Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Because Youâre the Only One Who Has Ever Called This Number
Otherwise, being out of touch with society makes one a fool.
His mind was empty, and how to deal with Qin Yize and the Gu Family, he left it to Lin Fanpeng to figure out. He couldnât be bothered to rack his brain. Whatever was needed from him, he would naturally provide.
The room was as quiet as ever.
The White Cat lay on the other corner of the sofa, half-squinting its eyes, lost in its own thoughts.
And at that moment, the phone on the table beside the sofa suddenly rang.
In this quiet night, the sudden ringing startled Xiao Bai, causing it to tumble off the sofa.
Dongfang Yu slightly turned his head, looking at the phone that had also made his heart jolt.
This thing ringing in the middle of the night was indeed a bit eerie.
Dongfang Yuâs eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Since he moved in, this phone had only rung twiceâŠ
Because even though he had everything one should have in this world, he wasnât accustomed to using them.
Like the telephone, for example.
So far, he had only received one call, which was from Shang Qing.
Lin Fanpeng knew he didnât like answering the phone, so he never dared to call. When there was something, he always visited in person.
So, this call wasnât from Lin Fanpeng.
Then who could it be?
Could it be Shang Qing?
Thinking of this possibility, Dongfang Yu furrowed his eyebrows and inevitably thought about tonightâs events: Gu Qiaoqiao and Shang Qing knew each other.
His intentions were basically exposed in front of Gu Qiaoqiao.
Therefore, it seemed there would never be peace between him and Gu Qiaoqiao, or even the Gu Family.
Unless he avoided them altogether, never to return.
Dongfang Yuâs lips curled up, his phoenix eyes flashed with a touch of coldness, then he answered the phone.
On the other end, Shang Qing had initially planned to give up, but unexpectedly, it was picked up in the last second. Then the low, pleasant voice of a man came through the receiver, âIs this Xiao Qing?â
The elders of the Shang Family all called Shang Qing by Xiao Qing. At this moment, such a voice coming through the phone made Shang Qingâs heart skip several beats.
After a brief pause, she hurriedly nodded and said, âItâs me, Iâm Shang Qing.â
âWhatâs up?â His voice was very calm.
Shang Qing thought for a moment and asked, âWhy did you ask if itâs Xiao Qing right away?â
âBecause youâre the only one whoâs ever called this number.â
âDoesnât anyone call you?â
âNo,â Dongfang Yu explained with a faint smile, âthis number was only given to you.â
Shang Qing was stunned.
Did Dongfang Yu mean that sheâs the only one who knows this number?
For a moment, Shang Qing didnât know how to answer. In the dim study, her heart was pounding as if it would leap out of her chest.
Her face was also a bit warm.
Dongfang Yuâs eyebrows moved slightly, and he asked, âCalling so late, is there something you need?â
Only then did Shang Qing come to her senses, and she quickly said, âIt was indeed quite late, I shouldnât have called you. But not calling made me feel uneasyâŠâ
âWhatâs there to feel uneasy about?â Dongfang Yuâs voice was tinged with surprise.
âItâs about tonightâs events. If it werenât for me inviting youâŠâ
Shang Qing didnât finish her sentence.
Being driven out was indeed quite embarrassing for her.
She didnât want to recount it again, for fear of hurting Dongfang Yuâs pride.
Dongfang Yu slowly curled his lips and said calmly, âItâs alright, if I had known Gu Qiaoqiao was there, I wouldnât have gone, and naturally wouldnât have put you in a difficult position. Sorry, I didnât know beforehandâŠâ
