After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 533: Chapter 537 The Difference Between Love and Not Love [2]

Xu Xia didn’t doubt Xu Pei’s motive and simply briefed her on the situation.

”I don’t know exactly what happened, but that night, Leng Zimo suddenly called me, asking if Xiao Qian had been in touch with me. I just said no, and he hung up. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but later, the more I thought about it, the more something felt wrong. I tried calling Xiao Qian, at first she didn’t answer, and then her phone was turned off. I couldn’t reach Leng Zimo either. I was worried about Xiao Qian, and since I had no work today, I flew back from Jeju Island immediately!”

As they talked, they quickly arrived at World City. Xu Pei, worried that Leng Zimo might notice her new car, deliberately made an excuse to park the car in a distant parking space, then led Xu Xia to the entrance of the unit where Leng Zimo and Xiao Qian were.

”1901!”

Xu Pei told Xu Xia their room number, and Xu Xia immediately pressed the intercom button on the access control, entering the room number Xu Pei told her, ”Xiao Qian, hurry up and open the door, it’s Xu Xia.”

The gate immediately opened, and they took the elevator together. When the elevator doors opened, Luo Xiaoqian was already waiting outside the elevator.

”You little brat, playing a disappearing act? Your phone is unreachable, and no one can find you?”

Upon seeing her, Xu Xia immediately started scolding her.

”I... I’ve had some special circumstances,” Luo Xiaoqian said with a smile as she grabbed Xu Xia’s arm, turning politely to Xu Pei, ”Sister Xu Pei, you’re here too?”

”Xu Xia isn’t familiar with the area, and I happened to be free, so I brought her over!” Xu Pei answered with a smile.

The three of them walked toward the apartment, and Luo Xiaoqian entered the password to unlock the door. Xu Pei took this chance to scrutinize her carefully from head to toe, noticing the abrasion on her calf, she immediately exclaimed in shock, ”Ah, Xiao Qian, what happened to your leg?!”

As Luo Xiaoqian pushed the door open, she said, ”It’s nothing, just a scratch from being careless.”

”No way!” Xu Pei took two steps forward, grabbing her arm, ”You have injuries on your hands, and on your face... so many wounds, did something happen?”

Xu Xia hadn’t noticed until then, but with this prompt, she immediately frowned and stepped forward to inspect Luo Xiaoqian’s injuries closely, becoming angry at once.

Spotting Leng Zimo coming out of the kitchen with a tray of juice, she grabbed Luo Xiaoqian’s arm and quickly confronted him, pointing a finger at his face.

”Leng Zimo, come clean with me, what’s going on with Xiao Qian’s injuries?”

”Xu Xia!” Luo Xiaoqian struggled to pull her arm away and lowered Xu Xia’s finger, which was pointing at Leng Zimo’s palm, ”Don’t be impulsive, it’s not what you think!”

”Get out of the way!” Xu Xia pushed her aside, ”Leng Zimo, don’t think just because you’re the EM company CEO, I’m afraid of you. I’m telling you, today, you have to explain things clearly, or this isn’t over between us.”

”Zimo, don’t get angry, Xu Xia doesn’t mean any harm,” Luo Xiaoqian said as she stepped forward again, grabbing Xu Xia, ”Xu Xia, listen to me, it really isn’t what you think.”

”Yes, Xu Xia, let Xiao Qian finish her sentence, won’t you?” Xu Pei also stepped forward to help mediate.

Leng Zimo stood behind Luo Xiaoqian with the tray in his hand, his expression calm, not at all angered by Xu Xia’s outburst.

As the two held her back, Xu Xia was still furious, ”Xiao Qian, tell me the truth, did he hit you?”

”No!” Luo Xiaoqian said earnestly.
