Ning Qirui waited for a long time but did not get any response from Wen Jingping. The coldness in his eyes intensified. “Let’s stop talking about me. How are you doing? Is your work going well?”

His question successfully pulled Wen Jingping out of her negativity. She forced herself to control her emotions and said in distress, “It’s not going very well.”

He had a vague guess as soon as he heard her reply and raised his eyebrows slightly. He asked calmly, “Did something happen?”

“Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that there was a host on the same livestream platform as me who copied my recipes. I didn’t think of embarrassing her too much, so I only posted an update to persuade her to stop her behavior of infringing on my content copyright. I didn’t expect this person to have a strong following, and she discredited me instead. Now many people on the Internet are attacking me, and the variety show also...”

Wen Jingping delivered her speech forlornly, and if it were during other times, Ning Qirui would have already comforted her sympathetically.

However, today, Ning Qirui was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Does Huo Shaofeng know about this?”

“Shaofeng?” Wen Jingping was stunned. Normally, he would not ask her this question.

“Shaofeng has been busy lately, and I can’t bother him with such trivial matters.”

‘If you do not want to bother him, then you will bother me?’ Ning Qirui suddenly felt bitterness welling up.

“Oh.”

Wen Jingping was dumbfounded. Did he say “Oh”? At times like this, should he not behave with enthusiasm?

Without waiting for Wen Jingping to mull over it, Ning Qirui asked calmly, “Right, you told me that Huo Shaofeng proposed to withdraw from his marriage arrangements in public because the Su family was unwilling to accept his rejection? Did he tell you this, or did you guess it yourself?”

“Bro Qirui, why are you suddenly asking about this? Did anyone say anything to you?”

“How can you tell if anyone said anything to me? Can’t I be curious about it?”

“… That was not what I meant.”

“So, which is it?”

“He told me, and I also saw it with my own eyes.”

“Then you said before that Ms. Su went to your school to bother you. Did it happen in public? Was there anyone around?”

Wen Jingping did not understand why Ning Qirui wanted to pursue this topic all of a sudden, but it did not stop her from feeling guilty. “She said she wanted to talk to me alone, so...”

“Was there no one around?”

“… Yes.”

“I see.” The warmth in Ning Qirui’s eyes had dissipated entirely, and he already came to a conclusion in his heart.

Wen Jingping could not see Ning Qirui’s expression, but she intuitively felt something leaving her. She felt inexplicably flustered and said pleadingly, “Qirui...”

“It’s time for my treatment. We’ll talk again next time.”

After Ning Qirui finished speaking, he did not wait to hear Wen Jingping’s reply and ended the call.

Wen Jingping listened to the dial tone, and it took a while to come to her senses. Did Ning Qirui hang up on her?

Her last hope was shattered. Wen Jingping could no longer suppress the anger in her heart and overturned the table next to her.

“They usually speak sweetly, but none of them can be trusted during critical moments!”

In her anger, Wen Jingping threw everything within her reach, and her face twisted into a crazed and distorted expression. There was no trace of the gentleness she adopted when she talked to Ning Qirui.

Ning Qirui hung up the phone. His heart had ached for someone and felt injustice for her, but in the end, he was a lovesick fool.

In his annoyance, Ning Qirui punched the hospital bed, which clattered audibly.
