Chapter 1336: 1336

Cen Xi sat on the bed and stared at the photo in her hands. As she looked, her eyes started to turn red unconsciously.

If her older sister was still alive, she would convince her older sister to turn herself in. Then, she would cut all ties between Qiao Yanze and her, quit her job as the assistant of the Queen’s main interpreter and leave the Capital.

In her daze, Cen Xi’s phone started ringing.

Without glancing at the caller ID, she answered the call. “Hello…”

“Did you cry?” A man’s low and calm voice trailed from the other end of the call. Cen Xi froze for a few seconds before she regained her senses and hurriedly composed herself. “No, you heard wrong.”

“Where are you? Are you back at the Capital?”

Cen Xi bit her lip. “I’m still with my relative in Feng City. I’ll return to the Capital tomorrow afternoon.”

“Where in Feng City?”

Cen Xi’s heart couldn’t help but tense.

Why was he asking about her whereabouts?

However, another thought that he was merely just asking flashed in her mind, so she answered simply, “I’m at Feng City’s hotel.”

After she was done answering, he hung up.

Cen Xi stared at her phone for a few seconds. This person was really weird and had a bad temper!

The day had been exhausting for her, so she fell asleep within seconds. Just as she was delirious with sleep, she heard her phone ring again.

She hated being woken up when she was sleeping, so she hurriedly pressed her phone. The ringing stopped and she went back to sleep.

However, very quickly, her phone started to ring again.

She found her phone with her eyes shut, answered the call and snapped impatiently, “Who is it calling so late at night? Can’t I even sleep?”

“Come down.” The man’s hoarse voice rang calmly from the other end of the call.

Cen Xi froze for a moment. When she regained her senses, she sat up on her bed hurriedly.

Come down? Where did he want her to go?

Seeing that Cen Xi was silent, the man on the other end of the call started to become more impatient. “I’m downstairs in Feng City’s hotel.”

“What?” Cen Xi jumped out of her bed and her eyes widened in disbelief.

“Don’t be too surprised. I happened to have something to do in Feng City.”

Cen Xi’s hold on her phone tightened. She never thought he would go to Feng City’s hotel. She didn’t even know where he was. How was she supposed to go down?!

Sh*t. It required at least forty minutes for her to arrive at Feng City’s hotel from Lake Lin.

Cen Xi bit her lip, forcing herself to calm down. “I’m sleeping already. You should go and rest early as well!”

The other end of the call fell silent.

Cen Xi planned to hang up quietly, but the man’s voice rang darkly, “Cen Xi, you’ve learned to lie to me now, haven’t you? You’re not at the Feng City hotel!”

Having been growled at like this, Cen Xi couldn’t help but panic.

Right now, he was the big hero of the northern unrest. It was extremely easy for him to go into the hotel and ask for her particulars.

“So what if I’m not there? Why are you so fierce? Where I’m staying has nothing to do with you!” She knew exactly why he was looking for her in the middle of the night!

Hearing her words, the man chuckled coldly. “When that little girl’s father arrived at the safety camp, he left a copy of his identity card. Do you want me to find him and ask him where he took you?”

“Qiao Yanze, there is no relationship between us. You don’t have the right to disturb my friend.” The little girl’s father was an honest man who saw her as a friend and had kindly taken her to Lake Lin. She didn’t want to implicate others for her personal matters.

Hearing Cen Xi protect that man so fiercely, Qiao Yanze chuckled darkly. His low and sexy voice sounded even colder. “Does sleeping together not mean anything? Cen Xi, when have you become such a bad woman?”

Cen Xi quipped immediately, “That’s rich, you’re calling me a bad woman? Then what are you? You’re the one that doesn’t want to take responsibility.”

“If I do, would you dare to marry me?”

Cen Xi was silent.

Qiao Yanze fell silent as well.

After nearly a minute, Qiao Yanze finally said, “I want to see you tonight. If you don’t come, I will find a way to find you.”

Cen Xi cursed softly and hung up the call.

She paced around the room in panic and frustration, before she packed her things. After informing the farmer couple about it, she took a taxi and headed towards Feng City’s hotel.

There was absolutely no way Qiao Yanze could find out about her coming to Lake Lin to find her older sister.

When she was almost at Feng City’s hotel, Cen Xi got out of the taxi. From afar, she saw the man smoking in front of the hotel.

Once Qiao Yanze was done showering, he called for someone to deliver supper to them. He was very picky when it came to food, so he had called the best restaurant to deliver food.

After he placed the food on the table and glanced at the focused Cen Xi, he walked behind her. He bent down and pressed his lips against her ears. “Do you want to eat something?”

Cen Xi was currently focused on work. The sudden warmth by her ear suddenly caused a shiver to run down her spine, her heart thumping faster unconsciously. “You can eat. I don’t want to.”

Qiao Yanz glanced at Cen Xi’s fair side profile. “I’m only asking you to eat. Why is your face so red?”

“You were breathing by my ear, but I remained unmoved. Doesn’t this mean that you’re too boring?”

When he heard her response, Qiao Yanze chuckled and pinched her cheek. “You’re really cheeky. Why didn’t I realize this before?”

Then he sat down and stared at Cen Xi as he ate. “To be honest, why did you come to Feng City?”

Cen Xi’s heart started to thump crazily.
