Chapter 1421: I Only Want You (119)

Looking at his receding figure, Xiao Bai asked under his voice, “What’s with our Chief?”

“I have no idea.”

“…”

They usually say that men have a more accurate judgement of things.

That was what Fan s.h.i.+xin thought as well.

He had seen news of Luo Hang earlier this year, saying that he might be getting married to his girlfriend of six years.

However, instead of getting married to her, he was now getting engaged to Mu Wansheng.

There was evidently something wrong with this.

Usually, when a man and a woman date for quite a long time, it’s because the man is unwilling to get married. Women are sentimental, and most of them hope to get married to the man they love.

During the process of dating, most women prefer to get married earlier. Take, for instance, him and Wu Pingyang.

Wu Pingyang had made it quite clear to him her intention of marriage, but he had made no response in return.

This was because, the more he spent time with her, the more he noticed her flaws that she had exposed over time. As a result, it became clearer to him that she was not the one he wanted to marry.

It became more obvious to him recently.

In the beginning, when he had a feeling that she was not the one, he mistakenly believed that it was because they met on a blind date and did not develop sufficient understanding of each other yet. He thought that they would be able to develop feelings for each other.

But, in reality, they could develop friends.h.i.+p or kins.h.i.+p, but not love.

Throughout these few days, he had been thinking carefully about this issue and pondering how he should ask to break up with her.

He merely had not found the right opportunity to do so.

Fan s.h.i.+xin went back to his room. After changing into a set of clothes, he took his car keys and drove out of Wei Ni Estate.

Usually, Wu Pingyang would be working at this time, and she had also used up her days of leave for this month. Thus, he arrived at her workplace without informing her.

Once he parked the car at the car park of the hospital, he saw Wu Pingyang hurriedly speeding over to his direction from the outpatient department.

Could it be that she had seen his car?

Fan s.h.i.+xin was about to get off the car when he saw her running to a blue car that was in the row in front of his car and getting into the front pa.s.senger seat.

He narrowed his eyes, sitting there without moving at all.

As he tapped his fingers on the steering wheel gently, his face was calm and composed.

Five minutes later, he gave her a call.

As no one was picking up the call for some time, he thought that she did not have her phone with her. Just as he was about to end the call, she picked up.

“h.e.l.lo?”

“Where are you?”

“Where else could I be? I’m at the hospital.”

Fan s.h.i.+xin made a sound of acknowledgment, then continued, “Let’s meet. I have something to tell you.”

“That will have to wait until I get off work. I have no time right now. How about this, come and fetch me at the hospital an hour from now. Grandfather said that you haven’t been back for quite a long time and wants you to go back for a meal. Are you okay with that?”

Fan s.h.i.+xin originally wanted to break up with her but suddenly changed his mind. “Alright.”

“Then I’ll hang up first, okay? I have to put on braces for a patient now.”

Fan s.h.i.+xin raised his eyebrows. She’s lying right now?

He did not expose her, however, and responded, “Okay. I’ll come and pick you up in an hour.”

The call ended, and he got off from his car.

He headed toward the blue car that was parked not far away and took a look at the license plate number.

Thereafter, he got into his own car again.

“Xiao Bai, check the personal information on the owner of a license plate number.”

“…”

Half an hour later, Wu Pingyang got off the blue car and speedily ran toward the outpatient department.

The blue car also drove off thereafter.

Fan s.h.i.+xin’s gaze landed on the person seated at the driver’s seat. It was a young man.

A few minutes later, his phone rang. It was a call from Xiao Bai.

He reported to him from the other end of the line, “Chief, the owner of this car’s license plate number is called Li Chengbin. He’s from a rich family and graduated with a degree in medicine. He currently owns a private clinic and is unmarried.”

“According to his personal information, can you check records of him checking into any hotels?”

Xiao Bai answered, “Okay.”

After a while, Xiao Bai called him again. “Chief, this Li Chengbin checked in at hotels a total of 26 times in the past three months.”

“Retrieve the surveillance footage from the hotel and see who he’s been sleeping with.”

Although Xiao Bai did not know why he wanted to investigate this man whom he did not know, he still efficiently completed what he had asked him to.

However, when the results of his investigation came out, he was taken aback and instantly understood why his Chief had made him investigate this person.

“Chief…”

“What are the results? Is there someone I know?”

“Yes.” Xiao Bai did not mince with his words. He went on in a rather low voice, “It’s Sis-in-law… it was her the whole time…”

“Right. I got it. Copy the surveillance footage into a USB drive and bring it here to me. I’m at the First People’s Hospital. Also, prepare a gift and bring it as well. I have to make a trip to the Mu residence later.”

“Chief…” Xiao Bai was completely indignant for him. “Sis-in-law treated you like that, why are you still preparing a gift to visit the Mu residence?!”

“You don’t have to meddle in this. Just do as I said.”

“Alright, I’ll get to it immediately.”

Fan s.h.i.+xin hung up the call, his eyes turning gloomy and the corner of his lips curling as he sneered.

Today was really quite an unpleasant day for him.

….

Xiao Bai arrived; he had been thinking of how to console him on the whole way there. But in reality, when he saw him, he instantly realized that his Chief did not need his consolation at all.

Given his composed and relaxed look as if he was completely unaffected, what consolation would he possibly need?

Xiao Bai believed that if he showed any hint of pity for him, he would definitely die a horrible death.

“Chief, I’ve brought the things for you.”

“Did you tell anyone else about this?”

“n.o.body at all.” Xiao Bai hurriedly slapped his chest and remarked, “Chief, do you still not know what kind of person I am? How could I possibly spread word around?”

“Today, I’d wanted to break up with her. But I never thought that I would run into her and that guy. Seeing how they’ve been together for some time already, they should have expected this day to come.”

Xiao Bai nodded. “That’s right. I really couldn’t tell. But since you’ve already decided to break up with her, I can rest a.s.sured, Chief.”

Fan s.h.i.+xin cast him a side glance and remarked, “What’s there for you to rest a.s.sured about? You don’t have to be concerned about my matters, just keep your lips sealed. If I find out that other people are aware of this, you won’t be able to keep this life of yours. Do you understand?”

“Of course, Chief, just believe in me. I’m the most tight-lipped, I’ll never spout a word about this! Not even if I’m being beaten to death. But, Chief, I still don’t understand. You’re already going to break up, why are you still going to the Mu residence with a gift?”

“You don’t have to understand. Go back.”

With that, Xiao Bai went back. Just when he had left, Wu Pingyang walked over carrying her bag.

He pressed the car horn, and Wu Pingyang noticed this and headed toward his car.

Once she got on, she asked as she fastened her seatbelt, “Have you waited very long?”

“Not really, I just arrived.” He fired the engine and drove the car away without looking at her at all.

“Are you in a bad mood today?”

“Yes. I’m feeling rather down.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Nothing much, I’ll be able to settle it. Did you tell your grandfather that we’re going over today?”
