Chapter 85 - Rumor (1/2)

Ling Yue stared at the screen of her cellphone which was vibrating from earlier. He Luo called her for the second time today. Since their last meeting, he had routinely sent texts and chats for her. He Luo needs to travel to develop his business so he didn't even have time to go home or to visit at Xi Jian at the hospital.

”Hello...”

”Hello YueYue, sorry to call you at office hours, are you busy?”

”No, what's up brother?”

”Do you want to have dinner with me? Today I return to City M and ... I want to meet you.” He Luo ventured to say the last part. Ling Yue, who was in a bad mood, didn't pay attention. she said okay and hung up on him. Another call came in again, this time from Ling Huansheng.

”Who are you talking to? I called you and your phone was busy.”

”Why did you call?” Ling Yue did not hide her curt tone. Ling Huansheng stared at his cellphone screen for an instant.

”What is wrong with you?”

”Nothing. If there's nothing important I'll hung—”

”Wait! Don't just decide yourself! I'm in front of your office. Let's have lunch together.” this time Ling Huansheng immediately cut the line without waiting for Ling Yue's response. Ling Yue rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue. This younger brother was really off-limits. She headed for the elevator and found Bai Xu standing in front of it.

They rode the same elevator after exchanging greetings. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Ling Yue's new friends greeted her.

”Do you want to go out for lunch?” one of the female staff asked.

Ling Yue and Bai Xu nodded then looked at each other like 'ohh you too?'

”Looks like the rumors about you guys are true. Well you two really look good together.”

Ling Yue, who had wanted to excuse herselft, halt. ”Rumors? What rumors?” Ling Yue asked.

Bai Xu also looked confused.

”About you two dating.”

”What??”

The two of them said together. Bai Xu felt his back pierced by a thousand nails.

”They say that after seeing you two in the canteen.” she added.

Canteen?

Something flashed across their heads. So back then ... ”I, that's a totally not true!” Bai Xu said nervously. ”I will crack down on anyone who spreads false rumors like that.” Bai Xu then faced Ling Yue. ”Sorry Miss Ling, it seems like that moment caused a misunderstanding.”
