C38 Meeting on a Narrow Path

Not long after the electric car drove off, Gu Yunfan suddenly opened his mouth and stopped. Shen Yeyan put on his hat once again. His eyes revealed a hint of displeasure as he said, "There's a lot of people here. Let's move somewhere else."

He looked into the distance, and just as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He looked gloomily at Qiao Xi, who was wearing a hat not too far away. He had specifically told her to rest at home before going out in the morning, but in the blink of an eye, he came over with a man to play tennis.

Anger welled up from the bottom of his heart and was about to spew out of his mouth.

Gu Yunfan didn't know what was going on. He sat back in his chair and urged the staff member in front of him, "Continue driving."

"Wait."

"What now?"

"Let's do it from here."

Gu Yunfan's lazy gaze instantly became shrewd, and he quickly got out of the car. His sharp eyes swept through the crowd in front of him, and he already knew the truth.

He had seen the photo of Qiao Xi long ago. Not only the photo, but even his family background had been flipped over. In the imperial city, no one could escape his eyes.

He looked at the man beside Qiao Xi with some interest.

When Shen Yeyan walked over in large strides, Qiao Xi didn't see him at all. Xu Yicheng saw him first.

Even if he was under the dim light that night, he would still remember Shen Yeyan's appearance.

"Yicheng, is it your turn?"

When Qiao Xi saw that he was standing still and rushing him a few times, she saw that his expression had changed and his eyes were fixated in another direction. She also looked over and saw Shen Ye An walking in big steps under the sunlight, followed behind him by a tall and sturdy young man.

Shen Yeyan also had a sullen expression on his face, as if he had come with ill intentions.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and wanted to go up and hold Xu Yicheng's hand, but he suddenly said coldly: "That person is your patient, right? Why don't you go greet him?"

"I didn't expect to meet him here."

Xu Yicheng saw the watch on Shen Yeyan's wrist. He had only seen a limited edition watch that was worth several million in the past. He lowered his eyes, looked at his watch, and quietly put it behind him.

Shen Yeyan's eyes were almost on fire, especially when he saw Qiao Xi holding Xu Yicheng's arm. His anger reached its peak.

Gu Yunfan, who was walking beside him, stroked his chin and laughed sinisterly. He glanced over with his hawk eyes and said, "Brother, don't look like you're raping someone."

Hearing this, he stopped in his tracks. The anger on his face did not dissipate, but rolled on the ground in front of his chest. "You shut up."

Gu Yunfan smiled even more wantonly, patting him on the shoulder a few times. "That's my boyfriend."

Shen Ye opened his hand angrily and quickly walked in front of him. Qiao Xi took a step forward and greeted, "Mister Shen, what a coincidence."

His sharp gaze swept over the silent Xu Yicheng. The sunlight was strong today, so he could see more clearly. Did Qiao Xi like this kind of pale-faced man?

"You were still home when I left, you were pretty quick."

Qiao Xi's heart skipped a beat, while Xu Yicheng subconsciously clenched his hand.

She had to smile. "It's rare to have time today, so I just came out to play with my boyfriend."

"Since you all know each other, then let's go together."

What was the meaning of this? Qiao Xi couldn't clearly feel it. His face was red as he stood awkwardly by the side. The sun shone brightly above his head. It was unknown whether it was because he was sunburned or because he was angry, but he felt a little dizzy.

Xu Yicheng stood to the side with a tense expression. His mind was filled with what Shen Yeyan had said just now: Qiao Xi was staying in his house tonight?

Living alone with a single man and a single woman, what was this?

Qiao Xi noticed that something was wrong with Xu Yicheng and tugged on his sleeve. "Yicheng, are you not going to fight?"

"Xi Xi, let's chat properly later."

"Alright."

After being exposed by Shen Yeyan today, who knew what kind of heart he had. She sighed as she watched Xu Yicheng play and failed to enter three times in a row. On the other hand, it was Shen Ye An who entered the hole.

Xu Yicheng's expression darkened even more. When he saw the smile on Shen Yian's face, he felt that the man's face was very familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen it before.

"Continue."

He relinquished the spot to himself. Xu Yicheng's face was burning, but he still didn't score even after a few shots.

Qiao Xi hurriedly went forward to stop him: "The sun is too high, there's no more fighting."

She found a way down for Xu Yicheng and he followed her.

When Shen Ye saw that they were about to leave, he suddenly threw his bat as well. Gu Yunfan watched in interest from behind him.

"Since we're not going to fight anymore, why don't we go back together?"

Qiao Xi was about to refuse when Gu Yunfan suddenly came over and grabbed Xu Yicheng's arm.

The man had a wide hand and was holding his arm tightly. Xu Yicheng couldn't break free, he knew that he was holding his acupuncture points, and the more he struggled, the more painful it got.

"Then let's go together."

Qiao Xi did not want to ride back with Shen Yeyan at all. He had a strong aura around him, plus that unfriendly friend of his had a savage look on his face.

On the way, Shen Ye An did not say anything. The friend beside him teased him for a bit before closing his mouth and continuing on their way without incident.

Qiao Xi didn't want to continue being with Shen Yeyan, and Xu Yicheng didn't want to do it either. He hurried to bring her along after the pleasantries.

Shen Yenan was about to follow up, but was stopped by Gu Yunfan. "Brother, why are you in such a hurry?"

"You don't understand."

"Why do I not understand? I didn't see that man's petty look."

Shen Yeyan's face was still as tense as ever as he watched them leave. Gu Yunfan placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "I'll give you that man's information."

He pursed his lips in a nonchalant manner. "No need."

"You really don't need it?"

After walking a few steps forward, Shen Yeyan turned his head and said with an expression of annoyance, "Hurry up and send it over."

"Right away."

When he changed his clothes, Shen Yeyan had already received detailed information. No one could stop Gu Yunfan's underworld forces in the imperial city. He coldly glanced at the pages, his thin lips curving upwards.

Qiao Xi was dragged all the way to the parking lot by Xu Yicheng. After getting on the car, she looked at the back of her hand, which was red from being grabbed. She put it down beside her silently.

Xu Yicheng's emotions were on the verge of exploding when he suddenly took off his watch and threw it into the drawer. He held the steering wheel tightly with both of his hands, while the veins on his hands bulged.

Qiao Xi took the initiative to explain: "That person is my patient. I signed an agreement with him to stay at his house for the time being in order to call him over during the treatment period. We'll move out after the treatment is over."

Xu Yicheng was adamant. "We'll move out today."

Qiao Xi looked out the window embarrassedly. From Xu Yicheng's angle, he knew what he was worried about.

"Alright, I will bring it up with him today."

"Xi Xi, just resign."

Xu Yicheng held her hand tightly, while his eyes were dark. "I don't want to see my girlfriend in contact with him."

"Why? Is it because he's rich and single? "

Due to Shen Yeyan's appearance today, she saw Xu Yicheng clearly. In his circle, her conditions were superior, and if there were others who were superior to her, then he would carry a strong sense of inferiority and jealousy.
