Chapter 192 Lies

Xu Lingfeng sat in the car for a long time, until the intense pain in his heart subsided a little, then he picked up the phone and called Ouyang Mengmian.

Although he had tried his best to control his emotions, the moment the call was connected, Xu Lingfeng's heart was still in turmoil again, so much so that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Hello! Xu Lingfeng?"

The phone had been connected for a while, but Ouyang Mengmian didn't hear Xu Lingfeng's voice. She was surprised and couldn't help asking.

Xu Lingfeng took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound steady. He knew he couldn't remain silent like this, even if the pain in his heart was still there, he had to face it.

"Yes, it's me." He finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse, but he tried to keep calm.

"What's wrong with you? You don't sound well." Ouyang Mengmian's voice was full of concern.

Xu Lingfeng was slightly startled. He didn't expect that his emotions would leak out. He sighed softly and tried to speak in a relaxed tone: "Nothing, maybe I dealt with some things in the company in the afternoon, and I didn't adjust well for a while, so I'm a little tired."

"Just take a good rest if you're tired, and don't push yourself too hard." Ouyang Mengmian consoled.

Even though his painful mood at the moment was entirely caused by Ouyang Mengmian, Xu Lingfeng still felt warm in his heart the moment he heard Ouyang Mengmian's words.

Although his feelings for Ouyang Mengmian had never been responded to by her, her concern for him had never changed or diminished. Perhaps it was because of this that he had never given up hope of getting Ouyang Mengmian.

Xu Lingfeng took a deep breath, tried to suppress the sadness in his heart, and changed the subject: "I'm calling to tell you that I may not be able to come to the Red Dust Bar tonight... Something suddenly happened in the company, and I have to rush back to deal with it..."

Hearing Xu Lingfeng's words of breaking the appointment, Ouyang Mengmian was silent for a while, as if thinking. She knew that Xu Lingfeng was not the kind of person who would easily break his promise. If it weren't for the sudden intervention of work, he would definitely keep the appointment on time.

Although Ouyang Mengmian didn't think that there was anything special about her date with Xu Lingfeng, and she wasn't particularly looking forward to it, she couldn't help feeling a little sad about the parting when she heard that he was leaving suddenly.

Another important reason is that Xu Lingfeng had planned for so long and came all the way here. He must have felt extremely disappointed and sad when he was suddenly told to go back. The more this happened, the more she couldn't let her indifference leak out.

Ouyang Mengmian's traditional education and principles of dealing with people have made her pay much attention to other people's emotions. She doesn't want to make others feel unhappy because of herself.

There was silence on the phone.

Xu Lingfeng waited for Ouyang Mengmian's response with bated breath, as anxious and nervous as a prisoner waiting for his final verdict. How he hoped that Ouyang Mengmian would act like a spoiled child and ask him to stay no matter what, that she wanted him to stay with her, that she couldn't live without him...

If she told him that, he would definitely laugh and tell her that what he said to her, "something happened suddenly at the company" and "he had to rush back to deal with it", were just jokes to tease her...

But he soon realized that all his hopes and the scenes he foresaw were like illusory clouds in the sky that could not be grasped or realized no matter what.

Sure enough, Ouyang Mengmian's calm voice soon sounded on the other end of the phone. She said, "I understand, Xu Lingfeng. Work matters are always urgent and important. Go back, and we'll see each other again if we have the chance."

After hearing Ouyang Mengmian's words, Xu Lingfeng's mood was like an elevator out of control, falling straight down from a high point. The retention and reluctance he had originally expected turned into nothing in Ouyang Mengmian's calm response.

At this moment, Xu Lingfeng understood more clearly that Ouyang Mengmian's care and support were out of friendship, not love, which made him feel deeply powerless.

Xu Lingfeng took a deep breath, trying to suppress the feeling of loss in his heart. He responded softly almost instinctively: "Okay, Mengmian. I will deal with the company's affairs as soon as possible, and then contact you." After that, he hung up the phone, but his eyes could not help but look at the brightly lit apartment again.
