Chapter 2038: Hung Up

Ding Junqi closed his eyes and replied, “My dad has already retired. Feifei has just returned home and shouldn’t have offended anyone. Whoever is behind this must have realized that the media’s attacks are useless against me, so he changed his method. It seems like he’s not that smart after all.”

Le Tian rubbed the ointment onto his back. “Aren’t you the eldest son of your family?”

“I’m allergic to my dad’s company. When I was young, whenever I went there, I’d fall asleep in the elevator. At that time, everyone started to joke that I was probably not suitable to stay at this place. Later on, after everything that my Eldest Uncle stirred up, I couldn’t be bothered by everything else in the company.”

Le Tian grimaced. These rich people and their first-world problems.

After Ding Junqi finished speaking, he turned to look at Le Tian. “Why are you suddenly asking this? Are you afraid that I won’t be able to support you financially in the future?”

Le Tian confirmed that she had just gotten teased!

Le Tian exerted more force and Ding Junqi let out a low growl, “Are you trying to murder your husband?”

Le Tian could not be bothered with him.

“Also, I’m not lying when I said that I’d fall asleep every time I got into the elevator at my father’s company. Next time, I’ll take you there to take a look.” Ding Junqi had forgotten how many years it had been since he visited his father’s company. He simply had no interest in the company, and the elevator had traumatized him.

Le Tian finished off rubbing the medicine on Ding Junqi. Then, she watched him get up and put on his s.h.i.+rt.

“Master Ding, the director’s inviting everyone out for a meal,” someone called from outside.

Ding Junqi responded, put on his jacket, and went out with Le Tian in tow.

When the two of them went out, the staff paused for a moment. “Yo, Miss Le is here too.”

Le Tian laughed awkwardly and went to her room next door.

“Change your clothes and come with me.” Ding Junqi reached out to pull her back, gesturing for her to change her clothes.

The staff, “…”

Could it be that he alone was not well-informed? Did this mean that it was never a scandal between these two, but the truth?

“Why should I go? I want to rest. You can go by yourself.” Le Tian frowned. She did not want to appear in a crowded place with so many people with Ding Junqi.

“You’re my a.s.sistant. You should help me drink, hurry up and change. I’m injured, so I can’t drink.” Ding Junqi lied through his teeth. If he did not want to drink, who dared to force him?

Le Tian shot him a glance before turning around to her room—to get changed!

Ding Junqi looked at the confused staff member and smiled. “Go and tell the director that we’ll be there in a while.”

The worker drifted away. He felt like he had just witnessed something incredible.

The director booked a place downstairs. As Xin Ya was feeling unwell, she did not come down.

Ding Junqi c.o.c.ked his head to the back. “Not feeling well? Wasn’t she fine this afternoon?”

Sis Cat nodded. “When I knocked on the door earlier, she said she wasn’t feeling well and so, she won’t be coming down.”

Ding Junqi took out his phone and phoned Xin Ya. The call got through very quickly.

“Master Ding.”

When Ding Junqi heard the crispness in her voice, he thought that she did not sound unwell at all.

“Sis Cat said that you’re not feeling well. Are you okay?” Ding Junqi sat down next to Le Tian, still on the phone.

“No, no, no. It’s not— it’s not it. I’m just a little dizzy. Perhaps I’ve been soaking in water for too long today. Master Ding, I’m fine,” Xin Ya answered nervously. It was unclear whether it was because her idol had called her or there was something else.

“Okay then, you should rest first. Later, both Sis Cat and you should come to my room. I have something to tell you. It’s mainly…” Beep, beep, beep. Ding Junqi frowned as he stared at the phone that he just got hung up on. How dare this little girl hung up on him so abruptly?
