Chapter 119: Phone Call
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You can get to know my wife through her fan channels. You don’t have to get to know her through me.” Lu Zhao gave Chen Lin a disinterested once-over.
“Mr. Lu, you really live up to your reputation of protecting your wife,” Chen Lin said with a smile.
Chen Lin and Sirius exchanged a look.
Chen Lin stopped asking questions about Luo Ying. They continued to drink.
After three rounds of drinking, Wen Du went out to take a phone call. He soon excused himself and left.
Lu Zhao and Chen Lin remained in the private room. Chen Lin smiled. “Mr. Lu, you’re such a steadfast leader, but you’re so gentle to your wife.”
“It has nothing to do with you, right?” Lu Zhao did not want to engage in conversation and responded lazily.
Chen Lin wasn’t discouraged by Lu Zhao’s attitude. She poured the wine into her glass and raised it in front of Lu Zhao.
“To be honest, I’ve always admired you, but you already have a wife now. I’m afraid that what I’m saying now might make you feel uncomfortable.” Chen Lin’s eyes were gentle. She looked like an innocent, awestruck fangirl.
“Then you don’t have to say anymore,” Lu Zhao replied coldly.
What kind of people were under Wen Du’s employ? He would have to talk to Wen Du about this.
Chen Lin persevered and continued to hand the wine glass forward. Lu Zhao was losing his patience and reached out to knock over the wineglass in her hand.
The wine spilled all over the floor. Lu Zhao’s pants were stained with the wine.
“I’m really sorry. I’ll help you wipe it now.” Chen Lin’s face was red as she reached out to wipe Lu Zhao’s body with a napkin.
Lu Zhao smacked her hand away almost instantly, stood up, and strode out of the room.
As soon as he opened the door, he ran into Sirius, who had just returned.
“Don’t you want to drink a little longer?” asked Sirius.
“No need. We’re going back to the hotel now,” Lu Zhao snapped irritably. He stood up and strode out the door.
Sirius sighed and frowned as she looked at Chen Lin, who seemed a little defeated.
It seemed that this matter was not as simple as he had imagined.
Back at the hotel, Lu Zhao felt dizzy and wanted to rest for a while before replying to Luo Ying’s message. He didn’t expect to fall into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.
Luo Ying was reading her script at home.
After reading for a long time, she grew frustrated. She threw the script on the bed and started to look at her phone.
Her chat history with Lu Zhao had stopped at ten minutes ago. She had acted coquettishly and asked Lu Zhao to buy some snacks from where he was on a business trip.
Lu Zhao didn’t reply.
Didn’t he say that he would return to the hotel after drinking tonight? Why hadn’t he replied to her message yet?
Luo Ying sent another message to Lu Zhao.
[Why aren’t you replying to me?]
[Still not back?]
[What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to bring me some snacks?]
Just as Luo Ying was about to make a call, an unfamiliar number called.
“Hello, Ms. Luo. We’re from the TV station and would like to interview you…”
Luo Ying started to focus on her work and listened intently to the TV station’s questions.
Meanwhile, on Lu Zhao’s end, he was anxiously calling out for Luo Ying.
Lu Zhao had a fever and was talking nonsense on the bed with his eyes closed. The doctor had already come and said that there was no big problem.
Sirius and Wen Du were taking care of Lu Zhao.
When Luo Ying finished the call and called Lu Zhao again, his phone was already turned off.
Luo Ying looked at the phone in confusion. Did he fall asleep because he was too tired? The two of them had agreed to call each other before going to bed.
When Lu Zhao woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Lu Zhao sat up and looked at Sirius in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
As soon as he sat up, he felt weak all over.
“You had a fever yesterday. Wen Du, Chen Lin and myself took care of you.” Sirius’ face darkened. but you kept calling Luo Ying’s name in your dream. I called Luo Ying, but she didn’t answer the phone.”
“What did you say? You called Luo Ying?” Lu Zhao stood up and stared at Sirius.
Sirius felt a chill run down his spine.
“I think she needs to know that you’re seriously ill.. Otherwise, what’s the point of you two being a married couple?”
