Chapter 263 - More like a habit than a responsibility.
A few monts back, outside the restaurant,
Just when Su Fai was about to help Feng Yi Lan into his car, an arm wrapped around her waist and up on the shoulder, lifting her off the ground in an instant.
The woman was surprised for a mont but the expression on both n's faces seed poker. Like one was knowing what he was doing while the other had already seen this coming a long before.
"Director Qi, what do you think you are doing? I already said that I will be taking her to the doctor" Su Fai said, keeping his expressions straight. His tone felt confident, which almost let out a deep chuckle from Qi Shuai.
His eyes went to look at the woman in his arms and said in a firm, smooth voice "It's been like decades since I am taking care of Yi Lan. She has beco more like my habit than a responsibility."
Yi Lan almost felt her heart skip a beat when heard his words and witnessed the seriousness in his eyes. She wanted to say sothing but nothing appropriate ca to her head. If they had been alone then she wouldn't have cared before yelling at him but with Su Fai around, she couldn't bring herself to lower this man's charms.
Hearing the words, Su Fai also could not help but raise his brows at him. "What do you an, Director Qi? Are you implying sothing …" He said but the man interjected his words in the middle, giving a full stop to the running thoughts.
"I an you have just beco her boyfriend and there are still many things you don't know about her. She has a particular doctor who looks after her health, knowing all her previous dical records. So it will only be better if I take her to him and you get back to your work"
He said and then without waiting for him to agree made his way back where his car has been parked.
Back in the present,
Feng Yi Lan was fuming in rage, sitting inside the car with the man who seed all easy and nonchalant with her presence when she was clearly feeling uncomfortable and anxious with the words he had said earlier.
"Director Qi, what do you think you did outside the restaurant? Can you please explain?" she said, gritting her teeth while turning her face to look at the man whose expressions turned to look ashen instantly.
"…", he did not say anything for quite so mont and Yi Lan understood that he was not going to say a word even when the sun blazing in the sky goes and sets down in the west.
"Director Qi, I asked you sothing. Are you not going to reply to my question?" She repeated her words again and the man said in a plain tone.
"Yi Lan, I am in no mood to argue on the sa topic again. I have already reasoned out my actions back at the place. That man has got so work at his office and you needed to see the doctor, so I helped you both by volunteering. That's it. Is it that hard for you to understand? Don't be a slow head again."
He said and his words almost made Yi Lan lose all her control. Without giving any warning, her hands went to the steering wheel making the car run out of the man's control.
But before it got too late, Qi Shuai held it back in control pulling it up at the sideways with a screeching halt. "Yi Lan, what are you doing? It was so dangerous" He yelled out in exasperation.
"What? I thought you already knew that I am always been a slow head who does not think about the outco before pulling out any stunt"
"Yi Lan!" he sighed at her childishness and then continued, "Do you think that it is really fun to mock our past? I thought you have already moved on with your boyfriend"
He said, turning to look at her with his brows furrowed. From his expression, he looked exhausted. Yi Lan has not noticed this before but now looking at him like this, 'Did I really exhaust him to this extent?'
She felt a pang of guilt inside her heart but then suddenly rembered sothing and all her guilt felt to vanish on its own.
"Move on? From what? Are you talking about us, Director Qi? We never had anything from which I needed to move on. Now being an a.d.u.l.t, I ca to understand that whatever I felt for you, years before was just so childish immaturity that I thought to be love"
Her words were sharp and she knew that it was piercing the man with hundredfold pain she was intending to give. But was she at fault? No, definitely not. It's not her fault.
He brought the topic back on the surface himself which she has long buried inside. It has always been him who cos up in her front to bring all those buried things back on the surface.
"Yi Lan, I …"
"Where you stalking , Director Qi?" her words suddenly halted his intended words, taking him by surprise, more like a shock.
"Huh? What? Stalking you? No, never! I am not any creepy stalker. How can you even think of sothing like that, Yi Lan?" He said in his defence.
"Creepy stalker! Nice term but believe you seem none less than soone like that", she said with a second pause and then continued, "Or I don't think that there is any other reason in which every ti you show at the sa place I am. So tell , were you stalking for the past few days?"
Qi Shuai could not believe his ears. Was this the sa girl, who has always been so soft and understanding of his feelings before? Did she really think that he would be a person to stalk her like a creep?
Getting disappointed in himself, he said, "I wasn't stalking you. When you created that ruckus inside, one of your bodyguards called to inform knowing that it has always been looking after you before and even now. So I just ca in ti when you were almost out of the restaurant."
He said and the woman felt her stomach tighten at his words. No doubt, she has seen through the disappointnt in his words. She was about to say sothing but the man said before, "If all your doubts have been clear then we should speed our way to the doctor. Your ankle does not look right". As he said, his eyes went to look at her ankle and then he turned to drive the way off to the hospital.
