Chapter 977: Chapter 977: Arrange for Someone to Watch Her

It felt like a century had passed before the distinguished man finally spoke, shattering her confidence, “I’m not interested.”

Not interested?

Chu Xi’s breath tightened, and she nearly lost control trying to fight for another chance. At this moment, Cui Jiangjing, who had stepped away for a while, came back, raising an eyebrow at them, “Why is the atmosphere so strange? What were you talking about?”

Li Shengxiao, with his hands in his pockets, quickly replied, “Nothing.”

“Oh.” Cui Jiangjing didn’t press further, turning to Chu Xi in the wheelchair, “It looks like you’re finished talking. Miss Chu, shall I take you back to the hotel now?”

Chu Xi took a deep breath, suppressing her impatience, reminding herself to take things step by step. After adjusting her state of mind, she no longer looked at Li Shengxiao and nodded, “We’re done here, we can go back to the hotel.”

“Alright, I’ll take you back.” Cui Jiangjing still had the spirit of a gentleman, taking the initiative to push the wheelchair-bound Chu Xi, and asked Li Shengxiao, “What about you, Shengxiao? Do you want a ride?”

Li Shengxiao was still holding his car keys, “No need, I’ll go back by myself.”

“You just…” He wanted to say that Li Shengxiao had just had so much blood drawn, and it hadn’t even been an hour; it wasn’t suitable for him to drive.

But he was cut off halfway through, “Just take her back, and let me know when you arrive. I’ll have Gu Ming call the hotel to arrange for a butler to go there.”

His attention was diverted to the butler, and with a flicker of surprise in his eyes, he said, “Didn’t I say I’d have my nanny go over…”

Shengxiao was acting so strangely today, taking the initiative to concern himself with another woman’s affairs.

And that woman was Chu Xi, with whom he shared an awkward status.

Li Shengxiao didn’t want to explain, simply stating, “She’s staying at the hotel; it’s more convenient for the hotel staff to take care of her.”

Chu Xi’s eyes flickered, knowing that this man suspected her because of what she had said earlier, and hence he arranged for someone to stay close and monitor her every move.

Her expression remained relaxed, not taking this to heart. She was not going to say or do anything reckless now that she was in Capital City. Even if Li Shengxiao stationed someone with her 24/7, she would only ‘borrow’ that watcher to further convince him of her innocence.

Cui Jiangjing was not a fool either. As soon as Li Shengxiao made the arrangement, he caught on, glancing at Chu Xi as if curious about what she had done in those few minutes to have Li Shengxiao openly assign someone to keep an eye on her. But it was none of his concern; he simply played the fool, “Since you said so, I won’t impose. I had my nanny make some pig trotter soup earlier; I’ll send it over and see if I can be of any help.”

After saying that, he pushed Chu Xi along, “Miss Chu, it’s getting late; let’s go. You need to rest well when you get back.”

“Okay.” Chu Xi turned to bid farewell to the noble man, “Then, Mr. Li, good night.”

Li Shengxiao didn’t wish her a good night, indifferently watching as Cui Jiangjing pushed her away.

Once they had left, he stood alone with the car keys, pulled out his phone, and checked it while walking out of the hospital.

There wasn’t a single message on his phone.

At one o’clock in the morning, he guessed that the little woman at home was already asleep, but having received no messages in two hours still left him feeling a blockage in his chest.

Li Shengxiao unlocked the screen, where there was a photo of a person’s side profile from a distance. Anyone familiar with Rong Yan’s face could definitely recognize it—the photo on his phone’s screen saver barely showed her face.
