Chapter 262: Shadow
"She's outside?" In the room, Xiaomeng had already gotten up, and finally had a good night's sleep after taking the medicine, and at this moment she was leaning against the window and vaguely heard Su Xiaoran's voice.
Frank closed the door of the room, walked up to her, and looked at her with a tired face: "You can rest in the room for a while, and then I will take you to eat when I am done." β
"Let me ask you, is it her?" After a good night's sleep, Xiaomeng's spirit has almost recovered, she looks very energetic at the moment, if it weren't for the worried eyes, it really wouldn't be obvious that she had a serious illness.
Frank didn't expect Gu Bei to bring Su Xiaoran here, and he didn't plan to let them meet here. He reached out and stroked Xiaomeng's long hair, and a light smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Don't ask anything, lie down for a while." β
"If you don't say it, I'll see it myself." Xiaomeng broke free of his hand and was about to go to the ground. Frank sighed lightly, downstairs, the voice of Gu Bei and Su Xiaoran talking came, no matter how much he hid it, I am afraid that he would not be able to hide it.
"What are you going to do? Meet her and tell her you're still here and haven't left? β
Frank's words made Xiaomeng stop putting on her clothes, she seemed to be angry with herself, she bit her lip lightly, and looked at him with angry eyes, but to no avail. Su Xiaoran's voice downstairs came very clearly, she seemed to be laughing, and she was very interested in chatting with Gu Bei, however, every laugh she made seemed to Xiaomeng to be a sarcastic existence.
She's so happy because she can completely own Chenxi, right?
"You did it on purpose."
Xiaomeng angrily threw his clothes to the ground, thinking that Frank deliberately called Su Xiaoran and they made him angry, Frank bent down to pick up the clothes, and his eyes did not fluctuate too much when he looked at her, but a very calm and accustomed gaze was silently watching this woman he loved but couldn't get.
"If I don't go down, they will be suspicious, you stay here and wait for me."
Frank said, got up and walked out of the door, closed the door uneasily, and then walked to the small courtyard on the first floor.
"How did you go that long? Is there a beauty hidden in the house? β
Gu Bei always liked to joke with him, Frank simply followed his wishes, sat between them, and said, "Yes, there are peerless beauties hidden in my house, you didn't come at the right time, you have to greet me in advance before you come." β
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and smiled, looking kind.
"Don't believe him, I've known him for so many years, except that I've heard that he has a wife, I haven't seen any woman standing next to him at all."
"Frank is very dedicated, your wife must be very happy." Su Xiaoran looked at Frank and said, and suddenly remembered that Gu Bei said that he was divorced, and felt that he had said the wrong thing for a while, and looked at Gu Bei very embarrassed.
"A lot of happiness can only be experienced by yourself. By the way, why are you two here today? The last ...... What about Seven-Seven? β
"We've got something." Su Xiaoran said with a smile.
"Something? You two shouldn't be ......" Frank laughed a little inappropriately for the first time, and Gu Bei hurriedly interrupted him, "Don't talk nonsense, Xiaoran has a boyfriend." β
"Then why haven't I seen him, Xiaoran, next time I call your boyfriend to come along, I want to meet him."
Frank said, Yu Guang secretly glanced at the window of the room on the second floor, and found that the curtains were actually opened, he guessed that Xiaomeng must be peeking or eavesdropping upstairs, as soon as he thought of this, he couldn't be at peace in his heart, and he was always afraid that Xiaomeng would do something abnormal.
"Chenxi, he probably hasn't had time lately." Su Xiaoran remembered the mess in the company, and her mood became melancholy again. Just now, she and Gu Bei learned some about Qiao Jiang's current movements, but now that Frank came, their conversation was terminated, and they could only chat about some ordinary flower language.
For some reason, she felt that Frank's small courtyard was a little strange today, and she couldn't tell what was wrong, in short, from the moment she stepped in, she felt that the surroundings seemed to be too quiet, Su Xiaoran thought about it, maybe it was because of the daytime, coupled with the surrounding greenery, it made people feel as if they were in the wild, so they felt panicked!
"Frank, can I borrow your bathroom?" Su Xiaoran drank two cups of coffee and one cup of tea in a row, and was in a hurry to go to the toilet at this time. When Frank heard this, his face immediately turned pale.
He forgot that there was only one bathroom in his small courtyard, and that was in the room on the second floor, and now, Xiaomeng was staying in it.

Su Xiaoran waited for a while and didn't see Frank respond, and asked again, Frank came to his senses and glanced around, it was not good to refuse, but if he agreed to let her go up to the second floor, wouldn't it let the two of them meet?
"Xiao Ran asked you, why did you get drunk first without drinking!" Gu Bei quipped that he didn't notice anything unusual about Frank.
"Yes, yes, but ...... Upstairs. β
Frank was a little far-fetched, Su Xiaoran saw his subtle expression, so he said, "Then forget it, we'll go back soon." β
As he spoke, looking at Gu Bei opposite, when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a heavy sound from upstairs, which seemed to be the sound of something heavy falling, and the three of them heard it, and the three of them were surprised, especially Frank, his face had already turned pale, and he couldn't sit still anymore at the moment, so he stood up with a pout.
He was afraid that it was the sound of Xiaomeng falling to the ground.
"Frank, are you alright? Is there anyone in your house? Gu Bei was a little anxious at first, and Frank was afraid that they would go up to check together, so he held back his nervousness and said, "Maybe the cat I just bought tripped over something, it's okay." β
As he spoke, he sat down again, but his face was obviously different from what he had just done. Su Xiaoran and Gu Bei looked at each other, and the two said at the same time: "It's not too early, we should go back too." β
With that, the two got up, and Frank had no intention of keeping it. "Pay attention to safety on the road, and bring your boyfriend and Qiqi over next time."
Frank deliberately emphasized, Su Xiaoran nodded, and then walked out of the small courtyard with Gu Bei, when she got into the car, she couldn't help but look back at the window on the second floor, just then, she seemed to see a figure flashing quickly, she thought she was dazzled, and wanted to look again, but found that Frank was looking at herself at the moment, so she lowered her head and smiled, and left with Gu Bei's car.
"Do you think Frank is weird today?"
After walking far in the car, Su Xiaoran dared to ask Gu Bei, Gu Bei was also wondering in his heart, Frank asked him for a prescription medicine yesterday, and he was doubting the use of the medicine at that time, plus all the performances of Frank today are very strange, which can't help but make him suspicious.
Frank, you can't be doing something illegal, right?
"He's always been weird, don't bother." Gu Bei didn't want to tell Su Xiaoran about the prescription drugs, so he answered casually. Su Xiaoran looked at his side face, and he didn't dare to say anything about the shadow he saw just now.
This was Frank's private business, and he and he weren't very close friends. So...... Forget it!
β¦β¦
Frank Courtyard.
Xiaomeng actually really fell.
Just now, she originally got up and wanted to see through the window whether the person below was Su Xiaoran's, but by accident, she fell heavily on the hard floor, grinding a small piece of skin on her knee, and she grinned in pain. Later, she could only stand up by the window, but she never thought that she didn't see it. Although there is still a white curtain at the window, and the people under it may not be able to tell who she is, it is always risky.
When Frank rushed back, Xiaomeng had limped back to the bed, and when he saw the abrasions on her knees, he was distressed and angry.
"Did you know that you were in danger like this? Didn't I tell you to lie in bed and not move? β
Frank forcibly took off her pants to drug her, but Xiaomeng resisted desperately, and finally reached out and slapped him in desperation.
"I don't need your attention, don't touch me!"
Frank touched half of his face, glanced at Xiaomeng again, didn't speak at all, pushed her directly to the bed, forcibly took off the off-white pajama pants on her body, brought the potion, dipped it on the cotton, and gently wiped it on the wound.
A tingling pain came, Xiaomeng was humiliated and angry, gritted his teeth and held back the tears in his eyes as Frank finished giving himself the medicine, and then heard him say, "I have told your mother that you are here with me, and she should be here soon." β
"Why did you betray me!" Xiaomeng was very angry, she finally avoided so many eyeliner to come here, if it wasn't for the fear of being discovered by her mother, how could she be willing to stay by his side?
Frank looked at her with some disappointment and asked, "You think I'm willing?" Have you ever wondered if your mother still can't find you, then where will she go to find you? Are you willing to let everyone know that you haven't left yet? β
In a word, Xiaomeng was speechless. She didn't want her family to forcibly take her away, and she didn't want Chenxi to know that she was still here. She needs to wait for a time, and after this opportunity, maybe she can stay by Chenxi's side forever.
"You can convince your mom that there is no point in going against a woman as strong as her."
Frank took the medicine box away, glanced at Xiaomeng, who sat down on the bed with a helpless face, and was extremely depressed, so he simply kicked over the potted plants under his feet, and couldn't relieve his anger, and pushed down a few photos on the table with both hands, and there were countless whys in his heart, but there was nowhere to tell.
