Chapter 1318. Wasting effort in vain

Chapter 1318: 1318. Wasting effort in vain

The person on the other end of the phone hadn’t even opened their mouth yet when Qiao Xu eagerly spoke first.

She was afraid that if she was a bit slower, the phone would be hung up.

But before she could finish speaking, she heard a muffled, low laughter coming from the other end of the line.

The smile on Qiao Xu’s face came to a sudden stop.

"Little Xuxu, are you surprised?"

Qiao Xu’s face instantly darkened.

Finally, she understood why no servant had tried to stop her when she was making the phone call.

She had naively thought that Bai Yu had experienced a change of heart and decided to let her go.

"Bai Yu?"

"Yes, it’s me."

The muffled laughter continued to come from the other end of the phone, accompanied by the occasional sound of a car horn, he must be in a car at this moment.

But she had clearly called Mo Qing’s mobile number just now, so why was he the one who picked up?

Qiao Xu glanced at the fixed telephone’s display screen, confirming that she had dialed the correct number.

She furrowed her brows, only to hear Bai Yu’s low laughter coming from the other end of the phone:

"Are you curious why it’s me who picked up the phone?"

Qiao Xu kept her face straight and didn’t respond, but Bai Yu didn’t wait for her to speak, continuing:

"I was worried that Little Xuxu would take advantage of my absence to call other wild men, so before I left, I did something to the phone. Isn’t that amazing?"

Amazing...what a joke!

Qiao Xu gritted her teeth in anger.

What did he mean by calling wild men?

Who did he think he was to her?

Qiao Xu didn’t want to bother asking him how he could be so shameless and intrusive.

Knowing that it was impossible to reason with him, she simply asked:

"When are you coming back?"

"Hmm?"

Bai Yu’s voice rose slightly, "Is Little Xuxu missing me? Wait for me, I’ll be home soon."

Qiao Xu didn’t want to engage in a war of words with him, so she just hung up the phone directly.

Not giving up, she picked up the phone again and dialed Qiao Family’s old Master’s number, only to find that Bai Yu was still the one answering, as expected.

Qiao Xu: "..."

A few soft laughs came from the other end of the phone, "Little Xuxu, don’t waste your energy. Any call made from the Bai Family will end up reaching me."

Qiao Xu angrily hung up the phone.

On Bai Yu’s end, he looked at the hung-up phone and chuckled lightly. The next second, he reverted to his previously gloomy appearance.

The housekeeper, who was driving in front, had naturally heard Bai Yu’s conversation with Qiao Xu.

Glancing at Bai Yu’s complicated, melancholic expression through the rearview mirror, his own expression was a mix of distress and helplessness.

Was there really a need for the young master to do this?

It wasn’t like they were elementary school students now, having to tease the person they liked to provoke their displeasure.

Qiao Xu was infuriated by Bai Yu’s rogue behavior.

If it were someone else, she could say some harsh words to make them angry, even to the point of making them ill.

But Bai Yu always responded to her cheerfully and playfully, no matter what she said.

If she tried to argue with him, he would deliberately misunderstand her intentions. After so many times, Qiao Xu felt that getting angry with him was only making herself mad, and it had no effect on Bai Yu.

Feeling somewhat irritated, Qiao Xu left the room after hanging up the phone.

She went to the railing made of Han Baiyu stone, raised her eyes to look into the distance, and tried to alleviate her frustration.

At the same time, she tried to see if she could send any information from here to inform her island master.

But soon after, she was disappointed.

She found out that Bai Yu had bought this entire sea area privately, and he had built walls all around it. No one or any vessel could enter without permission.
