â[I have a front-facing photo here. Do you want to see it?]â
ââ¦â
Qin Youxuan reacted quickly this time. Her fingers moved as she typed,[Who are you?]
The text message was successfully sent, but it sank into the void, receiving no reply at all.
She waited for nearly half an hour, but her phone remained silent.
She pressed her hand to her forehead, slumping back into the chair.
After a while, she got up from the chair, picked up her clothes, and headed into the bathroom.
Just as she came out after her shower, she heard her phone ringing.
Her nerves tensed, and she subconsciously looked around.
Damn it, she wasnât under surveillance even when she was taking a shower, was she?
She swore she would gouge out the eyes of whoever that wasâ¦
âXuan, whatâs going on? Youâre answering the phone so late, I thought you were asleepâ¦â
As soon as she picked up the phone, Ning Yananâs voice came roaring through it.
Qin Youxuanâs tightened heart relaxed instantly.
âYou almost scared me to death. I thought I had really encountered a supernatural event.â
âWhat are you talking about? Have you been watching horror movies recently? Or are you lacking love now that Mr. Jie is not around? Youâve become such a scaredy-cat.â Ning Yanan teased.
âGo ahead and make fun of me. Wait till you get a boyfriend, youâll have it coming.â Qin Youxuan didnât let her hair stay wet for too long. Holding the phone in one hand, she gently patted the water on her long hair with a towel in the other.
âOh? Are you scoffing at me because I canât get a boyfriend? Youâre showing off your love right in front of me, just you wait, see how Iâll deal with you!â Ning Yanan growled menacingly, then changed her tune and the two women started chatting about day-to-day life.
As they chatted, Qin Youxuan gradually relaxed.
From Ning Yanan, Qin Youxuan also learned that Jiang Jinchen seemed indeed interested in Ning Yanan and had done many inexplicable things for her.
Like driving to Ning Yananâs newspaper office every day to pick her up and drop her off.
Or calling her three times a day to remind her to eat on time after Ning Yanan refused his offers of a ride.
If Ning Yanan didnât pick up his call, a boxed meal would be delivered to the newspaper office on time, and not just any meal, but a super luxurious set meal.
Plus an eye-catching bunch of flowers, either red roses or blue roses, he always created a big fuss, making sure everyone knew about it.
Ning Yanan, angered by his behavior, grabbed a bouquet and stormed over to confront him. She almost tore him apart, but that man simply shrugged and said, âIf you dare to ignore my calls again, Iâll call your newspaper office and announce that youâre my girlfriend. Guess, whether youâll be your own headline the following day?â
Guess, your sister!
Your whole family come and guess!
Ning Yanan was so angry that smoke was coming out of her seven orifices, she was almost bleeding to death.
âXuan, heâs a maniac. You donât know, our editor-in-chief comes to see me every day now, asking whether good news is approaching. Iâm driven to my witsâ end by that bastard Jiang Jinchenâ¦â
Ning Yanan suddenly wilted, showing her frustration.
This was the first time Qin Youxuan had heard her sound so despondent. It seemed that Jiang Jinchen was really getting to her.
âIf he can persist for so long, perhaps he genuinely cares for you. Would you consider giving him a chance?â Qin Youxuan tentatively asked.
âForget it. Others may not know what I am afraid of, but you should. I am not interested in these wealthy young masters. Besides, even if I were fond of this kind of spoilt brat, will his family accept me?â
Ning Yanan spoke pensively, âXuan, I may not be on par with you, but my pride doesnât allow anyone to belittle my dignity.â
