Chapter 1572: I’m Not Suspecting You
The screen showed the blank white background of the word doc.u.ment with a simple black font, looking plain and boring.
But s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s face appeared on this boring page out of nowhere.
She looked just how she did in her videos, all smiles.
Han Zhuoling shook his head furiously, and his screen appeared normal once more.
He inhaled deeply, then closed the screen.
Recalling something, he picked up his phone and opened his Weibo.
Notifications about his fans were typically plenty, since he would garner many new followers every day. But he never bothered about those.
He clicked on his own “Following” tab and saw s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s name heading the section.
Now, the sign beside her name showed that they were both following each other.
The corner of Han Zhuoling’s mouth lifted; he was feeling good.
Returning to his main page, he noticed that his last Weibo post was a repost of Survivor‘s first wave of publicity.
The comments beneath were from people surprised that Han Zhuoling would help Survivor publicize.
People in the know revealed that the Han Corporation had invested in Survivor.
These were the early comments.
The newest ones were left by those curious as to why he followed s.h.i.+ Xiaoya.
Why?
Han Zhuoling thought, because he wanted to. Why did there have to be so many reasons?
And then he saw a comment stating, “Young Master Ling, look at the ones you’re following. They’re all your brothers or friends from the eight great families, and they’re all excellent gentlemen. s.h.i.+ Xiaoya is the first lady you’ve followed.”
“The only rose among the gra.s.s!”
“The list is impressive. Only s.h.i.+ Xiaoya is a lady among all the guys. Especially eye-catching.”
Han Zhuoling didn’t realize that, and after looking at the netizens’ comments, he went to look at his “Following” list again.
He didn’t feel anything before this, but now, he felt that there was something ambiguous.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s name laid there quietly, especially strange.
Just then, his WeChat notification rang.
Switching over to WeChat, he saw the notification was from Han Zhuoli.
No matter what he said or didn’t say, his att.i.tude had more than answered Lin Liye’s question.
Hence, Han Zhuoli felt it was better to inform Han Zhuoling.
Otherwise, his brother would still be in the dark by the time Lin Liye and Old Mrs. Han had gone to see s.h.i.+ Xiaoya.
After seeing Han Zhuoli’s message, Han Zhuoling naturally knew why Lin Liye was so kind to him just now.
But he didn’t explain it to Lin Liye.
Thinking about it, he asked Han Zhuoli, “Do you have s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s number?”
Not long after, Han Zhuoli replied, “Apart from the ones in our family, I don’t have any other females’ contact number.”
Han Zhuoling: “…”
Why was he explaining this?!
Han Zhuoling: “Lu Man’s beside you, right?”
Han Zhuoli: “My answer is the same even if she’s not!”
Han Zhuoli then forced his phone into Lu Man’s hands. “You can check if you don’t believe me.”
“…” Lu Man was speechless. “I’m not even suspecting you. Why should I check?”
She then asked in surprise, “That aside, Big Brother has known s.h.i.+ Xiaoya for quite some time yet he doesn’t even have her contact number?”
Her words reminded Han Zhuoli of the fact, and he parroted her words at Han Zhuoling.
Han Zhuoling: “…”
“Why would I want a girl’s phone number? For what purpose?” Han Zhuoling said defiantly.
