100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 577: Led by the Nose

Tang Yu’s face didn’t look too good, "I know, no need to remind me."

"Um... what about the thing you promised me?" Xie Anan asked tentatively.

"What thing?"

"You promised that if you couldn’t win over Leng Jing after returning to the country, you would marry me! What, planning on going back on your word?"

It had been a joke at the time; he hadn’t expected she would still remember it.

Tang Yu furrowed his brows slightly, then smiled, "As the grand Miss Xie, do you need to be my backup?"

Xie Anan looked serious, "But I only like you! Tang Yu, you know it, I have never forgotten you!"

Tang Yu started to feel a headache coming on; he had chosen Xie Anan for this play-acting because they were quite familiar with each other. In Milan, they had interacted purely as friends, uninhibitedly and safely, without any trouble. He hadn’t expected it would turn out to be more troublesome in the end.

At that moment, Tang Yu noticed the staff bustling about, moving things, and to change the subject, he casually asked, "What’s happening?"

The staff member answered, "It started raining suddenly outside! So we’re moving all the decorations from the entrance inside!" freewebnσvel.cøm

"Is that so?" Tang Yu walked out of the changing room at his own pace.

Xie Anan followed him out, and just then, lightning struck, followed by a rumbling thunder, causing Xie Anan to exclaim in shock and jump into Tang Yu’s arms, "Such heavy rain! I had no idea from inside the building!"

As the staff member brought in the last fluorescent sign, they added, "The weather forecast said there would be a storm today, and even a typhoon! You two should head back after trying on the clothes; if it gets too late, it might not be safe!"

"Tang Yu, let’s go back! Tang Yu! Tang Yu? What are you thinking?" Xie Anan waved her hand in front of Tang Yu, who was staring out the window, lost in thought.

Tang Yu’s expression was tense, "What about City C?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Anan’s face fell, obviously because Tang Yu was worried about Leng Jing.

"There’s nothing to worry about! Even if the weather is bad there too, she’s not a child; can’t she find a place to stay for the night before coming back? You’re always like this, not considering whether she appreciates it or not! Besides, don’t forget your plan. You can’t let her have you wrapped around her finger all the time!"

Xie Anan was still rambling in dissatisfaction when Tang Yu had already unhesitatingly dialed Leng Jing’s number.

He could lie to her, test her, but everything had to be based on the premise that he would not hurt her. That was a principle that nothing else could break.

"Hey, Little Jing! How is it on your end?"

"Don’t worry, the contract has been signed smoothly!"

"I’m not talking about that!"

"Hmm?"

"Is it raining there? Where are you now?"

"Yes, it’s raining heavily! I just left the hotel and was about to head back."

"Are you alone?"

"Yes. What’s up?"

"The streets there are not easy to navigate, and now it’s dark. Better come back tomorrow!"

Leng Jing pondered, "I’m afraid that won’t work. The rain just started not long ago, so the roads are still passable, but if I wait until tomorrow, they might close the roads. By then, not only will I not be able to come back for a while, but also, no vehicles will be able to get out! The contract is with me! I won’t talk much now, I’m about to drive..."

"Wait! Go back to the hotel, right now! I’m coming to pick you up." Without waiting for Leng Jing to respond, Tang Yu had already hung up the phone, his tone as firm as cutting iron, leaving no room for refusal.

It was the first time Leng Jing heard him speak to her with such a commanding tone, and she was taken aback for a long while, followed by a surge of warmth in her heart and concern for him.
