Tang Yanqi really wanted to retort against a certain shaless guy, but she swallowed her words again. After all, Sheng Jianan was standing up for her, and not accepting his "goodwill" was one thing, but to retort would be too disrespectful to Young Master Sheng.
Plus, Qi Cheng had already co over to urge her to head back to the dorm together, so Tang Yanqi didn’t waste words and directly asked, "What do you want out of this?"
She directly gave him the initiative. Anyway, Tang Yanqi was as poor as a church mouse, and there was nothing worth Sheng Jianan scheming over.
On the other side, Sheng Jianan was silent for two seconds, then curved his lips into a cheeky smile, "Co have dinner with tonight."
If Sheng Jianan had said "Accompany to dinner," there might be so ambiguity in the air, but he deliberately said "Co with ," which made it seem ordinary. Tang Yanqi didn’t think much about it, "Hmm," and hung up the phone.
She pocketed her phone and started walking out. As soon as Qi Cheng saw her, he ran over imdiately, not giving Tang Yanqi any reaction ti before snatching the phone out of her pocket, "Hey... Tangtang, co clean, what’s going on here?"
Qi Cheng was well aware of how broke Tang Yanqi was. This phone was the latest model and cost an arm and a leg, certainly not sothing Tang Yanqi could afford.
Qi Cheng blinked mischievously while Tang Yanqi reached out to grab the phone back and rcilessly knocked it on Qi Cheng’s head, "My phone broke, so I got a new one, what’s the big surprise?"
"Hehe, Tangtang, was this given to you by your overbearing CEO?"
Since Sheng Jianan had helped them deal with Bai Bing’s matter last ti, Qi imdiately rephrased "jerk" to "overbearing CEO."
Tang Yanqi looked at him, smilingly patting his face, "I bought it myself, do you believe it?"
"No way!"
"Then why ask?"
"Hehe..."
Qi Cheng’s mischievous grin beca more pronounced. Tang Yanqi, a bit speechless, handed the phone back to Qi Cheng, "Do you want it? Shall we swap?"
With one sentence, she successfully diverted Qi’s attention; his original gossipy intentions were forgotten, and he imdiately jumped, "Tangtang, are you serious?"
"Hmm."
"Tangtang, I love you..."
Qi Cheng had barely finished the sound of "love" when Tang Yanqi lightly slipped in a line, "Just make up the price difference for ."
Ti seed to freeze instantly; after two seconds, Qi Cheng glared angrily, "You’ve got guts!"
Bai Bing and Bai Xue, who were listening, laughed, and the four returned to the dorm amidst a gloomy atmosphere hanging over Qi’s head.
The two classes were over, and it was getting late for dinner. Tang Yanqi returned to the dorm to prepare so materials due tomorrow, checked the ti, and packed up her things to leave.
As soon as Tang Yanqi stepped out of the dormitory building, her phone rang. Seeing Sheng Jianan’s caller ID displayed, Tang Yanqi didn’t think much and answered, "Hello?"
From the other end ca the sound of rushing wind, the noise was loud, and Sheng Jianan didn’t speak. But Tang Yanqi suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, before this thought had disappeared, Sheng Jianan’s deep voice, carrying uncovered urgency, leaked out, "Hospital... Grandfather."
The wind noise was strong, and Tang Yanqi couldn’t hear what Sheng Jianan was saying clearly, only hearing these four key words. Her heart shot up to her throat, and without much thought, she dashed out.
Not caring about her deflated wallet, Tang Yanqi unhesitatingly hailed a cab to the hospital.
