The reason she had so many WhatsApp messages was because she had been added to a group without being asked, and the group messages had reached into the thousands in the ten days she had been in Japan.
Other WhatsApp messages were from her friends; a few of them knew she was at Japan, so they wanted her to purchase some stuff.
Qin Yinan had sent her a message as well. They were all greetings and his concern toward her. Before exiting WhatsApp, Song Qingchun replied with a hasty, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Most of the phone messages were missed calls notification from her phone company. Half of those calls were from Qin Yinan, some were from her colleague, and others were from Song Menghwa and Fang Rou; the rest were mostly advertisements.
Song Qingchun scanned through them and was about to turn off her phone again when she spotted a name among the list of senders.
Cheng Qingchong.
That's Su Zhinian's secretary… Why did she message me?
"Miss Song, good morning, I'm Cheng Qingchong, CEO Su's personal assistant. I need to talk to you about something; are you available or not?"
"Miss Song, have you received my message? I'm Cheng Qingchong, CEO Su's personal assistant."
"Miss Song…"
Cheng Qingchong had sent her ten messages, one for each day she was in Japan.
What does she want with me? And why is she so adamant? Does it have anything to do with Su Zhinian?
Song Qingchun stared at the phone in her hand, and she felt something stinging her eyes. She pulled her lips back and pretended not to have seen the messages from Cheng Qingchong. She returned to the home screen and made a call home.
The phone rang for several times before it was picked by Song Qingchun's sister-in-law. After Song Qingchun filled her in on the delivery details, she asked about Song Menghwa. When she was about to hang up, Fang Rou suddenly asked, "Qingchun, where are you now?"
"I'm in Tokyo."
"When are you coming back?"
"I don't know yet."
"I'm planning to go Japan soon with Sister Tang, where are you staying at Tokyo? How's the environment? Do you recommend we stay there?"
"I'm staying at Shangri-la Hotel; the place is not bad. You and Sister Tang should consider staying here…"
…
After hanging up the phone, Song Qingchun opened her messages to read through Cheng Qingchong's messages again. She bit on her lips before shutting down her phone.
That night, Song Qingchun decided to splurge on a dinner at a three-star Michelin restaurant. The price was rather expensive, but the food was worth every penny.
After dinner, Song Qingchun returned to her hotel completely satisfied. She enjoyed the spring bath for a wholesome half an hour before crawling back into her comfy bed. She wanted to call it a night, but she could not go to sleep no matter how hard she tried. Frustrated, she grabbed her phone and switched it on.
There was already a new message from Cheng Qingchong.
Song Qingchun flipped through her phone restlessly until she eventually replied to Cheng Qingchong.
"?"
Only then did she realize how unprincipled one could get when one was in love.
Su Zhinian was so cruel and heartless toward her; she should hate him to his core, but she simply couldn't let that part of herself die.
