After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 531: Chapter 535 Thank You and Sorry [5]

Yu Tong flashed a smile and pressed her onto the sofa, then poured another cup of water and handed it to her, ”Let’s do this, you wait here for a moment, I’ll immediately call President Leng to check on the situation, and if he’s available, I’ll take you to see Xiao Qian right away.”

Xu Xia snatched the cup of water with a huff and gulped down its contents, ”I don’t care if he’s available or not, I want to see Xiao Qian, right now, immediately!”

”Okay, I’ll call right away, immediately!” Yu Tong said, laughing as she took out her phone.

Before she could dial the number, someone already knocked on the office door.

Zhuo Yannan went to open the door and saw Xu Pei standing outside, breaking into a smile, ”Director Xu, you’re here?”

”Yes, I’m still feeling a bit under the weather and got up late today, I’ve come for a meeting. I heard you were here, so I came to check in, nothing serious, I hope?” Xu Pei cast a glance around the room, her gaze pausing on Xu Xia, ”Xu Xia, what brings you here?”

”Humph!” Xu Xia snorted, ”All thanks to your great President Leng and his wonderful deeds!”

”Zimo?” Xu Pei walked into the office, smiling as she approached Xu Xia, ”How did he offend you?”

”If he dares to bully Xiao Qian, he’s offending me!” Xu Xia replied, anger in her voice.

”Bullying Xiao Qian?” Xu Pei glanced at Zhuo Yannan and Yu Tong, ”Are you... keeping something from me?!”

Hearing her ask this, Xu Xia was also taken aback. She had assumed that Xu Pei must have been aware of the matter, but realizing her reaction was too late for any cover-up, she silently berated herself for her big mouth.

”Ah, well, it’s not really a big deal!” Yu Tong quickly interjected, ”It’s just that Xiao Qian and President Leng had a little disagreement, Xu Xia couldn’t get through to Xiao Qian on the phone, she was worried, so she came to check at the company.”

”Right, right, that’s exactly it,” Xu Xia quickly agreed.

Did they really think they could fool her with such poor acting?

Xu Pei sneered inwardly but maintained a normal smile on her face, ”How could that be, Zimo is so good to Xiao Qian. I’m guessing her phone probably wasn’t with her, or maybe she forgot it somewhere. I will, right now, give Zimo a call to check.”

Ever since the incident, she had been considering how to probe the current status between Leng Zimo and Luo Xiaoqian. Now that the opportunity was in front of her, she certainly wouldn’t miss it.

Without giving the others a chance to speak, Xu Pei immediately took out her phone and dialed Leng Zimo’s number.

The call connected quickly.

”See, it went through, didn’t it?” Xu Pei showed the screen to Xu Xia before putting the phone to her ear, ”I guarantee you, they are definitely fine.”

After four rings, someone finally answered.

”Hello?” The voice that came through the receiver wasn’t the one Xu Pei was expecting to hear—it was an unexpected female voice, ”Sister Xu Pei, this is Xiao Qian. Zimo is taking a shower and can’t come to the phone right now. Is there anything I can help you with?”

”You are, Xiao Qian?!”

”Yes, it’s me!” On the other end of the line, Luo Xiaoqian’s voice remained calm, ”Sister Xu Pei, are you looking for Zimo about something? If so, shall I have him call you back later?”

If it had been anyone else calling Leng Zimo, Luo Xiaoqian might not have answered, but seeing it was Xu Pei’s number, and being quite familiar with her, she decided to pick up.

It was really Luo Xiaoqian!

Xu Pei could hardly hide her surprise.
