Chapter 258 Thanks
After Jiang Shuai returned to his room, Bai Mengfei went into her own room and closed the door.
She quietly pondered Jiang Shuai's instructions and realized that his words were not without reason, so she became more cautious.
As Bai Mengfei stepped into the bathroom to take a shower, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind the moment she reached for the faucet: Didn't Qu Ying say he would release Wang Tian? Why haven't we heard anything from him yet?
She originally planned to call the police station to inquire about the situation, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that Zhao Fei was already in the hospital, so who could she call?
After thinking for a moment, she silently turned on the shower and began to take a shower.
After all, there are some things that even the most capable person cannot change, and thinking about them too much will not help. It is better to do the things in front of you first.
After taking a shower, she had just stepped out of the bathroom when the doorbell rang again. At first, she thought it was Jiang Shuai again, so she went to open the door without even drying her hair.
When they opened the door, they found Xiang Yuntian standing outside.
Seeing her wet hair, Xiang Yuntian naturally guessed that she had just finished washing up, so he immediately smiled and asked, "How about we go out for a meal together?"
People need food to survive, and Bai Mengfei had been hungry before, so she naturally nodded and agreed to Xiang Yuntian's request.
“Okay, but I’ll have to dry my hair first,” Bai Mengfei said.
Xiang Yuntian then went into the room, pretending to wait patiently.
Looking at him, Bai Mengfei immediately found him very cute, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
As she went to dry her hair, Bai Mengfei began to worry about Wang Tian's condition again. So she turned to Xiang Yuntian, wanting to suggest that they go to the police station first to see if Wang Tian had been sent back.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yuntian asked anxiously.
Bai Mengfei turned off the hairdryer and said seriously, "I'm thinking, shouldn't we go to the police station and see if Wang Tian is there?"
"Now? I think it would be fine to just make a phone call and ask?" Xiang Yuntian said.
Bai Mengfei lowered her gaze, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine too."
Xiang Yuntian then took out his phone and dialed Wang Tian's number to see if she would answer. If Wang Tian had been released, even if she hadn't returned to the police station, she should still answer the phone.
After waiting a while, Wang Tian's voice came from the other end of the phone. She called out, "Forensic Doctor Xiang."
Her voice was full of grievance.
Xiang Yuntian panicked for a moment and hurriedly said, "Actually, I called to ask if Qu Ying has released you?"
"Did you save me?" Wang Tian asked.
Xiang Yuntian looked at Bai Mengfei and said, "No, it was Zhang Ting who saved you."
Upon hearing the truth, Wang Tian's tone immediately became somewhat disappointed. She simply said "Oh" softly, and then said, "Are you two together now? Please tell her thank you for me!"
In truth, she didn't know how to face Bai Mengfei, since Bai Mengfei had reminded her repeatedly before, but she hadn't taken it seriously.
Xiang Yuntian politely replied, "I will!" and then hung up the phone.
Bai Mengfei stepped forward and asked curiously, "What did you all talk about?"
"She asked me to thank you on her behalf," Xiang Yuntian said with a wry smile.
Bai Mengfei smiled faintly, not a bitter smile, but a smile of happiness because someone understood what she had done.
"Alright, let's go eat!" Bai Mengfei said, relieved.
Xiang Yuntian nodded silently, turned around, and led the way.
After arriving at the hotel restaurant, Xiang Yuntian gently and respectfully asked Bai Mengfei what she would like to eat. Bai Mengfei liked this feeling very much, because what she longed for most was not to be pampered and indulged, but to be treated with equal respect.
After all, she was a powerful woman in her past life!
"I'll have this, and this too! The beef should be medium-rare, and as for the soup, I prefer it a little light."
Xiang Yuntian greatly admired Bai Mengfei's decisive and opinionated attitude. Perhaps this was the biggest difference between Bai Mengfei and other women.
She knows what she wants and is both mature and decisive.
"Give me one of the same thing too," Xiang Yuntian said to the waiter.
He ordered this because he wanted to have a couple's set meal with Bai Mengfei.
Bai Mengfei glanced at him and chuckled inwardly, because she understood what he was thinking.
Xiang Yuntian was a little embarrassed. He crossed his hands on the table, turned his head, and secretly smiled.
"Alright, stop grinning like an idiot. Let's get serious. Do we really have to wait until tomorrow?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian then turned around and said seriously, "Yes, my dad..." At this point, he realized that Bai Mengfei didn't like him mentioning his father all the time, so he quickly changed his words, "I think it's better for us to wait for now. A small act of impatience can ruin a big plan."
Bai Mengfei understood that he changed his tune because of her, so she looked away and smiled elegantly.
After the two finished their meal, Xiang Yuntian struggled with his thoughts before saying to Bai Mengfei, "Shall we go to the amusement park together?"
Bai Mengfei remembered Xiang Yuntian's disheveled appearance at the amusement park last time, and she really didn't dare to go with him again. What if he got vomiting again on the roller coaster? That would be terrible!
So Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, looking at him with a smile in her eyes, but did not say anything.
Xiang Yuntian felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, lowered his head, smiled awkwardly, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Bai Mengfei chuckled softly and said half-jokingly, "Because you're good-looking! Is that not allowed?"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei praise him, Xiang Yuntian's face immediately turned bright red, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
"Really?" Xiang Yuntian actually believed it.
Bai Mengfei moved her face closer to him, laughing as she said, "Of course it's fake! Look at you, so silly, I just can't do anything with you. By the way, I have a question for you!"
"What is it? Tell me!" Xiang Yuntian immediately put on a serious expression.
Bai Mengfei sighed, as she was about to talk about Qu Ying.
Seeing Bai Mengfei deep in thought, Xiang Yuntian knew what she was thinking and immediately said, "Alright, don't overthink it. There's no use in thinking about it. I think we should just let things take their course. Besides, my parents will handle everything."
Bai Mengfei didn't know why, but whenever Xiang Yuntian mentioned his parents, she would feel uncomfortable.
