Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 38 Let’s stop here

Min Jiangyue was very angry, "Whatever you want, I don't care about you!"

No wonder the abbot said that his bumpy relationship was all his fault!

When Xi Jinbai came out of the room, his phone vibrated, and he took it out and took a look.

Sang Yu: [When are you free? Let’s talk in person. 】

Xi Jinbai replied to her: [I will return to Hong Kong Island tomorrow. 】

Sang Yu: [Okay. 】

Sang Yu spent a lot of effort to type the word "good" lightly.

Insomnia makes it difficult to fall asleep in the middle of the night.

As a result, my face looked haggard the next morning, and I could only cover it up with makeup.

Xi Jinbai arrived at the company in the afternoon.

The front desk sent a message to the company's small group: [Mr. Xi is coming to the company! Cheer up, everyone! 】

The news spread like wildfire, and soon every department knew about it.

Xi Jinbai was in meetings all afternoon and had many things to hand over. He didn't finish his work until the evening.

Sang Yu sent a message to Sang Fengping in advance saying that she would not go back tonight. Sang Fengping knew that she was sensible, so she did not ask why.

After get off work, she went to the apartment in Binjiang Garden to wait for Xi Jinbai to come back.

At half past seven, there was the sound of the door opening at the entrance.

A familiar figure appeared, wearing a well-tailored suit, with a black trench coat on his arm, and half of his body was hidden in the light.

Sang Yu was in a daze, as if he hadn't seen her for a long time.

It has indeed been more than half a month. Last week when he met her at the dinner party, she did not raise her head to look at him.

Xi Jinbai casually put his coat on the sofa and asked her, "Have you had dinner?"

Sang Yu shook his head.

She hasn't been back here during this time, and naturally her aunt didn't come to cook.

Xi Jinbai loosened his tie and said, "Let's eat first."

"Didn't you eat too?" Sang Yu asked in a low voice.

Xi Jinbai said softly "Hmm".

"Then I can order takeout, okay?" Sang Yu asked for his opinion.

Xi Jinbai unbuttoned his shirt and said, "Okay, I'll take a shower first."

Sang Yu picked up his phone and opened the takeout app, and ordered a few meals according to Xi Jinbai's taste.

About half an hour later, the takeout was delivered, and Xi Jinbai came down from upstairs after taking a shower.

As usual, we sat at the table facing each other to eat.

It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of chewing clearly.

The aftertaste of mulberry was so overwhelming that I couldn't eat any more after less than half a bowl of rice.

After clearing away the leftover food, the restaurant fell into silence.

Sang Yu couldn't stand the atmosphere and broke out: "You are going back to Su City, right?"

The voice is very soft.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a sense of fragmentation.

"Yes." Xi Jinbai's eyes were deep, but his expression was very light.

In this relationship, he was always sober, calm, and never affected in the slightest.

Sang Yu was the only one who experienced hesitation, struggle, and pain.

She clenched her palms tightly, her throat dry, "Then you and Ji Mingzhu..."

Xi Jinbai said frankly, "I didn't know about this beforehand."

Sang Yu knew that he didn't bother to do such a thing, "Well you know now."

Xi Jinbai did not refute.

Sang Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly and he continued: "So, are you right to choose her?"

Xi Jinbai couldn't refute this.

He didn't have any feelings for Ji Mingzhu, but what the abbot said would definitely come true, so he didn't know.

Xi Jinbai's silence was the most straightforward answer to Sang Yu.

What on earth was she expecting?

A burst of cell phone ringing broke the long silence.

Xi Jinbai glanced at it. It was about work, so he answered the phone. Sang Yu sat stiffly and waited for a few minutes. Seeing that he couldn't finish it for a while, he got up and went back to his room, took off his makeup and took a shower.

I don’t know when it started raining outside the window. The raindrops poured down and hit the window without stopping or rhythm.

Sang Yu went out after taking a shower, but Xi Jinbai was not finished working in the study.

She went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of red wine, then went around to the bar to get a red wine glass, poured herself half a glass of wine, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room to drink.

Staring at the streaks of water left by the rain on the glass, the world outside gradually became blurry and misty.

Xi Jinbai smelled the rich aroma of wine as soon as he came out.

She was very selective and opened a bottle of the best vintage.

"Don't drink too much, you'll get drunk easily."

The voice came from behind Sang Yu. She turned her head and handed over the red wine with only one sip left in her hand, "Do you want to drink it?"

The throat moistened by red wine makes the voice a little thicker and softer, making people seductive without even realizing it.

Xi Jinbai took the red wine glass in her hand and drank it in one gulp.

The wine went down the throat, and the Adam's apple rolled slowly.

Sang Yu reached out to touch it out of habit.

Xi Jinbai clasped her hand and met her blurred eyes. His voice sounded like it had been polished by sandpaper, low and hoarse: "Drunk?"

Sang Yu blinked his pure eyes and denied: "No..."

She stood on tiptoe, and her red lips landed on his Adam's apple, sucking lightly, leaving a red mark.

Xi Jinbai's breathing suddenly became heavier, he held the back of her head with his palm, lowered his head and kissed her.

Sang Yu's heart rate was completely disordered.

The aroma of red wine fills your lips and teeth.

The silk nightgown was peeled off and slid to the floor.

Sang Yu shrank slightly from the cold.

Xi Jinbai bent down and picked her up to the master bedroom on the second floor.
-
In the middle of the night, the heavy rain gradually stopped.

The lingering atmosphere in the bedroom lingers for a long time.

Sang Yu lay on the bed tiredly, but not sleepy at all. He sat up wrapped in a cashmere blanket.

"Xi Jinbai..."

She called him softly.

Xi Jinbai glanced sideways, his gaze falling on her blushing cheeks.

Sang Yu moved his lips and said slowly: "Let's stop here."

The relationship deserved to be over.

Xi Jinbai stared at her, his eyes calm and indifferent, and his voice was cold: "Okay."

After a moment, he opened his lips again and said: "This house will be left to you. It will be transferred to your name in two days."

A house worth tens of millions was given as promised. Regardless of feelings, Xi Jinbai never treated her badly.

Sang Yu curled his fingertips, his throat bitter, "No, you have helped me enough."

"I won't come here often in the future, so there's no point keeping it." Xi Jinbai put on his shirt and fastened the buttons one by one with his bony fingers, "Take good care of yourself from now on, I'm leaving."

Sang Yu suppressed his sobs, "Yes, you too."

After a moment, his figure disappeared into the room.

The door is closed.

Sang Yu was left alone in the empty bedroom.

The tenderness just now seemed like an illusion, waking up from a dream and disappearing.

She sobbed softly into her knees, her shoulders shaking.

She stayed up all night and heard the rain outside stop.

At six o'clock in the morning, the fog that filled Hong Kong Island gradually dissipated, and a ray of sunshine penetrated the clouds.

Until the sky breaks out, the world in front of you becomes clear.

Her secret love hidden in the darkness came to an end.

Sang Yu stood up, relieved his numb hands and feet, and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

My own eyes in the mirror were swollen and dull, and my thin cheeks looked even more haggard.

She took the day off, citing that she wasn't feeling well.

After sorting out her things in the apartment, all the clothes and jewelry that Xi Jinbai bought for her were returned to their original places.
