Shi Qian smiled calmly. “I wouldn’t ask. I trust Shang Sizhan, not you.”
Shi Qian stood up and turned to leave afterward.
He knew that Beiming Yue was up to no good!
Murong Jing stood outside the door. Her ears perked up to listen to what the two talked about.
Shi Qian came out. Murong Jing immediately said apologetically, “Qianqian,
I’m sorry. I don’t know why the Sect Master suddenly came over.”
“I’m fine,” Shi Qian replied lazily. She paused for a moment. She deliberately raised her voice and said, “I came here to tell you that I’ve been too busy recently and can’t help you find the girl who dumped your sect master.” Murong Jing stood rooted in the ground.
Beiming Yue’s roar came from the office. “Murong Jing, get your ass in here!”
Murong Jing was startled.
Who did she offend?
Shi Qian smiled. “I’ll be leaving first. You can look for me another day or meet somewhere else.”
“Okay, let’s meet another day.”
Shi Qian returned to the King’s Garden.
A figure appeared at night.
Shi Qian nestled on the sofa on the balcony. She couldn’t help but think of the woman with the surname Feng that Beiming Yue had mentioned.
She didn’t believe Beiming Yue’s nonsense about Shang Sizhan having a young lover and their trip in the forest. She felt there should be a woman with the surname Feng who knew Shang Sizhan.
Maybe she liked him. Or he even chased her.
But Shang Sizhan must have rejected her coldly.
That must be the case.
Shi Qian could not help but think about that process again.
How did Shang Sizhan reject another woman? Did they talk about parting ways in the grove?
A small forest!
Shi Qian immediately grabbed her hair. “What am I thinking?”
How could he listen to Beiming Yue’s nonsense?
She picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was almost ten o’clock. She wondered if Shang Sizhan was still busy with work.
Why didn’t he video call her today?
Shi Qian hesitated for a while. She sent a message to Shang Sizhan.
[I wouldn’t disturb you if you’re still busy.]
She sent the message.
A minute has passed.
Three minutes.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes!
No response appeared on her phone.
Shi Qian looked at her phone screen in a daze. “Was he still busy?”
He should still be busy, so it was better not to disturb him.
Shi Qian opened the game to distract herself with this thought in mind. However, she was a little absent-minded and unconsciously lost her head! Huo Fei’s surprised voice came from the voice chat. “Sister Qian, are you the one playing?”
Shi Qian coughed lightly. She said, “I was doing something else just now and unconsciously made a mistake.”
“I was thinking! That move just now was too weak. I thought someone was playing with your account!”
Shi Qian froze open-mouthed.
She decided to quit after this game and just draw comics.
Soon, the round ended. Shi Qian said, “You guys continue playing. I’m leaving.” “Don’t! Only one round remains tonight.”
“I’m sleepy. I’m going to sleep.”
“Why do you sleep so early?!”
“Yes.” Shi Qian replied and logged out of the game.
It was almost eleven o’clock. No reply from Shang Sizhan appeared.
The helicopter propellers gradually sounded in the night sky as she pondered whether to call Shang Sizhan.
Shi Qian looked out the window.
Then, he saw the helicopter hover in the night sky.
“Shang Sizhan was back?”
She watched the helicopter until it got closer and landed in the courtyard.
A tall and elegant figure got off the plane. Shang Sizhan had returned.
No wonder he didn’t reply to her message. He was on the plane.
He didn’t even tell her in advance that he was coming back..
