197 He must be alrigh (2/2)

Jin Yue, who heard her scream, came running upstairs. He immediately paused in his tracks when he saw Liling sprawled on the floor, her shirt hugging her body.

''What is going on here? ''

Jin Yue could not help asking. His eyes moved from Xin Yong to Liling and back to Xin Yong.

''She says he's not picking his phone and she won't stop calling until he picks it. I've told her that the phone is switched off but she won't listen.''

Xin Yong explained briefly. Jin Yue looked down at the crying figure for a moment then squatted down beside her.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

''Liling, why are you still crying? I just called his secretary now and he told me that there was an emergency therefore they postponed the trip till tomorrow, he said that Liu Wei's phone is switched off for now since he's in a very important meeting and does not want to be disturbed.''

Jin Yue lied. He understood that the figure crying before him would not stop until something good was said to her; therefore, he cooked up a very interesting lie that minute and told her.

Liling's eyes lit up instantly as she heard what he just said.

''Really? He is okay? Oh my God, he's okay and I've been crying all along! But he should have called to tell me the change of plans if he was not going to return today… oh, now I remember, I switched off my phone earlier today!''

The woman who was crying a while ago started laughing. She quickly rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands and stood up from the ground, still laughing.

Jin Yue sighed triumphantly and stood up also.

''Oh my God, you should not tell him this, okay? And I was crying all these while!''

''Don't worry, your secret is safe with us.''

Xin Yong laughed as she handed her phone back to her.

''Thank you, Let me go take a hot bath. I'll be back in a jiffy.''

Liling smiled and immediately dashed into her room.

As soon as she disappeared into the room, the two faces which were smiling slowly turned into a troubled look.

''Is it true?''

Xin Yong asked after she was sure that Liling could not overhear them.

''What?''

''About the secretary.''

Jin Yue paused for a second then turned to look at her, a sad look on his face. After a moment, he shook his head slowly.

At that moment, Xin Yong understood perfectly what he had done; she need not hear it from his mouth. She walked to him and hugged him around the waists, not wanting to think about the present situation.

They were quiet for a while before Jin Yue spoke up.
