After walking out of the VIP room, Yunxi walked to a secluded corridor, put the phone to her ear, and joked with a smile: "What, my husband misses me?"
"I don't have time to think about you now." Chu Li said helplessly, "Now, we are both husband and wife making headlines!"
Headlines?
Hearing these two words, Yunxi's smile disappeared from the corners of his lips: "When did it happen?"
"I just found out, but the news seems to have been out for a long time. I have contacted the company's public relations department to issue an announcement to avoid the rumors. Yunxi, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect it to be like this."
Hearing his friend's apology, Yunxi hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a scandal headline. How serious is it?"
Focusing on the phone, she didn't notice Tang Si walking nearby in the corridor.
Upon hearing Yun Xi's answer, the anger in Tang Si's chest reached its peak in an instant.
It turned out that in her eyes, betraying her promise to him was nothing more than "a big deal"!
Taking a step forward, Tang Si grabbed Yunxi's right hand holding the mobile phone and pulled her in front of him.
"In your eyes, am I so miserable?"
The man was tall and stood in front of her with a light behind his back.
His face's expression could not be seen clearly in the shadow, but Yunxi could still clearly feel the aura emanating from him, which was filled with anger and coldness.
"Third brother, don't get me wrong."
"Misunderstanding?" Tang Si sneered, with anger in his tone, but more of a disappointment, "You want to say that the person on the headlines of the scandal is not you? Is this what you promised me for the three chapters of the appointment?!"
On the other end of the phone, Chu Li never heard her response. She vaguely heard someone talking here, but she couldn't hear clearly. She was only worried that something was wrong with Yun Xi, so she anxiously raised her voice into the receiver.
"Xiao Xi, my wife...talk...what's going on over there, can't you hear me?"
Yun Xi did not turn on the speakerphone, but at such a close distance, Chu Li's voice still clearly rang in their ears.
Yunxi:......
Damn Chuli, you want to kill me!
Sure enough, when he heard the word "wife", Tang Si's eyebrows jumped heavily.
It was originally just a joke nickname between best friends, but it was like a sharp knife stabbing a man's heart coldly.
"Wife?" He shook off Yunxi's hand, "Yes, you are not in love, you are preparing to get married, right?!"
"Third brother, things are not what you think, please listen to my explanation. This is Chu Li's call!" Yun Xi hurriedly clarified, "We are not really in love, this is just a misunderstanding, she was just joking.
, if you don’t believe it, ask her!”
Feeling worried, Yunxi simply stretched out her phone to him.
Halfway through reaching out, he suddenly thought of something and wanted to take the phone back in a panic.
late.
Tang Si had already seen the other party's name on the screen - she was not saving Chu Li, but...
"husband"!
Chu Li?
Tang Si is no stranger to this name.
The other party had been classmates with Yun Xi since elementary school. Yun Xi often mentioned it to him, and Chu Li even played at his house a few times.
He remembered the other person's face, he was a very beautiful young man.
Childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts?
No wonder she hesitated when he told her not to fall in love.
It turns out that she already has someone she likes.
"Okay!" Tang Si took a breath slowly, his voice suddenly rising, "Very good!"
The anger and distress in his chest almost penetrated him, and he didn't know how to get rid of it.
Turning around, he strode down the steps.
"Chu Li, I'll call you back later."
After saying something to the phone, Yunxi rushed down the steps to catch up.
"Third brother, listen to me, things are not what you think. Third brother..."
The man is tall, has long legs, and walks quickly.
In order to match the dress, Yunxi specially wore a pair of thin high heels.
For the purpose of setting the scene, this section of the garden happened to be a gravel path on the grass. Yunxi chased her too fast, and the heel of her high heels happened to step on a stone. The heel twisted and broke on the spot. She almost sprained her foot.
"Damn it!"
Standing up straight and looking at the broken shoes, Yunxi was so angry that she cursed in a low voice.
At this time, Tang Si had already strode across the grass and turned into the Moon Gate not far away.
Feeling worried, Yunxi simply took off her high heels, held them in her hands, and chased after her with bare feet. At this time, Tang Si had already strode onto the wooden bridge on the river, leaving her far behind.
Knowing that she couldn't catch up with him, Yunxi glanced around, turned and rushed down the river, rushing through the knee-deep river water, and finally stopped him on the bluestone path beside the river.
Afraid that the other person would walk away, she rushed over regardless and stretched out her right hand to grab his arm.
"Third brother, you...you really...misunderstood. Chu Li and I are not in love!"
Under the light, she stood panting in front of him, holding a pair of high heels in her hand.
The hem of the skirt had already been soaked by the water, and it stuck to her legs wetly. It was still dripping with water, and her slender calves were still stained with mud from the river.
His eyes fell on Yunxi's little feet, which were wet with mud and stepped on the bluestone floor. They subconsciously curled up because their feet were too cold. The man's eyebrows tightened more and more, and he roared angrily.
In such a cold weather, she went to take a dip in the cold water without fear of catching a cold?
"Go put your shoes on."
"I won't!" Yun Xi tightened her fingers, "If you don't listen to my explanation, I...I won't let you go!"
They separated in the previous life because of a misunderstanding. This time, she must not make the same mistake as in the previous life. She must explain it clearly to him on the spot.
The girl's fingers grasped his arm tightly. Due to excessive force, the veins on the back of the hand popped out, making his arm painful.
Tang Si took a step forward.
Yunxi was shocked.
He...he didn't want to beat her, right?
While she was still stunned, her body suddenly became light and she was picked up by Tang Daheng.
Taking a few steps forward, Tang Si bent down and placed her on a chair for resting on the side of the road.
"explain."
"say what?"
He changed the topic so quickly that Yunxi was still surprised by the hug just now and was a little bit unresponsive.
Tang Si secretly gritted his back teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"Don't you want to explain?"
"oh!"
Yun Xi raised his face and looked at Tang Si standing in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, he pinched his chin again.
Lifting her face to face his own, Tang Si leaned down, frowned, looked into her eyes, and added four words domineeringly.
"Don't lie!"
"Chu Li..." Yun Xi hesitated for a moment and finally told the truth, "She is not a man, she is a woman."
She didn't mean to betray her friends.
But right now, she has no other choice.
If she didn't explain clearly today, she and Chu Li would not be able to have an open and honest contact in the future, and would have to hide and dodge in front of him.
There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone a person like Tang Si.
If he finds out when the two meet again, it will only deepen the misunderstanding and make it even harder to explain clearly.
"What?"
Even Tang Si, who had been on a real battlefield and had seen all kinds of worlds, still had his eyebrows twitching slightly.
