More than just sound.
Ning Qiluo also saw guilt in Qi Xiangchen's dark eyes.
She shook her head and said, "Actually... you don't know I'm here, and I don't know you're here either."
After a pause, Ning Qiluo added, "If I had known earlier that I had an older brother who was a professor at University A, I would have come much sooner."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiangchen felt a wave of guilt wash over him, and he chuckled softly.
It was a low chuckle without making a sound.
With just a slight upturn at the corners of his lips, he exuded an air of refined elegance and sophistication.
"Was it your agent who locked you there?" Qi Xiangchen asked her.
Ning Qiluo was about to nod when she saw Qi Xiangchen's face suddenly darken, a faint shadow rising between his brows: "Sheng Changxiu is so sure we won't do anything to her, she's even bribed the people around you!"
Ning Qiluo heard the name Sheng Changxiu.
Long sleeves!
Surname Sheng!
Ning Qiluo almost immediately linked this name with the woman surnamed Sheng that Su Jiusheng had told her that day.
At the same time, the outline of a woman's face vaguely appeared in her mind, but it was just an outline; she couldn't see the face clearly and couldn't remember what she looked like.
She immediately looked towards the doorway.
Su Jiusheng, who had been leaning against the door, had vanished without a trace; no one knew where he had gone.
"Sheng Changxiu, who is she? Do I know her?" Ning Qiluo asked Qi Xiangchen.
At that moment, Qi Xiangchen saw the panic on Ning Qiluo's face.
My heart sank.
He was careless.
He shouldn't have mentioned that woman's name in front of his sister.
“She’s not important, you don’t know her,” Qi Xiangchen changed the subject.
He took off the ice pack and looked at it. "The redness has subsided. I'll prescribe some Panax notoginseng tablets for you. I'll take you home later."
Ning Qiluo nodded, "Okay," then after a moment, asked, "Are you really my brother?"
Qi Xiangchen's smile deepened: "Do you think I look like your brother?"
Ning Qiluo: "Yes! But I mean you look more like your mother!"
Qi Xiangchen: "Then why don't you call me brother?"
Ning Qiluo was very logical: "You didn't call me 'sister' either!"
Yes, the second and third brothers immediately revealed their identities.
They let her know that they were her brothers!
But the brother in front of her neither called her sister nor said what their relationship was. Ning Qiluo recognized him entirely by his eyes. Fortunately, Su Jiusheng said that Qi Xiangchen was her brother!
But there was one thing that puzzled Ning Qiluo.
Su Jiusheng has a wide network of connections; it seems like he knows everyone around her.
Just then, she heard Qi Xiangchen say to her, "Luo Luo, this is your fourth brother. We haven't seen each other for... three months and sixteen days, but I've been keeping up with all your activities."
As soon as he finished speaking...
Qi Xiangchen suddenly stood up and blocked Ning Qiluo from the side, in a protective posture.
Ning Qiluo didn't know what was going on, she only saw her fourth brother's body blocking her side.
But soon, she heard a chattering sound coming from outside the door:
"Did you see it clearly? Did you see it clearly?"
"Isn't she pretty? Isn't she pretty?"
"How does she look? Is she like a celestial beauty? I bet she's absolutely gorgeous! I saw that photo on the forum, OMG, it's like a domineering CEO embracing his sweet little wife."
"Damn it! Professor Qi is blocking his little wife's view! He didn't see her!"
"What? You didn't see it??"
"What the heck? I didn't see it. Waaah, I'm destined to have a sleepless night. I'm heartbroken because I'm dumped and I can't even see what my rival looks like."
"I've decided, I'm going to ambush Professor Qi tomorrow!"
