Chapter 131: Acciden (2/2)
Of course, the proffered sweet was gone, as he hadn’t forgotten to grab it before he ran away.
Cheng Xi stared open-mouthed as she stared at Lu Chengming’s back, which was moving farther and farther away by the second. She slowly shook her head as she retracted the still-extended hand.
Later, when Cheng Xi was going home, she called Cheng Yang and asked him, “How much do you know about Lu Chenzhou’s brother?”
She had just tossed this question out casually because she felt that Lu Chenming was seriously too shy and a bit strange. But unexpectedly, her brother anxiously responded, “Why are you asking about him all of a sudden?”
Well attuned to her brother’s moods, Cheng Xi quickly noticed that something was amiss and instead of replying, she asked, “Why are you so nervous?” She frowned before suspiciously asking, “You didn’t do anything to him, did you?”
Cheng Yang’s side was silent. “……”
A long silence.
Cheng Xi had to repeat “Hello?” a few times before Cheng Yang eventually said, “Huh? I was busy just now. What did you say just now?”
The siblings knew each other too well after spending so many years together, and his reaction was so natural that even though Cheng Xi was suspicious, it gave her no hint as to what had happened between him and Lu Chenming. Thus, she just asked the question again.
“I didn’t discover anything. That fellow’s even harder to get close to than his brother. He’s too shy, and it’s nearly impossible to get anything out of him.”
Cheng Xi was a bit surprised. “You actually managed to get some information about him? Then what about Lu Chenzhou? Do you know anything about him?”
Cheng Yang chuckled wryly. “You’re investigating your own boyfriend? Don’t worry. He doesn’t care for alcohol, women, or wealth. In fact, the only thing he does is play cards on the side. Even then, he always plays with the same group of people, and he usually doesn’t play with strangers. From the standards you women look at men with, he’s fine. But in my opinion, he’s a bit too boring, though he does fit your personality.”
Cheng Xi ignored the last derogatory remark, and was actually very impressed that her brother had found out so much. She was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Shen Wei, so Cheng Xi said, “Alright, I’ll talk to you more later.”
And then she hung up and answered Shen Wei’s call.
Shen Wei had recently moved back in with Fu Mingyi, and Cheng Xi had visited her there twice. Besides her intense reaction to her pregnancy, her other problems seemed to be gradually improving, and Shen Wei herself seemed to have calmed down greatly. Thus, Cheng Xi had slowly lowered her guard.
Because the two had been conversing quite regularly recently, Cheng Xi didn’t think much of the call. When it connected, Shen Wei’s voice was as calm as ever. She insipidly asked, “Cheng Xi, can you do me a small favor?”
“What is it?”
“Fu Mingyi arranged a meeting with Gong Hengjin at Donglai Hotel, and I want to know which room they’re in. Can you ask Lu Chenzhou to help?”
“……”
