Chapter 521: Chapter 520: Like a Trashy Woman_1

It was only when Yan Ling returned home that she discovered a message that Qi Yunjue had sent her several hours earlier.

The message was simple, he was reassuring her of his safety and was explaining that the suddenness of the situation had necessitated his abrupt departure. After resolving the matter, he would return home immediately.

After seeing this message from Qi Yunjue, Yan Ling felt somewhat relieved.

But still curious about his sudden trip abroad, she did not hesitate to send a message back to him, asking what exactly had happened?

After sending the message, she waited for a minute or two but received no reply.

Yan Ling’s heart, which had finally settled, started to race again. She quickly made a video call to him.

Time slipped by without any response on the other end.

Just as she was about to end the video request, he suddenly answered.

Upon seeing his dark expression, Yan Ling was startled, immediately sitting up straight.

Noticing her change in demeanor, Qi Yunjue’s tight lips unconsciously softened somewhat, and he apologized in a hoarse voice, "I’m sorry, I was busy and didn’t see your message..."

All the while, Assistant Jin secretly scoffed at his boss’s blatant lies.

He hadn’t missed her message, Lord Qi?

That couldn’t be further from the truth. He had seen the message from his wife, just that he was afraid it wasn’t what he wanted to see, which was why he hadn’t opened it.

Yet he understood that this was not the time to take risks, so he wisely kept quiet and didn’t say anything.

Yan Ling had no idea how dangerous a situation she had nearly caused.

She looked at his somewhat bloodshot eyes and frowned, "Haven’t you been getting enough rest? Why do you look so pale?"

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but after she said that, she felt his expression change.

Assuming he was feeling guilty for leaving suddenly without saying a word to her, Yan Ling quickly clarified, "I didn’t mean to blame you, I’m just concerned that you are working too hard and neglecting your health..."

Qi Yunjue gave her a glance, held back the question he wanted to ask, pinched his brow, composed himself before speaking,

"I know you care about me. I’m pleased to have your concern!"

Uh... why did what he say feel weird?

It was as though she was a terrible woman who had neglected her boyfriend and thrown out a few words of concern only when she remembered him.

Yet, her boyfriend, instead of resenting her for being terrible, was deeply moved by her casual words of kindness.

Remembering how Yuan Bao had blocked Qi Yunjue earlier, Yan Ling was still somewhat ill at ease.

She sneaked a glance at Qi Yunjue’s expressionless face, whispering, "Really? But... why do I feel like you’re not that happy?"

Despite being a bit dense, Yan Ling could tell something was off with Qi Yunjue.

He’s rarely this reserved in front of her unless he’s deliberately holding back his emotions!

Facing her innocent and innocent face, Qi Yunjue could no longer hide his true feelings.

He took a deep breath and said gloomily, "I am not that happy!"

"Why?" Yan Ling asked.

Qi Yunjue hesitated for a few seconds before finally admitting, fatigue in his voice, "Jealous."

Jealous?

Jealous of what?

Yan Ling was a bit stunned. She hadn’t been particularly close with any man recently.

Oh, wait.

Seems there had been!

Thinking of Xiao Yun and Nangong Que, one who spent two hundred million on her, the other an ’old acquaintance’ she had reunited with, Yan Ling couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Although she had nothing with either of them.

But from an outsider’s viewpoint, she had indeed acted like a terrible woman, ignoring her boyfriend and flirting ambiguously with other men!
