Love Gambit: The Untouchable Tycoon is So Dangerous-Chapter 460 - 464: Starting to Feel Sorry for Him.
Didn’t sleep well last night, and today’s been quite busy, truly feeling a bit exhausted.
Turning and walking towards the bedroom while untying his tie, Xing Chen first placed his phone and watch on the bedside table, then turned and went to the bathroom.
At this moment, Ran Xiangsi, who was hiding in the bathroom, heard the familiar footsteps getting closer and closer, her heart jumped into her throat!
Really... what a narrow path for enemies to cross!
She hid here and still ran into Xing Chen?
Their fate is really too deeply entwined, isn’t it?
And now she was completely dressed like a maid, holding a mop in her hand. If they met face to face in the bathroom, wouldn’t he think she was deliberately hiding here to peep at him?!
He was already angry at her, if he caught her, who knows what kind of scene it would turn into...
The footsteps were still approaching, Ran Xiangsi could only hold her breath, constantly praying, don’t come, don’t come...
Perhaps God heard Ran Xiangsi’s prayers. Just as Xing Chen reached the bathroom door, just one step away from entering, the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
The melodious and deep jazz music swiftly spread in the not-so-small space, bringing a unique sense of emptiness and beauty.
Xing Chen did not hesitate and turned back to the bedside.
Hearing the footsteps receding, Ran Xiangsi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness he didn’t come in...
Xing Chen picked up the phone and saw it was Xiahou Chunyi calling.
He answered, his voice extraordinarily calm, "Hello?"
"You’ve arrived?" Xiahou Chunyi’s voice came through the phone.
"Yes. Resting on the second floor."
"Alright, I’m going to fetch Zhong Zhen." Xiahou Chunyi’s words were brief, and he quickly hung up the phone.
Xing Chen was not unfamiliar with the Zhong Zhen he mentioned.
The daughter of a high-ranking official in the political department.
Widely interested, adept at social interactions, especially in the political arena, skilled at maneuvering.
Zhong Zhen was personally selected by Xiahou Chunyi’s father to be his daughter-in-law, naturally one in a million, and capable of assisting Xiahou Chunyi in all aspects as much as possible.
Xing Chen had seen many such political marriages and had no aversion to them.
Putting down his phone, Xing Chen did not continue towards the bathroom.
His face showed no extra expression, sitting alone silently by the bed.
Ran Xiangsi waited for quite a while but didn’t hear any sound. Curiosity led her to cautiously peek by the door, looking out through the gap.
She immediately saw Xing Chen sitting by the bed.
His head was slightly lowered, eyelids downcast, his eyes hidden from view.
He looked extremely lonely sitting there alone at that moment.
Even the straight spine he always carried was now bent...
Watching him, Ran Xiangsi felt another pang in her heart.
Turns out, this man, who seemed like an emperor, had moments of lone sorrow too.
What was he thinking about at this moment?
What was troubling him?
Ran Xiangsi sighed softly, the resentment she held against him vanishing in an instant.
Unable to help herself, she started feeling sorry for him.
Just as Ran Xiangsi was relaxing her thoughts for less than a minute, Xing Chen lifted his head and slowly stood up.
Ran Xiangsi was startled, hastily recoiling back into the room!
After taking a short rest, Xing Chen once again stepped towards the bathroom.
Ran Xiangsi was thoroughly panicked this time, really fearing what she dreaded would happen!
With no other choice, she desperately hid behind the curtains!
Luckily, the bathroom here was large enough!
