Chapter 1379: Bumping into Him

The man who walked into the ward was wearing a black t-shirt, camouflage pants and military boots, a righteous air emanating from him.

The dimness in Cen Xi’s eyes flashed past and a smile appeared on her lips. “Brother Bai Lin.”

Bai Lin went to the bedside and looked at Cen Xi, who was pale and thin, with a frown. “Qiao Yanze called me and asked me to come and see you. I haven’t seen you for a while. Why did you become so thin?”

As Bai Lin was the leader of the peacekeeping force, he was usually busy and spent many months abroad. He did not know what had happened to Cen Xi, but he knew that it must be something bad seeing her being so thin, and especially since Qiao Yanze even called him personally to ask him to come back.

“Did he bully you?” Bai Lin’s eyes darkened and he looked serious.

Cen Xi naturally knew who the ‘he’ Bai Lin was referring to. After waking up today, she had thought a lot. Qiao Yanze said that he did not send people to assassinate her and her sister and did not set the fire. After considering everything for some time, she thought that it was believable.

Although he hated her sister to the bone, he could have killed her with one shot that day, but he didn’t. He left a way out for her, so why would he make an unnecessary move and send people to kill them?

It didn’t make any sense at all for him to do that.

Besides, after he appeared in Burma, if he really wanted her dead, how did she end up lying in the VIP ward of the Royal Hospital? He was born into a good family with noble and clean blood flowing in his body, so he would not be like those sinister people who do things in the dark.

After thinking about all of this, Cen Xi’s heavy mood felt much relieved. Although she did not know who wanted to harm her and her sister, at least, it was not the man who she had entrusted her heart to in the past.

Bai Lin looked at Cen Xi, who was in a daze. He did not know what she was thinking and tapped on her shoulder. “Xiao Xi, are you okay?”

Blinking her eyes, Cen Xi regained her senses. As she looked at Bai Lin, she seemed to have thought of something and she furrowed her eyebrows. “Brother Bai Lin, do you mean that Young Master Qiao asked you to come and see me?”

Bai Lin nodded. “Yes.” Bai Lin had called Cen Xi a few days ago, but could not get through. He was also worried that something had happened to her so he asked for leave to come back when Qiao Yanze asked him to come over.

Cen Xi bit her lip and lowered her long eyelashes that were like butterfly wings, feeling puzzled. So he had asked Xiaomeng to come and see her, and even asked Brother Bai Lin over, but he himself did not show up...

He was domineering and petty when it came to relationships. When he found that she was carrying around Young Master Li’s jade ring, he had broken that ring which cost tens of millions in a fit of anger, so how could he personally inform Brother Bai Lin to see her?

The man was an enigma.

Cen Xi looked at Bai Lin. “Did he say anything else?”

“He asked me to take good care of you.”

Cen Xi’s heart tightened. Letting Brother Bai Lin take care of her, why did it sound like he was entrusting her to Brother Bai Lin?

This was not like his character. Or, did her distrust towards him in Burma break his heart, so he wanted to entrust her to others?

Cen Xi thought it was strange and could not figure out why after thinking about it.

“Xiao Xi, you and Young Master Qiao...”

Cen Xi shook her head. “There’s nothing between us.” As soon as Cen Xi’s voice fell, her stomach growled. Her face turned red and she shifted her eyes away in embarrassment.

Bai Lin felt that Cen Xi was adorable looking at the blush on her face and her uneasy gaze. He touched her head. “You’re hungry?”

Cen Xi nodded honestly.

“Can you walk? I’ll take you out to eat.”

Cen Xi felt that her body was feeling fine. She wanted to leave the hospital tomorrow morning, but since Brother Bai Lin wanted to take her out to eat, she would just get discharged ahead of time.

Bai Lin helped Cen Xi with the discharge procedures and then took her to a private restaurant.

Cen Xi was slightly surprised when she saw the sign of the private restaurant after getting out of the car. “I’ve heard of this restaurant before. The chicken, duck and fish in this restaurant are all raised by themselves, and the vegetables are all grown by them as well. The dishes here are full of the taste of home, but they only accept distinguished guests. If ordinary people want to make a reservation, they have to book a long time in advance.”

As Bai Lin looked at Cen Xi’s smile, his gaze turned soft. “Eat to your heart’s content tonight. You’re too thin.”

“Okay, then I won’t hold back!”

The booth had been booked and Cen Xi and Bai Lin sat by the window.

After ordering the dishes, Bai Lin asked Cen Xi what had happened to her recently and why she had lost so much weight. Cen Xi did not feel like saying much about it and Bai Lin did not force her.

After the dishes were served, Bai Lin kept putting food onto Cen Xi’s plate. It was especially gentlemanly and considerate.

Cen Xi took a sip of the soup. “Brother Bai Lin, you’re so good at taking care of people, I’m sure your wife will be very blessed in the future.”

Hearing Cen Xi’s words, Bai Lin’s eyes turned dark slightly and he shook his head. “It’s not easy for us to find a wife in this profession. We come back only a handful of times a year. Who would be willing to be a grass widow?”

“There must be someone willing to. Brother Bai Lin is so outstanding.”

Bai Lin gave a wry smile. No matter how outstanding he was, he could not attract her, could he? Just as Bai Lin opened his mouth, wanting to say something when there was a noise at the door.

Cen Xi’s seat was facing the door and she could see the people coming in from outside when she looked up.

Seven to eight tall figures each dressed in exquisite clothes entered the restaurant. At first glance, it could be seen that they were young men from the upper class.

The two walking at the back were... Qiao Yanze and Tang Xi.

Cen Xi’s eyes fell on Qiao Yanze. He was dressed casually today in a mauve collared t-shirt and white casual pants, and looked like he had just finished playing golf. He had one hand on Tang Xi’s shoulder and the other holding a cigarette. The two of them had their heads lowered in conversation.

As always his facial features were handsome and the outline of his face seemed to be drawn by a painter. He looked extremely devilish and showoff in pink. The group of them came in and attracted the attention of countless customers in the hall.

Cen Xi, like the people around her, followed that tall figure with keen eyes. Actually, if he tilted his head, he could meet her eyes.

But, he only talked to Tang Xi and did not raise his head to look at the hall.

The pair went upstairs.

Cen Xi lowered her eyes and she could not help tightening her grip on the spoon she held in her hand.

She did not understand why his attitude towards her had changed so drastically after coming back from Burma?

If he was ignoring her, he would not have let Brother Bai Lin visit her in the hospital.

If he still had feelings for her, it seemed like he was unwilling to acknowledge her!

“Xiao Xi, I brought you here on purpose actually.”

Cen Xi looked at Bai Lin, who was sitting opposite her, and furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. “Why?”

Bai Lin put down his chopsticks and said in a low and hoarse voice, “When I was talking to Qiao Yanze on the phone today, I heard someone inviting him to have dinner here in the evening. I didn’t want to bring you here, but I know you still have him in your heart. If you have anything to say to him, it’s better to make things clear to him face to face.”
