Chapter 215: Chapter 214 Director Qi’s Phone Call
Yuren: “…”
That really wasn’t the case.
His lean and handso face harbored an expression of helplessness as he silently recited a phrase to himself, the bottom of his restrained and steady eyes filled with endless tolerance and patience.
On the surface, however, he remained composed, “Oh? Why do you say that?”
Lu Mian gave a light “ah ha,” laughing brightly, “Because you guys are always fussing over the smallest things like old fathers, constantly nagging…”
Although, her own father wasn’t like that.
“Who else nags you?” Yuren had no choice but to focus on the word “guys,” his long fingers unwrapping the package from MM Ji Restaurant, seemingly chatting with Lu Mian without a purpose.
Lu Mian didn’t do as he thought. Looking at the spread of food before her and rubbing her abdon, which had subsided to a level six pain, she was already content. Nonchalantly and carelessly, she straddled the chair, laughing, “Yeah, like my horoom teacher, Mr. Su, you, and also…”
She paused.
Yuren sat down, quietly waiting for her to continue. He could probably guess what was coming, just wondering why she suddenly stopped.
Lu Mian silently took a sip of the red date porridge.
Yuren didn’t press her, smiling gently as he passed her a packet of chopsticks, “Last ti I saw you staring at the chopsticks, I guess Ya Ling and the others definitely didn’t notice these details. Today, I brought them for you.”
“Oh, okay…”
“It’s rare for Xiao Qimo to not be next door, which gives the chance to co over, to avoid any trouble.”
Lu Mian, biting on a red date, moved it to one cheek, understandingly said, “It must have been Yuanyuan who told you.”
“Mhm.”
Lu Mian then moved the date to her other cheek, puffing it slightly, her cool little face gaining a touch of cuteness. She raised her eyebrows, intrigued, “Handso Yu, I’ve noticed that Yuanyuan is quite attentive to Director Qimo.”
“…” Yuren didn’t know how to respond, just as Lu Mian’s phone on the dining table began to vibrate.
He glanced at it, his tone inexplicably charged, “Mianmian, it’s Director Qimo’s call.”
Lu Mian spit out the date pit, sothing flickering in her eyes, she picked up the phone.
One shouldn’t speak of the devil; hardly had they spoken when the call ca.
She hesitated for a mont, now didn’t seem like the right ti to answer.
After Lu Mian’s mont of hesitation, Yuren had already stood up, murmuring, “I’ll go to the kitchen and find you a small bowl,” then calmly walked away.
Only then did she press the answer button.
The man’s low, magnetic voice ca through.
“Have you taken your dicine?”
Even through the receiver, Lu Mian could almost see Xiao Qimo pushing his glasses up, his deanor elegant and composed.
“I have.”
“It should have eased quite a bit, right?”
Lu Mian nodded, she owed him for his kindness, her tone very gentle, “If the pain were to be divided into twelve levels, it has now halved.”
Listening to her light-hearted tone, Xiao Qimo felt sure she wasn’t pretending, and he relaxed.
“You’re at ho right now, right? The weather has gotten much cooler, wear more clothes, don’t drink cold water, don’t go to bars…”
He instructed her a lot over the phone, Lu Mian responded to each, she had said it, even the previously aloof Director Qimo had beco talkative.
But it was alright, she could distinguish good from bad and listened patiently.
“Alright, I’ve noted everything down, thank you for the dicine.”
The other side chuckled softly, a good mood transmitted through the phone.
The corners of Lu Mian’s lips turned upward as well.
There was a faint, inexplicable atmosphere in the air.
It wasn’t until a soft clattering noise from a cabinet ca from the kitchen that Xiao Qimo, on the other end of the phone, suddenly had a flash of coldness in his eyes.
That noise wasn’t near Lu Mian; it was distant, not made by her.
So…
There was soone else in Lu Mian’s house!
