Chapter 1525 - 1525 Disturbed by Phone Calls

1525 Disturbed by Phone Calls

The man didn’t move or make a sound. In the dark, the tall and upright man seemed to blend in with the night, which gave him an especially unfathomable and profound aura.

Chi Shuyan took a closer look and vaguely made out the man’s good-looking features, but she still couldn’t think who he might be.

Jing Hengran was on guard at that moment, especially since the other party was standing so still and silent not far away. If not for the other party’s shadow on the ground, Jing Hengran might have suspected that he wasn’t human, but something else.

Although he couldn’t see the other party’s features clearly, Jing Hengran didn’t have a good first impression of him. He just felt that the other party’s temperament was gloomy and cold, and he exuded a vicious aura. He definitely wasn’t a good person, and seemed very dangerous.

Seeing that Shuyan was as wary as he was, Jing Hengran asked in a low voice, “Someone you don’t know?”

Chi Shuyan was about to nod, but then felt that the man’s features were very familiar. Wait. She suddenly remembered. Who else could it be, but her ex-boyfriend?

Chi Shuyan’s eyes widened as if she had been struck by lightning. The more she looked at him, the more certain she was that he was her ex-boyfriend, Qi Zhenbai, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.

Wait, why had he suddenly appeared here?

Chi Shuyan was a bit stunned. To be honest, what she had said before about forgetting what he looked like was mostly true. She felt that if this had been a few months later, she might not have been able to recognize him no matter how long she looked at him.

As for the turbulent emotions of the female lead in a TV drama seeing the male lead after being apart for so long, she didn’t feel anything like that at all. Apart from being curious about his inexplicable appearance at her door in the middle of the night, Chi Shuyan was quite calm.

Chi Shuyan took a look and then looked away. Jing Hengran took in her expression, narrowed his eyes, and asked again, “Someone you know?”

Chi Shuyan nodded this time and didn’t deny it. “Mm!”

Since they were acquaintances, Jing Hengran couldn’t rashly interfere. At that moment, he really wanted to know what their relations.h.i.+p was. He had the sense that it wasn’t an ordinary relations.h.i.+p. Unfortunately, the man not far away was too cold and unapproachable, so it wasn’t good for him to go forward and ask.

At the same time, Jing Hengran was used to maintaining a gentle facade in front of the young lady. He didn’t want to rashly ruin it before their relations.h.i.+p progressed. After confirming that the two did know each other and that the other party wasn’t a threat at all, Jing Hengran took the initiative to get into the car and leave.

Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief. She did find the heir of the Jing family more pleasing to the eye now, but before Jing Hengran left, he still persisted in wanting to know whether she was single or not.

Chi Shuyan had no choice but to say perfunctorily, “Single!”

Jing Hengran was naturally very satisfied with this answer. He got into the car with a smile and was about to say that they would meet again next time, when a cold, dark and dangerous gaze suddenly fell on him. Jing Hengran’s face stiffened. Almost as soon as the other party’s gaze fell on him, his scalp p.r.i.c.kled and his hair stood on end; it was as if he was being stared at by something terrifying and dangerous, and his whole body froze.

Jing Hengran could only purse his lips and swallow his words. He looked at the man in the rearview mirror, who was standing upright and motionless not far away, and drove away reluctantly!

“Be careful on the road!” Chi Shuyan said politely.

When the other party’s car turned around and gradually drove away, her attention fell on a certain man who hadn’t moved or said anything.

Chi Shuyan felt quite conflicted at that moment. She didn’t know whether to take the initiative to greet him or pretend not to see him before she entered the villa.

To be honest, now that they were meeting again, their previous relations.h.i.+p and breakup were like grudges from her past life. She had always been magnanimous and open-minded, and had long let go of all the grudges between the two of them.

But just because she had let go didn’t mean that she had forgotten. Besides, just the ident.i.ty of ‘ex-boyfriend’ was very special, and given how he tried to break things off before, she hesitated over greeting him.

Chi Shuyan pondered for a moment, but still chose to go forward and take the initiative to greet him. After all, they could still be considered acquaintances, and there was no big grudge between them. Besides, the other party was already at her door; how could she pretend not to see him?

What if he had a reason to look for her?

So, Chi Shuyan hesitated for a moment, then resolutely took a few steps forward and greeted him in an ordinary tone. “Hi! Do you need something?”

The man standing next to the car still didn’t say anything. He quietly turned the prayer beads on his wrist. In the darkness, the red light in his eyes gradually faded as he calmed down. He stared fixedly at the woman who had taken the initiative to approach him. At the same time, his eyes turned deep, dark and unfathomable; it was as if they could suck out a person’s soul.

The other party didn’t reply. Chi Shuyan felt a little strange. She suddenly stopped and looked at the man not far away, who seemed to have merged with the night. She felt that something was off.

Yes, it felt even stranger than when the other party had just left the village.

Before Chi Shuyan could figure it out, the other party suddenly opened the car door, turned around and got in. A moment later, the car sped away, as if the man had simply been pa.s.sing by.

Chi Shuyan: …

Chi Shuyan entered the villa. She was the only one at home tonight. She went upstairs to take a shower. Not long after, her phone on the table rang.

She picked up the call, which was from Jing Hengran again. He asked worriedly, “Shuyan, are you still chatting with your friend?”

The other party’s tone was faintly intimate.

Chi Shuyan subconsciously ignored the intimacy in his tone, but his words reminded her again that her ex-boyfriend had indeed come to her door. She hadn’t been dreaming.

Although she was still very curious about why the other party had suddenly appeared at her door for no reason, she couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it since they no longer had anything to do with each other. She said, “No, he left long ago!”

Jing Hengran had been a little worried at first that the man had a close relations.h.i.+p with the young lady, but when he heard Shuyan’s words, the worry in his heart was swept away. Besides, Shuyan had already said that she was single, so she naturally had nothing to do with that man.

Thinking this, Jing Hengran was in a good mood, but it was a little late, and he couldn’t disturb her. He said goodnight and hung up.

After Jing Hengran hung up, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh. She threw her phone on the bed, took down the calendar that was hanging on the wall, drew a circle on it, then hung it up again and got ready to go to bed.

After getting into bed, she placed her phone next to her and turned off the light to sleep.

In the middle of the night, her phone suddenly rang. Chi Shuyan thought she was dreaming at first, but when she opened her eyes in a daze and confirmed that it was really ringing, she reached for her phone and picked up the call. She wondered who was calling her so late at night. She curled up under the covers with her eyes closed and answered the call. “h.e.l.lo?”

Chi Shuyan closed her eyes and almost fell asleep on the phone. After a long while, the other party still didn’t speak.

Chi Shuyan looked at the time on her phone in a daze. It was 2:30am. She looked down at her phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She couldn’t help but think of the movie, ‘The Ring.’

Wait, could it be some ghost playing a prank on her?

As a ghost-catching Celestial Master, Chi Shuyan was very brave. If it were a regular person, who would call their friend in the middle of the night?

On top of that, the person wasn’t even saying anything!

Chi Shuyan asked a few more questions, but there was no sound.

Chi Shuyan could only hang up and toss her phone to the side to continue sleeping. Not long after, her phone rang again. She picked it up again, but there was no sound.

The first two times, Chi Shuyan was still very patient. When her phone rang a third and fourth time, this was obviously deliberate hara.s.sment. This was the first time Chi Shuyan had encountered such a thing. She couldn’t take it anymore and directly blocked the other party’s phone number.

That night, her phone rang countless times. Even though she blocked the number, her phone continued to ring with calls from another unfamiliar number, annoying her.

In the end, she turned off her phone and barely slept well.
