The Villainous Celebrity Wife of the CEO - Chapter 145.2

The desolation of the desert, the loneliness of the border, the helplessness and hardship on the road to peace … were all told with the melody of the pipa.

The sound of the pipa fell from the roof, and the girl leaned in the hanging basket, as if she had really transformed into Zhaojun, who left the country alone a thousand years ago. She looked down at the pipa in her arms, and pumped all her feelings into her performance.

She had no time to pay attention to the way the staff spoke in whispers; she had no time to pay attention to the envious eyes of the other Little Flowers; she also did not notice the fiery eyes of the man who accompanied her across the ocean back to her country, fixed on her…

At 3 a.m., dark clouds covered the bright moon, and cold wind sent gusts of chilly air.

There were still program rehearsals in the studio, but Su Jin had already changed out of her stage costume and into the clothes she came in. She walked quickly out of the station under Lin Yan’s escort.

There was a familiar nanny car parked outside the TV station, a smooth and spacious model. Su Jin used to work too hard and often did not get enough sleep, so she had to catch up on sleep in the car.

The door of the nanny car opened and Fang Xie, who was waiting inside, got out and welcomed her. He had just finished socializing and reeked of cigarettes and alcohol, which was particularly irritating.

“Sister Su!” Fang Xie’s tipsiness had not yet dispersed. His face and ears were red, and he asked attentively, “I heard the Director say that you..Were you deliberately hiding your clumsiness to give me a surprise? When did you practice the pipa? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?” The time he spent eating badly and sleeping poorly during this period had shed a handful of hair from worry.

However, Su Jin did not answer. She only lightly glanced at him and boarded the nanny car.

Behind him, Lin Yan quickly followed. Su Jin silently got into the car, and the man then lowered his head to get into the car as well.

“Eh-eh-eh! What are you doing, ah?!” Although Fang Xie was slightly drunk, it wasn’t to the point of losing his mind. He hurriedly stopped the tall and strong man and asked sternly, “This is Su Jin’s nanny car. Please leave.”

He took Lin Yan as a rabid fan trailing behind and immediately raised his single chest trying to push the man away.

Su Jin’s soft voice came from inside the car in time, “Fang Xie, let him get in.”

“…” Fang Xie looked at the man and then at Su Jin with incomprehension: “…Who is this one?”

Was he a hitchhiker, or one of the other guests on the same stage? But looking at the man’s appearance and dress, he didn’t look either of the two.

But neither Su Jin nor Lin Yan answered him.

Fang Xie could only suppress the questions in his heart and sat in the car silently.

The car door closed, and only the small light overhead remained in the dim carriage. The dim light fell on Su Jin’s face, adding a touch of restrained elegance to her delicate face.

…Restrained elegance?

Fang Xie immediately flung this terrible adjective out of his mind. How could such a sissy word be used to describe Sister Su who walked the world with a hammer?!

He looked at Su Jin, and then at the man who remained silent and sitting upright. He gave off the impression of a large beast locked in a cage, exuding a trace of danger from his tailbone straight to the sky.

Too, too strange!

He gulped and spoke carefully in the swaying car: “Sister Su, you…” Why do you look a little different today?

But before he could finish his words, Su Jin interrupted him.

“Fang Xie, you never used to call me ‘Sister Su’.”

“Wh…?”

‘Su Jin’ revealed a helpless smile and hesitated for a moment. Her pearly teeth bit her lower lip, and she suddenly raised her hand and took off the peaked cap on her head with a flourish! Like a waterfall, the girl’s hair cascaded down her shoulders and hung down to her waist.

This wasn’t Su Jishi’s hair at all! Su Jishi prefered a sharp, dashing style, with a cut just slightly above her shoulders.

“You, you are…” Fang Xie held his head, suspecting that he had drunk too much wine at tonight’s social gathering. The alcohol had wasted his sanity earlier and made him hallucinate.

The person in front of him had the exact same face as Su Jishi, with an extremely similar figure, but if she was not Su Jishi, then the only possibility was…

“——Long time no see.” “Su Jin’s expression was a mixture of guilt and heartache as she said softly, “I’m Su Jinqing, I’m back.”

“!!!” Fang Xie was shocked. A thousand words clogged his chest in an instant, but he didn’t know which one to say first.

Su Jinqing actually came back! Where exactly did she go during this time? Why couldn’t everyone find her? Why did she suddenly decide to come back? Was it because she saw Su Jishi’s news online? How come she didn’t wait for them at the company? What would she think about the farce the company orchestrated, swapping a racoon for a princess[1]…

…But answering these questions, there was a more important question…

Fang Xie’s throat rolled, and he blurted out —— “Then where is your sister?”

He didn’t expect that Su Jinqing would ask the same question—— “Then where is my sister?”

Both of them looked at each other.

Three seconds later, they read the same shock on each other’s expressions.

Su Jinqing had returned, but where was Su Jishi?

Where did Su Jishi, who suddenly disappeared from the rehearsal stage, go?
