Chapter 370: Chapter 370 Did I Just See a Ghost?

Japan.

Xiaoqiao’s mind was increasingly troubled as she thought about it. After hesitating for a long time, she finally made the call to Leng Jing.

The moment Leng Jing saw the incoming call, she quickly canceled it and then rushed to the top floor’s balcony of the building with caution, ensuring there was no one around before redialing.

"Xiaoqiao, what’s the matter?"

"Nothing, just checking to see how you are doing?"

"I’m fine, the work here is almost done. It’s all that damn Shen Letian’s fault. If he wasn’t always getting in the way, I could have been back by now!" Speaking of Shen Letian made Leng Jing’s teeth itch— that guy seemed like he was sent from heaven just to punish her.

"Are you at the company now?" Xiaoqiao asked.

"Yeah, I am! Still working on the design drawings."

"Is Gu Hangshen there?"

"Uh... eh?" Leng Jing, mistaking her meaning, thought Xiaoqiao wanted Gu Hangshen to take the call, so she looked utterly astonished.

"I mean, is Gu Hangshen at the company?"

"Yes, he is! But why are you asking this?"

"He’s there?" Xiaoqiao sounded extremely shocked.

"Yeah."

"Are you sure?"

Leng Jing said blankly, "Of course, I’m sure! If he weren’t here, then did I just see a ghost a moment ago?"

"How could this be..." Xiaoqiao murmured to herself in disbelief.

"Xiaoqiao, what exactly is going on?"

Xiaoqiao quickly explained, "Nothing, just asking!"

"Really?" Leng Jing clearly didn’t believe her.

"Oh, there’s one more thing..." Xiaoqiao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Could you tell me the baby’s name?"

Leng Jing felt even more that Xiaoqiao was off today.

These were questions she would definitely have never asked, yet today she was asking them so out of character.

Had something happened, or was it because she was alone again, starting to let her imagination run wild?

"The baby is called Siqi. Gu Hangshen named him, saying it came from the Analects, ’Upon seeing someone virtuous, one should think of emulating them; upon seeing someone lacking virtue, one should reflect inwardly.’" Out of avoidance for the character "Nian", Leng Jing only mentioned the formal name.

"Siqi..." Xiaoqiao paused for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Nothing’s wrong! Knowing everything is going well for you puts me at ease. Keep it up, Xiao Jing!"

"Wait, Xiaoqiao, tell me, is something wrong? You’re acting strangely today!"

"It’s all good! I recently met a very cute kid and just couldn’t help thinking of the baby, that’s all."

"I see." Leng Jing was still dubious.

"Yeah, don’t worry! I’m hanging up now, bye!"

After hanging up, Xiaoqiao had a baffled look on her face, her mind even more chaotic.

She had almost confirmed that Mr. Ren was Gu Hangshen, just waiting to verify it with Xiao Jing.

But, gathering the courage to ask Xiao Jing, she ended up learning that Gu Hangshen was actually in the country.

That man... really isn’t Gu Hangshen?

Was it all because she subconsciously associated him with Gu Hangshen, wishfully thinking that they were the same person, with strong psychological implications making her feel more and more that they were alike?

My head hurts so much! Completely confused...

"Mommy mommy, why are you hitting your own head?"

The little one who was watering the plants, ran over, looking at her with a curious face.

Xiaoqiao embraced the child in her arms.

Could even the strong sense of kinship she felt towards Xiao Nian also be a delusion from missing her own son too much?

Xiaoqiao wondered if Mr. Ren had arrived at the hospital yet and was about to ask when she realized she didn’t even have his contact information.
