“Young Madam, you’re back,” Miss Liu welcomed them from the living room and when she saw Ye Qiao, she immediately made a polite curtsy, “This must be your friend, welcome.”
“This is Ye Qiao, this is miss Liu.” Ning Xiaofei made a brief introduction, then asked Miss Liu to take Ye Qiao inside, “I’ll go get her something to eat.”
“You two sit, I’ll go!” Miss Liu smiled and went into the kitchen, while the two girls walked into the living room together.
Plopping herself onto the big comfortable sofa, Ye Qiao then looked at Ning Xiaofei with a wicked grin, “Clothes are within reach, food comes in mouthfuls, and a handsome man to bed at night… This is my ideal life. How come you’re living it first? It’s not fair!”
Ning Xiaofei tossed her an orange, “You might as well pamper yourself and get plenty of food and clothing!”
Ye Qiao was just mean-spirited in temperament. The two have been friends for so many years, so Ning Xiaofei knew her well.
Ye Qiao caught the orange, and she started ordering someone around, “Xiao Fei, turn the TV on for this Master!”
“Yes!” Ning Xiaofei grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV, “Which channel does Young Master want to watch?”
“Let it run, I’ll browse first.”
Ning Xiaofei pressed the programs one by one and saw Xicheng on one channel, Ye Qiao immediately shouted for her to stop.
“Come on, come on, look at your rumored boyfriend.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, we have a platonic relationship.”
Ye Qiao poofed and laughed, “Are there still platonic relationships between men and women these days? Only ghosts would believe in your lies. Honestly, confess, upper or lower body friendship…….”
Ning Xiaofei then reached out and pinched her in the side ribs, “I’ll develop a lower body friendship with you right now.”
As it happened, Miss Liu had just brought in their food, so the two girls were too embarrassed to mess with each other and hurriedly seated themselves to watch TV.
“…I apologize for causing trouble to Miss Ning Xiaofei and the Dialogue with God column team. Today, I would like to solemnly say sorry to Miss Ning Xiaofei.” On the screen, Xicheng looked around, his gaze was already icy cold, “From now on, all media must immediately stop reporting this matter and the harassment of Miss Ning Xiaofei. Otherwise, I will immediately take legal action. I do what I say!”
Ning Xiaofei smirked, while Ye Qiao forked a piece of cake.
“This Xicheng is still upright, he’s worthy of being my male god!” Speaking of which, she gave Ning Xiaofei another sidelong glare, “You’ve got all the handsome guys running after you. Isn’t it a bit much for you, a married woman, to keep occupying the husband of us unmarried girls?”
By this time, the conference was over and Xicheng got up and left the room, simply ignoring the reporters’ pursuing questions.
When the TV show switched to a commercial, Ning Xiaofei’s phone rang. When she saw the number of Xicheng above, she hurriedly answered it.
“I’ve cleared things up about our affairs with the media. After a couple of days, the limelight will pass. You don’t have to worry too much.”
“I just watched it on TV, thank you!”
“It was originally my fault.” Xicheng paused for a bit, “When you have time sometime, let’s meet…I mean, I want to get that coat back. My sister sent that to me from abroad, I’m afraid she won’t be happy knowing.”
Mu Tianye had thrown that coat long ago, so she didn’t know which dumpsit it was. How was she going to find it?
“Uhm…” Ning Xiaofei was instantly embarrassed, “I’m so sorry, that coat, I-I accidentally lost it. Otherwise, shall I… I pay you back or buy you another one?”
