It was just so playful words, Ran Xiangsi didn’t expect any response from Xing Chen.
Unexpectedly, he gently responded with a soft sound from the other end of the phone.
Just like him, warm and gentle, refined and elegant.
Upon hearing his response, Ran Xiangsi felt a lump in her throat, her eyes uncontrollably reddened.
She quietly breathed, trying hard not to let him hear her sobbing.
After a while without hearing Ran Xiangsi speak, Xing Chen directly asked, "Where are you?"
"At... the beach," Ran Xiangsi replied.
At that mont, Xing Chen was sitting in the car. Upon hearing from the butler that the Young Madam had returned ho, he put down his work, ready to go ho and accompany her.
Who knew that in such a short ti, she had gone to the beach?
Fortunately, A City had such a large lake within the city, as big as the sea; otherwise, Ran Xiangsi would really have no place to go.
Xing Chen glanced out the window, noticing the dense clouds indicating impending rain.
In this weather, what’s the point of going to the beach?
"Wait for ." With these two simple words, Xing Chen didn’t say more.
It wasn’t until the sound of the disconnected call reached her ears that Ran Xiangsi confusedly put down the phone.
"Wait for ? Could he be coming?" At this hour, Xing Chen should be at the company, right?
He is soone who holds high standards for his work; normally, he wouldn’t leave his work and run around.
But he is also a man of his word. Ran Xiangsi didn’t dare leave and just stayed where she was, waiting.
The wind by the seaside grew stronger, the waves crashing, making a splashing sound.
Ran Xiangsi sat by the rocks, listening to the waves, feeling the wind, hugging her knees, lost in thought.
She didn’t know how much ti had passed.
Suddenly her shoulder felt a weight, a faint warmth imdiately enveloped her.
Instinctively, Xiangsi looked up, to see that Xing Chen had arrived at so point and was now sitting beside her.
At this mont, he seed to have shed his aura of nobility, warm like an ordinary husband, accompanying his upset little wife.
"What are you doing here?" He looked at the sea calmly, his tone gentle, with a hint of caring.
Upon hearing his voice, a tear escaped Ran Xiangsi’s eye.
She tried hard to turn her head away, looking at the sea.
She knew that if she spoke now, her voice would surely be choked with emotion.
But she didn’t want him to notice, so she cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted, "Just ca to see the sea!"
Her voice, raised by an octave, was sowhat cracked and hoarse, blending with the sound of the waves, almost hiding that touch of sob.
She shouted and then began to laugh.
Xing Chen couldn’t understand her thoughts, but seeing her seemingly happy, he didn’t ask further.
However, this place... right across was where Gu Beichuan had been hidden, why did she co here?
Was it a coincidence, or...?
Before Xing Chen could delve deeper, Ran Xiangsi had already regained her composure, turning to look at Xing Chen beside her.
She gazed at his handso profile, countless questions arising in her heart.
Why would such an excellent and noble man tolerate her so much?
"Xing Chen... do you not care about a lot of things?" After thinking it over, Ran Xiangsi still tentatively asked.
"Why do you ask?" Xing Chen raised an eyebrow, turning his gaze towards Ran Xiangsi’s eyes.
In that instant their eyes t, a wave of bitterness surged in Ran Xiangsi’s heart.
She broke eye contact, laughing, "No reason, just curious... you don’t have to answer."
