Yang Yingfang’s expression soured when she heard a female voice. Though she didn’t know who it was, it was undoubtedly Ren Yuanhao’s employer. The thought of him spending yesterday flirting with another woman filled her with annoyance, and she replied curtly, “He’s fine. He asked me to thank you for your concern.”
At that moment, Yang Lingxue, who was holding the phone and leaning against the window, also froze when she heard a woman’s voice on the other end. She glanced at the European-style wall clock. The hour hand had just stopped at six. Her heart suddenly tensed.
“Hello, who are you? Wh-why are you with him at this hour? Who are you! What are your intentions!”
—Damn, the fish in the pond are talking. One is a princess fish, the other is a young married fish. Isn’t this going to cause a huge mess?
When Ren Yuanhao heard Yang Lingxue’s mischievous voice, he felt a surge of despair. But then, he heard Zhang Yingfang beside him speak with a hint of provocation, “Little girl, you’re quite the jealous type.”
“Who’s jealous! How could I possibly be jealous! I-I’m just grateful. Since he’s fine, I’m hanging up!”
Yang Lingxue quickly hung up the phone, her heart feeling as though it had been clutched by something. Even the tip of her nose felt a little sore.
Immediately, she grabbed a large plush doll beside her and punched it fiercely in the face, wrinkling her cute little nose as she said, “You damn Ren Yuanhao! I’ll beat you to death!”
…
After the pain in Ren Yuanhao’s body had slightly subsided, he asked with a hint of a strained voice, “Sister Zhang, why did those two men in black want to capture you last night?”
“I don’t know,” Zhang Yingfang had lived a secluded life during her years of retirement and believed she had no enemies. Therefore, she was even more bewildered than Ren Yuanhao.
“Forget it. Don’t go back to your apartment complex for now. Hide out here for a while.”
“You’ll stay here with me too?” Zhang Yingfang’s heart fluttered with joy.
“What else can I do? I can’t just let them capture you again, can I?”
“Are you showing concern for me?”
This question left Ren Yuanhao unsure how to answer. If he said it was out of concern, that would be true. Who would want to see a slender, long-legged, and gentle lady fall into the hands of those villains?
However, Zhang Yingfang’s question clearly carried another implication.
He suddenly came to his senses, only to find himself meeting Zhang Yingfang’s watery, beautiful eyes. The atmosphere instantly became extremely delicate!
Zhang Yingfang leaned forward, her red lips inching closer and closer to Ren Yuanhao!
Ren Yuanhao felt as though his chest could hardly contain the tremor, about to explode at any moment!
The scent, tinged with the intoxicating allure of red wine, was already within arm’s reach. Ren Yuanhao was stunned like an idiot. But just then, his phone rang again.
“I-I’m going to take a call!”
Zhang Yingfang smiled enchantingly, her gesture of tossing her hair back showcasing her femininity to the fullest. After Ren Yuanhao answered the phone, he was clearly stunned for three to four seconds.
“Hello, hello, hello! You blockhead! Are you even listening to me!” Yang Lingxue on the other end of the line sounded like a furious little wildcat.
“What guidance does the young lady have for me today?”
“Fine, I’ll ask you, who is that woman with you?”
“Young lady, that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it? Our employer-employee relationship has ended. You can’t interfere…”
“I will interfere!”
Before Ren Yuanhao could finish speaking, Yang Lingxue blurted out these four words, sharp and decisive.
“I-I mean, I can still leave a bad review. Humph, of course, I can interfere!” Yang Lingxue seemed to realize her gaffe and, with her usual mischievousness, came up with a reason that wasn’t a reason at all.
“I’m sorry, ‘Didi Find Love’ does not have an option for follow-up reviews. If the young lady has suggestions in this regard, you can contact the head office directly. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be hanging up.”
Ren Yuanhao was actually somewhat grateful for this unexpected call. If the previous situation had been allowed to continue…
—Damn it, how could I have such pure thoughts? Has this single dog of ten lifetimes been single until now because of a ‘saint’ living in my heart!
When had Yang Lingxue ever been treated like this? As the esteemed eldest daughter of the Yang family, those who pursued her could probably form a queue from the Yang family mansion all the way to the golf course a kilometer away. Yet, this Ren Yuanhao, unappreciative of his luck, was actually trying to hang up!
“Hey! Ren Yuanhao, you’re bullying me!”
“Young lady, stop making a fuss. I need to rest, I~”
Before he could finish speaking, Ren Yuanhao suddenly fainted. Zhang Yingfang was terrified, crying out, “Yuanhao, Yuanhao, wake up!”
The call was not hung up. When Yang Lingxue heard the urgency in the voice of the woman beside Ren Yuanhao, she felt a premonition of trouble. On the phone, she called out Ren Yuanhao’s name with a trembling voice.
“Stop calling, okay? Yuanhao is seriously injured. He must have been agitated just now, causing his qi and blood to surge.”
Zhang Yingfang had intended to hang up the phone immediately, but she heard Yang Lingxue on the other end trembling with guilt and asking, “What happened to him? Is he in danger? Where are you?”
“You don’t need to worry about it. I will take good care of him.” Zhang Yingfang frowned, naturally unwilling to reveal their hiding place to anyone. She simply hung up the phone and then used a warm towel to help him ease his discomfort and relieve the pain.
After a good while, the sky had brightened. Ren Yuanhao vaguely heard a sound in his daze, as if in a dream. Suddenly, the voice intensified several times!
“New order has been issued. Please prepare to arrive at the designated location to accept the order. Do not miss the appointed time.”
