Temporary Husband: The Pregnant Wife Runs Away - Chapter 54
Chapter 54: Worried About Her
“Don’t drink on an empty stomach, we’ll drink to our hearts’ content later.”
Li Yunshen put the glass down and drank red wine instead.
Seeing that Ye Youyang only cared about eating, Guan Jinyan gave him a kick under the table.
The abalone that was beside Ye Youyang’s mouth fell, and he stared fiercely at Guan Jinyan, “Why am I always the one bearing the brunt of things? Are you our buddy?
Seriously, he was just enjoying his food!
The corner of Guan Jinyan’s mouth twitched. What an idiot!
“She won’t be back tonight,” Li Yunshen said of their purpose of coming here with an expressionless face.
“Haha… we just wanted to get to know her formally.” Guan Jinyan cleared his throat, hiding his awkwardness.
“Li, the weather outside is so bad, don’t tell me you left her at some deserted place and came back alone?”
Hearing Ye Youyang’s words, Li Yunshen paused for a moment and remained silent.
Guan Jinyan kicked Ye Youyang under the table again. It seemed like this jinx was right this time.
Tang Xin was like a bomb device that would detonate at the mention of her. As a result, this became the most dreary meal the three of them had ever had.
In the past, Li Yunshen would at least drink with them even if he was feeling gloomy, but today his silence was a little scary.
Half an hour later, the food was taken away, and the three men moved from the dining table to the bar.
At this time, the hour hand was pointing at eleven o’clock, but only one bottle of wine was opened on the bartop, and the three of them had not finished drinking this bottle.
They were here to accompany someone to get drunk. If the person they wanted to accompany wasn’t drunk but they got drunk instead, they would be embarrassed to call themselves his buddies in the future.
“Worried about her?” Guan Jinyan finally spoke to break the silence.
Li Yunshen took a glance at him, but still remained silent, and started downing the wine.
“Li, isn’t being late one time enough?”
Li Yunshen stopped pouring wine. This was what Guan Jinyan was like: his words seemed to be unfocused but they could strike right at one’s heart!
“The rain seems to be getting heavier, the wind is also getting stronger, and the temperature should have dropped by a few degrees.” Ye Youyang had always been good at adding fuel to the fire.
Li Yunshen poured himself another drink and seemed completely unaffected, but on closer look, his movements looked rushed, like he was looking for something to hide the fluster inside him.
That woman, she had asked for it!
Guan Jinyan had wanted to continue, but Li Yunshen’s mobile phone rang at the critical moment—it was Wen Xi.
“Boss, we caught someone in your office, would you like to deal with him personally?”
Li Yunshen hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “I’ll be there right away.” Then, he hurriedly walked towards the entrance hall.
He said to the two men before leaving, “Your guest rooms are still available.”
Looking at his back view leaving in a hurry, Guan Jinyan and Ye Youyang shrugged helplessly.
“I hope he will not regret it,” said Guan Jinyan.
“We can only pray that Tang Xin will still see the sun tomorrow.”
It was inconvenient for them to intervene in Li Yunshen’s affairs. Even if they brought her back without his permission, things would only get more complicated …
…
The exhausted Tang Xin tried to walk out of the cemetery, but there was no light on the hill and she couldn’t find the way out at all. The eerie and terrifying sounds of bugs and crows challenged her endurance.
If she hadn’t had terrible experiences, the kind that most people wouldn’t have had when they were children, she wouldn’t have been able to hold on until now.
The night was getting more frightening, and she began to feel her eyes turn blurry. Suddenly, “Beep beep…”
