Chapter 29.2: His Heart

The two girls looked at each other, and after a long pause, they answered embarrassingly, “Hello…”

“Excuse me, are you all still busy?”

“Uh… yes, yes.”

“Is Cen Ning still here?”

“Yes, are you… looking for Cen Ning?”

“Mhm, it’s good that she’s here. You don’t have to go back and tell her to come.”

The two colleagues looked at each other again, and they agreed on the surface. However, as soon as they ran back to the studio, they were full of gossip and couldn’t hold back.

“Cen Ning!!”

The two colleagues forcibly pushed her out, and Cen Ning had no choice but to walk out of the studio.

Most of the company’s lights were turned off because many people had left, but luckily the lights in the corridor were on, allowing Cen Ning to see the person standing on the pavement clearly with a glance.

With just the back view, she already knew who was waiting for her.

The person facing away from her probably heard the footsteps, so he turned his head. Under the light, his eyes were slightly imprinted with light, like a whirlpool full of temptation.

Cen Ning: “… Why are you here?”

Yan Xingzhi was leaning on the railing, and the corner of his lips slightly pulled up. “If you want me to tell your mother that I am with you, how can you let me go back alone?”

Cen Ning’s face flushed.

She casually lied, but she didn’t think far enough ahead about how to deal with the aftermath of it.

“But I’m not done…”

“It’s okay, I’ll just wait here.”

“Ah?” Cen Ning felt apologetic, but after thinking about it, there was no other way. Thus, she took a few steps forward, reached out, and tugged at his sleeve. “It’s tiring to stand for so long. Come in. Sit and wait inside. “

Yan Xingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the small and delicate fingers pulling at his clothes. They looked unusually pale against the black material. He turned his eyes slightly, reached out, and patted her head, just like when they were younger.

“No need. Inevitably, I will have to greet your colleagues if I enter.”

Cen Ning realized that with his indifferent personality, it must’ve been difficult to act so outgoing and polite for him.

“Okay… Then, do you want to go back to the car?”

Yan Xingzhi looked at her face with an expression that said, “When you stand here waiting for me, I am suffering in my heart.” He laughed. “Okay, go in. If we continue talking, when will we go home?”

Cen Ning: “…Oh.”

“Go.”

Cen Ning hesitated, walked back obediently, took a few steps, and then turned back. “Xingzhi Gege, I will be quick…”

Yan Xingzhi raised his eyes, and his eyes sank slightly. “Okay.”

More than half an hour passed, and Cen Ning felt a little uneasy throughout the entire process. Fortunately, all the work was soon completed.

After Cen Ning finished the follow-up work, she grabbed her backpack and ran out the door.

“Done!”

Yan Xingzhi turned around and saw Cen Ning panting. He frowned. “What are you in a hurry for?”

“You are waiting…”

Yan Xingzhi was silent. He stepped forward and pulled up her heavy backpack. “Let’s go eat.”

Cen Ning felt as if she was being carried away. “We’re having dinner so late?”

“You haven’t eaten yet.”

“I’m not hungry……”

Yan Xingzhi’s footsteps paused and he looked at her tiny figure. “I’m hungry. Can we go?”

“…… Yes.”

When they arrived downstairs at the company, Yan Xingzhi went to start the car, and Cen Ning was waiting at the entrance.

The group of colleagues also just came down.

“Cen Ning, where is that handsome guy?”

Cen Ning: “He went to start the car.”

“Oh~ that man is your boyfriend, right?!”

Cen Ning resolutely her head. “No.”

“So he’s not your boyfriend, but he came to pick you up so late, and he waited so long?”

“He… he’s a nice guy, but he’s not really my boyfriend.”

“Wow, then I really want to have such a male soulmate too.”

Suddenly, Liu Xin, who had been silent the entire time, sneered. “Come on Xiao Qi, we can’t turn all the men into our male soulmates.”

As soon as these words came out, the scene became a little awkward.

Liu Xin glanced at Cen Ning. “Hey, you said he was a neighbour when you were in the military camp last time. Your neighbour came to pick you up in the middle of the night. What a nice person.” 

“Military camp? That person is a military officer, f*ck. No wonder he’s so handsome!”

Another person on the side tugged at her and whispered, “Is this the time to talk about this…”

“Oh……”

Cen Ning stared at Liu Xin with a stony expression, and for the first time, her tone became hard. “What do you mean by that?”

“No meaning, I just think you’re powerful.” Liu Xin smiled. “Cen Ning, you dare to hook up randomly with a military officer. You have to be careful.”

“You—“

“Who told you she hooked up randomly?” Suddenly, a cold and hard voice interjected the conversation. Cen Ning turned to look, only to see that Yan Xingzhi had driven the car over. Who knows when he got out of the car, his facial expression was very stony.

“You have no right to make carping comments about her.” The tone was easy, but the people who listened were frank. Yan Xingzhi pulled Cen Ning to his side with one pull. “Why? A neighbour can’t be a boyfriend? Is it stipulated by law?” 

Liu Xin: “…”

“Pfft—” Someone sneered.

Liu Xin’s face turned red and white, apparently not expecting that Yan Xingzhi was really Cen Ning’s boyfriend.

As for Cen Ning, she froze for a while after hearing his words. The blood in her whole body seemed to have changed from a slow flow to rushing, and all of a sudden it rushed to her face.

“Let’s go.” Yan Xingzhi grabbed Cen Ning’s hand and walked in the car’s direction, and he was dissatisfied as he walked. “Didn’t I tell Yang Jiang to take care of you? Why are there such mediocre colleagues next to you?”

Cen Ning was already shocked by his words about being her boyfriend. What Yang Jiang? What the hell???

But the colleagues at the door were also shocked, Yang Jiang… That was their superior’s superior, Mr Yang.

Everyone suddenly turned and looked at Liu Xin, whose cheeks were white.

Fortunately, none of them were idiots and stood on Liu Xin’s team!
