?Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Kong Ling’s Recklessness Again Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Kong Ling’s Recklessness Again Kong Ling took the elevator alone back to the restaurant reserved by the program team, ready to have a meal.
As soon as she sat down, she noticed Qiao Ruoxin’s mobile phone on the dining table, with over a dozen missed calls.
The note disyed “Little Ghost.”
Who is Little Ghost?
While Kong Ling was wondering, the phone started vibrating again—it was another call from the contact saved as “Little Ghost.”
Kong Ling hesitated for a moment, then answered the call, “Hello, Qiao Ruoxin is not here right now, I’ll have her call you back when she returns.”
An icy voice came from the other end of the phone, “Who are you?”
Kong Ling stiffened—was this the voice of Mo Chen?
Suddenly, she had a wicked idea.
“I am her friend.”
“Where has she gone?”
Kong Ling struggled internally for a few seconds but eventually said, “Not too sure, I saw Lu Xingyu pulling her out of the hotel earlier, not sure what they were off to do, but it looked like they had some private business to attend to.”
Using a tone that was intentionally misleading.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for ten seconds before the call ended.
Looking at the phone screen that indicated the call had ended.
Kong Ling let out a coldugh. The situation was Qiao Ruoxin’s own making; she was just restating it from a bystander’s perspective. That wasn’t so bad, was it?
As for how Mo Chen would interpret it, that was out of her hands.
…
Hospital.
Ruoxin’s face had been treated, and she was now icing it, hoping to reduce the swelling quickly, especially since she had a recording that evening.
Lu Xingyu wrapped the ice pack with disposable medical gauze, preparing to help her with the coldpress.
She instinctively pulled back, “I can do it myself.”
After all, both of their social media followings were sorge; if someone captured an intimate moment between them, it would create a media frenzy.
Lu Xingyu chuckled lightly, “Being so cautious, afraid of rumors?”
“I have a boyfriend now, he doesn’t like others touching me.” She applied the ice pack to her face, immediately feeling much morefortable.
Lu Xingyu raised an eyebrow, the disbelief clear in his tone, “Really? You just rified on Weibo yesterday that you’re not dating.”
“…”
She had no response.
Qiao Ruoxin held the ice pack to her face with one hand and reached for her mobile phone with the other, only to realize she didn’t have it with her!
“Looking for this? Your phone? Use mine.”
She looked at Lu Xingyu’s phone that he was offering her, hesitating whether to take it or not. But Mo Chen would definitely call around this time, and it would cause him to lose his temper if she didn’t answer.
“Thank you.”
Qiao Ruoxin took the phone and dialed her own number, then after a few rings, someone picked up.
Seeing her on the phone, Lu Xingyu conscientiously walked away, giving her space.
“Brother Mo Chen, it’s me, I left my phone at the hotel.”
A cold and frightening voice came from the other end, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing much, just dealing with a small injury at the hospital, it’s not serious.”
“Injured?”
“Yeah, but it’s not serious. You don’t need toe over.”
“So a man is with you, and you fucking don’t need me now?” Sure enough, Mo Chen’s temper red.
“…” She frowned slightly, “Who told you that? Forget it, thene over, to Hospital 302.”
“Hmm.”
The bastard replied coldly and then hung up the phone.
After Qiao Ruoxin ended the call, she felt somewhat angry. Was Mo Chen having someone spy on her?
But the program’s recording has always been under strict confidentiality; non-staff weren’t allowed in at all!
Who has been spreading rumors?
Seeing that she had finished the call, Lu Xingyu approached her, “What’s wrong? You don’t look so good.”
She handed the phone back to the man, “It’s nothing, thank you, Teacher Lu.”
