Chen Xi shouted loudly from behind Ah Mu, but Ah Mu walked away without turning his head back.

"What are you doing?" Why did he have to do that to Ah Mu, what fault does he have? " Chen Xi asked in dissatisfaction.

In the past three years, she had cut off all contact with the country, including news of him, of course.

"What's wrong? Are you scared? " Tang Hongbo could not help but ask when he saw her in a daze.

Hearing that, she looked at him. It was clearly a familiar face, a pretty face, and a handsome appearance. However, she suddenly felt that he was also a stranger.

This unfamiliarity was because of the way he treated Ah Mu. Only then did she feel a little bit better.

Aside from the familiar aura on his body, there was also a dangerous aura. She subconsciously felt that this man had become very dangerous and shouldn't be someone she could go near.

However, she was fascinated by him. He had clearly said to stay away, even though he had already planned everything beforehand, but it still couldn't compare to his gentle and gentle attitude.

Even if he was dangerous, he was someone she had always loved. Later on, she understood that whatever the plan was, whatever it was that no longer had to do with him, when she met him, it would all become empty talk.

"Xi Xi, I know I look good, but why do you keep staring at me?" Tang Hongbo suddenly reached out and rubbed the top of her hair.

Even if she was narcissistic, like him, she was still hopelessly in love with him.

"Take me home." Chen Xi suddenly laughed.

"Alright."

Tang Hongbo said as he stood up and bent down to pick her up. She did not struggle, and allowed him to hold her.

Only now did she properly experience the warmth in his embrace, it was still that familiar warmth that she hadn't felt in a long time.

This man who had deceived her, tortured her, and humiliated her, this man who had been easy to anger, irritable, and as cold as frost, had now become so gentle.

"Actually, you already knew, right?" Chen Xi suddenly asked softly.

Tang Hongbo suddenly tightened the grip that was holding her. Although it was fleeting, Chen Xi still felt it.

Sure enough, he knew.

She suddenly felt a little nervous and regretful that she had asked him so carelessly and carelessly.

She looked at Tang Hongbo, but didn't see any change in his expression.

As if he hadn't heard her words, he continued to hug her steadily.

Chen Xi lowered her head. It was still a bit awkward, she had never felt that the corridor of the hospital was this long.

Actually, both of them understood her in their hearts. Chen Xi knew that he knew her secret and Tang Hongbo also knew what she meant just now.

Looking at her silent lowered head, Tang Hongbo couldn't help but give a gentle smile. Even if there were more tomorrow or in the future, as long as she was peacefully staying in his embrace, he would have the courage to face everything.

She had been his weakness and his armor, and she still was.

He was happy that the person he fell in love with was no other than her, and that she had unerringly let her fall into his hands.

He had given his youth to the family, and she had given it to him. Although it was not her wish, he would do it again if he had to.

As the black wheels turned on the quiet road in the middle of the night, Chen Xi looked at Tang Hongbo who was quietly driving and suddenly thought of the matter that she had to confess to Duan Wenyu today.

She really wanted to tell him what had happened three years ago, but she didn't know how to begin.

Just as she was thinking about it, a burst of music suddenly sounded out. She saw that Chen Yiran's name was displayed on the car screen, and she couldn't help but look at Tang Hongbo strangely.

Tang Hongbo was calm and collected. Reaching out his hand to press the answer button on the car screen, Chen Yiran's anxious voice suddenly came over.

"Tang Hongbo, is Xi Xi with you?"

Tang Hongbo glanced at her, and then nodded.

Chen Yiran sighed a breath of relief on the other end of the phone, and then asked.

"What about her?"

Tang Hongbo said to her in a low voice.

"Tell him."

Chen Xi laughed, and then asked Chen Yiran who was on the other end of the phone.

"Brother Yiran, what's wrong?"

Chen Yiran was silent for a moment, as though he was mulling over something. Just when Chen Xi thought that she had disconnected, Chen Yiran's furious voice came out from the other side of the phone.

"Chen Xi, where did you go today? Ah Hao and your son are almost going crazy trying to find you. Don't you know how to make a call back? " Chen Yiran sounded like he was really angry.

Chen Xi said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sorry, I forgot. I'll call back right away."

"You forgot your son, why don't you forget yourself? "You …" Tang Hongbo suddenly reached out and hung up the phone, stopping Chen Yiran's irritation.

Chen Yiran held his phone, Hey, hey, a few times, and realized that he had hung up.

He threw the phone on the bed.

"You actually dared to hang up on me." He was naturally talking about Tang Hongbo.

"Hmph, if my cousin doesn't curse you, it would already be considered giving you face." Meng Qingxia snorted coldly.

Chen Xi saw that before Chen Yiran could finish, Tang Hongbo had hung up and she looked at him in puzzlement.

"Why are you hanging up?"

"I haven't been magnanimous enough to listen to others scolding my wife while remaining indifferent." Tang Hongbo said indifferently.

Chen Xi's face suddenly turned hot, but then she thought of a way to call Han Hao.

However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find his phone.

Seeing Chen Xi suddenly rummaging through her bag and pockets, Tang Hongbo could not help but ask.

"What are you looking for?"

"Mobile phone, did you see my phone?" Chen Xi asked without raising her head.

"Nope."

"Strange, what about my phone?" Chen Xi rummaged through her bag with her head down.

Tang Hongbo dialed Chen Xi's number, but there was a notification sound of someone turning off their phone.

"Why did it turn off? I remember it's still full?" Chen Xi was a little confused.

"Did he lose it?" Tang Hongbo asked softly.

After being reminded by Tang Hongbo, Chen Xi suddenly remembered that ever since she was in a car accident, she had not touched her phone.

"Stop the car." Chen Xi suddenly shouted loudly.

Tang Hongbo was startled, and immediately stopped the car. Seeing that Chen Xi's complexion was not good, he anxiously asked.

"What's wrong? What happened? "

"Phone." Chen Xi muttered to herself.

Tang Hongbo heaved a sigh of relief and comforted gently.

"It's just a phone. Tomorrow, ask Secretary Wang to buy another one for you."

Chen Xi shook her head. No, she had to find her phone, and there was even the recording of her and Duan Wenyu's conversation. This was evidence that she had gotten with great difficulty, she could not lose it no matter what.

"Drive. Go to the place where I got into the car accident at night." Chen Xi urged.

"Where to?" Tang Hongbo did not understand.

"Don't ask, hurry up and drive. I'm going to look for my phone." Chen Xi asked anxiously.

"Even if I left it there, I wouldn't be able to find it now." Tang Hongbo said in amusement.

"No, I must get it back. Go quickly." Tang Hongbo couldn't help but ask when he saw Chen Xi sticking to her phone.

"Is the phone that important?"

"Yes." Chen Xi almost blurted out loudly.

"Why is it important?" Tang Hongbo asked.

"Because there's..." Chen Xi suddenly stopped talking.

"What is it?" Tang Hongbo asked.

Chen Xi sighed.

"It's nothing, just some photos." Chen Xi lowered her head and said.

Tang Hongbo suddenly laughed.

"Is that my picture?"

Chen Xi was startled, and raised his head to look at him.

"What did you say?"

"Didn't you say the pictures? It's said that you have quite a few photos of me on your phone, and they were all secretly taken? " Tang Hongbo suddenly looked at her in ridicule.

She wanted to immediately open the door and jump down. She felt that falling to her death was better than losing her face here, but she was helpless and afraid of pain.

She felt both awkward and at a loss for what to do. She could only silently call her son a traitor in her heart. If it were left in the ancient times, he would be a traitor to the enemy.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was so shy that she almost buried her head under the seat, Tang Hongbo intentionally held back his laughter and asked.

"It's fine, it's fine." Chen Xi waved her hand without raising her head.

"Isn't it just some photos? I'll let you take enough pictures tomorrow. I guarantee that it will be an original map of high definition and no codes, so let's not go and look for it, okay? " Tang Hongbo said gently.

After Chen Xi heard this, she quickly raised her head and spoke in a serious tone.

"No, I have to look. Even if I can't find it, I have to take a look."

Tang Hongbo laughed.

"So it turns out that Xi Xi likes to hide things?" Tang Hongbo continued to ridicule him.

"Enough, are you done yet, Tony, the traitor?" Chen Xi gritted her teeth.

Tang Hongbo smiled and turned the car around.

A cold wind blew and swept away the leaves on the parasol trees on the road. Chen Xi lowered her head and searched around the empty crossroads and greenery.

Tang Hongbo saw that she was bent over looking for him, his gaze gentle and loving as he leaned on the carriage.

His thoughts drifted back to three years ago, when he had vowed to protect her, but he had broken his promise.

In this era where the word promise was just a few strokes on a piece of paper, he didn't think it was that important until he met her.

She said that he wanted her to become a better person, someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but before she could do so, she had already disappeared. By the time she became a better person, someone who could stand beside him, she no longer knew him …

That was what he had thought the night he first saw her three years later.

He blamed all his mistakes, all his puzzlement, all his anger, all his unwillingness on her.

He didn't understand why she had left him. Without any warning, and without leaving a single word, she had disappeared for three years. He had also suffered for three years.
