Chapter 210: Gentleness
He cast a deep glance at her and then let go of her hand. He took his phone out and picked up.
“What’s wrong… mhm, I’m outside but I’m coming back soon. Anything you want to eat? I’ll bring it back…” Li Yunshen spoke on the phone and glanced at Tang Xin at the same time.
Tang Xin stared at the man who was concentrating on the call. Although his expression was still cold, the gentleness in his eyes was overflowing and she knew who it was without needing to think.
There was no one else other than Xia Zhixing who could make him show expressions like this.
She looked down sadly, wanting to leave, but Zhao Yang stepped forward quickly and stopped her. Zhao Yang’s eyes told her that she must wait if Li Yunshen didn’t say that she could go.
Tang Xin stared at the bright lights and felt the chilly autumn wind, she made herself numb so that she didn’t have to listen to the voice behind her. However, the more she resisted, the clearer it became and pierced through her heart.
“Do you like that cake shop? It’s okay, I’m around the area right now so I’ll go and get some. Stay home, tell Sister Liu if there’s anything you need… mhm, okay, wait for me…”
He was so patient, so caring, and so attentive.
She knew that Xia Zhixing liked that cake shop because she used to take her there often. That place was about a half an hour car trip away and he lied saying that he was close and only needed to go a bit to get there?
A man puts so much effort into spoiling a woman… if that isn’t love, what is?
“Zhao Yang, leave the car for me, you send her back.” LI Yunshen hung up and ordered cooly, then rushed every second to lower into the car.
“No need!” Tang Xin refused firmly and her words stopped his movement.
Li Yunshen shot a sharp and unrefutable glance at her, making Tang Xin clench her fists nervously, “I have nothing to do with you now, so please… don’t intervene in my life and give me trouble!”
“I gave you trouble?” Li Yunshen thought it was ridiculous and expressions changed, “Oh, you can’t even tell the good from the bad! Zhao Yang, get in!”
Zhao Yang threw a look at Tang Xin as if she was saying ‘idiot’ as she quickly got in the car and drove away.
Almost at the same moment, Tang Xin turned around with red eyes. She hugged herself tightly and walked forward stubbornly, afraid that she would turn around if she stopped.
Since their ending was clear, there was no point dwelling on it as it would only make her sad.
Zhao Yang intentionally slowed down a little and observed Li Yunshen’s expressions through the mirror, finding out that he had closed his eyes and was resting.
So she overthought it — Brother Yun had no feelings for that silly woman and everything he did back then was only for compensation.
She stepped on the accelerator without hesitation and the car shot away like an arrow on a bow. However, she didn’t know that the pair of dark eyes opened abruptly and glanced backward swiftly in the last moment…
Tang Xin stopped and touched her stomach as she recalled his gentleness when talking to Xia Zhixing, feeling guilty.
“Baby, mommy’s too useless, I couldn’t fight for that kind of treatment for you. But don’t worry, Mommy will double the love for you.”
Hopefully, they won’t see each other again after tonight and everything would be settled…
…
Li Yunshen left the cake shop with newly purchased desserts and his sharp instincts told him to stop. His eagle-like eyes locked onto the corner to the left of the shop and frowned tightly.
