Empty Promises: The Ceo Cunning Bride - Chapter 166

It didn’t take long for Wu Yuan to reply. It was as if he had been waiting for her text message all this time.

Xiong Jingfei: [Let’s meet. You can pick the time and place.]

The place he suggested… She’s been there before, and it was going to be a long drive there. Couldn’t they just meet at a restaurant or somewhere in the city?

Xiong Jingfei went along with it because she did let him pick the place. He went ahead and set it for two days from today. Even though she had classes that day, she was willing to skip them for him.

However, somehow she felt guilty towards Yang Zheyan because she was sneaking behind his back. But, they said that they wouldn’t get into each other’s personal business. Even if she told him, he might end up tagging along, and she wouldn’t be able to ask Wu Yuan questions she has.

Xiong Jingfei couldn’t wait for those two days to arrive, and when it did, she took one of Yang Zheyan’s car. He did tell her she was welcomed to use and touch anything in his house. He also just had to include himself in the conversation. Was it really that fun to tease her?

Normally, she wouldn’t use one of Yang Zheyan’s cars because he assigned a driver for her. But, she didn’t want to tell the driver where she was going. So she needed to find a way to get there herself. No taxi is willing to take her that far out too.

When she arrived at the location Wu Yuan set up. There was a gut-wrenching feeling inside her because this was the place she got to hear her mother’s voice. It was also the place that Xu Suying came for her two years ritual.

Xiong Jingfei did make sure to mark this place as a comeback one day, but she didn’t think she would do it this soon. It was odd that Wu Yuan knew of this place and chose this place too.

He didn’t seem like someone who would ever step foot into a place like this. Still, she always felt that he was strange when she first met him. His eyes seemed to follow her wherever she goes when she showed up on set.

She told herself not to think too highly of herself because there is no way Wu Yuan is interested in her like that. Yet, she never expected that he would come to her and say a bunch of things that actually made sense!

Xiong Jingfei stared up at the tall stone stairways that await her. She wanted to forget about these burdensome stairs! Being prepared this time, she had a water bottle in one hand and determination mentally prepared.

While walking up the stairs, she drank and walked at the same time. She was really not in shape!

Finally, she made it to the top and almost collapsed, but someone caught her by the arm.

“Hello there, Feifei.” Wu Yuan showed off his celebrity smile. “You really need to exercise more. It was fun watching you from up here.”

Did you really enjoy it? Xiong Jingfei rolled her eyes at him and pulled her arm from his clutches.

“You’re so mean!” Wu Yuan clicked his tongue. “Well, you’re here and reached out to me first. That means I won our bet.”

Yes, Wu Yuan did win the bet. This was how their conversation went the day he proposed the bet.

“Let’s make a bet. In a few days, you will be the first one to seek me out.” Wu Yuan proudly said.

‘I don’t know why I would ever do that.’ Xiong Jingfei wrote down.

Moreover, there was no reason for her to see Wu Yuan outside of work. They actually won’t be seeing each other anymore because the drama’s last scene was already shot. It was wrapped up and in the midst of being edited before the release date.

“You will.” Wu Yuan confidently said it like she really would do it. “In a few days from now, you will meet a person you never met, but you will instantly hate her. Just the sound of her voice is irritating.”

Xiong Jingfei stood up. He is making up nonsense, and she doesn’t want to sit here and listen to it. Why is he telling her like he knows what is going to happen next in her life?

“Tsk, tsk. You shouldn’t leave until you hear the rest.” Wu Yuan beckoned her to sit back down. “You’ve always been quick to leave whenever someone is talking to you. You haven’t changed.”

She sat back down, but why does he keep saying ‘you haven’t changed.’ Acting like they’ve known each other for a very long time.

Wu Yuan whispered it like it was secret. “I am the answer to your questions. I mean, ALL of them.”

What does he mean by ALL of them? Xiong Jingfei was slightly frightened at how convincing Wu Yuan was. When he wasn’t even making a compelling case.

Does he know anything about my dreams? Why I dream about Ai and who Ai is? He was seriously going on a roundabout way for not answering her. That means he doesn’t plan on giving her an answer today.

“Just think about it.” Wu Yuan made it sound like he was giving her a choice, but he really wasn’t.

‘I will take on your bet. What is the winner’s prize?’ Xiong Jingfei asked. There has to be more to this bet for her to participate.

“Hmm… Let’s see. If I win and which I will.” Wu Yuan chuckled and rested his chin on his right palm. “You will come live with me.”

Xiong Jingfei gave him the dead eyes. Is he kidding her? How can she live with him when she is living with Yang Zheyan already? At least there is a reason why she is living with Yang Zheyan, but Wu Yuan is just a co-worker. Does he want her to be on the next hot topic scandal for having an affair?

It almost happened once, and she didn’t need it to happen again.

“Oh, don’t you worry. I won’t force you to live with me even when I win. I know you will come live with me on your own.” Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders like it was an accurate prediction.

‘And if I win?’ Xiong Jingfei wrote.

After hearing how Wu Yuan was boasting about being the winner of this bet. She felt that she needed to be the winner!

“Then, I will grant you a wish. I do have the ability to make your wishes come true.” Wu Yuan folded his arms on the table. He said it in a very natural way, but yet, in a dangerous kind of sense.
