Chapter 1981: Chapter 84: Sounding Out in East and West
Him or my brother?
Thinking about how my brother doesn’t know about her resignation yet, it must be him.
Should I call him to say thanks?
With these thoughts, Yan Xiaoxi flipped open her contacts and quickly found Jin Bo.
How should I say it if I call?
If I say thanks, that old man will definitely push his luck.
Her finger hovered over his number for a long time but she didn’t dial it.
She also felt embarrassed to call her brother.
Lost in thought, her phone rang.
Seeing it was Lu Yi, she didn’t pick up and hung up the call.
Then, she received a text message.
"Xiaoxi, I know you don’t like her..."
After reading the first sentence, she knew what the rest would say.
She didn’t read the message and deleted it right away.
Lu Yi waited for a long time without receiving a reply, "Xiaoxi, can we just let this go? I know it was wrong of her to break into your apartment, but she was upset and couldn’t find me for days."
Yan Xiaoxi, feeling suddenly angry, called and interrupted Lu Yi the moment she heard his voice, "She couldn’t find you and was upset, what’s that got to do with me?"
Lu Yi, "Xiaoxi, she knows the one I truly love has always been you."
Yan Xiaoxi chuckled, "That’s your business. It has nothing to do with me."
Lu Yi had never heard her speak to him like that, "Xiaoxi, you’ve changed."
Yan Xiaoxi, "Everyone changes."
It took Lu Yi a while to speak again, "It was wrong of her to push you to resign. I’ve already talked to the company. You can continue working as usual."
Yan Xiaoxi, "Thanks a lot."
Suddenly she felt there was nothing left to say between them, a sense of unfamiliarity creeping in.
Lu Yi, "Xiaoxi, I want to get back together with you."
Yan Xiaoxi smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I have a cleanliness habit."
Lu Yi, "Xiaoxi."
Yan Xiaoxi thought about the usual demands men have on women and asked gently, "Honey, are you still a virgin?"
Lu Yi, "Xiaoxi, for a man of this age to still be a virgin is a disgrace, or he has nothing to attract women, or he’s down and out..."
Yan Xiaoxi was about to interrupt Lu Yi when she suddenly sensed a shadow behind her. Turning around, she saw Jin Bo, and she froze in place.
At this moment, why would he be in Winter City?
Jin Bo stood behind her, having heard Lu Yi’s words clearly, frowned dissatisfiedly, and looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Give me the phone, I have a few words to say to movie star Lu."
Yan Xiaoxi paused for a few seconds before handing the phone to Jin Bo.
Jin Bo picked up the phone and sat on Yan Xiaoxi’s bed, "So, do you think a thirty-four-year-old man being a virgin is a disgrace, or that he has nothing to attract women, or he’s impoverished?"
Lu Yi heard Jin Bo’s voice, "You’re a man too, isn’t that right?"
Jin Bo, "Sorry, I’m thirty-four and still a virgin."
Lu Yi heard the unfamiliar male voice and chuckled, "Are you pursuing Xiaoxi?"
Jin Bo glanced at Lu Yi, "It’s not pursuit, it’s mutual attraction."
Lu Yi found the words "mutual attraction" particularly grating to the ear, "Well, sorry, I have to tell you, you have a formidable rival, her childhood sweetheart of twenty years and ex-boyfriend."
Jin Bo looked at Yan Xiaoxi, his eyes darkening upon hearing childhood sweetheart of twenty years, reached out and squeezed her hand, pulling her forcefully, his large hand circling her waist, holding her in the crook of his arm, "A formidable rival, like?"
