Chapter 463: Chapter 465: It Really Was a Coincidence
Gu Tiantian softly responded with an "Mm" and was about to say goodbye and hang up the phone.
Suddenly, she noticed a sharp gaze fall on her and quickly looked up.
She saw Bai Chenyao standing at the door, and it was unclear how long he had been there. His face was cold and stern, his dark eyes watched her, and there seemed to be a layer of frost in his gaze.
Gu Tiantian’s back almost broke out in a cold sweat, and she couldn’t even bother to say goodbye to Cheng Junnan and hurriedly hung up the phone.
She didn’t know why, but she was afraid Bai Chenyao would find out she was on the phone with Cheng Junnan.
However, once she remembered she was calling Zhang Haiyang just now, Gu Tiantian quickly calmed down.
Yes, she was not specifically calling Cheng Junnan; she was calling Zhang Haiyang.
"A Yao, why did you come over?"
She quickly walked up to Bai Chenyao and grabbed his hand.
"Cheng Junnan?"
Although it appeared to be a question, Bai Chenyao’s dark eyes were clearly frosted over even more.
Gu Tiantian took a deep breath and quickly explained before Bai Chenyao could react.
"A Yao, I called Brother Zhang, but he hasn’t woken up from a hangover yet, and it was by chance that President Cheng answered the call. I took the opportunity to ask him a few questions; I didn’t say anything else."
Bai Chenyao’s expression remained indifferent, and the frost in his dark eyes hadn’t dissipated, but it didn’t seem to get any worse either.
Gu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and continued her explanation.
"Yesterday, before I went to the airport to pick you up, I had coffee with Brother Zhang, and afterwards I couldn’t find him. His phone wasn’t reachable, and I was worried something happened to him, so I was looking for him before I went to pick you up."
Noticing the temperature around them dropping sharply, Gu Tiantian sped up her words, almost becoming incoherent.
"What I said yesterday about missing you was true, otherwise, why would I still be thinking about cooking for you, right?"
"A Yao, don’t you believe me?"
Asking Bai Chenyao this question at this moment, she realized it was a foolish move.
Before Bai Chenyao could speak, Gu Tiantian quickly changed her tune.
"A Yao, I really... I really... was just calling Brother Zhang; it has nothing to do with President Cheng!"
What a coincidence!
Seeing Bai Chenyao still silent, his dark eyes still fixed on her, Gu Tiantian’s heart began to race, thumping loudly, and her face gradually turned pale.
"Feeling guilty?"
Bai Chenyao suddenly reached out and gently cupped Gu Tiantian’s chin.
Gu Tiantian disliked this gesture very much; she always felt it was very frivolous and sleazy.
But since it was Bai Chenyao, she had to tolerate it.
"No... no, what I said is the truth."
Bai Chenyao slightly curled his lips into a faint smile.
"Does Cheng Junnan like you?"
Gu Tiantian suddenly stopped, looking at Bai Chenyao with a mix of shock and anxiety.
They both knew the nature of their relationship.
But why did she just see a hint of violence and anger in Bai Chenyao’s eyes?
As if... his possession had entertained a thought it shouldn’t have?
Gu Tiantian was frightened by this idea. She wanted to tell Bai Chenyao, even though their relationship was the kind that couldn’t see the light, they both got what they needed, keeping their individuality intact.
So even if she were to really start dating someone, Bai Chenyao wouldn’t have any right over that.
But facing Bai Chenyao, whose entire being exuded an icy aura, she wisely chose to remain silent.
At the same time, she felt that as long as she and Bai Chenyao were together, with his personality, he would never allow her to have any connection with other men.
