Chapter 67: An Unexpected Surprise
Unexpectedly, Yu Jingxi would definitely haunt me after diagnosis and treatment, so I left the hospital directly after sending a blood sample. As a result, less than five minutes after I left, her phone calls came one after another.
"Why don't you answer my phone! Are you already running! Yu Jingxi was angry, she should have thought of the result.
"The company is in a bit of a hurry, you can take a taxi back by yourself." At this time, I had already driven the car a few kilometers away, and I couldn't avoid her, let alone go back to pick her up.
"I knew it was going to happen! You liar! Yu Jingxi roared on the other end of the phone.
"Yesterday I only said that I would take you to the hospital, and I didn't say that I would send you back." I don't take anything for granted, and I'm not a worldly human being.
"You! You'd better not let me run into it again today! β
"Don't worry, you won't be able to touch it. When the phone came in, I hung up first. After a few scribbles, I hung up the phone, and the last sentence was not that I was fooling her, it was really a call coming in, but it was an unfamiliar number. My phone number has always been confidential, and there are only a few people who know it, so the caller is either an acquaintance or a person with great powers.
"Mr. Gong, hello. I'm Xia Zhongmou. I hesitated for a moment to pick up the phone, and to my surprise, it was him.
"Is there something wrong?" In the light of yesterday's tie-up, I don't have a good breath.
"That's the case, there must have been some misunderstanding between us yesterday, Mr. Gu and I want to have a dinner with you in the evening, do you think you have time?" Xia Zhongmou was very polite, and he didn't talk like a gangster boss at all.
"Which Mr. Gu? Gu Feng? "When did these two get together? I couldn't help but be suspicious.
"Yes, Mr. Gu and Xia have been friends for many years, so ......"
"I don't have to eat, I don't have time at night." Dinner is the kind of communication I don't like the most, and I rejected Xia Zhongmou in one bite. But Xia Zhongmou felt that things had taken a turn for the better, and after I said this, he didn't give up and said: It's okay, Mr. Gong, you are busy first, we are waiting for you! You can wait as many nights as you want! β
"No......" didn't have to say a word, and as soon as he spit out a word, he immediately snatched my words away.
"Miss Yu will also come in the evening, I called her. Do you see if it's ......" Xia Zhongmou is really not an ordinary character, he has only seen me once, and he has grasped my key point.
"I'll have my assistant get back to you later." I deliberately delayed for a moment before I was embarrassed. Yu Qingyan goes, Gu Feng goes, then I have no reason not to go, it's just that what I want to go to can't be too obvious in front of Xia Zhongmou.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your call. Excuse me, goodbye. β
After hanging up the phone, I looked at my pocket watch, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. I wanted to go back to the seaside villa to tell Lord SΓΉ Shaliye the good news of my advancement, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate. I'm going to take the initiative myself, and I can't let her know about the Golden Eye of Horus and the confirmation of Lingge for the time being. Before I could think about it, another call came in, and today's mobile phone business can be described as busy.
"Director, is there something wrong?" The phone call was from pictures and texts, and with his unsparing help last night, the relationship between me and him was a lot more cordial.
"Ah, nothing serious. You forgot to tell you when you left today, you used the Death Scythe last night, and it was already detected by the Grim Reaper. β
"They're coming to you for trouble?" The library is the gateway to the underworld, and this is something that the demons who operate on earth know, and the Grim Reaper also knows it.
"Not really, but I feel a little more darkness around the library, and those guys are probably eyeing it." The picture and text said it indifferently, but the more I listened, the more nervous I became. Figure's presence in the light is a danger in the sky, and his library has been safe for years because these guys from the underworld are afraid of the power of the caretaker. But the current situation is very unfavorable, killing the Grim Reaper and hiding the scythe is already a taboo for the two of us, in case the Grim Reaper knows the truth, Tuwen and I will be recalled to the underworld for trial.
"You hide the scythe first so that the Grim Reaper can't find it, they can't do anything to you without evidence, I'll rush over now." I quickly made a turn and headed for the library. I owe him a favor, and of course I should bear the blame.
"You don't even want to come to me lately, because it's easy to arouse their suspicion. There were guards up and down the library, and they didn't dare to do anything to me. I'm calling to remind you that they may soon suspect you. You are alone, so don't clash with them head-on. "Maybe it's because I've become a fourth-level demon that makes him look at me differently, and Tuwen's care for me has increased a lot.
"They can't hurt me." Death and demons have always been harmonious because of their different duties, but in terms of strength, they are almost the same as sixth- and seventh-level demons.
"Of course I'm not worried about trouble with you, but in case those cunning guys target the people around you...... You should know that the Grim Reaper is best at weaving doom for humans, and they hold the wheel of fate in their hands, and it is easy to take people's lives. β
"I see what you mean, head of the room." When it comes to the people around me, the first thing that comes to my mind is Yu Qingyan, although I am now a fourth-level demon, I feel that I am not as good as before. Because of too many worries and concerns, doing things is constrained.
"Well, pay more attention to yourself. By the way, have you gone back to see Lord Shaliye? The picture and text asked very casually.
"Not yet." I tightened the steering wheel, and hearing the name of Lord Shalier made me nervous inexplicably.
"You should have gone back to see her sooner." It sounds like advice and like Tuwen knows something, Lord Shaliye's side must already know about my advancement, so what will she do to me when I go back? What kind of attitude should I have towards her?
"I will." I said frankly that I didn't want Tuwen to hear anything unusual, but I didn't really plan to go back.
"So, I'm hanging."
"Okay, goodbye." After talking to him, I suddenly felt that time was running out, and I always had a premonition that I was going to suffer something. But no matter what protection Yu Qingyan suffers, it is the first priority. As the picture and text said, the Grim Reaper is likely to suspect me, and once this happens, Yu Qingyan's situation will also become dangerous, and I must protect her at all times, so as not to attack her.
The telephone, at the moment, is considered by me to be the greatest invention of mankind, because it is more convenient than the teleportation of demons. You don't need to unleash any demonic powers, just press a few keys to find exactly who you're looking for, hear what you want to hear, and get peace of mind.
In less than half an hour, my phone rang for the fourth time, this time from Yu Qingyan. I haven't contacted her since I sent her home last night, and she hasn't contacted me again in the past ten hours. At this moment, this sudden call made me understand her cold personality differently.
"A few times you've called, and your phone is busy." Without calling my name or greeting me politely, Yu Qingyan complained directly to me.
"Well, I was just answering the phone." I replied as I drove, in fact, I had already decided to go to her after hanging up the phone call, and she called first.
"Busy?" Yu Qingyan asked a little lost.
"Nope." In order to fill her loss, I immediately replied firmly.
"Xia Zhong conspired to ask us to have dinner together in the evening, for yesterday's incident." She used us instead of me and you, which made me feel a little more emotional, and she finally agreed with my sustenance.
"Well, I know. He just called me. β
"Do you have time to go?" Yu Qingyan opened her mouth to ask my opinion, and I couldn't help but wonder if my opinion was important to her?
"What, you don't want to go?" If you have a guess, why don't you give it a try, I didn't answer her directly, but asked rhetorically.
"I've already promised Xia Zhongmou."
"Oh! So? "I deliberately pretended to be stupid, she called for this matter, so I knew it.
"I want you to go along." Yu Qingyan was silent for a few seconds before he spoke.
"No problem, I'll pick you up now." I said yes. You must know that she likes to express it euphemistically, and it is really not easy for her to say this sentence in person. If I don't know how to advance or retreat, I'll accept it when I see it, I'm afraid that I'll annoy her with a thin face again.
"Xia Zhong's appointment was seven o'clock in the evening, and it's only three o'clock now." Yu Qingyan's implication is that it is too early, but I don't think so, so I should dress her up carefully as soon as possible.
"I know, but I want to see you right now." I said softly on the other end of the phone, and Yu Qingyan on the other end was silent for a while.
"You're the man." In the past, she would have hung up on me, but today she said that I am a person.
"What's wrong with me? I'm also planted in your hands. β
"No one forced you, I'll hang up if it's okay." Yu Qingyan's words didn't sound like real blame. I don't know if I'm too sensitive, but I always feel that the conversation with her today has changed a little bit compared to before. She was no longer so resistant to me, no longer so distant, and even a little bit more dependent on me.
"I'll drive over and pick you up now." Naturally, I made the next request.
"Hmm." She hesitated to agree.
"Mr. Yu, I think you're cute." I wanted to hear more about her, so I didn't end the conversation right away, but continued. Her personality is sometimes passive and cute, and things must be proposed by the other party before agreeing. And I happen to be willing to be her leader, but only in certain aspects, of course. Because in my relationship with her, in the final analysis, she is more sovereign.
"It's not in shape, I'm hanging up." Probably embarrassed, Yu Qingyan said for the second time that she wanted to hang up the phone, but in fact, she didn't hang up as decisively as before. It made me think she was deliberately giving me a chance to talk.
"Don't hang up yet, I'll ask one last question." I hurriedly stopped her, lest she hang up without warning.
"If it's not a good word, don't ask." Her soft words are in her ears, and it sounds heartwarming.
"It's a good word, it's a good word."
"Ask."
"What, did you miss me today?" I feel a little embarrassed when I ask it, but the people who want to know the answer are far more than my own face.
"Thought." A second passed, five seconds passed, ten seconds passed, and when I was almost about to give up the answer, Yu Qingyan answered me.
"Think? It's true? How many times have you thought about it? My voice trembled with excitement, and the two clear words that fell into my ears were more uplifting than any other word, even more than all the sweet words in the world.
"You say it yourself, just ask one question." I'm already a little fluttery, Yu Qingyan is still calm and calm, she always knows how to grasp the opportunity to put it away freely, which I can't compare to her.
"Well, this question is very important to me, if you don't tell me, I won't be able to concentrate on driving, and you know that when driving......" She has reason and I have urgency, and I just got a tie when I went and came.
"I've thought about it once or twice, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, 100,000 satisfied!" I was overjoyed by her answer, is this her way of loving someone? It has surprised me so many times to make so many concessions today.
"Silly, concentrate on driving and pay attention to safety!" Yu Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle and instructed me.
"Yes, my Queen!"
