Chapter 2022: Good Night

Qi Chen drank three glasses generously.

After he was done, he took a hot towel from the waiter and wiped his lips and hands.

When he sat down, he looked at the woman beside him. “Tangtang, long time no see.”

Tang Wu smiled. “It’s been a while.”

Her exquisitely made-up face had a perfect smile, making it difficult to read her emotions.

Old Master Qi said, “You’ve only been pursuing your ideals all these years and haven’t taken care of your family business. You said yourself that you would come back to the Qi family and be the head of the family after you won the international award.”

“Why are you so quiet in front of Wu’er?”

Qi Chen looked at Old Master Qi helplessly. “Grandpa, I’m afraid I’ll scare Tang Tang if I say too much.”

“This boy was so adorable when he was young. Look at him now…” Old Master Qi shook his head with a smile.

Mrs Tang said, “Ah Chen is an international star now. He has so many across the world and many girls like him.”

Qi Chen glanced at Tang Wu, who was peeling prawns beside her. The smile in his eyes deepened. “No matter how many people like her, there will always be those who don’t.”

Tang Wu felt his gaze and her eyelids jumped.

She did not respond to his words.

During the meal, the topic of the elders of the two families revolved around the two young people from time to time.

How could Tang Wu not understand why the two families had intentions to matchmake her and Qi Chen?

Qi Chen was a very career-minded person. Ever since he was young, there had been countless women who loved him, but none of them had ever conquered him.

How could he possibly like her?

After dinner, Tang Wu remembered that she was going to the company early tomorrow. She said to Mother Tang, “Mom, I’ll go back to my apartment tonight.”

Tang Wu had bought an apartment in the city center some time ago. It was close to the company and she stayed in the apartment while she worked.

“Qi Chen is going back to the city. Let him take Wuwu back!” Madam Qi said.

Mother Tang urged Tang Wu to get into Qi Chen’s car.

Tang Wu had come out to meet her elders today. She was wearing an embroidered cheongsam and the half-collar wrapped around her beautiful and slender neck. It was not revealing at all, but it accentuated her figure perfectly.

The skirt hem was high slit and her legs were slender and beautiful.

She was already beautiful, so when she dressed like this, she looked extremely charming.

Qi Chen drove out of the villa.

They had a good relationship when they were young, but after growing up, they had not contacted each other for a long time and a meal could not ease the unfamiliarity and distance between each other.

Tang Wu’s expression was especially obvious.

She chatted with him in the private room before she got on the car and looked out of the window.

Qi Chen held the steering wheel with one hand and glanced at Tang Wu a few times.

Tang Wu acted as though she saw nothing.

After driving for a distance, Qi Chen broke the silence in the car. “I heard that you broke up with Lin Xiurui.”

Tang Wu hummed.

Qi Chen smirked. “Lin Xiurui doesn’t deserve you. It was only a matter of time before the two of you break up.”

Tang Wu looked up at him. “Really?”

Qi Chen said nothing and met her eyes for a few seconds.

After not seeing her for many years, he found that she was different from before.

She had changed.

Qi Chen tightened his hold on the steering wheel.

He had never felt such emotions when she dated Lin Xiurui.

Because he knew that she would leave Lin Xiurui sooner or later.

Lin Xiurui was just a refuge for her and not the person she really loved.

There was a reason why she had not broken up with him for so long. He knew that she wanted to prove it to him.

“Tangtang, I heard that you opened an agency?”

Tang Wu hummed.

“How are the artistes?”

“They’re alright.”

“Hua Ying Entertainment’s top female artiste, Yi Jie’s contract, is about to expire. I heard that she doesn’t have a suitable agency yet.” Qi Chen looked at her.

Tang Wu’s heart skipped a beat. “I’ve been discussing it with Yi Jie’s studio recently.”

Qi Chen smiled. “I can help you if you need me.”

Tang Wu knew that Yi Jie had a good relationship with Qi Chen. Yi Jie admired Qi Chen the most.

However…

“Thank you. I can do it myself.”

Qi Chen nodded and said nothing more.

The car arrived at Tang Wu’s apartment. Qi Chen got out and opened the door for her in a gentlemanly manner.

“Thank you.”

“Tangtang, I’ve been filming a movie here recently. I haven’t come back for a long time and don’t know my way around. When you have time, can you take me around?”

Tang Wu nodded. “Okay, let’s meet our friends from before too.”

Qi Chen reached out and pulled Tang Wu into his arms. He was so fast that Tang Wu could not react in time.

He placed his other hand at the back of her head and said in a low voice, “Tangtang, apart from filming a movie this time, I have another important event in my life.”

Tang Wu did not want to hear about his important matters in life and quickly struggled out of his arms.

She turned around and walked toward the apartment.

He did not chase after her, only saying softly, “I know you have me in your heart.”

Tang Wu went upstairs without looking back.

Qi Chen watched her leave before getting into the car.

The moment the car drove out of the district, the tall and thin figure standing in the shadows walked out.

Lan Yue had been training in seclusion recently and had met Tang Wu a few days ago. At that time, she had had her period and stomach cramps, so he had come to take care of her for a day.

He had gotten his phone after training today and there were many messages she had sent him.

There would be morning and good night messages every day and some interesting things that she met in her life.

Because he was not allowed to see his phone during his closed-door training, he could only see it after it ended. After seeing her message, he came to her apartment.

He sent her a message, but she did not reply.

…

Tang Wu returned to her apartment and took a bath. After she was done, she lay on the bed in a nightgown.

Her phone was switched to silent mode. The Old Master had requested that they not answer or play with their phones in the middle of the dinner.

She opened the screen and found that Lan Yue had sent her a message an hour ago.

“Are you home?”

Tang Wu immediately replied, “Is the training over? I just arrived home. Where are you?”

After a while, she received a message from him. “In the dormitory. I’m going to sleep.”

Tang Wu: “Oh, then have an early night!”

Lan Yue, who was downstairs, looked at the dialog box but did not receive a message from her saying good night.

…

Tang Wu was a little tired today.

She did not know why.

However, it was hard to fall asleep.

Countless memories flashed past her mind.

In the middle of the night, she heard lightning and thunder. Thinking that the clothes were still hanging on the balcony, she got up and went to the balcony.

She kept her clothes and glanced downstairs casually.

It was already raining.

That was nothing, but she wondered if she was hallucinating because she had seen a tall figure by the flower bed downstairs.

She quickly returned to her room, took out her phone, and made a call.

The call went through almost within a second.

She asked, “Where are you?”

“The dormitory.”

“You’re not asleep yet?”

He was silent for a few seconds. “You haven’t said good night to me.”
