How did she even get this unlucky!
First, she was forcefully married into the Hu Family.
Secondly, The Yan Group was in a crisis.
And then this...so unfortunate.
She could not fall into that situation because she eavesdropped to other's conversations and silently judged their characters and behaviours, could it?
Yan Xinyi suppressed her urge to scream and cry.
She could only blame herself for the carelessness as she looked at the phone in her hand.
Wait a minute! That was not her fault.
It was the man who accidentally took her phone at the restaurant when he was leaving not her who took his.
Right then, when she had realized that she had the wrong phone she had tried to chase after him but failed.
Furthermore, some minutes had passed since the man left the restaurant.
There were many people on the pavements and she was unaware of the path he had taken.
Yan Xinyi returned to the restaurant to borrow the restaurant's phone.
She had dialed her current phone number but nobody had picked up!
Yan Xinyi could only sigh to her misfortune when she had realized that she had earlier set the phone on silent mode when she had entered the restaurant in fear that her phone would ring too loud and annoyingly thus disturbing the others who were having their meals.
She wanted to leave her contact number to the restaurant just in case the man returns after realising that the phone he has is not his but his phone was in her hands so it was pointless as she would not be helping him but herself.
Yan Xinyi had waited for the man to return or at least contact his phone that was in her hands but no call was incoming at all.
In the end, she waited at the restaurant until it was closing time and she had to leave.
She had no other choice but to go home with the stranger's phone instead of hers.
She could only hope that the phone owner would give her a call when he realized the problem.
Yan Xinyi looked at the phone once again and saw her reflection on the black shiny screen looking for the clues to find the man.
The wallpaper was different than hers. Hers was a picture of pink peonies, her favourite flowers while his was a picture of unexplainable geometric patterns.
When Yan Xinyi tried to access the phone, she was stopped by the password locking the phone.
She knew that she needed to type in the correct passcode,which she did not know yet.
There were five chances to guess the passcode and she had already tried the four of them in desperation.
She knew very well if she tried the last time and failed then she would destroy the phone.
Yan Xinyi cursed. She closed her eyes and dropped herself onto the soft bed. She wanted to shed some tears for her foolishness but could not dare.
"How can you be such a jinx, Yan Xinyi?" She asked herself out aloud as she stared at the ceiling.
Yan Xinyi glanced at her pink laptop and cursed the situation. Suddenly a brilliant idea crossed her mind.
She could use the phone tracking app in her mobile phone. Her phone would ring loudly and then the man would notice that the phone in his hands was not his.
After thoroughly thinking, she realized that she had turned off the GPS in her phone.
Could she get more unlucky?!
She hurriedly opened a new tab on her browser and entered the social media platform.
Then she left a message to Que Yingyue and her family members about her current situation.
Yan Xinyi sighed in disappointment when nobody replied to her messages.
It didn't look like anyone was online because it was very late at night.
She closed down her laptop and headed to bed directly when suddenly the phone in her hand rang.
She yelled in surprise and accidentally the phone fell down. She winced as she picked up the phone again.
She rechecked the phone for any damages and heaved a heavy sigh when she found none.
She was lucky that the phone fell on the soft bed instead of the hard floor or else the owner would have asked for compensation later.
Yan Xinyi cooled herself down of the excitement and took a look at the phone only to notice that an unknown number was calling.
She hesitated for a minute whether to answer or not to but gathered her courage.
Slowly, she pressed her forefinger on the green button and glided her finger onto the screen.
Yan Xinyi cupped the phone in her left ear and waited for the other person to say hello but since it was quiet she decided to start.
"Hello." She spoke in a low tone.
"Hello." A male voice spoke from the other side.
"Who am I speaking to?" The man asked.
"I-I-I-I'm," she bit her lower lip.
Her brain did not function properly.
"Wait! Shouldn't you be the one to introduce yourself first?" She asked.
He chuckled from the other side.
The young man's voice sounded different as the one in the restaurant earlier.
"My name is Feng Zi Mo. And you are?"
'Wait a minute,I've heard that name before but where?' She asked herself.
"And you are?" The man asked returning Yan Xinyi's thoughts back to normal.
"I'm Mei Wei Qi." She answered after a few minutes of hesitation because she knew that if she had said her real name then there would be trouble.
There was a minute of silence between the two.
"You next to me in the restaurant this afternoon?" He inquired.
Yan Xinyi nodded her head and then she noticed how stupid her action was.
There was no way he could see her head from the other side. "Yes." She said afterwards.
He let out a long breath.
"I believe you have my phone in your hands and yours with me. We must have switched our phones this afternoon accidentally. "
"I think so too. I tried to call my phone earlier but I'm sure you did not hear it since it was on silence mode. "
"I noticed," he started. "There are almost thirty missed calls. I'm sorry I didn't notice this sooner. I was in a meeting with a friend." He concluded.
"That's alright. "
Her forehead scrunched as she recalled the earlier situation in the restaurant.
The one who called him in the restaurant, was he not his sister? How did he end up meeting a friend?
Wait! That was not the problem at that moment. Why was she even thinking of that? That was none of her business.
"Do you think we can meet up so that we can both have our phones back? I will wait for you in front of the restaurant." Feng Zi Mo said.
Yan Xinyi glanced at the clock on the wall.
It was ten minutes to twelve.
Usually,at that time on usual days she would be in bed already dreaming.
But that day, she could not sleep because her phone was missing.
"Now?" She inquired.
"Yes is there something wrong with that?"
"Isn't it almost midnight?" She added.
"How about we meet up tomorrow morning then in the same place." Feng Zi Mo suggested.
"Okay. Tomorrow morning it is." Yan Xinyi said. "Hold on..." she said.
"Is there anybody who might have called me?"
"Oh, your mother called you five times but I explained to her the situation. She told me to tell you to call her when you get the phone back."
"I hope you don't mind I answered your phone without your permission." He added.
"Okay bye." She made a mental note to call her mother once she got her phone.
She was in a daze, her current husband - Hu Le Qi did not even call her.
"What a jerk!" She cursed.
