Chapter 721: Chapter 249: Sexy Tutor’s Late Night Rendezvous?_3
The familiar name on her phone had been buzzing in her ears incessantly for the past few days; she was already all too familiar with it.
Liang Jingjing snatched the phone right out of Qi Siyu’s hand. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she teased, "Siyu, are you still hung up on that womanizing scumbag?"
Her best friend had seen right through her. Qi Siyu’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson. She tried to snatch the phone back, but Liang Jingjing easily dodged her.
"Hehe, Siyu, you still haven’t answered me." Seeing Qi Siyu’s expression, Liang Jingjing knew she had guessed right.
My best friend might look incredibly sexy and mature on the outside, like an experienced woman of the world. But in reality, that’s just a facade. She’s completely different on the inside.
"Oh, I’ve got it! It’s your birthday today. Don’t tell me you’re thinking of inviting that scumbag to spend it with you?"
Looking thoroughly flustered, Qi Siyu huffed, "Of course not! Jingjing, give me my phone back."
Liang Jingjing scoffed. "Please, Siyu. We’ve known each other for so long. As if I don’t know what you’re thinking."
She knew this two-faced best friend of hers all too well. She could already sing the few lines of lyrics Li Yuan had written for Siyu by heart.
Watching Qi Siyu’s bashful expression, a sly look flashed through Liang Jingjing’s eyes. She stared at Li Yuan’s phone number and let out a wicked laugh.
"Hehe, I’ll call him for you."
As she said that, right before Qi Siyu’s horrified eyes, Liang Jingjing pressed the call button.
Startled by her friend’s action, Qi Siyu cried out, "Jingjing, what are you doing?! Quick, hang up!"
Seeing the call was already going through, Liang Jingjing hit the speakerphone button. Just as the call connected, she shot Qi Siyu a mischievous grin.
"Too late. He picked up."
The words were barely out of her mouth when Li Yuan’s somewhat weary voice came through the speaker.
"Hello, Mrs. Qi?"
Hearing Li Yuan’s familiar voice, Qi Siyu panicked. The blush instantly spread from her cheeks to the tips of her ears, then down her snow-white neck.
Before she could answer, Liang Jingjing spoke up.
"Li Yuan, your dear Mrs. Qi is celebrating her birthday today and wants to invite you to join!"
On the other end of the line, Li Yuan was taken aback. The voice sounded familiar; he was sure he’d heard it twice before.
Mrs. Qi is celebrating her birthday, and she’s inviting me?
Still surprised, Li Yuan asked, "Uh, miss, where is Mrs. Qi?"
"She’s right here beside me! Siyu, your little lover boy is asking for you." Liang Jingjing was incredibly bold. Holding nothing back, she shoved the phone into Qi Siyu’s hands.
With trembling hands, Qi Siyu took her phone. Her cheeks flushed red as she glanced at the call display. "L-Li Yuan," she stammered, "don’t listen to Jingjing’s nonsense. It’s not my birthday today."
Li Yuan could hear the tremble in Qi Siyu’s voice. Just as he was about to respond, the other woman’s voice cut in again. "Li Yuan, Siyu is just being coy. It really is her birthday today, and she wants to see you. You’d better hurry over, or your beautiful teacher might just end up in someone else’s arms!"
Hearing Liang Jingjing’s brazen words, Li Yuan was momentarily stunned. Even with his extensive experience, he was taken aback.
I’m just a freshman, and you two are university instructors. Do teachers really talk this boldly?
"Li Yuan, don’t listen to her nonsense! It’s not what you think," Qi Siyu explained, her voice thick with embarrassment.
I should hang up right now. But for some reason, an inexplicable feeling is stopping me from ending the call.
Listening to Qi Siyu’s explanation, Li Yuan felt a strange stirring in his heart. When it came to this stunningly sexy guidance counselor, it would be self-deception to say he hadn’t had any thoughts about her, especially after that unusual ’close encounter’ in her office. Any physically healthy, womanizing scumbag would find it hard to resist such a unique temptation. The combination of her status and appearance made her, in some ways, even more alluring than a pure, pretty young girl. It was just like those veteran Casanovas with a collector’s instinct; they want to sample every type of beautiful woman. And Li Yuan was no exception.
An idea sparked in his mind. Li Yuan chuckled and said, "Oh, so it’s Mrs. Qi’s birthday today? Well, as a good student, I’m obligated to offer my congratulations."
"Mrs. Qi, where are you celebrating your birthday tonight? I’ll come over in a bit."
Hearing that Li Yuan was actually coming, Qi Siyu grew even more frantic. But before she could get a word out, Liang Jingjing, the perfect wingwoman, beat her to it.
"Li Yuan, your Mrs. Qi is still at school waiting for you. Hurry up and get over here to pick her up."
Qi Siyu shot Liang Jingjing a look, then explained in a fluster, "Li Yuan, you don’t need to come. We’re not at the school."
After saying this, Qi Siyu mustered up her courage and, with great reluctance, hung up the phone.
The moment she hung up, however, Qi Siyu was struck by a sudden feeling of loss and emptiness.
She glared at Liang Jingjing and whined coquettishly, "Jingjing, this is all your fault! You and your big mouth! I could just die of embarrassment."
Liang Jingjing was completely unfazed. "Come on, Siyu, I’m a pretty good best friend, right?" she teased. "I acted as your wingwoman and helped fulfill your wish. You should be thanking me properly."
Qi Siyu glared at her. "Hmph! Thank you for what? For making a complete fool out of me?"
Liang Jingjing hugged Qi Siyu’s arm, purposefully snuggling against her two ample ’sisters,’ Xiongda and Xionger.
She giggled and teased, "Siyu, how about we make a bet?"
Qi Siyu huffed. "No betting. I always lose."
Liang Jingjing seemed to have anticipated this reaction. She giggled, "Let’s bet on whether Li Yuan will come pick you up or not. I bet he will. Do you dare to take me on, just this once?"
