Chapter 571 - 569: Go to see Gu Xiyao
Gu Xiyao laughed, "Doesn’t it feel awkward? We’re about the same age, calling you Tongtong feels more casual. Asking me to call you something else, I just can’t do it."
Indeed, she couldn’t do it either, Ji Niandong remained silent.
"I’m really happy you could come to see me today." Gu Xiyao said cheerfully, "Nian Nian seems to like you a lot too."
What did she mean by that? Ji Niandong just looked at her.
Gu Xiyao suddenly lay down and said, "I remember when Little Uncle held Nian Nian in his arms, he was so tiny, I almost thought this child wouldn’t make it, but Little Uncle treasured him so much, he invited many pediatric specialists to watch over him, and eventually, he grew up to be this big, it’s incredible."
She happily talked about Lu Sinian, but Ji Niandong had no desire to share in that joy.
While pondering, Lu Sinian had already come in with the nurse to change Gu Xiyao’s bandages. Ji Niandong could hardly sit still anymore. She came to visit the sick, indeed, and had a bellyful of words she wanted to say, but in front of this woman, it felt as if she had become the plunderer, taking away everything that originally belonged to her.
And yet this woman appeared poised and composed, chatting with her nicely.
"I’m sorry, I suddenly have something to do." She spoke first, "Is Nian Nian coming back with me, or staying here, should I come and pick you up later?"
Ji Niandong stared at her with a hint of expectation, and Lu Sinian immediately replied, "What does Sister Tongtong have to do?"
"Sister Tongtong has to go study."
"Then you go study first, and I’ll call Sister Tongtong later to pick me up. I’ll stay here to keep Sister Xiyao company, so that if I leave, there won’t be anyone to help her call the nurse to change the bandages."
Ji Niandong smiled a bit, "Then I’ll go first."
She stiffly said goodbye, then turned and left.
Phew! What’s the point of being bothered, you brought him here, so be generous!
Just as she stepped outside the company, she received a call from Ada, "Where are you now?"
"At home!" Ji Niandong immediately replied.
Ada directly asked, "What happened last night between you and Chi Yue?"
"What happened?" Ji Niandong curiously asked.
"Haven’t you seen the news?"
"I’ll check it first!" Ji Niandong hung up the phone and checked her phone while walking.
The headlines on major websites were all: Ji Niandong and Chi Yue suspected romance due to acting!
Below were photos of them having dinner together last night, and Chi Yue sending her home afterwards.
Clicking on Weibo, she and Chi Yue were trending at the top, marked with a fire emoji.
She clicked in and found out that this news had been trending for quite a while, what’s going on?
Because she hadn’t checked her phone while in the hospital room, it was only now she discovered that both Ada and Chi Yue had sent her messages.
She quickly called Ada back, "Last night I just had dinner with Chi Yue, and he happened to drive me home. Sister Ada, you should know very well, there’s no way I could have anything with another man."
Ada knew right from the start that she was Mrs. Lu!
"I don’t think you and Chi Yue have anything, but it happened so suddenly, and you didn’t inform me, plus you didn’t respond to my messages. Since that’s the case, I know how to handle it, but from now on, let me know anything at the first opportunity."
"I got it, sorry for the trouble, Sister Ada!"
After hanging up, Ji Niandong replied to Chi Yue’s message.
"Sorry, I go to that place often and have never been photographed before, sorry for dragging you into this!"
"It’s okay, after all, there’s nothing between us. Someone following us for candid photos just proves we’re popular."
Still using a comforting tone, Chi Yue immediately replied, "Whatever you decide, I’ll follow your lead!"
