After leaving the coffee shop, Ni Sitian dialed Xu Tingchuan's cell phone, but no one answered.
The phone remained unanswered until the entire lunch break was over.
In the afternoon, she could barely concentrate on her work. She wondered if it was because Qin Mubei's words had caused Xu Tingchuan to misunderstand, which was why he hadn't been answering her calls.
If there's a real misunderstanding, how should she explain it? Will he believe her explanation?
Ni Sitian was preoccupied with this matter, and accidentally made a mistake at work, resulting in a scolding from her editor.
When everyone else leaves work on time, she still has to reprint the documents.
"Sitian, don't worry about it. Sister Chen is just going through menopause," Ji Xiaoyun patted Ni Sitian's shoulder and comforted her.
"Don't say that. It was indeed my fault, and it was only right that she taught me a lesson." Ni Sitian didn't want to talk about her boss behind her back, so she brushed the matter off lightly.
Ji Xiaoyun pursed her lips and didn't continue the topic. Instead, she moved closer to Ni Sitian and asked tentatively in a low voice, "Do you know President Qin of Qichuang Technology on the sixteenth floor?"
"What?" Ni Sitian didn't react.
"Stop pretending. I saw you two eating together at noon." Ji Xiaoyun had an expression that said, "I know everything."
Ni Sitian then realized that she was talking about Qin Mubei, and her brows furrowed slightly. Qin Mubei also worked in this office building. No wonder he called her down so quickly at noon.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Ji Xiaoyun asked curiously.
"No." Ni Sitian immediately denied it, not wanting to mention Qin Mubei again.
"Could you introduce him to me?" Ji Xiaoyun looked at her expectantly.
Ni Sitian tidied up the printed materials and placed them on Sister Chen's desk, saying to Ji Xiaoyun, "I'm not familiar with him, so there might not be any way."
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang. Thinking it was Xu Tingchuan calling back, she quickly answered it, then slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out of the company.
Ji Xiaoyun watched her retreating figure, bit her lip, and when she looked away, her gaze fell on the document. She quietly picked it up and stuffed it into her bag.
Ni Sitian answered the phone, only to hear Xiang Zhilan's voice, and was greatly disappointed.
"What's wrong? Are you disappointed that it wasn't your husband calling?" Xiang Zhilan teased with a smile.
"No way," Ni Sitian said, forcing a smile.
"How effective are those things I used?" Xiang Zhilan asked directly.
Ni Sitian choked on her own saliva, her face turning red, and stammered, "He went on a business trip."
"Business trips are great! Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and our love is as strong as a thunderbolt."
"I'm getting on the bus, I'm not talking to you anymore." Ni Sitian quickly hung up the phone, afraid that she would say something even more embarrassing.
After getting on the bus and returning home, I continued to call Xu Tingchuan.
This time it's even more outrageous; he actually turned off his phone. Did he really believe Qin Mubei's words?
That shouldn't be the case. He knew she was on her period, so how could she have done that with Qin Mubei? Why would she need to take a bath?
After dinner, Ni Sitian kept making phone calls relentlessly.
It wasn't until around 10 o'clock that the call was connected again, and a soft female voice came from the other end.
"Mr. Xu is drunk. Is there anything you need from him?" Lin Yi'an plugged in Xu Tingchuan's phone to charge, and as soon as he turned it on, he saw a call from Ni Sitian, so he answered it.
Ni Sitian was stunned when he heard the woman's voice. It was so late, he was drunk, and he was in the same room with a beautiful woman...
She suddenly understood how Xu Tingchuan must have felt when he heard Qin Mubei's voice that morning.
