Chapter 572: Chapter 356: I Can Still Make a Comeback_3
"Hello?"
Wu Wenyue perked up and gave Xu Manning a knowing look. The latter understood and leaned half a meter away from the phone, letting out a soft moan: "Ah, hmm~"
The volume was just right, so Wu Wenyue gave a thumbs-up and then, with a slight panting tone, said, "Where are you?"
Zhao Qingge was silent for two seconds before slowly asking, "What are you guys doing?"
"Nothing..." After Wu Wenyue finished speaking, she quickly moved the phone closer to Xu Manning’s mouth. Miss Xu knowingly let out another soft moan: "Hmm~ we’re not doing anything."
Wu Wenyue stifled her laughter, took back the phone, and cleared her throat. "Are you coming to our house? Peifeng... uh, he left. If you’re on your way, just turn back... ah, don’t come. Even if you do, you won’t see him."
While speaking, Xu Manning continued her low moans until Wu Wenyue gave her a nudge, signaling with her eyes ’don’t overdo it,’ then she stopped.
Zhao Qingge’s voice was firm as she asked again, "Is Li Peifeng not at the apartment?"
Wu Wenyue pretended to hesitate: "He is... no, he’s not, Xiaofeng just left."
"He’s not here, he left a while ago!"
Xu Manning added this on purpose, deliberately contradicting Wu Wenyue to plant doubt, making Zhao Qingge even more paranoid and eager to drive over quickly. Otherwise, with time passing, the residual effect of their act might wear off, and the impact wouldn’t be as desirable...
"Got it... beep~ beep~ beep~"
Zhao Qingge said briefly, then hung up the phone, lifting her gaze to see Li Peifeng just walking out of the elevator without a word.
While Wu Wenyue was on the call, Zhao Qingge had already reached downstairs, about to take the elevator. As the phone rang, Li Peifeng emerged from the descending elevator.
Thus, the teacher and student bumped right into each other under the sound of the ringing phone. Li Peifeng’s timing was impeccably precise!
"I told you, they were just putting on a show."
Li Peifeng remained calm: "Now you see, they’ve been exposed, still pretending on the phone."
Both Wu and Xu thought their plan was flawless, but there’s no such thing as a flawless plan. Especially since their intentions were transparent to Li Peifeng. With a little thought, he easily found a way to counteract it.
Leaving wasn’t an option, nor was staying, so why not just stop Old Zhao from going upstairs to see them?
"Go to your place or mine? I called and texted you since I got back to Beijing, and you never replied. Now you... you came to pick me up, let’s have a proper talk?"
Zhao Qingge ignored this, her expression stern, saying directly: "I told you to go home immediately half an hour ago, why are you just leaving now?"
Li Peifeng blinked and pouted: "You’re still my girlfriend, but you don’t want to marry me... you’re not my wife, why should I listen to you?"
"..."
Zhao Qingge’s face darkened and just as she was about to say something, Li Peifeng laughed and interrupted: "How about this, if you agree to marry me, whatever time you want me home, I’ll be there on the dot, not a second late."
"..."
"Even if we get divorced, I’ll still listen to you... alright?"
It seemed sincere and romantic, but Zhao Qingge completely ignored it. Her face flushed, eyes filled with anger, and she snapped: "Listen to you? Have you ever listened to a single word I’ve said? I told you to break up with them, did you? Not before, and it won’t happen after marriage? Who are you fooling? You think I’ll believe your lies again, I can’t even stand looking at your face!!"
"It represents lies, deceit, filth, shamelessness, despicableness, malice, treachery, depravity, hypocrisy... every vile quality of humanity is displayed on you. Having a student like you is my disgrace, do you understand disgrace?!!"
Getting scolded, getting scolded.
Li Peifeng pursed his lips, put on a look of a student truly being criticized by his teacher, lowered his head submissively, and said: "Anyway... I think I can still be salvaged, you’re still my mentor, please tolerate... correct, educate me, maybe I’ll change in the future?"
"You can’t change!"
Zhao Qingge’s voice grew louder, then she spoke sharply: "In a few days, I’ll call your parents over, we will have a talk, prepare yourself."
Parents? I still have parents?
Li Peifeng sighed helplessly: "They don’t care about me anymore, they’re having a second child, please don’t call them."
"Second child?"
Zhao Qingge frowned slightly, thinking... are you abandoned?
