C1914 Let Her Go
C1914 Let Her Go
Han Xuan lit up a cigarette, took a long drag, and blew out a smoke ring.
He envied the people parading down the street and regretted not having been able to attend the parade.
Even though Han Xuan seemed like a cold and detached man, he actually had a surging heart. Especially after he knew that the parade tonight was related to his boss, Tang Peng.
That Faang Yunkang and the heartless Chu Liangxiao would definitely suffer a fate worse than death, right?
Thinking about this, the smile on Han Xuan's face became even more regretful. If he didn't stay here to be in charge of Pann Dongdong, Tang Wenju, and Soong Huiqiao's safety, he would definitely run to the hospital and see how the angry people dealt with those scum.
"Hai."
Thinking about this, Han Xuan let out a soft sigh as the sound of footsteps came from behind him.
He turned around and saw a waiter pushing a dining car out from the elevator.
Because Tang Wenju hadn't found himself after Emily gave him some medicine, the waiters who were responsible for delivering the dishes on the 23rd floor were all appointed by Pann Dongdong herself.
Han Xuan, of course, recognized the designated waiters. He also knew that the waiter who was pushing the dining cart (midnight snack) was surnamed Li, and was called Lee Xiaoyun, a tall and quiet looking girl.
However, even though he knew Lee Xiaoyun, Han Xuan still walked over quickly. His expression returned to its usual indifference: "You're here to deliver the food?"
Basically, all of the attendants at the Cloud Sky Pavilion Clubhouse knew Han Xuan now.
He knew that this man with a long scar on his face and fierce eyes was Tang Peng's trusted aide. He had once participated in a war in the Middle East with Tang Peng, and they were definitely on the same side of life and death.
Therefore, all the waiters and waiters at the Cloud Sky Pavilion Club, including the managers below Pann Dongdong, valued Han Xuan very highly. Or rather, all of them were frightened by him.
The quiet Lee Xiaoyun obviously had the same feeling.
Seeing Han Xuan walk over quickly, he immediately stopped and lowered his eyes slightly. He said timidly: "Yes, yes, it's a midnight snack."
Han Xuan unceremoniously reached out his hand, lifted the lid of the dining car and checked the tableware one by one. After making sure that nothing was out of the ordinary, he closed the lid again and asked plainly, "To whom?"
"It was ordered by Mr. Tang half an hour ago."
Lee Xiaoyun replied in a low voice.
These two days, Tang Wenju stayed in the same room with Soong Huiqiao.
Of course, they didn't sleep on the same kang, only in the outer room and the inner room. Tang Wenju was worried that others would want to harm Soong Huiqiao, so he had to accompany and protect her.
Whether it was Tang Peng or Lian Chunfaang, they could do nothing about it.
Fortunately, they also saw that Lao Tang was only protecting Soong Huiqiao. Furthermore, after Gao Fei warned her, she didn't dare to have any more ideas about Lao Tang.
It had been two nights in a row, Tang Wenju would have a midnight snack (for Soong Huiqiao) in the middle of the night, which was something Han Xuan was used to.
He inspected the food delivery men and the dining cars only because of his duty.
"Mm, go ahead."
Han Xuan nodded and moved to the side.
Lee Xiaoyun nodded slightly and carefully pushed the cart towards Lao Tang's room.
Under Han Xuan's gaze, Lee Xiaoyun walked in front of the door and knocked a few times. After Lao Tang's voice came from inside, she pushed open the door.
The window inside must have been open, because when Lee Xiaoyun pushed the door open, the hair that had fallen over her shoulders was blown up, which was the reason for the sudden appearance of the convection wind.
Lee Xiaoyun immediately raised her hand and pressed down on her long hair that was floating up from her left shoulder.
The moment she pressed down, Han Xuan seemed to find a strand of white hair.
However, before he could take a good look, Lee Xiaoyun had already entered the house.
"Han Xuan."
Just as Han Xuan was about to leave, Xiao Yue's voice came from the left corridor.
Han Xuan turned around and saw Xiao Yue, who was wearing a dark suit and skirt, walking over with high heels.
Strictly speaking, Xiao Yue was not that beautiful, but she was much more valiant than most girls. This had to do with her background as an assassin.
However, in Han Xuan's eyes, Xiao Yue was a perfect existence. If he had to choose between Pann Dongdong and Xiao Yue as his lifelong partner, he would choose the latter without any hesitation.
In Han Xuan's heart, Pann Dongdongmei was beautiful, but she was just a flower vase that couldn't help but hit him. It really didn't suit his taste.
Xiao Yue also had that kind of intention towards Han Xuan: she did not despise Han Xuan's ferocity, she could better see that loyal heart from his frightening skin.
Tang Peng had long noticed that the two of them were very close to each other and was very happy that the two of them could be together. Therefore, the two of them could already be considered lovers, Han Xuan was in charge of protecting Tang Wenju and Soong Huiqiao while Xiao Yue was Pann Dongdong's bodyguard.
When he saw Xiao Yue walk over, Han Xuan's gaze immediately became gentle. His footsteps became lighter and he walked over. When he was a meter away from her, he stopped and leaned against the Corridor Wall with his arms crossed, looking at Xiao Yue.
Han Xuan liked Xiao Yue. Every time he saw her, the look in his eyes would change, but it would never be dirty.
Xiao Yue enjoyed the way Han Xuan looked at her, so she did not avoid his gaze. She looked at him and asked softly, "Did you see that video?"
"I saw it."
No matter who Han Xuan was, he would try his best to be concise when he was talking.
If it was any other girl, she would definitely not like to chat with people that were not good with words (to be exact, she didn't know how to coax girls), but Xiao Yue didn't care, she smiled and said, "Do you feel regretful that you didn't go with Young Master (Tang Peng)?"
"A little."
Han Xuan pursed his lips, looked back and said: "But young master would rather I stay here."
"Yeah, only if you stay can young master be at ease and go out to work."
Xiao Yue also slowly leaned on the Corridor Wall, looking down at Han Xuan with a slightly tilted head, "Tell me, when will that Gao Fei return?"
Only when Gao Fei came back could he bring Soong Huiqiao away and possibly find the medicine to make Tang Wenju normal (Before he left, he had told Tang Peng that he was going to Lou Lan underground), so Han Xuan didn't have to sleep in the corridor every night, in case anyone tried to hurt Tang Wenju and Soong Huiqiao.
"How would I know?"
Tang Wenju, who was helping Lee Xiaoyun carry the plates down from the dining car, turned around and looked at Soong Huiqiao. He frowned and asked, "Oh, right. Who is that Gao Fei?"
When Lee Xiaoyun brought in the food, Soong Huiqiao was chatting with Tang Wenju. Although she really hated chatting with an old man, after losing her sense of ownership, she was still bored to death staying in the house all day. Talking to Tang Wenju about Gao Fei was also one of her biggest concerns.
Soong Huiqiao now knew that those who were able to bring food in were all people that Tang Peng trusted. Therefore, she could totally ignore Lee Xiaoyun and say what she wanted to say.
Soong Huiqiao, who was wearing a white pajamas, sat on the edge of the sofa with her left leg on her right knee and half of her snow-white calves. She had a perfect jade foot and picked up a red crystal slipper.
Lao Tang's mentality and thinking right now were all abnormal.
These two days, Soong Huiqiao had talked to him countless times about Gao Fei, but it was as if he was suffering from amnesia. Every time she mentioned Gao Fei, she would ask him who he was.
Perhaps, Lao Tang realized that Gao Fei had already threatened his position in Soong Huiqiao's heart, so whenever Gao Fei was mentioned, there was always impatience in his tone.
Watching Lao Tang help Lee Xiaoyun to get the plate from the dining car, Soong Huiqiao didn't even move. She only lightly swayed her toes and lazily said, "He is your son's good friend and also mine …"
At this point, Soong Huiqiao purposely shut her mouth.
"What is he to you?"
Lao Tang, who had just picked up a bowl of soup, felt his hand tremble as the soup dripped onto the back of Lee Xiaoyun's hand that was reaching for the tableware.
The soup was probably a bit hot, so when Lee Xiaoyun suddenly retracted her hand, she let out a soft cry.
Soong Huiqiao enjoyed Lao Tang being jealous of her, but she didn't like the sound of Lee Xiaoyun's voice. Her eyebrows creased slightly as she raised her hand and extended an index finger that was as white as scallion. She pointed towards the washroom, indicating that she should wash her hands.
Lee Xiaoyun nodded timidly and walked quickly to the washroom.
As she was about to open the door, she suddenly turned around and glanced at Soong Huiqiao.
At this time, Soong Huiqiao was about to reveal a charming smile at Tang Wenju. Out of the corner of her eye, she met Lee Xiaoyun's gaze. Then, her face suddenly paled.
Lee Xiaoyun opened the door and entered the bathroom. When she entered, she hooked her index finger at Soong Huiqiao.
"Say, what is he to you?"
Lao Tang didn't notice the change in Soong Huiqiao's expression and continued to ask about the topic.
"He … he is my master."
Soong Huiqiao was in no mood to pay attention to Tang Wenju. After she blurted out her heartfelt words, she stood up from the sofa and walked toward the bathroom in a daze.
When she stood up, the crystal slippers she was holding on to with her right foot fell to the ground. As if she didn't see anything, she walked over barefooted.
"What? H-he is your master. What master?"
Lao Tang seemed to have gone dumb. He stared at the crystal slippers and his cheeks suddenly puffed up: this is a reaction that happens when you clench your teeth and rage.
For a man to hear himself say that a certain man was his master was a shame to a man, a shame to him that his hat had turned green. As long as a man was a man, he would naturally feel that way.
Tang Wenju's heart was thrown into disarray. A scene appeared in front of his eyes: a man he knew before, lying on top of the woman he cared about the most like a wild beast, doing something that made his heart break.
With a "peng", Tang Wenju, whose eyes were abnormally red, slammed the desk, turned around and walked towards the washroom.
At this moment, in his heart, Soong Huiqiao was the woman who accompanied him throughout his life. He would definitely not allow any man to challenge his authority!
He wanted to be like a man and ask Soong Huiqiao who exactly was that Gao Fei!
Tang Wenju came to the door of the washroom. Without thinking, he lifted his foot and kicked on the door.
As the door was kicked open, Tang Wenju saw his most beloved woman was grabbed by the neck by Lee Xiaoyun and pressed against the washbasin. Her pajamas were even torn apart with her left hand.
"Let her go!"
When Tang Wenju saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, then shouted and rushed in.
The moment he jumped in and reached out to grab Lee Xiaoyun, he felt as if his stomach was hit by a sledgehammer and his body flew backwards.
