Chapter 49: Wife, you're finally here!

It was A Wei.

If not for Tang Bingyan's instructions, A Wei would never take the initiative to contact him.

Could it be that Tang Bingyan really had something urgent and couldn't get away?

Xu Tian looked at the caller ID and rubbed his brow; the misunderstanding was huge now.

"Hello? Xu Tian, Tang Zong has something to take care of and will be a little late."

"Is Bingyan working overtime? No rush, it's fine if she comes over after she's finished."

"Mm, in any case, you two just keep waiting."

A Wei's tone was somewhat hesitant, as if he didn't want to say much more to Xu Tian, and he hung up the phone quickly.

Xu Tian pointed at his phone and said to An Rongxuan:

"Coincidentally, my wife really does have something to do... but don't worry, she will be here very soon."

"It's okay, I'll wait for her; no matter how late it is, I'll wait."

An Rongxuan smiled at him as if to block all of Xu Tian's retreat paths: "Even if she's working overtime, she should be able to get off work before midnight, right?"

"If she works through the night, I can wait for her too; anyway, this restaurant is open all night."

"We'll wait slowly; we'll eventually wait for her."

"But the premise is..."

An Rongxuan supported herself with both hands on the dining table, leaned forward, and got close to Xu Tian: "That you really do have a wife."

"Of course!"

Xu Tian was completely unruffled.

An hour passed, and Tang Bingyan still hadn't arrived.

Xu Tian knew Tang Bingyan was busy and couldn't bear to call and urge her.

But A Wei called again.

"Xu Tian, Tang Zong still needs some time here..."

"Is she still busy? It's okay."

Xu Tian didn't think too much about it, said a word, and hung up the phone.

However, an expression of "as expected" appeared on An Rongxuan's face, and she curled the corners of her lips with some triumph.

She didn't want to expose Xu Tian's trick immediately either, just followed his words and said: "I'm not in a hurry either; we can keep waiting."

Thus, the two sat in the Western restaurant and waited for nearly another hour.

By now, dinner time had passed, the guests in the Western restaurant were gradually decreasing, but Tang Bingyan still hadn't appeared.

After waiting for more than two hours, the phone call from A Wei rang again. Xu Tian quickly answered the phone and heard A Wei's tone on the other side seem quite terrified: "I'm sorry, Tang Zong hasn't left yet."

This time, Xu Tian finally heard a clue in A Wei's tone and asked hurriedly: "Is Bingyan very busy over there? Or is she..."

Xu Tian thought of another possibility: was it because Tang Bingyan had agreed to meet An Rongxuan on impulse yesterday, and now Tang Bingyan regretted it, so she didn't want to come to the appointment?

So he tentatively said to A Wei: "If it really doesn't work, let's just forget it for today; it's the same to make an appointment when Bingyan has time."

As soon as Xu Tian finished speaking, A Wei on the other end of the phone said hurriedly: "It cannot be canceled; Tang Zong really has something very important to deal with here and cannot come over for the time being, but she will definitely rush to see you today. Please wait a little longer; sorry for the trouble."

"I understand. Please tell Bingyan for me that I will wait for her and tell her not to worry." Seeing A Wei say with certainty that Tang Bingyan would rush over, Xu Tian agreed.

However, he wondered in his heart what kind of matter Tang Bingyan had that kept her from getting away for so long.

Could it be that some accident happened at the company?

Immediately, he thought it was unlikely; with Tang Bingyan's methods, whatever trouble there was should have been resolved properly over these few hours.

Then why hadn't she appeared until now?

Seeing that the time was approaching midnight, An Rongxuan's patience was exhausted, and she spoke to Xu Tian: "Xu Tian, stop acting. I know you don't have any so-called wife at all, and you aren't married either. This excuse doesn't work on me."

As she spoke, she tidied her hair with the posture of a victor and said in a leisurely manner: "Since you are single, then I have the right to pursue you."

Xu Tian was left between laughter and tears after hearing An Rongxuan's words: "President An, what do I have to do for you to believe that I really didn't lie to you?"

"Want me to believe you?"

An Rongxuan raised an eyebrow.

"Then naturally, it's for your wife to appear in front of me today to dispel my doubts; otherwise, I will assume you are single."

"She will definitely come today."

Xu Tian thought of what A Wei had said to him earlier and said firmly: "As long as you have the patience to wait, President An, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Alright then, I'll wait a little longer."

An Rongxuan called the waiter over and ordered a cup of coffee; it was very clear she intended to keep wearing Xu Tian down.

Although she was 100% certain in her heart that Xu Tian didn't have a wife at all, she still maintained a composed posture to wait with Xu Tian.

After all, if you want to pursue someone, especially someone like Xu Tian who was the first to pique her interest, you have to show a little patience, don't you?

Unknowingly, another hour passed. Although this Western restaurant was open all night, there were almost no dining guests left in the restaurant at this time, except for the table of Xu Tian and An Rongxuan, there was only a young couple in the corner.

Half an hour later, that young couple also paid the bill and left. At this time, only Xu Tian and An Rongxuan were left in the Western restaurant.

The waiters in the restaurant frequently cast inquisitive glances in their direction.

These two people had been sitting here since six o'clock, but only ordered drinks and not a main meal, and didn't leave; could it be they had no money and wanted to dine and dash?

An Rongxuan felt the strange looks from the restaurant waiters, and her expression was also somewhat ugly.

Her patience had been exhausted, so she simply decided to have a showdown with Xu Tian.

"Xu Tian, you..."

However, just as An Rongxuan opened her mouth, she suddenly heard a crisp sound of wind chimes at the entrance of the Western restaurant.

Immediately following, an extremely graceful figure walked in from outside.

An Rongxuan subconsciously looked toward the entrance, and just one glance made her whole body stiffen, her eyes widening in surprise.

She saw that the woman who entered had a small face without any makeup, her skin like mutton-fat jade emitting a delicate luster like white glaze under the night lights, breathtakingly beautiful.

She was wearing an off-white professional suit; clearly a simple outfit without any complicated decorations, yet it still couldn't hide the woman's aura that was like a brilliant galaxy, making it impossible to look away.

An Rongxuan's mind suddenly popped up with what Xu Tian had once said:

"My wife is prettier than you and richer than you."

Originally, An Rongxuan didn't believe it, but now seeing the young woman walking toward her, she clearly felt a strong sense of crisis, yet she still couldn't bear to look away.

Even if this woman should be her love rival, An Rongxuan still had to admit that she was prettier than herself.

Most importantly, even she, who had been in the business world for a long time, felt inferior to this woman's aura.

"You are..."

An Rongxuan stood up involuntarily to look at the young woman who had entered.

And just as she opened her mouth, Xu Tian had already quickly greeted her.

"Wife, you're finally here!"

He affectionately took Tang Bingyan's arm and returned to An Rongxuan's front.

"President An, let me introduce you; this is my wife, Tang Bingyan. Now you should finally believe that I didn't lie to you, right?" ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
