My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 500 - 510: Iceberg Man

But, no matter how you look at it, the scenery here is still excellent. Because they had dinner early, they arrived at the beach just in time for the sunset. The afterglow of the sun shone on the clouds in the sky, dyeing the white clouds a beautiful orange-red. Looking out, the entire sky was a captivating red, stunningly beautiful. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

This scene was indeed enchanting, but Shi Yi naturally wouldn’t forget that there was a moving ice sculpture beside her. Wasn’t it true? Since earlier until now, this man’s expression had not changed at all; he remained as cold as ice, completely out of tune with the beautiful scenery before him. Coming to such a place with him was truly a waste of this fantastic view.

Feng Chengyu remained silent, and naturally, Shi Yi won’t initiate a conversation either, especially since she couldn’t think of any topic to talk about with him.

Their mutual silence made the atmosphere somewhat awkward, and time seemed to stretch indefinitely. To Shi Yi, this was no walk; it was clearly torture.

She idly sifted the white sand on the beach to pass the time. Seeing the sun finally dip below the horizon, she couldn’t help but feel a bit of joy.

"Um... Mr. Feng, it’s getting late, shall we go back?"

She waited for a long time, but the man didn’t respond. Running out of patience, Shi Yi looked up at him. From her angle, she could only see the man’s well-defined profile. The afterglow of the sunset softened the originally rigid contours of his face. Shi Yi had to admit that Feng Chengyu was indeed a stunningly handsome man.

Admiring aside, Shi Yi wasn’t about to be blinded by his looks; she had more pressing matters to address.

"Mr. Feng, it’s getting dark, shall we head back?"

This time, there was a slight change in the man’s handsome face, but instead of responding to her question, he unexpectedly asked, "Do you know Yixiu?"

Shi Yi felt a flash of surprise. Why would Feng Chengyu ask about that?

Still, she answered honestly, "I’ve met Leng Yixiu a few times, but we’re not close."

"Not close?"

Shi Yi noticed that he slightly furrowed his sword-like brows, seemingly not convinced by her words.

"Mr. Feng, you don’t believe those baseless gossip news, do you?" Although Shi Yi disdained explaining herself, she didn’t want to be unnecessarily linked to Leng Yixiu, especially after knowing his past.

The man’s thin lips pressed into a line, seemingly contemplating something. Shi Yi wondered if it was her illusion, but the cold lines of his handsome face seemed to have softened a bit. Unable to read his thoughts, she wisely decided to keep silent, though she couldn’t help feeling somewhat anxious.

She looked annoyedly at the distant horizon and sighed silently. When on earth would Feng Chengyu decide to leave? Surely he wasn’t planning to stay here overnight?

If he stayed, Shi Yi wouldn’t object or care, but she had no intention of accompanying him!

At that moment, the man beside her suddenly spoke, "Let’s go back."

Hearing this, Shi Yi felt like she was granted amnesty; he had finally come to his senses, and she no longer had to be with this iceberg. However, she seemed to have celebrated too soon.

When they returned from the beach to the villa, Old Madam Feng suddenly appeared in front of them and smiled at Shi Yi, saying, "Granddaughter-in-law, it’s already so late. Why don’t you stay over tonight?"

The joy Shi Yi felt earlier vanished like cold water splashing over her, extinguishing her elation. She naturally didn’t want to stay here overnight, so she hastily made up an excuse, "Um... Grandma Feng, there are still some matters at the company that need handling. I have to return to the office later; I’m afraid I can’t..."

Before she could finish, Old Madam Feng interrupted, "What is so urgent that it can’t wait until tomorrow? Can’t you handle it tomorrow? Listen to Grandma, stay here and rest well tonight. There’s always unfinished work, but this world will keep turning, and the sky won’t fall. Young people should be ambitious, but they also need to take care of themselves; otherwise, if you wear yourself out, it’s not worth it."

Listening to Old Madam Feng, Shi Yi felt things were not going well. Despite the old lady’s kind appearance, Shi Yi knew very well that she was very assertive at heart.

But Shi Yi had no way to deal with such an elderly person. At this rate, a few words from Old Madam Feng would leave her with no choice but to stay.

So, she cast a pleading glance at Feng Chengyu, hoping he would help her out.

Unexpectedly, Feng Chengyu not only refrained from helping but also lightly said, "Grandma is right."

Shi Yi stared at him in astonishment, feeling a surge of anger. She regretted putting her hope on Feng Chengyu. Hadn’t she learned her lesson last time? How could she expect anything from this unreliable man!

Forget it, since Feng Chengyu was unreliable, she could only rely on herself.

"Grandma, it’s not just work; I had also made plans with a friend before coming here."

"That’s not an issue. If it’s a friend, you can meet another day," Old Madam Feng said.

"But, she’s returning to the United States tomorrow."

Feng Chengyu stood aside, watching Shi Yi with an amused expression that seemed to say, "Keep fabricating; let’s see how far you can go."

"Oh... " Old Madam Feng frowned and paused, "That’s not a problem. I’ll have the driver bring your friend over."

Saying this, Old Madam Feng turned to Chu Yan and said, "Yanyan, go call Old Wang."

Seeing this, Shi Yi urgently stopped Chu Yan and turned to Old Madam Feng with a forced smile, "No need, no need. It’s too much trouble to get a car to pick her up. Actually... it’s not absolutely necessary for me to see her. I’ll tell her we can meet another day; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Really no need?" Old Madam Feng asked.

"No need, really no need," Shi Yi shook her head vigorously. If a driver went to fetch her friend, her lie would be exposed. Now she truly understood that lies should not be told lightly.

"So, you’re staying here tonight?"

"Alright, I’ll listen to you," Shi Yi said, feeling like crying. Could she afford not to listen to Old Madam Feng? Compared to the old lady, she was helpless, completely defeated!
