Chapter 1676: Why Are You So Afraid of Me

Inside the parking lot, Wei Yangyang, having just parked her car, stepped out clutching a stack of documents.

These were all the contents she had just organized on-site.

Once she returned to the company, she needed to produce a design version as quickly as possible to hand over to the client.

This client today was very nitpicky; she estimated that even after finishing the design, she would have to revise it seven or eight times back and forth.

Sigh, just thinking about it gave her a headache!

Wei Yangyang frowned, quickening her pace as she prepared to walk into the company.

However, what she didn't notice was that someone was walking over from the side.

And they used their body to block her path.

Wei Yangyang's frown deepened, and at the same time, she shifted her feet, preparing to walk around them.

But the moment she moved, the other person moved too.

This was clearly intentional!

Wei Yangyang looked up impatiently, but after seeing the other person's face, she instantly cowered!

She even turned around, ready to leave.

Li Xingyan, however, grabbed her collar, pulled her back, and asked, "Where are you going?"

The moment she saw Li Xingyan, Wei Yangyang was like a mouse seeing a cat.

She lowered her eyes and muttered softly, "Go, go, go to the site with the client, to do the design!"

"Didn't you just get back?"

"There, there is another one."

"You're quite busy. Where is the location? I'll drive you there."

Wei Yangyang shook her head like a rattle-drum and refused, "No need, no need, I can drive there myself!"

Looking at the girl in front of him who was like a quail, Li Xingyan felt somewhat helpless.

He asked, "It's been so many years, why are you still so afraid of me?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yangyang really wanted to "heh."

She thought to herself, you should look at your own expression right now; your face is as cold as an ice cube, who wouldn't tremble three times upon seeing it?

But she couldn't say this out loud; Wei Yangyang lowered her head even further and said timidly, "I'm not afraid."

"Then look up and talk to me while looking into my eyes."

Wei Yangyang took several deep breaths before she finally looked up.

Then she saw Li Xingyan's deep eyes, which seemed like an ocean abyss...

So much pressure; Wei Yangyang felt like she couldn't even breathe!

Yet this guy leaned in closer and asked in a haunting tone, "That day, you and Tiantian went to the bar together?"

At this moment, Wei Yangyang's mind went blank.

She answered whatever Li Xingyan asked: "Yeah."

"In the bar, besides Tiantian, who else was there?"

"A lot of people; that bar is very popular."

"I mean, people who know Tiantian."

"... Xie Wanyi?"

"Hmm, was it that brat Xie Wanyi who made Tiantian drink?"

"No, Tiantian was in a bad mood and wanted to drink herself."

"Why was she in a bad mood?"

Wei Yangyang was like someone whose soul had been captured, obediently answering several questions.

But when it came to this, she got stuck.

She blinked her eyes and actually resisted, saying, "A best friend's secret cannot be leaked!"

This reaction of hers was something Li Xingyan hadn't expected.

He didn't say anything else, just narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Wei Yangyang without blinking.

Li Xingyan was putting pressure on Wei Yangyang.

Wei Yangyang felt it!

But she didn't give in, biting the bullet and shouting, "Even if you glare at me, I still won't say it!"

As her voice fell, she felt Li Xingyan approach again!

She saw him raise his hand to brace it against the side of Wei Yangyang's body, his voice haunting: "Really can't say?"

Wei Yangyang gritted her teeth, simply covered her face with her hands, and shouted, "No means no, you can give up on that idea!"

Her shouting was heard by passersby.

The passersby looked at the posture of Wei Yangyang and Li Xingyan, then thought about what this woman had shouted...

"Sigh, these days, are girls' standards really that high?"

"Exactly, that man is as handsome as a celebrity, and he actually got rejected in his confession."

"There's no justice!"

The two of them walked away while chatting.

As for what they said, Li Xingyan heard every single word.

So, they thought he was confessing!?

Li Xingyan felt it was bad luck.

He quickly stood up straight and then said with great disdain, "What are you screeching for!"

"I didn't want to either, who told you to press me for answers!"

"That counts as pressing for answers? Then you haven't seen my other methods."

"What, you still want to use methods on me? Wuu wuu, you're too terrifying!!"

Wei Yangyang caught the wrong point and was scared to tears immediately.

She was truly crying, her tears sliding down her cheeks along her fingers.

Li Xingyan was also impressed by her tears that came whenever she pleased.

And that sobbing sound that rose and fell... it was truly annoying!

Seeing that Wei Yangyang had no intention of stopping, Li Xingyan simply ordered: "Stop crying!"

"Y-you, don't ask about Tiantian anymore, and I won't cry!"

This woman, she was actually trying to negotiate with him?

Li Xingyan pressed his lips together tightly, clearly in a very foul mood.

But in order to have some peace and quiet, he still made a concession: "Fine, I won't ask anymore!"

Having received this promise, Wei Yangyang truly put away her tears and even wiped her face in passing.

Li Xingyan looked at her flushed face and gave a light huff: "Since you're so good at crying, why don't you go be an actress?"

Wei Yangyang ignored the mockery in his words and only asked with a hoarse voice: "D-do you have anything else?"

"No."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yangyang squeezed past Li Xingyan and slipped away in a flash.

The speed and agility of her movements left even Li Xingyan stunned.

Afterwards, Li Xingyan stared at that fleeing back with a depressed expression...

This woman, sometimes she was timid as a mouse, and other times she was completely stubborn.

He really didn't know how Tiantian became good friends with such an awkward person.

After complaining to himself, Li Xingyan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Next, it was time to meet with Xie Wanyi!

It was not difficult to find out about Xie Wanyi's company.

It was just that the results of the investigation surprised Li Xingyan quite a bit.

He had previously noticed the opening of this new company.

Yet he never imagined it would actually be related to Xie Wanyi.

This new company occupied two floors in an office building.

When Li Xingyan arrived, the receptionist spotted him at a glance.

And recognizing his identity, she greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Li. Our boss said if you came, I should invite you directly to the reception room."

Li Xingyan gave a cold laugh and followed the receptionist to the reception room.

On the way to the reception room, he observed silently.

Although the staff here were few, everyone was full of energy.

This vitality was very precious.

After entering the reception room, Li Xingyan waited only a short while before seeing Xie Wanyi.

He had to admit that this sharp suit suited him better.

It made him look refined and elegant.

However, the piece of gauze on Xie Wanyi's cheek affected the overall impression.

Li Xingyan glanced at the gauze again, then said with an arrogant demeanor: "I really didn't expect you to dare to come back!"

"The past is over, why wouldn't I dare to come back?"

"But you said you wouldn't have any more entanglements with my sister!"

"That's right, I've come back to do business."

Li Xingyan laughed and retorted: "People from Wuyou Hall still want to do legitimate business?"
