Gu Yuan raised her eyebrows, her voice sowhat sharp: "Are you teaching how to do things?"
"No, no, I think everything is fine here, I can’t find any faults." Qi Mingfei quickly swallowed back his earlier sarcastic remarks.
Since the earpiece went silent, Qi Mingfei had completely let himself go, saying whatever he wanted without any restraint, still feeling he played his role well.
Gu Yuan had been playing along without exposing him, just for this mont: "Since you’re satisfied in all aspects, could I possibly have a word with Young Master Quan?"
As soon as she said this—
Qi Mingfei: "!!!"
Chi Yu suddenly sat up straight: "Yuanyuan..."
Gu Yuan turned her head to look at Chi Yu, and that look made Chi Yu especially guilty. He panicked imdiately: "Yuanyuan, why are you looking at ..."
He used to eagerly want Yuanyuan to look at him.
Now he’s afraid for Yuanyuan to look at him.
"...Can you shut up?"
"I can."
Chi Yu mimicked a zipper gesture across his mouth, indicating his silence.
"Miss Gu, is there so misunderstanding? Aren’t I right in front of you? Why are you saying you want to talk to , haha..." Qi Mingfei not only panicked inside, but his face showed it too.
Panic-stricken.
He was actually seen through by Miss Gu!
It can’t be! It can’t be!
I can’t admit it; what if the client doesn’t pay !? Oh my god! Where are you, client, say sothing! What should I do next? If you don’t say sothing, I’m going to admit it!
Chi Yu beside him pressed his lips together, pressing again and again until they were a tight line, glancing at the fool out of the corner of his eye.
He raised his hand to his lips and coughed loudly: "Cough—"
The cough was loud, and Gu Yuan pointed to the door: "Go cough outside."
"Okay."
Chi Yu got up, walking reluctantly towards the door, coughing as he went: "Cough cough cough... cough cough cough... cough cough cough cough..."
The coughs sounded as though he might cough up a lung at any mont.
Just listening to it was heartbreaking.
It wasn’t until Chi Yu coughed all the way to the door and left that Qi Mingfei dared to say to Gu Yuan: "Miss Gu, your ex-boyfriend doesn’t seem to be in good health."
"I don’t know." Gu Yuan said calmly.
"You don’t know?" Qi Mingfei was surprised.
Gu Yuan glanced at him: "Am I supposed to know?"
"No, no, you’re not supposed to!" Qi Mingfei chuckled awkwardly, "But since he’s an ex-boyfriend, lighting an incense if he passes isn’t impossible."
Gu Yuan: "He is alive, while you look almost dead."
Qi Mingfei: "..."
"What does Young Master Quan an by this? If Young Master Quan’s attitude is just this, I see no reason to accept Quan Family’s goodwill. Best to leave it at that." Gu Yuan stood up.
"Good! I think that’s great!" Qi Mingfei also stood up.
Thinking to himself, finally, he could leave.
This client is unreliable, better find another one.
Just as his heart leaped with joy, and he moved to step away, a voice, altered, ca through the earpiece which had been silent: "I’ll call your phone imdiately, give her the phone, I’ll talk to her."
The mute client spoke!!
Qi Mingfei pulled back the step he’d taken.
Soon after, the phone screen lit up.
A call ca in, with the word ’Client’ on it. Qi Mingfei’s hand trembled a bit, and with that tremble, the phone fell towards the ground and he frantically tried to catch it: "Hey hey hey my phone—"
Unexpectedly, the phone didn’t hit the ground.
