Chapter 817 Hiding It From Him
"Nothing..." Li Jinxing then withdrew his gaze and answered as if nothing had happened.
Li Yaofeng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtfully at Li Jinxing's uneasy expression, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong, you were just looking at your phone and fidgeting, there must be something wrong!"
He frowned and wondered, "Did something happen to Nie Yao?"
Li Jinxing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "It's okay, what could happen to her?"
"If she's fine, you wouldn't react like this!" Li Yaofeng shook his head and said thoughtfully, "Tell me the truth, big brother, what happened between you and Nie Yao? Did you have a fight?"
"We are fine, big brother, don't worry..." Li Yaofeng answered calmly, not wanting his big brother to notice anything.
He didn't want to tell his eldest brother about his relationship with Nie Yao for the time being. Maybe it was just because he still had a little fantasy in his heart, or maybe... he just didn't want to see their eldest brother get hurt!
After all, it was the eldest brother who insisted on the engagement. If he knew that their engagement was just a joke and that Nie Yao had said such hurtful words in person and even wanted to return the engagement ring to him, he would definitely be deeply shocked!
"Jinxing, what are you hiding from me?"
Li Yaofeng sat in a wheelchair, looking up at Li Jinxing's eyes, staring at him sharply, and asked coldly: "If there was no quarrel, why did you suddenly come back from Egypt?"
"Brother, didn't I explain to you before that the cultural relics have been successfully handed over to Egypt? There's nothing for me to do there, so why not just come back? The company still has so much to deal with, how can you handle it all by yourself?"
Li Jinxing's answer was flawless, but Li Yaofeng still felt there was something wrong.
"If that's the case, why haven't I seen Nie Yao call you since you came back?" Li Yaofeng narrowed his eyes and said in a faint voice, "You two have only been engaged for a short time, and this is the time when your relationship is so sweet!"
"She's already started an archaeological excavation. The signal is bad, and it's not suitable for contacting the outside world. Is it strange that she doesn't have a phone?"
Li Jinxing forced a smile and made up a lie to explain to his elder brother.
Fortunately, his elder brother did not ask any further questions, which made him feel a little relieved.
It was not until he personally sent his elder brother out of the office that Li Jinxing sat back at his desk with a wry smile. He picked up his phone and took another look. Steve had not sent any more messages.
Maybe it was because I saw his rude answer and was angered by his attitude!
Li Jinxing took a sip of coffee and found it more bitter than ever before...
He really wanted to call Nie Yao and ask her how she got injured, how severe the injury on her palm was, and whether it had been properly bandaged...
But every time he picked up the phone and swiped to the contact page, he didn't press it!
She had said such cruel words before, and even if he called her now, she probably wouldn't answer!
She just wanted him to leave, and he left her sight as she wished!
Li Jinxing put down his phone and couldn't help but laugh at himself when he thought of what Steve said. He was obviously going to return the engagement ring to him, so why bother to go to so much trouble to find it after he threw it away?
Wasn't it enough that she was acting in front of him, and she had to continue acting in front of her junior?
Acting?... Li Jinxing, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes abruptly, and a sharp light shot out of his eyes.
