Chapter 716: The Person Standing Behind the Truth...
"He Feichen, why don’t you dare to answer Young Master Yu’s call?" Kali, holding her own phone, walked up and discreetly dialed Qin Nanyu’s number as she approached He Feichen.
Once Qin Nanyu picked up, taking advantage of He Feichen’s inattention, she immediately switched on the speaker and handed it to him, while saying, "It’s Young Master Yu’s call. If you dare hang up now, Young Master Yu will know you did it on purpose!"
As soon as Kali finished her sentence, she quickly jumped back a meter away, in case He Feichen, backed into a corner, would lash out at her.
All she could do for her best friend was just that much.
Kali stood beside the bed, reached for a pillow, and hugged it to her chest, watching He Feichen warily.
He Feichen had not expected her to pull such a move and was still stunned when suddenly he heard Qin Nanyu’s voice, "I need your help with something. If you hang up again, I’ll have no choice but to call the He Family and tell them your current location."
He Feichen’s finger, poised to hang up the phone, froze mid-air.
After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and spoke, "What is it, speak!"
"Somebody has been spreading rumors about me and Zhang Lingying online. I want to know the source of this news. Is half a day enough time for you?" Qin Nanyu said briskly.
"Enough, wait for my message." Without waiting for Qin Nanyu to say anything else, He Feichen hung up the phone.
He looked up and caught a glimpse of Kali standing in front of him with her mouth slightly agape in astonishment, "Young Master Yu is in a hurry to find you for help, not to break up with you?"
He Feichen: "Break up?"
Kali snapped back to reality in a second, realizing her imagination might have run a bit wild, and hastily corrected herself, "I mean, who’s got the guts to spread rumors about Young Master Yu? You must find this person!"
She hurriedly changed the subject, finished speaking, and turned to fetch a laptop for He Feichen.
She placed the computer on the table and also pulled out a chair for him, putting on airs as if serving an emperor, inviting him to take a seat.
Helping him with a massage, she said, "Young Master He, is this comfortable?"
"..."
He Feichen hadn’t intended to use the computer in front of Kali, but upon meeting her obsequious gaze, he somehow found himself sitting in front of the computer desk.
God knows, after chasing Kali for so long, whether she was glaring at him with a snarl or resorting to kicking and punching, he would be grateful for even a single kind word from her, let alone being served with a smile like now.
"Lili, I want a kiss." He Feichen puckered his lips.
"Smack—"
A slap landed on the back of his head, accompanied by Kali’s low growl, "My patience has its limits, don’t push your luck!"
He Feichen: "..."
Tender as water indeed was an illusion, fiery rose was truly his Kali.
But even though she treated him so harshly, he still liked it terribly.
He Feichen couldn’t explain it, with so many women chasing after him relentlessly, lining up to date him, and his family arranging a slew of well-bred young ladies waiting for him to meet; yet he preferred to seek masochism here.
Being hit, scolded, and despised, yet still like a moth to a flame, he wanted her and no one else.
Finally, under Kali’s urging, he identified the ID that had spread the rumors.
He immediately called Qin Nanyu—
At the same time.
Jiangcheng University Laboratory.
Zhang Lingying, who had just finished an experiment, was leaving alone with her bag on her back, walking towards the outside of the school while browsing the news on her phone.
Suddenly, someone appeared in front of her, blocking her path!
