Su Li felt somewhat anxious. Hesitantly, she heard Ji Xuewei say, "Why don’t you answer? I’ll head out first."
Ji Xuewei smiled slightly, put down her glass of water, and walked out of the office, soon surrounded by the studio’s employees.
Su Li pressed her lips together and gently tapped the answer button.
"Why did you take so long to answer my call?" Feng Huaijin’s deep voice carried a trace of displeasure, followed by a low chuckle. "Mr. Tian wants to invite you and me to dinner. I’ll pick you up this evening."
Su Li couldn’t help but grip her phone tightly, her voice involuntarily carrying a hint of jealousy. "Mr. Qi, you have a marriage contract with the second daughter of the Ling Family. Isn’t it inappropriate for us to have dinner together?"
The other side suddenly fell silent, causing Su Li’s heart to sink instantly.
Could it be that her guess was right?
Is he really the one with a marriage contract with the Ling Family’s second daughter?
A wave of anger surged in Su Li’s heart. He had a marriage contract yet was so close to her, even came to stay at her house?
"Su Li, is your top score on the college entrance exam not from cheating?"
Su Li was so angry her face turned red, "You’re the one who cheated!"
Back then, Tuanzi had given her the standard answers for the exam, but she didn’t look at them.
Upon hearing this, Feng Huaijin chuckled softly, saying, "Then why did you ask me that? If I had a marriage contract with the Ling Family’s second daughter, would my mother give you the bracelet? Where did you hear such false rumors?"
Su Li was slightly stunned, blinking while looking out the window, suddenly feeling a bit awkward.
It... seems to make sense.
A blush quickly spread across her face, leaving Su Li feeling both ashamed and frustrated, internally cursing herself for foolishly failing to resist asking Feng Huaijin.
Feng Huaijin’s voice was lingering, his tone stretching, "Do you think pears taste better with a bit of jealousy?"
Su Li’s face turned red, feeling both embarrassed and angry, almost instinctively pressing the hang-up button, ending the call.
Feng Huaijin stared at the disconnected call: "..."
This pear’s skin seems... pretty thin.
Su Li felt extremely awkward, her whole face seemingly on fire, leaving her mind a bit muddled.
Feng Huaijin probably thinks she’s jealous, but she isn’t!!
Su Li patted her cheeks, trying to calm herself down.
At this moment, Ji Xuewei walked back inside, smiling as she said, "I just made a call to the Ling Family, confirming that the Ling Family’s second daughter and Feng Si have a marriage contract."
Su Li looked at Ji Xuewei with a mournful expression, hesitating to speak.
Ji Xuewei observed Su Li’s expression for a moment before saying, "Do you... like Fourth Master Feng?" Follow current novels on novᴇlfire.net
Su Li felt like crying, wondering why her senior didn’t mention it earlier?
If she had known, she wouldn’t have embarrassed herself in front of Feng Huaijin!
Su Li chuckled awkwardly, waving her hand, "No, no."
She didn’t even know Feng Ciye, so how could she like him?
However, Su Li was a bit surprised, not expecting that Feng Ciye actually had a marriage contract when there was no news online.
Ji Xuewei chuckled again, "I’ll head back to the Ling Family now. If you need anything, feel free to reach out to us."
Ji Xuewei left without looking back, taking the endlessly crying Master Chen with her.
An Ruyi’s assistant excitedly came in holding a talisman, saying, "Sister Ruyi, this was sent by Li Jing. It’s specifically for you from Master Chen."
An Ruyi, while looking at a new script with a relaxed posture, said, "I lack nothing."
It seems that the things Li Jing and Master Chen handled for her were successful, improving An Ruyi’s mood even further.
The assistant, brimming with excitement, said, "But Master Chen said this talisman can attract romance, the kind of romance you most desire!"
An Ruyi froze momentarily, thoughts suddenly drifting to Feng Huaijin’s image...
