Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 696: I’m Waiting for You to Ask Me

"I just called her, and she said she was negotiating with some regular clients. It seemed like she had had quite a bit to drink, and I felt her mood was off, so I wanted to ask her where she was, but before I could even speak up, she hung up the phone."

Ji Weitian remembered the sounds she had heard on the phone just now, especially the person who kept pestering Kali, trying to get her to drink more. She couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease.

"Kali is in charge of the branch office. The day-to-day operations of the branch office do not need to be reported to the group all the time," Qin Nanyu’s thin lips parted slightly.

What he meant was that he also had no idea.

"No, I have to go find her. I just have a feeling that her state today isn’t quite right, like she’s angry with someone." Ji Weitian felt even more unsettled upon hearing Qin Nanyu also didn’t know.

Qin Nanyu stopped her from leaving.

"If I’m not wrong, she must have had a quarrel with He Feichen. Not long ago, He Feichen came to me, making a scene about wanting me to drink with him. I ignored him, and the next day, the He Family people took him back," Qin Nanyu explained.

To untie the bell, the person who tied it must do it.

If Kali was drowning her sorrows because of He Feichen, then their going there would be useless.

"But weren’t you saying that He Feichen was taken back by the He Family for a matchmaking session? Can he even come out now?" Ji Weitian asked, still uneasy.

Qin Nanyu’s dark eyes flickered uncertainly as he shook his head, "We’ll just have to try. Haven’t you always wanted to know whether He Feichen sincerely cares for Kali or not? The He Family lives in the courtyard, and it won’t be easy for He Feichen to slip out. If he’s caught, he’ll probably get a beating. I’ll just inform him, and then it’s up to him to decide."

Ji Weitian: "..."

Are he and He Feichen really friends?

Why did she feel like he harbored animosity toward He Feichen, as if waiting to see him in trouble?

Ji Weitian: "But what if He Feichen can’t make it out, or simply doesn’t want to come out, and Kali is all alone..."

"Kali is your friend. You should know better than I do what kind of person she is. I don’t think she would mix personal issues with business and drown her sorrows in alcohol at a client’s dinner."

After saying that, Qin Nanyu called his assistant and asked him to make a trip to the He Family Courtyard.

To pay a visit to He Feichen on behalf of Qin Nanyu, and incidentally pass the message to him.

Right after hanging up, he heard Ji Weitian let out an "ah."

She held up her phone to show him.

"Lili texted me, saying she’s finished with business and is about to head home now. She told me not to worry. Quickly, tell Assistant Song to stop notifying He Feichen!"

"Alright."

Qin Nanyu’s gaze swept across her phone and he responded indifferently, but made no move to act on it.

Turning around, he locked the car door and led Ji Weitian towards Nanpo Apartment.

After entering the elevator, he casually pinned her against the elevator’s inner wall, his arms bracing on either side of her body as he leaned in close.

His lips parting slightly, he murmured, "Ji Weitian, have you calmed down today?"

"...I, I’m not angry. It’s clearly you who got angry, and you even lashed out at me," Ji Weitian lifted her head to meet his deep black eyes, retorting subconsciously.

She had merely asked him why he hadn’t gone to see off Zhang Lingying, and instantly his face darkened.

Looking as if he was about to devour her.

Ji Weitian still felt a little scared when she thought about it now.

Qin Nanyu did not deny it, his stern face covered in an unreadable expression, and he continued with her line of questioning, "Since you could tell I was angry, do you know why I was angry?"

Ji Weitian: "Why?"
