Chapter 714: The Mastermind is Right Beside Her!
Ji Weitian: "..."
"Relationships need time to develop, and if we don’t live together, it’s hard to build that relationship, don’t you think?" Qin Nanyu added another sentence when he saw she didn’t respond.
His reasoning seemed so sound that if she refused, it would appear as though she wasn’t sincere about their relationship.
Moreover, since they already had a child together, living together didn’t seem like such a big deal.
After careful consideration, Ji Weitian formally agreed, but set three rules: "I’m only agreeing to let you live in my room – we’re not agreeing to anything else. If I nod, you can’t take any liberties, understand?"
Kali had said that the worse the nature of a man, the less he cherishes what comes too easily.
Especially someone like Qin Nanyu, a peacock attracting so many others – if he lost attraction to her, she figured she’d quickly become an ex-wife.
To be safe, she decided to take precautions!
Qin Nanyu agreed without even thinking.
After discussing their living situation, Qin Nanyu recalled the reason he had come to Ji Weitian’s, "I can’t reach He Feichen, I suspect he’s at Kali’s place. But no one’s answering her phone either. You are best friends with her; do you have any other way to contact her?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Weitian took back her own phone and scrolled through it to find Kali’s landline number.
Following Qin Nanyu’s instructions, she called Kali.
The phone was quickly answered, Kali’s voice sounded congested, "Tiantian? Why are you calling at this hour?"
"That should be my question," Ji Weitian said bluntly. "What time is it now, and why do you sound like you just woke up? Is He Feichen there?"
Kali paused for several seconds before she responded, "He is indeed here, how did you know?"
Her voice was soft, slightly guilty.
After all, not too long ago, she had vehemently assured Ji Weitian that she and He Feichen had nothing to do with each other, yet in the blink of an eye, he was staying at her place...
It was indeed quite embarrassing.
Kali quickly tried to explain herself.
"Listen, I really don’t have anything to do with him. That day, after you called me – I was dealing with a client outside – someone told him I was drunk and might be in danger. He actually sneaked out of his house."
"..."
"He was grounded at the time and got caught sneaking out by his family, who punished him severely. He was beaten quite badly. And yet, instead of healing properly, he scaled the wall and ran out again in the middle of the night, his face bruised, and came here, asking if I was okay... You didn’t see him; he looked like he was half-dead. If I had sent him away, he might have died on the way here."
Kali couldn’t help but sigh, "Who could he have possibly offended for them to use fake news to lure him out and get him beaten up like this?"
"..."
Ji Weitian held her phone, silently looking up, glancing at Qin Nanyu who sat on the armrest of her chair, looking indifferent.
The instigator was right beside her.
She hesitated whether to tell Kali.
"By the way, I never told you. How did you know He Feichen was here?" Kali asked curiously.
Ji Weitian: "..."
Just as she was about to crumble under pressure and expose Qin Nanyu, he took the phone from her himself.
