My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 508 - 518: Accompany Me to a Banquet

"I’m sorry, but I’ve got plans tonight, no time." Shi Yi forced a smile.

"Then when does Miss Shi have time? You could inform me, and I can make arrangements accordingly."

"No need for that, Mr. Leng. I know you’re a busy man, no need to align with my schedule. Besides, we’re just in a business relationship, no need for this."

"Since it’s a business relationship, we should deepen our understanding of each other. Don’t you agree, Miss Shi?" The man looked at her deeply, his eyes smiling.

"If Mr. Leng is truly interested in understanding, it would be better to understand our company, which is the most important thing."

"Sometimes understanding a company can be as simple as understanding its head. In fact, knowing Miss Leng means knowing Lei Man."

The man always had a way of making things sound reasonable. Even though Shi Yi’s patience had long worn thin, she couldn’t find an excuse to refuse him at the moment. Just as she was struggling to get away, her phone suddenly rang in her bag, saving her.

"Sorry, I need to take this call." Shi Yi took out her phone and walked to the side.

The call was from Feng Chengyu. Shi Yi stared at the phone screen for a few seconds, hesitated, but eventually answered. No matter what Feng Chengyu’s purpose for calling was, it was more important to get rid of Leng Yixiu first.

"Do you have any plans for tonight?" Feng Chengyu never beats around the bush; he always gets straight to the point.

Shi Yi subconsciously glanced at Leng Yixiu not far away, "No, is there something?"

"Accompany me to a banquet tonight."

"A banquet?"

"You’ll know when you get there. My driver will pick you up later."

"This... Mr. Feng, can I not go? After all..." She’s not his official girlfriend. If she did go, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Unexpectedly, before she could finish, Feng Chengyu hung up. Soon after, the phone emitted the sound of a disconnected line.

Shi Yi was a bit speechless. What the hell is with Feng Chengyu? Does he even understand basic manners and respect? At least let her finish speaking before hanging up.

However, Shi Yi was not at all surprised by Feng Chengyu’s behavior. That man is too domineering, too self-righteous, like a tyrant who does whatever he wants without asking anyone’s opinion.

Seeing Shi Yi hang up the phone, Leng Yixiu approached, asking seriously, "Has Miss Shi encountered any trouble?"

Shi Yi suddenly snapped back to her senses and realized she still had Leng Yixiu to deal with. Her eyes shifted, a flash of cunning passing in her eyes. Might as well use Feng Chengyu to get rid of Leng Yixiu.

"Well, Mr. Leng, I have some matters to handle soon, so I must excuse myself. If you have any questions about the cooperation between Leng’s and Lei Man, you can ask Shen Xu, the person in charge in T City. Shen Xu will surely help you with everything."

Shi Yi successfully passed the buck to Shen Xu, confident that the sly Shen Xu could handle Leng Yixiu.

Leng Yixiu did not directly respond to Shi Yi’s suggestion. He merely smiled at her and said, "Since Miss Shi has important matters later, I will not disturb you. Whenever you have time in the future, let me know, and I will arrange our next meeting."

Arrange your head!

Shi Yi cursed inwardly, but outwardly she was all smiles, "Of course, certainly."

"With Miss Shi’s promise, I am assured." The man looked at her deeply, seeming to imply something.

His eyes smiled deeply, an elegant smile with hidden meanings. For some reason, Shi Yi felt like she had fallen into a trap but wasn’t sure where the problem lay.

However, she had no time to think about it as she noticed a conspicuous long Lincoln not far from the signing ceremony. Shi Yi’s face changed slightly, cursing silently. Damn it, Feng Chengyu’s driver sure was efficient.

Checking her phone, only five minutes had passed since the call ended until Feng Chengyu’s driver arrived. Could it be that Feng Chengyu was nearby just a moment ago?

Even if she hadn’t agreed to Feng Chengyu earlier, upon seeing the long Lincoln, Shi Yi lost her resolve and left the signing ceremony, walking towards the car, then opened the door and sat in the back seat. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

To her surprise, Feng Chengyu was also in the car, confirming her guess that he had indeed been nearby.

"Mr. Feng, you seem quite free lately," Shi Yi said, unwittingly voicing her thoughts. Realizing it too late, she knew she was in trouble.

Her tone was slightly mocking and displeased, expecting to face Feng Chengyu’s usual stern demeanor. To her surprise, the man simply smiled slightly.

"I have been quite free lately."

His casual response almost made Shi Yi fall out of her seat. She stared at Feng Chengyu like a monster as his alluring lips suddenly moved again.

"I’m on vacation lately."

Vacation?

No wonder he had been appearing in T City so often. This was unusual as she had heard from Chu Yan that her boss was a complete workaholic, working 360 out of 365 days a year, and half-working the remaining days. So hearing Feng Chengyu being on vacation surprised Shi Yi.

Did the sun come out from the west?

"Mr. Feng, how long do you plan to stay in T City this time?"

The man suddenly looked at her, "Why? Do you have any plans, Miss Shi?"

"No...no, I don’t have any plans." Shi Yi smiled awkwardly, "I was just curious."

Curiosity was part of it; more importantly, she wondered if Feng Chengyu staying in T City implied she had to frequently go back to the mountain villa.

The thought of returning to the villa and acting in front of the elderly lady gave Shi Yi a headache. She was not good at deception, especially deceiving an eighty-year-old lady, which seemed morally wrong.

The man withdrew his gaze indifferently, ignoring her. To her surprise, he pulled out a thick book from somewhere. Shi Yi instinctively glanced at the book’s title, feeling a surge of astonishment.

Romeo and Juliet?

Feng Chengyu reads this? Isn’t this the kind of story only women read?

Shi Yi gave Feng Chengyu a strange look, profoundly feeling that this man’s thoughts were as unpredictable as the ocean, utterly inscrutable.
