She burst out: "Huang Xiaojue, what on earth are you doing? Why aren’t you answering the phone?"
Huang Xiaojue was startled: "..."
He said slowly, "What’s wrong?"
In Zhou Ting’s mind, a million grass mud horses surged by. What’s wrong indeed?
"Why aren’t you speaking? What urgent matter do you have that you can’t answer the phone? Do you think I don’t know you went chasing after Yan Xixi?? Why are you chasing her? Still can’t let go? Huang Xiaojue, she loves Wan Donglin, not you anymore. In her eyes, you’re nothing. How can you be so shameless? Do you have no self-respect?"
...
But, this torrent of insults was only in her mind, Zhou Ting ultimately didn’t say it out loud.
She didn’t dare.
At this stage, she still didn’t dare act recklessly arrogant in front of Huang Xiaojue. If she chased him away, she’d only lose a valuable tool...
Even though that "gift" in her palm tormented her all day, making her restless, she restrained herself—since childhood, what big scenes hasn’t she witnessed? Yan Xixi, do you think you can scare me with just this?
She forced herself to stay calm: "Come pick me up right away."
"I’m almost there. Come out."
As she stepped outside, Huang Xiaojue’s car had just parked.
Zhou Ting got in the car, clutching her forehead tightly: "To the meeting room."
Huang Xiaojue glanced at her, the car accelerated.
The two remained silent on the way.
Zhou Ting’s mind was in turmoil, she wanted to find someone to have a fierce argument with. But every time she opened her mouth, she closed it again, because she noticed that Huang Xiaojue looked particularly unpleasant.
She wasn’t someone who caused trouble without reason, but the "mysterious gift" she received almost drove her to the brink of collapse.
"Xiaojue..."
He was indifferent.
She couldn’t stand it any longer: "Huang Xiaojue, aren’t you going to ask what ’big gift’ Yan Xixi gave us?"
Huang Xiaojue focused on driving. It was dim in winter, traffic was congested, and the car moved at a snail’s pace. He was indifferent: "If you wanted me to know, wouldn’t you have told me?"
Zhou Ting glared at him fiercely, but then closed her eyes in dismay.
Of course, she wouldn’t tell him.
But today, no matter how she looked at Huang Xiaojue, she felt displeased, whether it was his silence or the scarf he was wearing today... She couldn’t understand why he was always wearing this scarf.
"Huang Xiaojue, do you really like this scarf?"
"..."
"What does it mean to wear it every day? Because Yan Xixi gave it to you?"
This was clearly setting the stage for an argument.
Huang Xiaojue felt very impatient inside but forced himself to hold back, "Didn’t you throw all those things away already?"
Zhou Ting let out a cold snort.
"Huang Xiaojue, haven’t you noticed that you’ve been distracted lately? I’ve been entertaining your mother and a whole bunch of your relatives for you, but ever since Yan Xixi showed up, you’ve been out of it. What does this dazed state mean? Are you unable to let go of her?"
Huang Xiaojue looked at her in astonishment.
Suddenly, he remembered a joke.
Question: "If your wife is both headstrong and unreasonable, constantly needing your appeasement. Meanwhile, a gentle and understanding girl falls in love with you. Would you choose to divorce your wife or reject the admirer?"
The best response: "It doesn’t matter who steps up, don’t believe those out of power."
However, he couldn’t laugh.
The green light turned on, and the car sped off. Zhou Ting opened her mouth several times but felt it was futile, so she stayed quiet.
