155 Reinforcements Will Arrive on the Battlefield in 24 Hours
When Han Yixuan received the call from Wang Heng, she was at Pei Ningle’s home.
The two girls were chatting about skincare tips when they were interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone.
Han Yixuan picked up her phone and looked at it, her gaze freezing. Looking up, she saw Pei Ningle staring at her with blinking eyes.
“Is it an important call?” Pei Ningle asked.
Han Yixuan’s brain went into overdrive, thinking immediately—I definitely can’t let Little Le know that this call is from Wang Heng, otherwise the alliance between her and me will inevitably crack severely.
Then, avoid Pei Ningle and go to another room to answer the call?
That won’t work either. Little Le just often lets her mind wander, thinking about music and creation. Being absent-minded from time to time doesn’t mean she’s really stupid. And at this moment, Little Le is staring at me, indicating that her attention is on me, not offline.
To answer a call, deliberately running to another room, this behavior is simply writing the words ‘I have a secret I can’t tell, I’m very suspicious’ on my face for her to see…
In just one or two seconds, Han Yixuan had already thought of a result.
She sat in front of Pei Ningle and answered Wang Heng’s call. But before answering, she quietly lowered the call volume to ensure that Wang Heng’s voice on the phone wouldn’t leak out.
With her ear pressed tightly against the phone, Han Yixuan heard Wang Heng’s voice:
“Hello, is this Student Han Yixuan? I want to ask, are you home now?”
Fortunately, fortunately, it’s okay to say this kind of routine question openly in front of Pei Ningle.
As if just talking to an ordinary friend, the girl replied calmly, “No, I’m still in Rongdu. My flight is tomorrow morning. I’ll change to a bus in the provincial capital, and probably… arrive around dinner time.”
Wang Heng sighed. “Is that so.”
Han Yixuan asked, “Is something wrong?”
Wang Heng on the other end of the line seemed to consider his words and said in a low voice, “To be honest, I need your support.”
Han Yixuan’s face stiffened, and a silent alarm bell rang in her mind. She realized that the enemy this time was obviously not a lightweight like Pei Ningle. Although she hadn’t met or dealt with her yet, she could hear from Wang Heng’s tired voice that he was struggling to defend.
In an instant, Han Yixuan wished she could cross thousands of miles right now and return to that small city.
Otherwise, if she went back late and Wang Heng really fell, then… she dared not imagine the worst consequences.
But soon, Han Yixuan came back to her senses. She noticed that Pei Ningle was staring at her with curiosity in her eyes.
Would telling Little Le about the enemy situation help? Hmm, it seems useless. Pei Ningle is also going back to her hometown for the New Year in a few days. The tickets are booked, so she definitely can’t go with me to fight the enemy, right? And if Pei Ningle enters the field, the complexity of the situation… would be too difficult to control.
So Han Yixuan said into the phone, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there in 24 hours!”
“Then thank you very much. After this matter is over, I definitely have to thank you properly. Besides a big meal, you can also think about other forms of reward. Anyway, as long as we don’t talk about feelings, it’s fine.”
Then Wang Heng hung up the phone, and Han Yixuan was stunned for another two seconds.
Although this guy emphasized ‘don’t talk about feelings’ just now, words like ‘other forms of reward’ still couldn’t help but make the girl’s imagination run wild. The key was, compared to Wang Heng’s previous attitude, he seemed to have a feeling of the iceberg melting now… Was this not her illusion?
Pei Ningle couldn’t help but ask, “Little Xuan, was that your best friend just now?”
Han Yixuan took a deep breath and smiled. “Yes, a very close best friend…”
**
Wang Heng made this call to Han Yixuan in the bathroom. The reason for locking himself in the bathroom was to use the toilet.
After the call, he walked out of the bathroom and said, “Let’s go out to eat.”
Xiao Renjian’s small eyes lit up instantly. “What are we eating? What are we eating?”
Wang Heng ignored this freeloader, looked at his father and Lu Qi, and asked, “What do you want to eat?”
Lu Qi smiled. “I’m fine with anything, it’s up to you.”
Father: “A new restaurant opened nearby. I ate there once, it was not bad…”
Wang Heng nodded. “Okay, let’s go there.”
His father wanted to remind him that the consumption level of that restaurant was not low. The reason he could taste the food there was entirely because the company business entertainment didn’t require him to pay, otherwise, he would definitely be reluctant to spend money himself.
But on second thought, thinking of his son’s account balance and the strength inadvertently revealed by Miss Lu Qi in the chat, it seemed… he didn’t need to say much?
So the four of them left the house, walked for ten minutes, and arrived at that nice restaurant.
Because they didn’t book in advance, they could only sit at the scattered seats in the hall. But at this time, a problem arose.
The scattered seats were rectangular dining tables with four chairs, arranged in pairs on both sides of the table. So, how should Wang Heng, his father, Xiao Renjian, and Lu Qi sit?
His father glanced around, taking in the different reactions of the three young people—especially the expressions of Wang Heng and Lu Qi, which made him ponder.
From the moment he picked them up at the station, he felt that the relationship between his son and this girl with extraordinary appearance and temperament seemed very unusual. To say they were just ordinary friends, but looking at Lu Qi’s words and deeds and attitude, there was a subtle feeling…
Wang Jian couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. As expected of his son, this technique of playing hard to get was really exquisite. So as a father, what else could he do?
Of course, help his son struggle twenty years less!
This witty middle-aged man suddenly put his arm around Xiao Renjian’s shoulder, led this kid to sit on one side of the dining table, and said at the same time, “Little Xiao, the last time I saw you was a year ago, right? You haven’t come over for a long time…”
Xiao Renjian smiled and responded, “Yes, Uncle, didn’t I come today…”
The two sat down and started chatting. So the other side of the dining table naturally belonged to Wang Heng and Lu Qi.
Wang Heng was stunned on the spot—Father, what are you doing?
Genetically and legally speaking, are you really my biological father?
Lu Qi sat down happily. Then, she turned to look at Wang Heng, who was still standing there, and silently patted the empty seat beside her.
After a brief daze, Wang Heng sneered.
He had even brushed her teeth for her. What was the big deal about sitting next to her for dinner?
Just like that, Wang Heng sat openly next to the mature woman.
