Chapter 824: His Anticipation
On the balcony, a tall figure was wearing a sleeping robe. One of his hands was on the railing and the other was holding his phone. He picked up the call.
“Xiao Ke, did I wake you up?” Jin Yan’s gentle voice came from the other side of the phone.
“Since Mr. Jin knows it’s late, why did you call?” Qiao Yu said without hesitation.
The person on the other side went silent for a moment and said suddenly, “President Qiao, it’s not good to pick up people’s calls like this.”
“Mr. Jin calling someone else’s wife in the middle of the night seems even more ridiculous,” Qiao Yu retorted directly.
It was very quiet at night. Even the voice on the other side of the phone was very clear.
“President Qiao seems to have made a mistake.”
Qiao Yu stared at the dark night ahead and his pupils contracted. But he did not speak. Instead, he waited for the person on the other side to answer.
“You and Xiao Ke are no longer husband and wife.”
Qiao Yu’s eyes flashed coldly. “But she’s sleeping on my bed now. It’s only a matter of time before she gets married to me.”
“President Qiao is a successful businessman. He’s always confident.” Jin Yan’s voice was very soft. He could even hear the slight happiness in his voice.
But this kind of happiness sounded extremely unpleasant.
“Because I have the capital,” Qiao Yu said coldly.
The person on the other side went silent again as if he was explaining, “Actually, I called to tell Xiao Ke not to be late for the MV tomorrow. When she had an important job, I was the one who reminded her. But President Qiao is now her pillow. You can help me remind her.”
“What MV?” Qiao Yu frowned.
“My new MV will be shooting tomorrow. Xiao Ke promised to be the female lead of my MV.” On the other side of the phone, Jin Yan’s voice sounded somewhat helpless. “Looks like President Qiao doesn’t know about this. Xiao Ke is so careless. She didn’t even tell you something so important.”
“It’s just an MV. It’s not worth my attention,” Qiao Yu added without any mercy. “Even if it’s shot, so what? In her heart, some people are just like tall buildings in the city. They look good, but they are just scenery. She might see it but won’t remember it.”
“Really? It’s good that you can think like this, President Qiao. The gossip yesterday really wronged Xiao Ke. President Qiao, don’t be mad at Xiao Ke.”
“Mr. Jin, you know very well who wronged her,” Qiao Yu looked to the front and said calmly. “Of course I won’t be mad at her. But I won’t let others do whatever they want.”
“If I knew, I would have taken revenge long ago. But with President Qiao’s words, I’m relieved. It’s getting late. President Qiao, get some rest.”
“Mr. Jin, you better keep doing what you say!” Qiao Yu said coldly and hung up directly.
He looked at his phone with a dark look in his eyes.
It was such a late call. Was he really here to show his concern or to show off?! Qiao Yu turned around and saw the room behind him. He frowned a little. He walked in and sat by the bed, watching her sleeping quietly.
At this time, he could not bear to blame her for getting those gossips that were bothering him.
If a man coveted her, it could only mean that she was good enough. After all, she had said before that she did not like that person and he trusted her.
Feeling the itch on her face, Xia Ning waved her hand subconsciously. “Stop it.” As she spoke, she turned around and fell asleep again.
Qiao Yu saw her back to him and chuckled. He went up to her and held her in his arms. His hand fell on her abdomen subconsciously. Yes, he had been looking forward to it.
