“I will remember your kindness. Thank you, Qiqing,” he said.
Qiqing was staring blankly, dumbfounded.
“You…”
He called my name?
He called my name!
If she was not sitting in the car, Han Qiqing would have jumped for joy.
No, no. I’m a girl. I gotta act ladylike. Even if I’m happy, I can’t behave wildly.
Though she had calmed her inner excitement, she could not help as the corner of her mouth went up uncontrollably.
If Lu Yichen wasn’t in front of her, she would have clasped her mouth and chuckled secretly.
Wonderful!
She felt that they were now closer than before. In the past, even when he stood right before her, it felt like he was so far away that she couldn’t even reach him.
…
After taking Lu Yichen to see the Chinese doctor, Han Qiqing also sent him back home and discussed what kind of excuse she should say to Auntie Lu when she visited her the following day.
Lu Yichen also warned her not to tell his mother that Xiaoxiao had gone back to the States and to make up a random excuse that Xiaoxiao had gone to visit her relatives or that Xiaoxiao was too busy with her school work to come visit.
Han Qiqing nodded her head in agreement, looking like an exemplary student in a cla.s.s carefully taking note of everything he said.
He said to her, “Good night then. You should head back. Goodbye.”
With all smiles, Han Qiqing said, “Good night, you should head back too.”
Lu Yichen nodded his head slightly at her, and he turned into the building.
As he disappeared from her sight, Han Qiqing then finally looked away reluctantly. However, she was in a very good mood as she almost skipped her way back to the car.
The chauffeur asked, “Miss, are you we back home now?”
“Yeah, let’s go back home!”
With that said, Han Qiqing pulled out her phone, and she thought for a while before giving Mu Xiaoxiao a call. However, it indicated that her phone was off.
“Her phone is switched off? Is Xiaoxiao really on a plane back to the States?” Han Qiqing was startled as she thought about the possibility.
As to the matter of Lu Yichen fighting Yin Shaojie, she did not even speak a word about it when he was with Lu Yichen earlier, nor did she dare to ask if he had seen Xiaoxiao earlier.
She thought that there were some things that were better for her not to know.
She liked Lu Yichen, and she wanted to get close to him and treat him well. She wanted to feel satisfied just thinking about these things.
She had always felt that Lu Yichen might have feelings for Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, why would he get into a fight with Yin Shaojie over Xiaoxiao? However, it was very clear that Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie had special feelings for each other, and Xiaoxiao had also said that Lu Yichen was just a friend to her.
Han Qiqing had believed in Xiaoxiao. So what if Lu Yichen really liked Xiaoxiao? It was impossible for them to be together, and that gave her hope.
As long as there was hope, she wanted to hold on to it…
… because she did not want to miss the opportunity to be with the person she liked.
Since Mu Xiaoxiao’s phone could not be reached and Han Qiqing did not dare to call Yin Shaojie, she could only call Song s.h.i.+jun.
“h.e.l.lo.” Song s.h.i.+jun sounded anxious as he answered the phone, and it was as if he was busy with something.
Han Qiqing quickly asked, “How is it? Is Xiaoxiao back at her condo? Have we found her?”
Song s.h.i.+jun exclaimed, “No! Xiaoxiao wasn’t at the condo. We have no idea where she went. Shaojie called my father for help. From the looks of things, he seems intent on searching in every corner of City A.”
So Song s.h.i.+jun was currently also busy finding ways to locate Mu Xiaoxiao.
