which he could only investigate after entering the Hidden Group.
Ye Cangtian sighed, "I know you're worried about me. I can only promise to try my best to survive every time I face danger!"
"Who... who's worried about you! Why are you so narcissistic? I'm not worried about you, I'm worried that Shi'an will be in danger if he's with you!" Xu Weiwei said, her face slightly flushed, after glancing at him and then looking away.
"Haha, I knew it! So you were worried about your brother, you almost made me think you liked me." Ye Cangtian laughed heartily, looking as if he had narrowly escaped.
"I would rather like a pig than like you!" Xu Weiwei cursed fiercely.
"You mean, you like pigs?"
"Do you believe I'll shoot you dead!"
"..."
