Her phone rang a few times but no one picked up.
Gu Qiqi raised her eyebrows slightly and reminded her. "Xiao Ning, it's your phone."
"Oh, yes. Ahem, ahem, ahem… I understand." A trace of panic inexplicably flashed across Xiao Ning's face. She fumbled in her bag for her phone.
She saw the words "Little Uncle" on the caller ID.
Her legs and stomach went soft.
After taking a few steps back, she picked up the call with trembling hands.
The man's mocking voice carried a trace of coldness as it traveled from the receiver. "Little Lemon, I remember telling you before that if you don't answer after the phone rings thrice… What will the consequences be? Come, tell Uncle?"
Xiao Ning's small face scrunched up in frustration. She was afraid that Gu Qiqi behind her would hear this, but she was also afraid that the man over the phone would be unhappy.
She could only pinch her voice and whisper in a soft voice, "Yes… Yes, I said that I wouldn't answer after three rings. Then, I would ring an extra ring. Just… that time…"
"Which one?" The man laughed lightly and pretended not to understand.
"It's just that… Wuwuwu… I'm sorry, Little Uncle. I won't dare to not answer your call anymore. There were so many people just now that I didn't hear clearly…"
"Is that so? Yes, you have quite a lot of people around you. There's only one female classmate left. Do you want me to help you get rid of that female classmate who's in the way so that you can hear clearly?" Bai Yeyuan's tone suddenly became incomparably cold!
Even that trace of teasing disappeared.
"No, no, no, no…"
Xiao Ning couldn't wait to bite her tongue off.
Why did she seek death just now and find such an easy reason to expose her?
Wait a minute. How did he know that Gu Qiqi was the only female classmate by his side?
Could it be…
Xiao Ning's heart tightened. She couldn't help but look around uneasily. There was no sign of the man.
Bai Yeyuan was in charge of the Bai family's business empire. He was so busy. How could he have the time to supervise her? She must be thinking too much.
However…
In the very next second.
Bai Yeyuan said coldly, "The price of lying is much more serious than not answering the call. Little Lemon, have you forgotten?!"
"Wuwuwu, Little Uncle, I didn't forget! I'm sorry, I'm too nervous. I… I'll go home now, okay? You must not touch my friend!"
Left with no choice, she compromised first.
Indeed, when he heard her request to go home, the man curved his lips and his tone immediately becom playful. "Good girl. I'll dote on you when I return."
Xiao Ning didn't have the slightest joy of being doted on by an elder. She had a bitter expression on her face. Even when the call ended, the fear on her face hadn't disappeared.
Oh, she actually volunteered to return to Bai Yeyuan's wolf den…
Now that she thought about it, Bai Yeyuan had clearly baited her step by step just now to say those words!
She had fallen for it too easily!
But… would it be ok if she didn't return?
Since Bai Yeyuan knew that she was with Qiqi, what if she didn't return and he made a move on Qiqi?
She believed that a ruthless man like Bai Yeyuan would definitely do it.
Sigh, she couldn't implicate her Beauty Qi.
Her Beauty Qi was already unlucky enough today. Her profession that she was passionate about had been secretly changed. She had yet to end the engagement with a scumbag man and she also met a top roommate who was a moron.
She should return by herself. Anyway, this body… She had nothing to lose anymore…
"Qiqi, I…"
"You're going to see that man?" Gu Qiqi squinted slightly, as if she had long known everything.
"Oh! I didn't keep my word again. Wuwuwu, we agreed not to go home today. Tomorrow, I'll definitely stay with you in school tomorrow, okay?"
Gu Qiqi sighed lightly and hugged her. "Silly, is living with me in school the important thing? The important thing is that there's no future for you if you're with that man. Have you thought about it? Why didn't you break up earlier? Aren't you afraid of getting injured?"
