Chapter 71: I Don’t Care Who’s in Charge?
"Yes." Nangong Ran nodded, sparing no detail as he relayed everything to Di Mingjue, including how Bo Chengxin had cursed at Gu Qibao, how she splashed water on her, even double downing.
He also mentioned how Bo Chengyan intervened to protect Qibao from Bo Chengxin’s arrogance. He told Mingjue everything.
Mingjue’s face grew colder as he listened, his eyes growing so icy it felt like they could kill. With a frigid smile, he said, "Nangong Ran, are you a fool? You’re only telling me this now?"
A tremor ran through Nangong Ran. He thought, wasn’t it due to lack of opportunity?
Last night, when he informed Di Mingjue where Qibao was, he wanted to tell him then, but Mingjue had hung up the phone before he had a chance to speak.
He had thought that it would not be good to disturb them, so he didn’t mention anything.
Nangong Ran pursed his lips, "You’re not too late to find out now. Bo Chenghe said that if Chengxin doesn’t eat, she would rather die. If something happens to her, wouldn’t Xiaoqi be blamed in the end?"
"She dares!" Di Mingjue’s frigid eyes narrowed, a deadly chill erupting from them.
"Anyway, Xiaoqi said that she told you about this matter this morning, but you didn’t seem to want to get involved. If you don’t want to intervene, then don’t. I’ll seek help privately." Nangong Ran stood up and said.
In short, he could not stand seeing Qibao suffer like this. All the bullying Bo Chengxin had done to Qibao must be returned!
Qibao has never been treated like this since she was a child.
"Hold on." Di Mingjue’s cold gaze fixed on him, stopping Nangong Ran in his tracks.
This morning, he had already told Qibao to wait for him in the afternoon, clearly intending to deal with this matter. He did not expect this stubborn girl to misunderstand his intent as indifference.
Silence doesn’t always mean indifference.
Seeing his expression, Nangong Ran raised an eyebrow, "Are you going to get involved?"
Di Mingjue coldly snorted, "If I don’t, who will?"
A simple sentence, but it brimmed with authority and dominance!
Nangong Ran’s eyes lit up. He was invincible in his admiration, Duke is truly powerful and domineering. If he doesn’t get involved, who will? How manly!
Nangong Ran was satisfied, it looks like Di Mingjue does like Gu Qibao a lot.
Fulfilling his objective, Nangong Ran prepared to leave. Gathering up the courage, he said to Di Mingjue before leaving, "Your Excellency, could you treat Xiaoqi more kindly?"
Di Mingjue was puzzled by the comment. His face suddenly cooled, "Am I not treating her well?"
Reminded of the fight from last time, Nangong Ran shook his head, "It’s not really that. I just think Qibao has been feeling wronged these days. Could you be a bit more gentle to her?"
Nangong Ran expected Di Mingjue to tell him off after hearing such a thing. To his surprise, Di Mingjue nodded and simply said, "Sure."
As Nangong Ran left, he felt pleased. In fact, he didn’t think Di Mingjue treated Qibao badly. It was just Mingjue’s personality. Not all kind treatments have to look the same, as everyone has different ways of showing it.
Maybe that’s where the fun in their relationship comes from. If Di Mingjue suddenly turned into a tender and gentle man, it might frighten everyone.
So, as long as Di Mingjue likes Qibao, who cares how they get along?
Just as Nangong Ran reached the door of the company, he got a call from Di Mingjue summoning him back.
As it turned out, school was almost over. Di Mingjue asked him to pick up Qibao and bring her to the company, and also asked Lan Feng to pick up Bo Chengxin.
Nangong Ran was thrilled. It looked like Di Mingjue was going to resolve this issue.
Once he got involved, everything would be a piece of cake. He was known for his swift, accurate, and ruthless style, never wasting words.
After their conversation, Nangong Ran went off happily to pick up Gu Qibao.
The first thing Nangong Ran said to Qibao was, "I must tell you, I’m now a fan of the Duke!"
Qibao was confused and perplexed. She reached out to touch Nangong Ran’s forehead, "You don’t have a fever, do you?"
