Chapter 162: A Guilty Conscience
"Sorry, I have to take a call." Yan Ai said, took out her cell phone and turned around to answer the call.
She was so focused on how to reject Gong Yan'an's invitation that she answered the call without even noticing the caller ID.
"Where are you?"
When Yan Ai heard this voice, her hair stood on end instantly.
It’s Feng Jue!
"Don't hang up the phone!"
The man seemed to have predicted her action. When she was about to hang up the phone, a cold voice came at the right time.
Yan Ai paused as she was about to hang up the phone, then lowered her voice and asked, "What's the matter?"
Feng Jue asked, "You're not at home, where did you go?"
Yan Ai subconsciously clenched her phone. This bastard actually went to Lake Coast again. He really treated it as his home, didn’t he?
"It has nothing to do with you." Yan Ai said coldly.
Although she tried her best to control her voice, her words and impatient tone were still heard by Tang Yajun and Gong Yan'an word for word in the quiet environment of the shopping mall.
Hearing this, Tang Yajun and Gong Yan'an couldn't help but look at each other suspiciously, and then looked away gently in tacit understanding.
After all, they didn't know each other, and they both felt a little awkward after looking at each other.
"If you're okay, I'll hang up." Yan Ai waited for a while but didn't get a response from Feng Jue, so she hung up the phone decisively.
She put away her phone, turned around, and said to Gong Yan'an, "I'm sorry, Doctor Gong, my friend and I have already reserved a table, so I won't be coming over. Doctor Gong will see Academician Song later, please say hello to her for me."
Yan Ai wasn't sure if anyone else was with Academician Song, so to avoid embarrassment, she decided not to go over.
Another day, she would visit Academician Song in person.
Gong Yanan didn't force it anymore, and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, I'll be over first. Bye."
Then he nodded politely to Tang Yajun before leaving.
After Gong Yan'an walked away, Tang Yajun immediately asked, "Xiao Ai, who is this Doctor Gong? When did you meet him? Why haven't I heard you mention him before?"
Yan Ai didn't know how to explain to Tang Yajun that this was one of her "blind date candidates".
"I'm hungry. Let's go fill our stomachs first." Yan Ai needed time to sort things out, so she temporarily used a delaying tactic.
"Okay." Tang Yajun quickly took Yan Ai's arm and went to take the elevator.
At the same time, Lake Coast Community.
Feng Jue was standing in front of Yan Ai's house, his stern figure stretched out long under the light of the corridor.
He was still holding the phone, staring at the screen with his eyes lowered.
There was a photo on the screen. There were three people in the photo, one man and two women. It was the picture of Yan Ai, Tang Yajun and Gong Yanan standing at the entrance of the cinema and chatting.
Of course, Feng Jue didn’t know Gong Yan’an. He only recognized the woman next to Yan Ai. She was her best friend and the only outsider on Yan Ai’s side who knew about their marriage.
This photo was sent to his mobile phone by a friend three minutes ago. After seeing it, he immediately called Yan Ai.
The call was answered immediately, but the woman's voice was clearly suppressed, as if she was guilty of something.
And she refused to say where she was or what she was doing.
If she was just going to the movies with her bestie, why would she be so secretive?
Feng Jue then sent the photo to Shang Yin and left a message asking him to help find out who the man in the photo was.
After sending the message, he put away his phone, turned around and pressed the elevator button.
