In order to take back the card spirit one day earlier, I made a secret contract with Si Di, agreeing that he would help me practice controlling the power of the card spirit. In exchange, I agreed to help Si Di do one thing. He didn't say what it was exactly, but he only made me promise. It was like signing an IOU for him to write. I actually had my doubts, but in order to become stronger as soon as possible, I agreed. The daily secret training was carried out behind Ah Wei's back. Because if he knew, he would definitely stop us. But I didn't expect that this would bring about very serious consequences!
The days passed like this. The training was carried out secretly. It was actually very simple. It was just some communication with the card spirit. If the card spirit trusted me a little more, I could control him a little more. Because I had very few card spirits, it went very smoothly. Although Ah Wei had some suspicions, he was fooled by us. He worked during the day and practiced at night. Gradually, he got used to such days. Until one day, Cheng Yang invited him again. It broke the peace again.
One day, when she was at work, she suddenly received a call from Cheng Yang. Actually, she was still hesitating whether she should answer it, but she couldn't help but control her hand and answer the call. After all, she had already promised Cheng Yang that she would have dinner with him.”
"Yiyi, it's me. You haven't been to the company recently. I asked Ellie. The person who sent the documents has changed.”
When I heard Cheng Yang's question, I thought that when I was on leave, a colleague took my place at Tiansheng. I quickly explained," No, no, I took leave because of something at home. I'll be the one to deliver the documents in the future!”
Although I didn't know why I had to explain to Cheng Yang, I didn't want him to think that we would never have the chance to meet again. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yang was even more direct than me. His tone suddenly became very happy and relaxed." That's good. I thought you wouldn't be responsible anymore! Oh right, let's have dinner together tonight. There's a restaurant that serves delicious steak. I specially made a reservation, but you weren't around, so it was postponed. Let's go tonight!”
I didn't expect Cheng Yang to be so direct. I was a little confused. Should I agree? On second thought, wasn't it just a meal? There shouldn't be any problem. Besides, Cheng Yang looked like a gentleman. He didn't look like a bad person. With that thought in mind, she agreed. The better, Cheng Yang would pick me up after work at night. It was already very convenient since it was just across the road.
I hung up the phone and wondered if I should tell Ah Wei about it, but I didn't. I'm an adult. It's not a big deal to have a meal with someone else. There's no need to report everything. I looked at my watch. It's almost time to get off work. I was about to pack my things when Cheng Yang's message came in a while, informing me that he was waiting downstairs.
Downstairs, Cheng Yang was standing by the car. I was in a daze. Thinking about how Ah Wei had been like this before, I inexplicably panicked. However, I told myself that I had a mission. I wanted to dig out the Cheng family and even the He family's big conspiracy from Cheng Yang. My heart instantly felt much more at ease!
Cheng Yang opened the car door and helped me put on the car roof like a gentleman. Then, he sat in the driver's seat and helped me fasten my seatbelt. I remember that Ah Wei did the same thing. I remember me. I blushed, but I had a feeling that Cheng Yang was a gentleman. It was just a habit and not just for me. On the way, Cheng Yang kept asking me about the recent events." Yiyi, I went on a business trip recently and didn't contact you. I only found out that you weren't around when I came back. Did something happen at home?"
"No, I just want to rest and go home to see my parents!”
"Are Yiyi's parents not in the city?”
"Yes, their B City is very close to here. It's about an hour's drive!”
"They're very filial children. What do they do?”
Cheng Yang's tone was never very smooth. Chatting with him was completely different from Ah Wei's. It was very comfortable, and it felt like they were having a casual chat. He could say a lot in a very calm manner." Dad and Mom are both ordinary employees who work in the medical department!”
Cheng Yang smiled and didn't ask any more questions. After driving for about five minutes, Cheng Yang drove the car into a small courtyard. After getting out of the car, he walked over to me and helped me open the car door. He helped me out and smiled." We're here. Please!"”
I followed Cheng Yang into the restaurant. It wasn't very big, but it was very unique. However, I found it strange. I thought it was a western restaurant when I heard that it was steak. After entering, I realized that it was a place for teppanyaki?
I was still studying the restaurant when I suddenly realized that it was very strange. The restaurant was empty. There were no other customers, but there wasn't even a waiter. I was about to ask Cheng Yang what was going on when I realized that Cheng Yang was gone as well. I was about to take out my phone to make a call when I saw Cheng Yang walk out from the back in a chef's uniform. He stood at the control desk in the middle of the night. I suddenly couldn't help but laugh and ask him," What are you doing?" Why were there no waiters or customers?”
"I opened this restaurant with a friend when I returned to China after graduating from university. It's a membership restaurant. Usually, we only serve friends. I specially brought you here today as if I was cooking for you personally.”
My face suddenly turned red. Shouldn't such a scene happen between a couple? If Ah Wei and I aren't considered a couple, then this is only the second time we've met Cheng Yang. Seeing my awkwardness, Cheng Yang immediately said," Don't feel burdened. Many of my friends have eaten the dishes I made personally. You're not the first. Today is my birthday. Just treat it as celebrating my birthday."”
"What is it? Why didn't you tell me earlier that it was your birthday? I didn't prepare a gift, but at least there's a cake.”
"No need. You can cook noodles for me later!”
Cheng Yang suddenly blinked mischievously, signaling me that he was ready to start. I saw him skillfully stir-frying the steak and some vegetables on the iron plate. From time to time, a big flame would fly up. I was shocked to see Cheng Yang's seriousness when cooking was completely different from when he was working, but they were both so charming.
"Eat it. Try it. Be careful, it's hot!”
I put Cheng Yang's beef in the nearest place. It's very tender and smooth. When I chew it, juice will flow out. It's really delicious!
"Delicious!"
Cheng Yang smiled when he saw my greasy face. He picked up a tissue and wiped it off for me." Yiyi, do you know? Actually, I've been paying attention to you since I was here?"
Hearing this, I looked at him in confusion. He had noticed me for a long time. When did we meet?
"The day your company won the project and signed the contract.”
" That day, I only went to take a look and then left. I didn't attend the meeting, but I saw a girl pouring water for a customer. In the end, she got herself a dress!"”
Heavens! It really was! " That day, I noticed you. I even sent someone to check your information, but I realized that it was different from what I thought.”
"You! Check my information?"
I was a little angry, but I couldn't bring myself to be angry anymore. I was still confused. Why did he notice me and why was he so curious that he wanted to investigate me? I originally thought that my contact with Cheng Yang would allow me to put everything aside and become another existence. However, what he said next had to pull me back to reality." Because I was so surprised when I first saw you. I have a photo of you in my house. You can also say that you look like someone in the photo in my house. It's so similar that people who don't know will think that it's the same person, and the person in the photo is my mother!”
What the hell! Cheng Yang's mother! I look exactly like the person in the photo. Shouldn't that person be Meng Yixuan? It wasn't just one person who said that I looked like my mother. But why did Cheng Yang say that I looked like his mother?
"Do you have a photo of your mother?"
Cheng Yang heard my question and nodded gently. He took out his wallet from his pocket and opened it. He took out a very small, slightly yellowed photo from the compartment. When I saw the photo, I felt dizzy. In the photo, it was clearly Cheng Tiansheng and Meng Yixuan. They were my biological parents. Cheng Yang, is Cheng Yang really my biological brother? That's impossible, because Si Di and Ah Wei's mother already told me very clearly that Cheng Yang has nothing to do with the Cheng family. But why would Cheng Yang say that she's his mother? Could it be that Cheng Tiansheng had made up such a lie?
I returned the photo to Cheng Yang and looked at him expectantly." I want to see Auntie. I wonder if there will be a chance in the future?"”
Cheng Yang smiled gently and shook his head. He thought for a few seconds before he said slowly," Yiyi, I've never seen my mother before. This photo is the only one. My father said that my mother died when I was very young, and this is the only photo of his face left in the family. I've liked to look at my mother's photo since I was very young. I fantasized about how it would feel to have him by my side. So, when I saw you, I was shocked. I thought... It was my mother who appeared in front of me with her own eyes!”
Hearing this, my heart suddenly turned cold. No wonder, no wonder the company would assign me to be an external contact. No wonder Cheng Yang was so enthusiastic the first time he saw me. No wonder he brought me here today. It turned out that I was thinking too much." So, this is why you approached me, right? You asked my parents and my family because of this, right?”
I asked coldly. At this moment, I really didn't want to stay any longer. All my fantasies were shattered because of Cheng Yang's words!
"No, it's not just that. Yiyi, I admit that I'm also very tempted by you.”
"Hehe, Cheng Yang, we've only met once. What's there to be moved about? You're the son of a rich family and the young master of a company. I'm just a child from an ordinary family, a simple working girl. Our worlds shouldn't have crossed paths. Thank you for bringing me to dinner today. Happy birthday. I think I should go!”
After saying this, I left without looking back. I went out and hailed a taxi. I didn't care about Cheng Yang chasing after me. In the car, Cheng Yang kept calling me. I didn't pick up. He sent me text messages one by one. I had no choice but to turn off my phone. I just wanted to go home quietly and have a good sleep. When I woke up, Cheng Yang's name would no longer appear in my life. I would apply to the company to change my job. If it didn't work, I would resign. I don't want such a scheming person by my side!
When I got home, I put down my bag, closed my eyes, and slowly recalled everything that happened today. I felt very annoyed and wanted to vent. I turned around and wanted to pack my things to go to the bookstore to continue my training, only to realize! My Horcrux was gone. I clearly remembered that I had always carried it with me. It was inconvenient for me to go to work, so I kept the Horcrux in my school bag. But now, after cleaning everything in my school bag, there was no trace of the Horcrux. I began to panic. I slowly recalled the places I had been to today and the things I had done. When I packed my things after work, it was still there. The only places I had been to were Cheng Yang's car and that restaurant. Oh right, the restaurant! Because I realized that there was no one in the shop, I let down my guard and threw my bag on the sofa at the side. Until the time before I left, my bag was always on the sofa behind me. In other words, it was out of my sight. I didn't know if someone or some force had touched my bag. However, when the Horcrux left my body, I would have sensed it. Why, why didn't I have any intuition? If I didn't think of looking for it, perhaps by now... I didn't even realize that I had lost the Horcrux! What was going on?
Could it be! 'Damn you, Cheng Yang, so your goal is to steal my soul tool. It seems that I've thought too simply of you. I've always thought that you wouldn't have anything to do with those dark forces, but you actually schemed against me like this. I won't let you off!'
I took out my spirit pendulum and sat quietly on the ground. I wanted to use the spirit pendulum's senses to find the soul tool's existence, but why? Why can't I sense the location of the soul tool at all? It's as if the soul tool has never appeared in my hands. No matter how I look for it, I can't find it. Have you isolated me from the Horcrux? Could it be Cheng Yang? Why? What do you want with my Horcrux?
However, no matter what your goal is, I won't let you succeed. Also, I will never fall in love with you in this life!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810: 41AM
