Novel website. "Ring ring!"
My phone rang.
Xia Mingyuan glanced at the incoming call and his heart skipped a beat.
That woman!
He tried to control his emotions and answered the phone in a cold tone.
"Hello? Who is it?"
Tang Xinyou held her breath. She had guessed that Xia Mingyuan would delete her number, after all, the two of them had a rather unpleasant falling out back then. However, even though she was mentally prepared, she was still quite taken aback by Xia Mingyuan's cold tone.
However, she quickly stopped being angry and even felt a little smug. She realized that the cold and hateful tone clearly indicated that he knew who was calling. Otherwise, what grudge could he hold against her? This tone meant that even though Xia Mingyuan had deleted her number from his phone book, he still remembered it. In an instant, she felt much more confident to negotiate with him.
"I am Youyou!"
"Which Youyou?"
Faced with Xia Mingyuan's pretense of knowledge, Tang Xinyou grew impatient with playing such childish games with him. "Tang Xinyou!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Xia Mingyuan said in an even colder voice, "What is it? Speak."
"I need to talk to you about something, let's go out and talk!"
"No time! I have to spend time with my girlfriend, not my ex-girlfriend."
"Heh!" Tang Xinyou couldn't help but sneer. Based on her understanding of Xia Mingyuan, if there really was another woman by Xia Mingyuan's side, he would definitely pretend to be exceptionally gentlemanly and elegant. How could he possibly talk about a topic like an ex-girlfriend that would obviously cause a war?
Tang Xinyou was too lazy to expose him, and only said coldly, "Linghu Lan is back."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone. After a long silence, Xia Mingyuan asked incredulously, "Linghu Lan? Are you sure she's back? Isn't she in a vegetative state?"
Mentioning Linghu Lan's name, Xia Mingyuan felt a pang of guilt. Among all his girlfriends, Linghu Lan was the best woman to him besides his mother. If it weren't for her heart condition, she would truly be an ideal wife and mother. Unfortunately, because of her heart condition, he could date her, but he would never marry her.
Xia Mingyuan had vaguely wondered if his message had triggered Linghu Lan's sudden illness. However, he was not one to make things difficult for himself, and he quickly threw away that trace of guilt out of self-preservation. Instead, he felt a sense of relief, thinking that if she had pulled this stunt when he broke up with her in person, he wouldn't have been able to get away with it.
Tang Xinyou continued, "She's recovered. She had heart surgery and is now cured. A few days ago, she spoke in the class group and sent me a message."
"Oh!" Xia Mingyu said coldly, "So what if you're back? What's it to me?"
Tang Xinyou was somewhat annoyed. Although she had thought through Xia Mingyuan's character quite thoroughly over the years, she was still disgusted by their renewed contact. Xia Mingyuan only ever cared about himself. When Linghu Lan was ill, he never thought about how to help her. Instead, when he knew that Linghu Lan's mother was looking for him, he simply disappeared. Such a cold-hearted man—she had once treated him like a treasure, snatching him away from Linghu Lan.
Tang Xinyou suppressed her anger and said, word by word, "Linghu Lan sent me two photos, the ones you foolishly posted back then. Tell me, is it related to you or not!"
Xia Mingyuan was startled. He immediately thought of the two photos of him and Tang Xinyou in bed that he had accidentally posted years ago.
