Chapter 221: Did the third young master bully you?
Di Mingjue frowned in agitation, but then shrugged it off. She seemed quite worn out, having been interrupted twice already.
Di Mingjue stretched out his hand to pull her into his embrace and handed her her mobile phone.
Gu Qibao glanced at the phone and blurted out, "It’s Jin-ge."
"Why is he calling? Don’t answer." Seizing the moment, Di Mingjue decisively leaned in and started passionately kissing her.
"Wait, wait! Maybe it’s important." Gu Qibao pushed him away and answered the call.
"Jin-ge, did you need something?" she asked.
"What are you doing?" Nangong Jin countered.
At his question, Gu Qibao’s face turned bright red, and she stammered, "N-nothing much!"
"Really?" Nangong Jin asked in a doubting tone, raising an eyebrow. "Why do you sound like that? Is Di Mingjue bullying you?"
"Huh?" Gu Qibao’s eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly denied, "No, he’s not bullying me."
Di Mingjue suddenly snatched the phone away, his voice cold with irritation, "If there’s nothing else, stop wasting time."
Upon hearing Di Mingjue’s voice, Nangong Jin immediately broke into laughter, "Have you two made up?"
Without responding, Di Mingjue held the call on speaker and tossed the phone aside, proceeding with his actions.
Gu Qibao: "..."
Ah, this guy really has no concept of subtlety!
"Stop fooling around!" Gu Qibao chided, her voice barely above a whisper.
Di Mingjue smirked, "Nangong Jin, are you done? If you are, I’m hanging up."
If they weren’t back together then what was this? All they ever did was prattle endlessly, none of what they said was ever to the point.
Nangong Jin: "..."
Dear god, Di Mingjue, first you accept help, then once it’s over, you cut ties?
Nangong Jin, however, picked up some hints and chuckled slyly, "I totally forgot to tell you about the ’distress strategy’!"
Gu Qibao frowned,"What distress strategy?"
Before Di Mingjue could end the call, Nangong Jin started speaking non-stop, "If you have nothing else to do, pretend to be slightly injured. Like tripping when going upstairs or breaking a leg when coming downstairs. I promise Qibao will definitely feel sorry for you. Then you can take the chance..."
Di Mingjue quickly grabbed the phone, turned off the speaker, and replied indifferently, "I got it. Don’t call again!"
Having said this, he hung up and switched off his phone.
Gu Qibao looked at him with an innocent face, "What did Jin-ge mean?"
Di Mingjue felt somewhat embarrassed, but after some silence he finally spoke, "Nangong Jin was suggesting ways for us to reconcile."
Gu Qibao blinked, so he had even mobilized his friends for her—she couldn’t help feeling touched. With a deep thump on the bed, Gu Qibao encouraged, "Husband, let’s continue!"
Di Mingjue was taken aback by Gu Qibao’s vigorous manner. Smiling at her willingness to sacrifice, he teased, "You naughty girl."
Undeterred, Gu Qibao pushed Di Mingjue down, "Come on, don’t be shy."
Di Mingjue: "..."
Meanwhile,
Di Mingzhe had heard from Di Mingchen that Di Mingjue and Gu Qibao had been arguing fiercely. The reason being Di Xiaxia.
He had been dealing with work till late and only came home recently.
Di Xiaxia was nestled in his room, watching a melodrama with Di Jinxuan and munching on various snacks. They seemed incredibly happy.
Walking in, Di Mingzhe frowned. Had he just entered a dump?
Packaging of snacks strewn all over the floor, Di Xiaxia’s clothing randomly scattered around the room. The most annoying part, even her intimate wear was tossed haphazardly.
