Pulling out his phone, Leng Xuan found a message from Zhou Li, which read, "Go ahead tonight, I have something to do and will be back later."
It turned out that Zhou Jingpeng had already called Zhou Li, mentioning that Leng Xuan would come over for dinner and suggesting she and Leng Xuan come back together. However, after some thought, since Leng Xuan didn't truly like her, she figured it was better to keep a certain distance from him. Going home together would inevitably lead to their classmates seeing them, which would result in rumors and gossip—not good at all.
Leng Xuan didn't think much of it and replied, "Okay, I know," then put his phone in his pocket and went on his way.
"Boss, did someone send you a message?" Zhao Xiaotian asked with an insinuating expression and a smile.
"What's with all the questions?" Leng Xuan replied with a smile, giving Zhao Xiaotian, the kid, a smack on the forehead, who then touched his forehead with a silly chuckle!
