Chapter 179 [Shi Yi 029] Have you considered your current boyfriend's feelings?

Yi Xu noticed that she hadn't returned for a long time, so he sent her a message and found that her phone was in her bag; she hadn't brought it with her at all.

He waited a few more minutes, but still didn't see her. Fearing something might have happened to her, he went to look for her.

From afar, they saw her talking to a man, her eyes smiling, her figure slender and graceful.

The man had his back to him, so he couldn't see his face. Judging from his suited back, he must be good-looking. He frowned and called out, "Shi Wan."

Shi Wan and the man both looked over.

Then Shi Wan looked away and started talking to the man.

They were a bit far away, so I couldn't hear them very clearly, but judging from the atmosphere of their conversation, it didn't seem tense at all; on the contrary, it was quite harmonious.

Instead of approaching her, he leaned lazily against the wall and waited for her to come over.

About three or four minutes later, Shi Wan walked over and asked, "What are you doing standing here?"

"Finished?" Yi Xu straightened up and looked up at the man.

Tan Wei was also looking in their direction, and they met each other's gazes from a distance.

Shi Wan didn't turn around, but gave a soft "hmm" and continued walking.

Yi Xu looked away and followed, glancing at her expression before jokingly asking, "That acquaintance? It's not your ex-boyfriend, is it?"

"You're so good at guessing. There's no reward."

"Is he really your ex-boyfriend?"

"Yes."

"They were able to talk for so long, so it seems like they broke up amicably."

Shi Wan shook her head. "Wrong. The breakup back then... was pretty ugly. As for why it was so harmonious just now... it's probably because so much time has passed. All the grudges and resentments from the past have been smoothed over by time, and those rights and wrongs are no longer important. Besides... we've both grown up."

Yi Xu narrowed her eyes, sensing something amiss. "Your ex-boyfriend from university?"

"Ah."

"First love?"

"That's not it."

"How long did the conversation last?"

"Two years and...seven months, I guess."

"You remember it so clearly, is it your white moonlight?"

Shi Wan thought about it seriously, "Hmm... I guess so, after all... he's the most unforgettable one among all my exes."

"Then why did you break up?"

Shi Wan paused, then turned to look at him. "What? Are you so interested in my past?"

Yi Xu put his hands in his pockets and replied confidently, "Yeah. I have to find out clearly whether you still have feelings for him, so I can judge whether he poses a threat to me!"

"Did he just ask you to get back together?"

"Congratulations... you got it wrong." Shi Wan rolled her eyes at him. "Not all broken mirrors can be mended. Besides, we just happened to run into each other. He just happened to have business in Suizhou."

As Yi Xu breathed a sigh of relief, Shi Wan said quietly, "However, he said he would be returning to Beijing at the end of next month and asked me to have dinner with him."

Yi Xu looked at him with a complicated and incredulous expression. "Having dinner with your ex-boyfriend?"

Have you considered your current boyfriend's feelings?

"My current boyfriend?"

Yi Xu pointed to himself.

"..."

Cosplay?

Shi Wan, "Then will you come along?"

Yi Xu's brows relaxed. "Since you put it that way, then I'll reluctantly agree..."

"Go if you want, don't go if you don't want to!" Shi Wan interrupted him.

"Tsk. Go ahead, why aren't you going?"

"Oh." Shi Wan responded softly, then suppressed a smile, "Actually... I didn't agree to him. If you want to have dinner with him, I can talk to him for you later."

Their breakup was so ugly and decisive back then, and even though they're no longer at odds, eating together at the same table still feels strange; she doesn't like that feeling. It's not open and honest at all.

When the topic of dinner came up, she changed the subject, neither refusing nor agreeing. But her frank and decisive attitude at that moment spoke volumes.

Tan Wei is a smart man; he must understand.

This encounter was purely accidental.

"Hiss... Shi Wan!"

Seeing that she was really about to turn back, Yi Xu immediately grabbed her wrist and wrapped his other arm around her neck. "You're getting addicted to playing tricks on me, aren't you? Hmm?"

Shi Wan was pulled off balance by him, grabbing his arm and saying with amusement, "Who told you not to learn your lesson and fall for it every time?"

"Still laughing, still laughing!"

Yi Xu gritted his teeth, released his grip on her wrist, and lightly tickled her waist.

Shi Wan felt itchy and tried to break free by swaying from side to side, but he wouldn't let go of her neck. After twisting a few times, Yi Xu took the opportunity to put his arm around her waist and make her face him.

Her radiant smile was captivating.

"Shi Wan".

"Ok?"

Before Shi Wan's lazy tone could even finish, Yi Xu lowered his head and kissed her lips, his voice becoming a few octaves hoarse, "I'll deal with you tonight."

"Wha...what?"

Shi Wan was stunned by his light, fleeting kiss. Before she could react, he took her hand and led her towards the private room.

The people in the private room had somewhat subtle expressions on their faces when they saw the two of them return hand in hand.

Are these two planning to go public instead of keeping it secret?

Everyone smiled knowingly and didn't point it out.

The meal lasted for another thirty or forty minutes before it ended.

Since everyone had been drinking, except for General Manager Wu and Vice General Manager Wang who had their own drivers, everyone else called for designated drivers.

Shi Wan naturally rode in Yi Xu's car.

The designated driver that Yi Xu called arrived last. Shi Wan sat in the back seat, tilting her head back and closing her eyes.

"Did you drink too much?" Yi Xu asked in a low voice as he sat down next to her.

"Hehe, you're disappointed, I'm not drunk." Shi Wan closed her eyes. "You can't get away with this."

Yi Xu chuckled, "If you've had too much to drink, I'll be the one getting taken advantage of. But you haven't had too much to drink... so I'm the one who can take advantage of you."

After saying that, he suddenly leaned down and kissed her lips.

Feeling the coolness and softness on her lips, Shi Wan slowly opened her eyes.

To be honest, I've lost count of how many times he's kissed me these past few days.

It's quite passive.

Shi Wan clearly sensed that something very important was slowly slipping away from her heart, and it was this passive situation that caused it.

Very upset.

She grabbed his collar and bit his lip hard.

It still hurts.

Yi Xu seemed to taste a faint hint of blood. He raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang. It must be the designated driver arriving. He said in a hoarse voice, "So fierce? Just bear with it. When we get back, you can bite me as much as you want."

"..."

Screw you!

Which eye of his could tell she was holding back?
Yi Xu sat back down, answered the phone, said a few words, then rolled down the car window and waved to the designated driver outside, "The car key is already in the ignition, do you need help lifting the car?"

The driver shook his head anxiously, "No need, no need, this bicycle isn't heavy."

Yi Xu nodded and rolled up the car window again.

Soon, the driver walked around the car and got into the driver's seat, only to find that there was a young and beautiful woman next to the man, with her head resting on his shoulder.

They are clearly a couple.

He fastened his seatbelt, started the car, and headed to the hotel.
