Love Gambit: The Untouchable Tycoon is So Dangerous-Chapter 419 - 423: Also Took Up the Role of Eavesdropping by the Doorway

Ping’an also knew what had just happened in the control center.

He had followed Xing Chen in, so naturally, he was well aware of the seriousness of the situation.

That’s why he spoke up to stop Xiahou Chunyi.

Xiahou Chunyi came looking for Xing Chen also because of Ran Xiangsi, and he knew that Ping’an wasn’t someone who couldn’t read the room. Since Ping’an came forward to say those words, it indicated that something had indeed happened between Xing Chen and Ran Xiangsi.

"What could possibly happen between them?" Saying this, Xiahou Chunyi took a few steps forward, quietly stood by the door, and listened intently.

When Ran Xiangsi and Xing Chen entered the room, both of their moods were somewhat heavy, and neither thought to close the door, so it was left slightly ajar, providing a perfect spot for Xiahou Chunyi to eavesdrop!

Ping’an stood to the side, watching Xiahou Chunyi’s obvious eavesdropping stance, and couldn’t help but twitch his eyes.

He was drunk, a dignified presidential candidate, actually... sneaking around to eavesdrop by the door?

However, this thought could only stay in his mind; Ping’an did not step forward to stop Xiahou Chunyi.

After all, this was Xing Chen’s elder brother, better not to interfere...

As for the two who had just walked into the office...

Xing Chen stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass window, hands behind his back, looking down at the crowds beneath, his sharp eyebrows slightly furrowed, exuding a cold and rigid aura.

He didn’t speak. Perhaps he was used to silence, or maybe he was just waiting for Ran Xiangsi to speak first.

The silence of the man in front made Ran Xiangsi’s heart feel as if it was being gripped by an invisible hand, the pain was intense.

The days spent by the riverside had hardly brought them closer, but it felt like as soon as they returned to the city, they grew distant and remote again.

Ran Xiangsi bit her lip, sighed quietly, and then raised her eyes to glance at Xing Chen’s profile. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

He stood diagonally above her, so when she looked up, she could just see his side profile.

Handsome, aloof, chiseled features, distant and indifferent.

This was the change in him after returning to the Emperor, a stark contrast to the gentleness and leisure by the riverside.

She was the same.

By the riverside, she was lively and cute, doing things however she liked, that’s why she loved traveling so much.

Visiting another place really allowed her to let go of everything, becoming carefree and unrestrained.

But after coming back, it felt like all the shackles and burdens returned, pressing down on her to the point where she could hardly breathe.

She thought, Xing Chen must feel the same way, right? So she didn’t blame him; instead, understanding that his feelings might be similar to hers, she felt even more heartbroken for him.

How could she bear to hurt him?

But, as for the master...

"Don’t call the police." She hesitated for a long time before finally saying those five words.

"Reason." Xing Chen’s response was quick, as if he hadn’t been staring out the window in a daze but had been holding his breath, waiting for her answer the entire time.

His relentless pressure left her no room to resist.

Ran Xiangsi’s hand, hanging by her side, tightened slightly, and she spoke with some difficulty, "I can’t tell you the reason for now..."

Hearing Ran Xiangsi’s response, Xing Chen actually felt a bit disappointed.

They had once promised never to conceal or deceive.

She was the first to break that promise, blatantly hiding something from him...

Xing Chen fell silent once again.
