Chapter 292 - 293: Mr. Sieve Jiao Yang [2]
Fifteen minutes was not nearly enough time for her to rush back to World City.
As Luo Xiaoqian contemplated how to explain the situation to Leng Zimo, she didn’t even glance at the person passing by and instinctively stepped to the side.
To her surprise, as she stepped left, the other person also stepped left, and when she moved right, they did the same.
This person was doing it on purpose, weren’t they?!
Luo Xiaoqian frowned and lifted her head to look at the other person.
Confronted with that wickedly grinning, devilishly handsome face, she felt overwhelmed.
"Xiao Qian?"
On the other end of the phone, Leng Zimo called out her name in confusion, not hearing a response from Luo Xiaoqian.
"I’m here..." Luo Xiaoqian frowned, looking helplessly at Jiao Yang as he made faces at her.
How could she have forgotten that such a devilish person existed in this world?!
"What’s wrong?" Leng Zimo sensed something off in her tone and asked with concern.
"I..." Luo Xiaoqian glared at Jiao Yang resentfully, "I’m not home; I’m outside. Just wait for me, I’ll be right back."
If it had been anyone else, she would have told Leng Zimo the truth straight away.
But Jiao Yang was a special case, and she really didn’t want to agitate Leng Zimo.
"Is it Leng Zimo?"
Jiao Yang deliberately leaned in close to her earpiece, raising his voice as he asked.
The devil, he was doing this on purpose!
Why couldn’t a lightning bolt from heaven strike this devil dead?
Grinding her teeth, Luo Xiaoqian glared at Jiao Yang with a piercing murderous look.
If Luo Xiaoqian’s eyes were guns, Jiao Yang would have been riddled with holes by now.
"Who is talking?!"
Hearing the male voice coming from the phone, Leng Zimo’s voice suddenly deepened.
"It’s..." Luo Xiaoqian bit her lip and directly told Leng Zimo the address of the restaurant, "Can you come here to me?"
Leng Zimo felt her tone was off but didn’t ask further, "Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Luo Xiaoqian lifted her face to look at Jiao Yang lazily leaning against a wooden rack.
"Can’t you disappear for just a little while?"
Jiao Yang started laughing, "Miss Luo Xiaoqian, with my brilliant and wise brain’s little analysis, could it be that you didn’t expect me to be the one who brought the barley man?"
Luo Xiaoqian glared at him without saying a word, which was as good as an admission.
"In that case, it’s not my fault!" Jiao Yang smiled with the corners of his eyes curving up, looking like a sly fox.
Luo Xiaoqian sighed heavily, her expression falling.
Jiao Yang wasn’t wrong; it was her who took it for granted that it would be Leng Zimo and her who willingly came here. Even if it was Jiao Yang who sent the card, she could have chosen not to come.
This really wasn’t his fault.
"I’m sorry!" she apologized proactively.
The person had given her a bouquet and invited her to dinner; even if it wasn’t what she wanted, at least they had extended the gesture. Her behavior towards him had been rather excessive.
A flicker of something peculiar appeared in Jiao Yang’s eyes, "You’re apologizing to me?"
"Yes," Luo Xiaoqian shrugged her shoulders, "You’re right, today really isn’t your fault, I’m just too dumb."
After taking a deep breath, the gloom on her face lifted, and her tone became more cheerful.
"Let’s go."
"Where to?" Jiao Yang followed, puzzled.
"To have dinner, of course!" Luo Xiaoqian strode into the restaurant, approaching the front desk receptionist who had helped her earlier, "Excuse me, the reservation was made by him."
The receptionist smiled and lifted her face to see Jiao Yang standing behind Luo Xiaoqian, her eyes immediately showing an impressed look.
