Cheng Su listened to what Qi Xiaoqi said and felt uneasy. She got up, put on a cotton robe, and walked to the living room to make a phone call.
The clock on the wall showed it was already eleven o’clock. She wondered if Qi Taiguo was in the office?
She dialed the number, and the phone kept ringing. Cheng Su felt a bit disappointed; it seemed he wasn’t in the office.
Just as she sighed and was about to hang up, someone answered on the other end, and Qi Taiguo’s voice came through.
"Eh, it took so long to answer the phone; I thought you weren’t there!" Cheng Su said, surprised and delighted.
Qi Taiguo said, "I was just about to head back to the dormitory and had only walked ten meters when I heard the office phone ringing. If you’d hung up a bit earlier, I wouldn’t have caught it."
He reopened the desk lamp, sat down, glanced at the time on his wrist, and asked, "Why are you still up so late? I heard you went to the Capital these past couple of days?"
"Yeah, did you call back?" Cheng Su asked, then said, "I just came back today. Xiao Qi just went to sleep, and I couldn’t sleep, so I tried calling you, wanting to talk."
"Oh? You miss me that much!" Qi Taiguo laughed warmly and said, "No wonder I’ve been sneezing all day today!"
Cheng Su pouted, "Annoying! Not serious!"
Qi Taiguo chuckled for a while before asking, "Was everything smooth in the Capital? Was there a meeting or something?"
"It was a shareholder meeting." Cheng Su mentioned the reason she went to the Capital, and then said, "I ran into Chiang Qing there!"
Qi Taiguo’s smile disappeared and his expression immediately turned cold and serious as he asked, "She didn’t do anything to you, did she?"
"No, I was with Ning Ge and the others at the time!" Cheng Su said, "But, she said something, which means she’s investigated our lives."
Uh, she was indeed the one most aware of future events; she knew more about past life happenings than anyone!
However, in her life, it seemed like she had no intersection with Qi Taiguo in the past life.
"That... ahaha." Cheng Su laughed awkwardly.
Qi Taiguo asked, "What did Ning Ge say? About Chiang Qing."
"He didn’t say much, just that he’d handle it and told us not to worry." Cheng Su said, "I’ve thought it over. I can’t just live my life in a panic because of something she says, right? I’ll just live the way I should. At worst, I won’t go to sparsely populated places."
Qi Taiguo listened and felt a pang of heartache. She said she wouldn’t panic, but having such a thought meant she was affected psychologically. Otherwise, how could she be so on edge?
