Lu Mello stared at her for a while, despite the smile on his lips, the look in his eyes was different. It was filled with sadness and longingness.
Shi Enxi may be acting polite but it was her way of being cold to others. He could clearly see the distance she was putting between them... it was like the distance they had before.
Shi Enxi never trusted him even once, even after they got married and fell in love with each other. She was too afraid to trust anyone completely in fear of being betrayed.
If there was one person who she trusted the most, it was none other than Huang Li. But in the near future, he was also going to betray her the most which broke her down to pieces.
"Mr. Lu."
"Mr. Lu."
"Lu Mello."
"Lu Mello!"
Lu Mello snapped out from his thoughts. He looked at the woman that was waving her hand in front of him. "Yes?"
Shi Enxi sighed. Here she was, asking him about what the things he found out concerning Wang Hao's case and yet, his mind was flying off to somewhere.
"I don't want to sound rude but I came here to talk about my uncle's case. If you're just going to sit here and stare at me like a lovesick boy then I better take my leave." She frankly said to him.
He chuckled lightly. He preferred this side of Shi Enxi, the side where she was being honest to him. "Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to look at you that way."
"Well?" She was really losing her patience to him.
He cleared his throat. "As I said earlier, someone is planning to kill your uncle. I went to investigate his car and found out that the wires of his car's brake were cut off."
Shi Enxi listened to him with a worried look on her face. "Do you have any leads on who's planning to kill him? We should do something to catch that person!"
"I don't know who's planning to kill him but..." He took out a file from his briefcase and handed it to her. "Here are the list of people he has animosity with. I will still have to look thoroughly on them."
As Shi Enxi looked at the list of names. A wondrous thought entered her mind... What if she used one of them to kill Wang Hao? In that case, she could come out innocent and Lu Mello would never doubt her!
"That's why I have already suggested your auntie that she should hire guards to watch over her husband."
Shi Enxi handed back the list to Lu Mello. "Some of them are working in the company... I can watch them for you."
Lu Mello nodded and smiled. "Yes, that's why I called you here."
He didn't want her to commit the same crimes she did in the past that was why by putting her close to him, he could watch over her moves.
Shi Enxi sighed heavily, "I don't understand why those people hate uncle. He's not the type of person to do bad things to others."
"You never know, Xi'er. Not everyone who is loved by people is good. They wear a mask to cover their schemes."
Shi Enxi remained quiet at his remark since she was also like that. She took the glass of wine and took a sip from it instead.
The quiet atmosphere was interrupted when Lu Mello's phone that was on the table started ringing.
Shi Enxi was able to take a quick glimpse at the caller ID... It was Fan Xiao Yao.
Her eyes turned cold when she saw that name. She turned away and looked at the beautiful scenery of the city lights instead.
"Excuse me, I have to take this call."
"Go on."
Lu Mello saw how Shi Enxi was not yet scheming on stealing him away from Fan Xiao Yao. He guessed that it was because he was still courting her.
"Hello, Xiao Yao?"
"Mello, I'll be going back to Beijing on Saturday." Fan Xiao Yao excitedly said.
Lu Mello chuckled. "Really? That's great. Do you want me to pick you up?"
Shi Enxi didn't want to hear more of their conversation that was why she turned to Lu Mello and mouthed, ''restroom'.
Lu Mello nodded in return. He watched Shi Enxi leave the room.
"Mello, are you still there?"
"Yes, I'm still here." He stood up from his seat and faced the beautiful scenery instead. "Anyway, Xiao Yao... I want to talk to you about something but not now."
"Then you shouldn't have said that in the first place! Now you're making me really curious about what you want to say."
"It's better if I tell you in person."
A huff was heard from the other line. "Fine. Tell me once I get there, okay?"
"Mm... okay. I'll tell you once you're here."
