She was almost certain that the person Lu Jinyang was looking for was Xiao Sewei—the one who drugged the food that day!
"Damn it! Is Tan Biyang’s brain made of paste? It’s not like she signed with the company, yet she flaunts it every day. I always thought she was living it up at Emperor’s headquarters!"
"Tell about it, but it’s too late to say anything now."
Xiao Qing suddenly felt that her decision to co back here was a mistake. She still didn’t know what had beco of Xiao Sewei. Moreover, she didn’t know whether the stuff Lu Jinyang has been busy with lately had anything to do with Xiao Sewei.
Thinking so, Xiao Qing felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Lu Jinyang.
Seeing her hesitating to answer, Qin Huaixin leaned in and, upon seeing the caller ID, raised her eyebrows at Xiao Qing, "Why aren’t you answering?"
"Would you believe if I said I want to reject the call?"
Qin Huaixin stared at her with a disbelieving expression and after a long pause said, "Think carefully before you do that, because my place isn’t available to take you in at the mont."
Five years ago, Xiao Qing had the guts to reject a call from Lu Jinyang and then hid at Qin Huaixin’s place for several days, naively thinking she was helping out a friend.
Leng Yixing ntioned later that occasionally because of that incident, Lu Jinyang would make things difficult for him at work.
Qin Huaixin thought, had she known that her actions would lead to such consequences, she would never have agreed to let Xiao Qing stay at her ho for so many days!
"Why not just answer the call? Maybe he has sothing urgent?"
She didn’t even believe her own words. Clearly, she was worried that if Emperor Lu found out Xiao Qing was not answering his calls and she was around, she didn’t know how much trouble Leng Yixing would get from Lu Jinyang.
Xiao Qing looked at Qin Huaixin, then at her phone, and finally bit her lip and pressed the answer button.
"Hello~"
"It’s ." The deep voice on the other end was as familiar as ever, yet it made Xiao Qing feel a long-lost sensation, as if from another lifeti.
"Mhm." She replied.
"Ho yet?"
"Mhm."
"Wait for at ho~"
"Lu Jinyang..." Xiao Qing quickly called out, afraid he might hang up.
There seed to be a pause on the other end, "What is it?"
"Did you do what happened to Tan Biyang?"
As these words fell, Qin Huaixin silently gave her a thumbs up from beside her, admiring that she dared to talk like that to Emperor Lu! Leng Yixing said that the last person who spoke to Lu Jinyang like that has since disappeared without a trace.
"Yes." Lu Jinyang didn’t deny it.
Xiao Qing instinctively held her breath, "What about Xiao Sewei?" She was betting whether Lu Jinyang knew what Xiao Sewei had done.
However, Lu Jinyang didn’t answer her question and instead said, "It’s not convenient to talk about it over the phone, I will explain it to you when I get ho."
"..."
"I have so matters to deal with over here, so I’ll hang up now."
...
Xiao Qing’s brows furrowed into a tight knot, her face a picture of concern.
"Hey, you okay?"
"Mhm."
"That’s good. Don’t overthink; sotis overthinking is just self-inflicted trouble. You must know, what n rember is the feeling, but for won, it’s the emotions..." As she reached this point, Qin Huaixin couldn’t help but feel contempt for herself.
What a tangent!
Hearing Qin Huaixin’s nonsensical words, Xiao Qing suddenly laughed, stood up, and pulled her along, "Let’s go see what the kids are up to."
When they reached the room door, Xiao Qing suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed unwaveringly inside.
Qin Huaixin also stopped, peering into the room from behind Xiao Qing~
