When Gong Yanli saw Ji Tong get up, he almost instinctively reached out to grab her wrist. Then he hung up Miao Miao's call and said, "I..."
"Dr. Gong, you don't need to explain to me." Ji Tong forcefully shook off the man's hand. "We were just playing along. You don't need to explain your relationship with your ex-girlfriend to me. Anyway, I won't take what you just said in front of my mother seriously. It's all to put her at ease and make sure I don't have to go on blind dates anymore."
It would be a lie to say that Ji Tong wasn't moved by what Gong Yanli said at the dinner party.
She had never been in a relationship and rarely heard vows of eternal love.
However, in her opinion, those few words from Gong Yanli at the dinner party were more effective than any sweet talk.
It's not flashy, but it sounds very reassuring.
Perhaps it was their relationship that made her think those words were meant for her.
Ji Tong spoke as she walked towards the door.
At this moment, she even felt ridiculous and embarrassed about her own unrequited love.
She had just walked to a bookshelf when Gong Yanli got up and chased after her, raising his arm to block her path. The force was so great that the bookshelf shook slightly.
Fearing he would fall, Gong Yanli quickly braced himself against the bookshelf with both hands.
This posture makes it seem as if Ji Tong is confined to a small space.
Ji Tong was displeased. "What's going on? I never knew Dr. Gong had this side to him."
"I'm sorry." Gong Yanli's fingers, which were resting on the bookshelf, curled slightly. He hesitated for a moment but did not pull them back. "Could you give me a chance to speak?"
The reason he was so agitated was simply because he saw Ji Tong leave and remembered how she had blocked his contact information a few years ago.
“Okay, go ahead.” Ji Tong placed her hand on the man’s arm. “Take your hand off, let’s talk this out.”
“Okay.” Gong Yanli stopped and stood in front of the woman. “I haven’t been in contact with her for a long time, and I’ve blocked her number. I don’t need to know why she would call from another number.”
Ji Tong listened expressionlessly.
After confirming that the person had finished speaking, she clasped her hands together and said coldly, "Do you think I'd believe that? You haven't been in contact with her for years. Why did she call you just when I arrived today? How could such a coincidence happen? Did she really wait for me right on time to ask you to get back together?"
"..."
"What? I've become part of your reconciliation play again? Aren't you tired of playing the same trick twice?!"
Ji Tongzhen has become a sensation.
Are these two really treating her like a fool?!
"I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, and I don't know why she called me today."
Miyahiko could only repeat it once more.
He knew that everything he said was the truth.
He simply couldn't refute the coincidence.
Ji Tong rolled her eyes at the man, too lazy to say anything or even look at him.
Her gaze lingered for a long time before finally settling on a toy dog in the corner of the room.
The toy dog was plush, unlike something an adult would keep; it looked more like a child's toy.
Such a childish and cute thing is completely out of place in the room.
Ji Tong has excellent eyesight.
In the dim light of the room, she vaguely felt that something was wrong with the dog; its eyes seemed... to be really looking at them.
Upon closer inspection, the dog's two eyes appear to be slightly different.
A possibility suddenly flashed through Ji Tong's mind.
"If I hadn't blocked her, she wouldn't have changed her phone number..."
"Stop." Ji Tong raised her right hand, pressed her finger to the man's lips to signal him to shut up, then looked at the man and asked, "Why is there a toy dog at your house?"
Just as Gong Yanli was about to turn around, Ji Tong quickly raised both hands to press his face down, forcing him to look only at her, and said in a low voice, "Don't turn around, just look at me and say it."
