Chapter 296: 296 Xu Boyan talks with Li Xiyi_1

At this moment, Xu Boyan is sitting in a coffee shop not far from the apartment, across from him is Li Xiyi.

Li Xiyi, with her long wavy hair now dyed wine-red, was wearing a low-cut dress of the same color. She was stirring the coffee on the table, lightly touching her lips, and not uttering a word.

"Mr. Xu, you wouldn’t be thinking about shifting your affections, would you?"

Li Xiyi raised her head, covering her mouth lightly as she spoke. There was a seductive allure in her bright red lips parting and closing.

Li Xiyi was a coquettish woman, sultry even to the point of promiscuity.

Xu Boyan’s eyes were fixed on his coffee. He stirred the coffee in his hand, a faint cold smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

Indeed, Li Xiyi was an alluring woman, but he was not interested. The only one he was interested in was Lu Qingyi.

"Mr. Xu, twenty minutes have passed and you haven’t said a word. Are you simply just asking me out for coffee? It’s quite a waste of time, I’m rather busy."

Li Xiyi looked at the watch on her wrist. Twenty minutes had passed and Xu Boyan hadn’t said a word since inviting her.

Li Xiyi could not understand Xu Boyan’s intentions. She simply felt that his reason for asking her out was not innocent, and it must have something to do with Lu Qingyi.

Apart from things related to Lu Qingyi, Li Xiyi couldn’t understand why Xu Boyan would look for her.

"What’s the relationship between you and the kid?"

Xu Boyan didn’t look up at Li Xiyi as he asked, his voice was cold.

Lu Qingyi and Li Xiyi were vastly different in character, one was indifferent, one coquettish. It was indeed unusual for these two very different types of people to mingle together.

The relationship between Lu Qingyi and Li Xiyi wasn’t merely friendship.

"Friends."

Li Xiyi picked up her coffee, took a light sip, and said casually, a smile playing at her lips.

Absolutely captivating.

Tsk, what a question to ask.

Xu Boyan: "Just friends?"

Just friends?

Is it that simple?

He couldn’t find out the identities of both of them. Lu Qingyi was not simple, and neither was Li Xiyi.

"Otherwise, what do you suppose, Mr. Xu? It’s quite odd for you to ask me instead of asking Qingyi about this."

Li Xiyi lightly laughed with her lips pursed, her face full of laughter as she looked at Xu Boyan.

Inwardly, however, she wasn’t as cheerful as she seemed on the surface. She was a little worried. Had Xu Boyan noticed something?

Xu Boyan didn’t ask Lu Qingyi, but asked her instead. Apart from suspecting something, she really couldn’t think of any other reason.

"I asked you here because I want to understand, what did you mean by the text messages you sent to her?"

Xu Boyan didn’t hide anything. He looked up at Li Xiyi, his voice and expression were cold.

His look at Li Xiyi was devoid of extra emotions.

"Tsk, Mr. Xu, you really are cold."

Li Xiyi’s heart skipped a beat. She deliberately ignored Xu Boyan’s words and chose to change the subject. The smile on her face was exceptionally bewitching.

Tsk, Lu Qingyi has a good eye for men. What a catch.

Xu Boyan frowned slightly, "Don’t change the subject."

"What?"

Li Xiyi pretended not to know, then slyly took out her phone from her bag intending to text Lu Qingyi for help.

"Planning to send a message to the kid?"

Xu Boyan quickly saw through Li Xiyi, his gaze fixed on her.

"Huh, how could it be."

Caught in the act, Li Xiyi embarrassedly put away her phone.

If not for Lu Qingyi, she probably wouldn’t have the privilege to sit opposite Xu Boyan. She was very clear about the kind of person Xu Boyan is.

The Xu Boyan she knew before was cold, unsympathetic, ruthless...

It seemed that all negative words applied to him. Li Xiyi would naturally not dare to provoke Xu Boyan before. Now, she would casually speak to Xu Boyan without much consideration as she was Lu Qingyi’s friend.

"What did you mean by the message you sent to the kid?"

Xu Boyan repeated his question again, his voice was very cold, but gentler when mentioning Lu Qingyi.

"What message?"

Li Xiyi pretended to be clueless, acting ignorant, as she fiddled with her hair.

Now, she was absolutely sure that Xu Boyan must have seen that message:

So what do you want to do? Break up?

Xu Boyan must have seen this message and under circumstances where Lu Qingyi was unaware.

"You know very well."

Xu Boyan broke through Li Xiyi’s pretense with a single sentence. He knew that Li Xiyi must be very well aware.

"Ah, Mr. Xu, I send Qingyi a lot of messages every day. How am I supposed to know which one you’re referring to? Besides, Qingyi is such a cold woman, she always ignores my messages."

Li Xiyi flicked her wine-red hair. The natural smile on her face was alluring as her red lips moved to form words.

She, of course, couldn’t tell the truth.

Let alone anything else, just Lu Qingyi alone could obliterate her.

"Li Xiyi, you know very well what I am asking. It’s just that you don’t want to answer."

Xu Boyan looked into Li Xiyi’s eyes, they were especially cold.

Li Xiyi was a smart woman, she could understand his words, but she didn’t want to answer him.

About Lu Qingyi, he had always wanted to know the answer, wanted to understand her.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to ask Lu Qingyi or understand her, but he didn’t want to force Lu Qingyi to do something she dislikes.

So he had always refrained from asking.

"Mr. Xu, it is not that I do not want to speak, but I cannot say anything about Qingyi."

Li Xiyi placed her coffee on the table. The smile disappeared from her face as she slowly spoke.

Yes, she knew, she understood.

She just didn’t want to say it, she also couldn’t say it.

Who knew the outcome would be?

Xu Boyan was very indulgent of Lu Qingyi, giving her the capital to be willful. He could ignore all of Lu Qingyi’s hidden identities.

But, could Xu Boyan truly tolerate Lu Qingyi’s identity as the leader of Xingying? Could he really not mind?

Li Xiyi wasn’t sure about this, and neither was Lu Qingyi.

It was better for Lu Qingyi herself to reveal the issue of her identity, or let Xu Boyan discover it on his own.

As for the result, whether it’s good or bad, she wasn’t sure. Naturally, she couldn’t tell. If she were the reason that Xu Boyan and Lu Qingyi ended in the next moment, wouldn’t she become the sinner?

Lu Qingyi would revert back to her previous state. Indifferent, sombre, unacquainted with worldly affairs, and engrossed in her work all the time.
