Chapter 91
Chi Yu: "I will find out who spread the rumors, that's slander!" At this moment, Chi Yu's phone kept vibrating. He looked and saw it was a call from Chen Nan, so he immediately turned it off. No matter what the issue was, clearing his name was the most important thing right now.
Seeing Chi Yu's serious expression, Song Luokui wondered if she had really misunderstood him. Song Luokui wanted to withdraw her hand. "Please let go of me."
Chi Yu: "I won't. If I let go, you'll run away. Give me three minutes, and I'll find out who's spreading the rumors."
Song Luokui: "Let go of me first. I won't run away."
"Really won't run away?"
"Won't run away."
"Okay." Chi Yu immediately let go of her. Song Luokui crossed her arms, "You said three minutes."
"Okay!" Chi Yu immediately called Chen Nan. On the other end, Chen Nan immediately said, "Big boss, something big has happened. Someone said you have connections with the Leng family or the Lan family or someone else!"
Chi Yu's expression turned stern. "Who exactly said that?"
Chen Nan hesitated a bit. "Uh... I think it was around noon. Everyone heard that you have a girlfriend, so they speculated about who your girlfriend might be, and it just spread like that."
Chi Yu put the phone on speaker. "Say that again."
Chen Nan, still not understanding, repeated, "Around noon, everyone found out you have a girlfriend, so they speculated that maybe it's someone from the Leng family? Or the Lan family? Or even a foreigner. A lot of people guessed, and it just spread without anyone knowing the source."
Chi Yu looked at Song Luokui: "So, who do you think my girlfriend is?"
Chen Nan: "Haha! It must be Miss Song."
Hearing Chen Nan's words, Song Luokui looked at Chi Yu again, wondering if it was really a misunderstanding.
Chi Yu: "Resolve this by tomorrow."
Chen Nan: "This Miss Song..."
Chi Yu: "Keep it confidential."
Chen Nan: "Got it, I'll definitely solve it tonight."
"Mm."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Yu looked at Song Luokui: "Now do you see that I'm wronged?"
Song Luokui didn't say anything, her expression still serious.
Chi Yu felt anxious, immediately grabbing her hand with a worried look on his face. "I really don't know them. You heard what Chen Nan said, it's all a misunderstanding. You heard it, right?"
Song Luokui's expression was still conflicted. "Okay, I'll believe for now that you don't know them, but... do you really have no other women?"
Chi Yu was very firm. "No, I swear, except for my family members, from childhood until now, I've never gone out to eat, chat, or do anything with any woman other than you."
Song Luokui scrutinized him. "...So you're still a..."
Chi Yu's ears turned a bit red. "...Yes."
In the distance, a familiar car approached the gate of the courtyard. Chi Yu quickly embraced Song Luokui, guiding her in front of him and walking with her to the car, letting her sit inside. "I see your brother's car."
Song Luokui's expression changed drastically, and she quickly hid inside the car. "Did he see me?"
Chi Yu looked at the rearview mirror. Song Luosheng's car had quickly entered the courtyard. "Seems like he didn't. The car went in."
"Really?"
"Mm."
Song Luokui let out a sigh of relief, then realized Chi Yu was still embracing her. She immediately pushed him away.
Chi Yu looked a bit dejected. "It really was all a misunderstanding. I originally planned to take you to Chunyu Building for dinner... Can you please unblock me on WeChat and give me back my phone number?"
Song Luokui: "What 'unblock' and 'give back'?"
Chi Yu: "WeChat. And my phone number."
Song Luokui then remembered she had blocked him. "...Okay." She quickly unblocked him and added him back.
Chi Yu felt a weight lifted off his heart. "Shall we have dinner together?"
Suddenly, Song Luokui's expression changed. "Oh no! I threw away the necklace you gave me. Back to the school!"
Chi Yu: "...The necklace is thrown away, let it be. I'll buy you another one."
Song Luokui glanced at him. "I was originally coming back to throw away the things you gave me."
Chi Yu: "...It's fine, I'll buy you another one." Luckily he explained quickly, or else it seems like she might have thrown away everything he gave her.
Song Luokui: "Hurry back. I need to go pick it up."
Chi Yu returned to the driver's seat and drove toward the school. "Then shall we still go to Chunyu Building?"
Song Luokui glanced at him. "No, I have something to do tonight."
Chi Yu was still a bit tentative. "...Then our..."
Song Luokui: "We'll talk about our matters when I have time. On the weekend, I'll definitely give you an answer."
"Okay." At this point, Chi Yu didn't dare say anything more.
Song Luokui suddenly asked, "Do you think I'm asking you to sleep with me?"
Chi Yu stiffened, turning to look at her briefly before turning back to focus on the road. "If it's you, I don't mind whatever you want to do."
Song Luokui looked at him, then lowered her gaze. "You haven't confessed to me yet."
Chi Yu: "I'll prepare it when I get back!" He had originally planned to make a formal confession tonight.
Song Luokui nodded. "Then I won't give you an answer yet."
Chi Yu: "Okay."
Soon they arrived at the female dormitory. Song Luokui quickly opened the car door and ran back to her dorm. "Sisi, Jingfeng, I... my necklace, where is it?"
Wang Sisi: "Is that the one you just threw away? I picked it up, I was afraid you had thrown it away by mistake or something, since it looked so expensive, so I kept it." The necklace could practically buy a down payment on a house in Jing City.
Wang Sisi handed the necklace wrapped in tissue paper to Song Luokui. Song Luokui took it, opened it, and sure enough, it was the one she had thrown away. She was terrified, thinking it was lost.
"Thank you." Song Luokui took the necklace to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, rinsed it, then used tissue paper to dry it before putting it back in the box in the drawer.
Song Luokui sat down in the chair to rest. Suddenly she remembered that Chi Yu was still outside, not knowing if he had left yet. Song Luokui ran out to the balcony to look down, and the car was still parked there. She was considering just calling him to leave, but remembering the misunderstanding earlier, she decided to go down.
She wasn't angry anymore.
Song Luokui went back downstairs and got into Chi Yu's car. "Give me a ride home?"
Chi Yu: "Okay... but your brother just came back to the courtyard, is that okay?"
Song Luokui hit her forehead. "Oh right." She looked at Chi Yu. "Then... can you go back first? I'll have Uncle An come pick me up."
After a moment, she shook her head. "Never mind, take me to ChunWang Manor."
Chi Yu: "How do you get there?"
Song Luokui: "I've been going to the company there lately. Sometimes I stay late, so my brother gave me a large unit there to stay if I'm too late. I'm going to check on the renovation progress."
Chi Yu: "I think I also have a unit there."
Song Luokui looked at him. "You live there too?"
Chi Yu: "I'm not living there right now." The future was yet to be determined.
