??Chapter 55: Am I also a part of your play?

Chapter 55: Am I also a part of your play?

“Going to such great lengths to snatch my phone from , so you wanted to chat with Chen Jinhai?” Shang Hexing maintained the position with her astride him, asking leisurely.

At this mont, with the call still connected, Chen Jinhai was in agony.

In his heart, he thought: Could I also be a part of your play?

Wen Zhi asked with a blank expression, “Why call Chen Zhu’s phone?”

Shang Hexing calmly said, “There is no soy sauce in the cabinet, so I called him to buy a bottle on his way back. Is there a problem with that?”

No problem.

Of course there’s no problem.

But he misled her!!

Just now, she had thought he really wanted to call the police to arrest her.

“Wen Zhi.”

Shang Hexing suddenly called her na, his voice low and hoarse, sowhat husky and restrained.

Wen Zhi hadn’t recovered from the whole incident of being deceived by Shang Hexing when her waist was suddenly gripped by him. His palm was large, and when he exerted force, she hardly had any room to resist. She propped herself against his hard chest in a daze: “Ah?”

“Ah what ah,” Shang Hexing’s breath quickened slightly: “How does it feel to straddle ?”

Wen Zhi snapped back to reality, shocked and appalled.

She was crazy!

In her attempt to snatch the phone, she had actually mounted Shang Hexing!

And this straddling position was not rely suggestive, but it bordered on harassnt.

Especially since her skirt, because of the wide arc of movent just now, had ridden up, revealing her pale, long legs in a way that was undeniably seductive, while the scenery at her neckline was also partially exposed.

Wen Zhi got off Shang Hexing almost in a rolling and crawling manner, and due to her panic, she almost rolled onto the floor, but Shang Hexing caught her just in ti.

She squatted on the floor, adjusting her nearly revealed neckline. Once fixed, she handed back the phone with a red face and both hands: “Sorry, Mr. Shang, I did not an to offend just now.”

Shang Hexing took the phone, the call not yet disconnected, and he first instructed: “Buy a bottle of soy sauce on your way back.”

Chen Jinhai hastily agreed, “Yes, of course.”

Finally, the play was over!

After hanging up the call and setting the phone aside, Shang Hexing turned to look at Wen Zhi: “Was it really unintentional? It looked quite deliberate to .”

Wen Zhi shook her head, her expression panic-stricken: “I thought…”

Shang Hexing continued her sentence: “You thought I was going to call the police to catch you?”

Wen Zhi pursed her lips, with her head hanging down, looking all wronged and pitiable, especially endearing: “I haven’t illegally entered or exited the country.”

“If not, why the panic? Only a guilty conscience would act as you just did,” Shang Hexing said, his deep gaze on her.

“I…” The words she wanted to explain were on the tip of her tongue. She opened her mouth but couldn’t speak.

Shang Hexing extended his hand, his long fingers lightly cradling her chin: “You haven’t entered the country illegally, but can’t stand scrutiny, is that it?”

He was right.

But she could only not stand his scrutiny.

Others didn’t have the capacity.

He had more than enough.

Shang Hexing’s fingers stroking her chin: “I’m not familiar with your Wen Family’s affairs, nor am I curious. As for that year you disappeared, I am indeed very curious…”

As he spoke, Shang Hexing clearly felt her tenseness, her breathing lightening.

He eased the pressure of his fingertip slightly and leaned in a bit closer, whispering huskily at her ear: “Do you rember what I told you that day?”

Wen Zhi blinked her bewildered eyes.

What did he say?

He said, “You are an exception.”

As he spoke, mories surfaced, and Wen Zhi recalled Shang Hexing saying sothing similar that day—[You can be an exception for now.]

At the ti, she needed his help, hoping he would take her away, and he rely said such words.

Then, he truly took her away.

“Wen Zhi, I’m waiting for the day when you will tell

about your disappearance this past year in person,” Shang Hexing retracted his hand and helped her stand up.

Watching his back as he went to the kitchen, Wen Zhi’s gaze grew complicated.

From the beginning, she knew Shang Hexing was a dangerous man.

After just a few days of interaction, Shang Hexing seed to have developed so interest in her; although this interest was still faint, if one day it beca intense…

Wen Zhi lowered her gaze and sighed.

She shouldn’t have provoked him.

Especially now that the more she wanted to stay away from him, the closer she seed to get, gradually intensifying his interest in her.

But romantic entanglents were not sothing she could afford to consider at the mont; she had more important things to do, and probably would need to hide again in a few days.

Maybe by the ti she ca back after a while, Shang Hexing would have already forgotten about her.

After dinner at Qionglou, Chen Jinhai personally escorted Wen Zhi back to the Shang family’s old residence.

Not seeing Shang Hexing’s figure downstairs, Chen Jinhai invited her to get into the car, saying it was arranged by Shang Hexing. Wen Zhi didn’t look back when she got into the car, thinking this was the first and last visit; she wouldn’t co again.

The next day.

Wen Zhi took the initiative to call Shang Jing.

He answered, and at first, their conversation went well, until Wen Zhi started asking about the Buddha Beads—then Shang Jing began to evade the topic, stamring, clearly hiding sothing.

Wen Zhi said outright, “When can you give them to ?”

Shang Jing gave a noncommittal response, “I’m busy; let’s talk another day.”

Wen Zhi, frustrated, said, “Don’t play tricks on .”

“Let’s leave it at that, I have things to do,” Shang Jing, unsuccessful in his deceit, hung up on Wen Zhi directly.

“…”

Wen Zhi called several more tis, but Shang Jing didn’t answer, driving her to anger.

That afternoon, she went to Chong Wanyin’s place to probe for information. However, even Chong Wanyin was unaware of Shang Jing’s schedule and mistakenly thought Wen Zhi had developed a liking for Shang Jing. “Zhizhi, don’t you also feel that Shang Jing’s personality is quite compatible with yours?”

Compatible?

Right now, she felt like twisting Shang Jing into a pretzel and tossing him into a pot of boiling oil to fry over and over!!

This damn liar!

Lacking integrity.

Over the next few days, Shang Jing did not return to the old house; he was intentionally hiding outside.

Left with no choice, Wen Zhi called Shang Jing every day. He did not answer a single call, but Wen Zhi was patient. When she couldn’t get through with calls, she went every day to Chong Wanyin’s place to inquire about Shang Jing’s whereabouts and, as long as Chong Wanyin was aware, she was happy to share.

After four days of persistence, Wen Zhi finally learned of Shang Jing’s whereabouts outside.

Jin Dynasty Hotel.

When Wen Zhi arrived at Jin Dynasty Hotel by cab, it was already past two in the afternoon. Normally the hotel’s comings and goings should have been quiet at this ti, but when Wen Zhi got there, it was unusually bustling outside.

The scene was swarming with paparazzi and reporters.

It looked like the grand departure of a major celebrity.

Wen Zhi pushed her glasses up on the bridge of her nose and casually asked soone about the situation. That person was animated and excited, “Soone leaked that the popular actress Xie Jinyi is cheating, and the man is inside this hotel. Xie Jinyi hasn’t co out yet; everyone is waiting to snap photos of her affair.”

Wen Zhi asked, “Do you know who the man Xie Jinyi is cheating with?”

“How could we know who it is if no one has co out yet?” The person replied, not bothering with Wen Zhi, focusing intently on the entrance with their cara.

Seeing the situation, Wen Zhi knew she definitely couldn’t get in now, so she planned to head back first.

As she turned around, her phone rang.
