บท 28: Cry If You Want to Cry

The surroundings around them were starting to get darker and the day would turn night in a few minutes.

From the distance, Lu Xun saw that the girl was sitting alone on the bench with her gaze was looking at the scenery before her. He did not know what she was thinking when she had told him to stop.

Thinking that she wanted to throw up after drinking a little bit, Lu Xun decided to pull over. He did not think that she wanted to come to this park to enjoy the scenery.

A frown appeared on his face.

This girl had just escaped from a dangerous situation, but at this moment, she still dared to sit alone in this kind of place.

Their surroundings were quiet and there was no one around.

Was she not afraid that she was going to run into a person with a bad intention?

Lu Xun debated whether he should leave her alone and drive away.

If he leaves now, he would only worry that this girl gets into another trouble later.

After watching her for a while, he took out his phone and saw a few messages from her assistant. After he had replied to his assistant's text, Lu Xun slowly approached the girl.

Song Xing Xing slowly raised her head when she sensed that there was someone beside her. Her eyes turned wide when she realized that the person before him was her boss. She raised her hand to wipe the tears on her eyes and spoke, "President Lu, what are you still doing here?"

It was only when he had come closer that he noticed that Song Xing Xing was crying in silence.

Lu Xun had never encountered such a situation and he did not know what he should do at this time. He knew very well that he could not reprimand the girl in this situation.

"It's getting late. I couldn't possibly leave you alone at this time," Lu Xun said. He looked at the space beside her and sat down after he had weighed his decision. "What's wrong with you?"

Song Xing Xing wanted to bury her head on the ground. Her boss had caught her crying and she was embarrassed. However, there was no place for her to hide.

"After experiencing that kind of situation, I'm just glad that I came out alright," Song Xing Xing said. She was betrayed by a person that she had called a friend. How can she not be sad?

His gaze flickered. Initially, Lu Xun had thought that this girl did not care about her safety and her situation. Seeing her reddened eyes and nose, Lu Xun began to realize that Song Xing Xing should be anxious and scared if her plan did not go according to what she wanted. After all, she had to gamble her life to escape.

Suddenly, he wondered why did her friend take her to attend the gathering.

"Cry if you want to cry. If it makes you feel better, just let it all out."

Song Xing Xing felt that she could no longer cry after she heard his words. If she let it all out in front of her boss, wouldn't she be embarrassed?

At this time, Song Xing Xing's phone in her purse started to ring loudly. She took out her phone and stared at the screen with a dazed expression. The ringtone was let to ring for a long time, but Song Xing Xing did not show that she intended to answer the call.

"Are you not going to take that phone call?"

Song Xing Xing took a deep breath and flashed a smile. However, because she had been crying, the smile on her face was a little ugly.

"Currently, I'm very drunk," Song Xing Xing said. "How can I answer the phone call in this state? I'll just return her call once I'm sober enough."

Lu Xun heard her words and immediately guessed that the person who called her should be someone related to the incident in the restaurant.

The phone call ended after a while. Song Xing Xing quickly put her phone on silent mode, knowing that Bai Zhi was going to call her again. Just as she had thought, Bai Zhi tried to reach her number ten times before she started to send the first text.

Song Xing Xing glanced over at the popped-up messages but did not click on them.

She saw Bai Zhi's concern but knew that the person was not really concern about her well-being. Another message came in and her brow furrowed when she saw her question.

Bai Zhi: Xing Xing, a friend from the production crew told me that you left with someone from NEXT Group. Why don't I know that you have a relationship with someone from NEXT Group?

Seeing her question, Song Xing Xing raised her head and laughed.

In the end, Bai Zhi only called her because of this matter, right?

Song Xing Xing took a deep breath to calm down and turned to the person beside him again. "President Lu, did you let that Producer know who you are?"

Lu Xun thought about Assistant Bei Yuan's message report from earlier.

"No. My assistant had not mentioned anything about me," Lu Xun said. "However, he might have mentioned his position so that the person could cooperate with him. The last thing that my assistant had told me, that Producer was taken to the police station to assist an investigation."

Song Xing Xing listened to his words and figured out that she knew what she was going to do and say the next time she met with Bai Zhi again. She had a feeling that Bai Zhi was going to be thick-skinned and pretended that nothing had happened between them.

She snapped out of her thoughts and realized that she had not thanked her boss for helping her. "President Lu, I haven't got my chance to thank you. Thank you. If it was not for your help, it would be harder for me to escape that person."

"It's fine." Lu Xun said and stood up. "Come on. I'll take you home."

"No. It's alright. I'm planning to spend my night in the hotel tonight." She pointed towards the building not far away from them. "I don't want to run into a troublesome situation if I stayed home."

Song Xing Xing could imagine that Bai Zhi will look for her at her apartment. However, Song Xing Xing was determined to play her role as a drunkard.

Lu Xun looked towards the direction she was pointing at and suddenly had a hunch that the reason Song Xing Xing had asked him to stop at this place was that she was planning to stay at the hotel.

It seemed that he was worrying too much.
