Ye Junqing smirked but said nothing. Silence worked better than words at this point, making Ye Xingguang feel her face getting hot, like a boiled crab.
Thinking, she took out her phone to ease the awkwardness, “What’s your sister-in-law’s phone number?”
“For what?” Ye Junqing asked while casually toweling off his hair.
“l received a call from the station, saying there was a flash flood here, and they asked me to rush over. I left without telling your sister-in-law. I need to call and explain that work prevented me from continuing to attend her birthday celebration.”
Ye Junqing looked at her, “So it was because of the station’s call that you left without saying a word.”
“Of course!” At this moment, Ye Xingguang claimed with conviction.
Ye Junqings expression suddenly turned sour. He knitted his handsome brows, a touch of sadness ringing in his voice, “l thought you were jealous.”
“Are you out of your mind? Who would I be jealous of?” Ye Xingguang raised her voice, feigning surprise with her acting skills.
Ye Junqing frowned at her exaggerated expression, scoffed, giving her a sarcastic, “Huh…
Ye Xingguang patted her hair, quickly saying, “Give me your sister-in-law’s number, quick. I messed up her birthday party and didn’t get her a gift. I need to apologize. It’s all due to my job – when something comes up, 1 have to go. I left so abruptly… wait, why are you here too? You didn’t come after me, did
Ye Junqing menacingly glared at her chattering lips, pulled up the number on his phone, and handed it to her. His actions brimmed with blatant displeasure, his voice tremendously annoyed, “Stop daydreaming, ask the driver!”
The driver shivered in surprise, then carefully explained, “Master Junqing heard on the radio that a bus was trapped, so he rushed over to assist. We never thought we’d run into Miss Ye.” “Oh, that’s quite the act of justice.”
For some reason, Ye Xingguang felt a tinge of disappointment.
However, thinking back to Ye Junqing half- submerged in flood water, rescuing the tantrum-ridden children and bringing them to her side, she couldn’t help but hold him in high esteem. She wondered where his rumored toxicity lay?
Then, she picked up Ye Junqings phone, dialing Yi Yujian to explain her abrupt departure. noveldrama
Yi Yujian was very understanding, didn’t pry for the truth, but curiously asked, “Miss Ye, are you with my younger brother now? Did he carry you like a princess earlier? And, are you wearing a black raincoat?”
Ye Xingguang was surprised, “Sister-in-law, how do you know what I’m wearing?”
Yi Yujian lightly chuckled, “A TD News reporter filmed you both. The news is now being broadcast all over, everyone’s probably looking at your pictures on their phones. The public impression isn’t great.”
“What?”
Ye Xingguang immediately checked the news on her phone, fuming with anger, “Nonsense! That’s not at all what happened. He was there to rescue with his security guards. They saved most of the kids trapped on the bus. The rescue team arrived later, that’s when he took me away. The TD News reporter completely twisted the facts! Sister-in-law, I need to go now.. I have to fight against their lies with the truth!”
