But, at this moment, shouldn't he be... preparing for his upcoming engagement party
Bai Suye stared at the string of garbled characters flashing on the screen in a daze. He took a deep breath and waited for a long time before picking up the phone and putting it to his ear.
For a long time, there was silence on the phone.
She didn't speak.
On the other side, he was also quiet, with only the faint sound of heavy breathing.
Loving someone is probably like this—he doesn’t even need to say anything, just from the sound of his breathing, she can clearly tell that it is Night Owl on the other end…
She held the phone tightly, listening to his breathing greedily, with a burning pain in her heart. Now, listening to his breathing over the phone has become a luxury.
"…Have we arrived at the airport?" After a long silence, so long that Bai Suye thought they had nothing to say to each other, he finally spoke. His tired voice was a little hoarse, which made people feel distressed.
"I just arrived..." She tried to keep her voice as calm as possible. At least, there was...
My eyes were projected far out of the window at the huge apron. In the cold winter, all the scenery was bleak.
Just like her heart at this moment...
Night Owl said nothing, and there was another long silence.
Bai Suye took a deep breath and found her voice. "Is your heart... okay?"
"Well, it doesn't matter."
"… "
"… "
"Young Master, the ceremony is about to begin. Would you like to change your clothes first?" A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.
Bai Suye's heart was twisted into a knot. Ye Xiao said "hmm" in a low and emotionless voice, and after a while, he turned around and put the phone to his ear.
But before he could say anything, she said, "Then go get busy. It's almost time for me to get on the plane."
Before Ye Xiao could say anything else, she hung up the phone. She wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but she overestimated herself. She couldn't be so calm and composed. She was afraid that if she hung up the phone any later, she would say many things that she shouldn't say...
Bai Suye hung up the phone anxiously and sat on the sofa, almost limp. He took several deep breaths before he could breathe again. However, his face remained as pale as paper and he did not respond for a long time.
When she was distracted, she didn't notice that everyone in the lounge was being quietly cleared out by the airport ground staff.
She waited until a young waitress approached her before she opened her eyes. She quickly pushed back the hazy mist in her eyes and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
"Are you Miss Bai?"
"Yes." Hearing the other party say her last name, Bai Suye had to be twice more alert. She slightly straightened her face and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Fei wants to talk to you."
Bai Suye understood immediately and frowned, "Ferens?"
The other party nodded without comment. Then, he turned on the LCD screen on the wall opposite Bai Suye in a well-trained manner. While she was puzzled, the other party skillfully used the remote control to quickly connect to the network.
On the screen, blue and white light flashed a few times, and a face that she had never seen before, but was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, suddenly appeared on the screen.
Ferrens looked very happy and energetic today. His silver hair was combed back and he looked energetic. He was wearing a black tuxedo and a bow tie. He was still sitting in the wheelchair, his hands resting on the dragon-headed cane inlaid with emeralds. He was facing the screen with a kind smile.
If Bai Suye didn't know too well what kind of person Ferens was, he would have thought that the man in front of him was an absolutely elegant old gentleman.
"Hello, Miss Bai." Ferrens actually took the initiative to greet her first.
Bai Suye straightened up slightly and smiled faintly, "Hello."
She was thinking about why Ferrens was looking for her.
"I heard that my son sent you a plane ticket back to Country S to the hotel early this morning."
"It is said that Mr. Fei always knows everything. It seems that there is really nothing that can be hidden from you."
"Miss Bai is also a smart person. Why don't you guess why I am looking for you today?" The smile on Ferrens' face did not fade, but it was always cool and dangerous.
If the night owl is a wild lion or leopard in the wild, then the battle-hardened Ferens in front of you must be the most lurking hunter on the grassland. No one knows when he will jump out and give you the most fatal blow.
Bai Suye took a sip of the hot tea beside her, looking straight at the old man on the screen without any fear, "Mr. Fei thinks highly of me and sent me an invitation. I guess he wants me to break up with Ye Xiao, right?"
"Miss Bai is not stupid. However, since my son doesn't want you to attend his engagement ceremony, I won't force you. But we still have to make it clear what needs to be said." Ferrens said this, turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man standing beside him, and ordered: "Cheng Ming, bring the person in."
Bai Suye was suspicious, but she just calmly waited patiently. She wanted to know what exactly Feilunsi was up to.
After a while, there was a huge commotion over there.
Mingcheng re-entered the screen, "Mr. Fei, the person has been brought in."
"Um."
Who exactly is Ferens going to bring here
When Bai Suyue was feeling suspicious, the screen camera was adjusted, and then she saw a person kneeling next to Ferrence.
A middle-aged woman with a vicissitudes of life.
Her mouth was tightly bound with cloth, so she couldn't speak. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her hair was spread out in disarray, almost covering half of her face, revealing only a pair of miserable eyes filled with tears.
Bai Suye only felt that these eyes looked somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.
"Mr. Fei, forgive my stupidity, I really don't understand what you mean." Bai Suye spoke slowly and remained calm.
Ferrens stretched his hand to his side, and a pistol appeared in his hand.
The woman who was originally kneeling suddenly struggled violently, making a "mumbling" sound, and her tearful eyes were filled with fear.
Bai Suye frowned, and saw Feirensi load the gun and point it at the woman's head. The muzzle of the gun slowly lifted the messy hair on the middle-aged woman's face.
This time, I could see the face clearly.
Bai Suye jumped up from his chair and shouted, "Stop! You can't shoot!"
