Hearing Feng Yi Lan saying all that on the call, Qi Shuai's senses were all stunned. He has long forgotten the call he was on and also the person on the call. The only thing that his senses were the words that the woman was saying on her own. "Yi Lan that …"
"What? Heartbroken? Are you fearing that after this call your 'BaoBao' will take another flight and return back, without giving you any chance to explain? Regretting my presence here now?" Feng Yi Lan flared up the moment she heard the man again beginning his words.
Moments ago, he was about to plead with her to let another woman stay beside him. How audacious he was! Who actually bestowed him the courage to think something like that?
Qi Shuai heard her and for the first time in the entire time, his lips curled up to give a smile at the situation. His beauty features, getting enhanced with his smile making the woman paused for a minute to look at him while blinking her eyes.
"LanLan, in your anxiousness to lose me in the hands of some other woman, did you forget to keep notice of your restrained words. Are you so jealous of BaoBao" He said, suddenly snapping the woman out from her short trance. "Don't break my heart now, saying that you haven't noticed them, darling".
Feng Yi Lan's expression at once changed. To be honest, she has really not taken any notice of her words earlier, less say remember them now. At that second she was too much on her emotions, so said whatever she felt like saying.
"Who is your darling here? Director Qi, look out your words" She warned. Her face got slightly flushed at the endearment.
But without giving any importance to her warning, the man casually shrugged. "Aren't you my darling here? You just said it yourself on the call that you are my girlfriend who has stayed back in the hospital to take care of me. Where are my words wrong, darling, that you are asking me to look after? Huh?" He asked, his voice coming all soft and relaxed, nothing anxious as before.
The table seemed turned just after a simple plain call.
Feng Yi Lan felt at loss. Did she say something like that? Definitely, that can't be possible. Her tongue would never betray her.
"That's absurd! I could never say something like that. You better don't trick me". She anxiously exasperated, not accepting the severe accusation the man was forcing at her.
Seeing her rejection, suddenly the smile on the man's features disappeared, bringing back the seriousness in the air. That drastic change even made Feng Yi Lan take a step back in her thoughts.
She wouldn't have touched his bottom line, right? She thought before disagreeing with her conclusion herself. Nope, that wasn't simply possible. Whenever with her, the man has got the best of his patience. There could be no way she would have touched that line yet.
But if not that then what else? She stared at the man, holding her firm expression still in her control.
"LanLan, did you really think I would ever trick you into something wrong?" After a moment, Qi Shuai asked. His expression was severe to the point which forced the woman to come out honest to him.
Feng Yi Lan shook her head. "I … I didn't mean that. I was just saying that I can't say something that unscrupulous."
The man stared at her before nodding. "If that's so, I still have a way to make you accept".
The woman's brows tugged together in confusion to which Qi Shuai continued, "Since you don't believe, I can make a witness to come and vouch that".
"Witness?"
"Mhm. Give me my phone. I will call BaoBao"
BaoBao again! Some men could simply not change.
At the re-mention of the same endearment, Feng Yi Lan could not help but return again to the same fury she was holding before. Scoffing at his so-called solution, she sniggered, "Heh! Aren't you quite a thing, Director Qi? You want her to become your ultimate witness. What made you think that I will accept that?"
"Because you said all that to her on the call. If not her, who else do you think would confirm my words?"
Feng Yi Lan's expressions turned ugly. "You … Do you think that after what I said, she will still come to vouch for your words, Director Qi? I think after hearing me lash out at her like that she must already be on her way to the airport. You can only dream of her now"
Qi Shuai shook his head, before extending his hands out to her. "Give me the phone. Let me try".
Seeing him so rooted in his thoughts, Feng Yi Lan could only grit her teeth and bite her lower lips. Her fingers tightened over his phone with an intention to shatter it the next moment. "Aren't you getting too confident in her? What made you believe her so much? Do you really believe that she will come here if you give her a call?" She asked while unwillingly returning the phone in his hands. Her heart clenched, seeing the man moving his slender fingers to dial the last received call.
Qi Shuai shook his head in disapproval. His eyes, getting a little denser than before while lifting up to look at the changing emotion of the woman in her eyes. "Nope, I don't think she will come. But he will definitely come".
Feng Yi Lan was confused, not quite understanding his words. "He? …" She was about to ask what he meant by that but before she could she heard the voice from the call coming in response.
"Hello, Shuai! I never knew that you have gotten a girl to take care of you now. Sigh, if I had known this, I would have not made this urgent trip suddenly. You are a lucky guy".
At that voice, Feng Yi Lan was all flabbergasted. Her eyes widening in astonishment and then closing in embarrassment.
So all this time, BaoBao wasn't a woman but actually a man! How the hell did she mistake something like this? Could she now even get a hole to hide in?
