Chapter 136: Qin Xue withdrew the message

~6 min read 1,180 words

The other end of the phone had always been unanswered.

Lu Chi, in order to let Su Yun Jiao know about this as soon as possible, sent her another message.

But soon Lu Chi discovered that he had previously been blocked by Su Yun Jiao, and it seemed he had not yet been unblocked.

Thinking of this, Lu Chi's expression also turned grim; he could only try to find Zhou Tingting, but Zhou Tingting had likewise blocked him at some point.

At that moment, a message suddenly popped up on Lu Chi's phone.

It was from Qin Xue.

"Lu Chi, I have a problem I can't solve; could you teach me?"

Qin Xue's voice message sounded troubled.

Lu Chi furrowed his brows, then called Qin Xue.

Qin Xue did not expect Lu Chi's call to come so quickly.

Because recently they basically had no interaction.

Qin Xue still thought that this time Lu Chi had figured things out, and that he was calling because he missed her.

Who knew Lu Chi would blurt out: "Su Yun Jiao might be in trouble; help me send her a message to get me unblocked from her blacklist."

Lu Chi's opening words were about Su Yun Jiao; Qin Xue forced a smile and said: "What exactly is making you so anxious? Why don't you tell me, and I'll directly tell Su Yun Jiao."

Qin Xue had previously added Su Yun Jiao as a friend, but the two had never spoken.

Lu Chi said: "Don't worry about it; this isn't something you should know. Have Su Yun Jiao call me back right away."

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up, Qin Xue opened Su Yun Jiao's chat window.

She stared at Su Yun Jiao in the chat box, but remained silent for a long time.

Should she have Su Yun Jiao go find Lu Chi?

What if Lu Chi actually wants to be with Su Yun Jiao—what then?

After hesitating a moment, Qin Xue still decided to first send Su Yun Jiao a message to see.

But after sending the message, Qin Xue merely took a screenshot and then regretted it, withdrawing it.

No, if Lu Chi really is doing this for Su Yun Jiao to be together, then my position would be terribly dangerous.

Lu Chi's attitude toward me has always been aloof; if Su Yun Jiao now shows up and interferes, my relationship with him would become even more dangerous.

After a while, Qin Xue sent the screenshot to Lu Chi, saying: "Su Yun Jiao hasn't replied to me; she's probably asleep right now. Lu Chi, what exactly do you need from Su Yun Jiao?"

"Don't worry about it."

Lu Chi ignored Qin Xue, merely anxiously waiting for Su Yun Jiao to call him back.

The next morning.

After waking up, Su Yun Jiao discovered two messages on her phone.

But upon opening the phone, she found it was merely a message that Qin Xue had withdrawn.

Su Yun Jiao frowned.

What is Qin Xue doing?

Su Yun Jiao also didn't bother, just thinking Qin Xue had misclicked.

When Su Yun Jiao went downstairs to have breakfast, she found only Liu Ma bustling about: "Liu Ma, where is Brother Jingqing?"

"Mr. Lu got up early and left; probably there's a meeting at the company. Miss Su, please have your meal first—weren't you supposed to go out studying with Young Master Zhou and Miss Zhou?"

"Not for studying; Zhou Tingting said the suburban snow scenery is especially beautiful, suggesting we take some New Year photos together."

The New Year is coming up soon.

Zhou Tingting is a girl who loves beauty immensely; she probably wants to take more pretty photos, so she invited Su Yun Jiao along.

"Oh, I see. Then Miss Su, you must be careful—it's freezing outside lately, so wear more clothes."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao wasn't worried about clothing, as Lu Jingqing had already bought her many warm clothes.

Today she's going out with Zhou Xian and the others, so she shouldn't need to worry about warmth.

After casually eating a couple bites, Su Yun Jiao received a message from Zhou Tingting.

Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian had already been waiting outside.

Seeing Su Yun Jiao rush out anxiously, Zhou Tingting said: "Why are you running so fast? We can't escape either."

"It's not that I'm afraid of making you wait anxiously, is it?"

Su Yun Jiao quickly got into the car.

Zhou Tingting gossiped, asking: "Did you greet Lu Jingqing when you came out?"

"Not yet; I had intended to say it last night but forgot, and this morning Brother Jingqing went to the company, so I still haven't had a chance."

"Is that so."

Zhou Tingting pondered: "No wonder; I guess if you told Lu Jingqing you were going out to play with us, he'd surely be unhappy."

"Why?"

"Because my brother is there."

Zhou Tingting smirked: "Lu Jingqing certainly wouldn't want you to be so close to my brother; he'd definitely be jealous."

"Jealous?"

Su Yun Jiao had never seen Lu Jingqing act jealous.

Moreover, she wouldn't be narcissistic, thinking Lu Jingqing would be jealous over her.

That would be nearly impossible for Lu Jingqing.

Su Yun Jiao gave an embarrassed laugh, saying: "Maybe, maybe I just don't know when Lu Jingqing gets jealous."

No way!

Lu Jingqing would never be jealous of himself.

Su Yun Jiao thought this in her heart.

Zhou Xian sat up front and said, "You'd better send a message to Boss Lu; if you don't check in, he'll definitely worry."

I've already told Liu Ma at home, so I'll send him another message.

As usual, being obedient, Su Yun Jiao took out her phone and sent a message to Lu Jingqing.

However, no one replied from that end.

I guess Brother Jingqing is still in a meeting right now; I'll call him later after it's over.

Su Yun Jiao tucked her phone away.

It's just going out to have fun; Lu Jingqing is being way too controlling.

Tingting, don't spout nonsense—that's Boss Lu, you can't just call him by name.

Hearing Zhou Xian's words, Zhou Tingting unhappily pursed her lips: "Got it."

The car kept heading toward the suburbs.

Here.

Inside Lu Company.

Lu Jingqing was listening to an international meeting in the conference room; for some reason, he felt a bit of a headache today.

Boss Lu, should we call off the meeting?

Secretary Li noticed that Lu Jingqing's expression was a bit strange.

Lu Jingqing shook his head and said, "No need, continue."

"……."

After about an hour and a half, the meeting finally ended.

Lu Jingqing said, "Where's my phone?"

It's here; I set it to silent during the meeting.

Secretary Li handed the phone to Lu Jingqing.

Lu Jingqing glanced at the phone's message and indeed saw the one Su Yun Jiao had sent him.

Su Yun Jiao, Zhou Xian, and their group went to the suburbs to play.

Lu Jingqing frowned and said, "Send someone to follow them; don't let Su Yun Jiao run around recklessly."

Yes, Boss Lu.
