Xu Tao took back his phone and silently gave Jiang Mingxi a thumbs up.
"You're really decisive, aren't you afraid of regretting it?"
After all, he liked Song Lan so much before.
Jiang Mingxi sighed, "Of course I won't regret it. I really find it annoying, but just in case, I deliberately made sure to be firm in my words. Someone like Song Lan, if I make things clear, he definitely won't give me a second chance. That way, I'll back down, and there'll be no use regretting it then."
Xu Tao was speechless for a moment, then after a brief pause, he said, "You're such a clever little devil!"
Jiang Mingxi smiled and said, "No problem, no problem."
Xu Tao:...
Zhao Ke said he helped Jiang Mingxi get an endorsement deal for the SE shirt series, and he got it done for him while they were at the hot pot restaurant.
Zhao Ke went to film it himself.
But filming starts tomorrow, Zhao Ke won't arrive until tomorrow.
As the spokesperson, Jiang Mingxi will head over there today to sign the contract.
Inside the black Bentley.
After hanging up the phone, Song Lan remained silent, his expression so unpleasant that Bai Ge almost couldn't bear to look at him.
They came to Yun City to find Jiang Mingxi, but after all this trouble, they still haven't seen her.
Where do we go now?
Song Lan leaned back in her chair, clearly feeling a sharp, stabbing pain in her chest.
The pain felt like a tiny needle scraping and pricking at his heart.
The person who had been so eager to contact her before was now eager to explain, which is why Song Lan is only now slowly coming to terms with the truth.
When Jiang Mingxi spoke to him just now, her tone was so distant.
In Bridgehead Village, people warmly call him Teacher Song, and even during yesterday's video call, their eyes were still so gentle when they looked at him.
Tell him, "Teacher Song, I love you the most."
Now--
Teacher Song, we're not a good match.
Goodbye, Teacher Song.
Every sentence conveys a sense of detachment and polite distance.
What's this!
Song Lan let out a muffled sigh, "Go find Feng Moshan."
Henghe Building, top floor, CEO's office.
Feng Moshan looked at the person who came in with a curious expression. "What wind has blown the second young master of the Song Corporation to my little temple?"
Song Lan sat down on the sofa in Feng Moshan's office without any expression.
He and Feng Moshan were childhood friends.
He cut to the chase, without any politeness, "Ask Zhao Ke where Jiang Mingxi went."
"Pfft, hahahaha!" Feng Moshan laughed, her laughter filled with sarcasm, and her eyes sparkled.
Song Lan's already ashen face turned even worse after he smiled.
Feng Moshan sat down on the sofa next to Song Lan and jokingly asked, "Didn't you say that your name is Song Lan, that you don't date, and that people shouldn't try to get close to you?"
Song Lan looked at Feng Moshan with an incredulous expression, "You're a CEO, and you're watching live streams?"
Feng Moshan shrugged.
The night Zhao Ke took the photos of Jiang Mingxi, he and Zhao Ke watched the playback together on the bed in the CEO's office suite.
While watching, he asked Zhao Ke who was more handsome, him or Jiang Mingxi.
Tsk~
Feng Moshan casually tossed this dog food (a metaphor for public displays of affection) to Song Lan, this single dog.
"It's because Xiao Ke likes to watch it. What can I do? People with partners watch it together, of course. Unlike Young Master Song, who's always alone and does whatever he wants."
Song Lan was taken aback, but unusually refrained from being sarcastic, replying, "Finished laughing? If you're done, ask her where Jiang Mingxi went."
Feng Moshan leaned forward slightly, a hint of inquisitive interest in his eyes, "Why aren't you at the hospital with Zhang Lin?"
Jiang Mingxi got angry with him because of this, and then left.
Now that Feng Moshan is asking, Song Lan is so annoyed she's about to jump up and fight him.
Feng Moshan was quite pleased with Song Lan's frustrated and agitated state, saying, "Hehe, I would never do something like that."
Song Lan:...
Taking a deep breath, "Where is Jiang Mingxi?"
Feng Moshan hummed in agreement. "That's enough joking around, or some people will explode. I can only say I'll ask Xiao Ke for you, but if Xiao Ke doesn't want to say, I certainly won't force him."
Song Lan waited in silence.
Feng Moshan made a phone call to Zhao Ke.
"Hello?" As soon as the call connected, Zhao Ke's groggy voice came through, clearly indicating that he had been woken up from his sleep.
Feng Moshan glared at Song Lan unhappily, "You even disturbed Xiao Ke's sleep just to find out for you!"
" Xiao Ke, Jiang Mingxi..."
Feng Moshan then uttered the name Jiang Mingxi.
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Ke reacted as if he'd been electrocuted, blurting out, "You're handsome, you're more handsome than him. There's no chance between us. You're the most handsome, please, I won't come. I have work tomorrow."
Song Lan looked at Feng Moshan in shock.
He had a vague feeling that there was something he shouldn't have heard.
Feng Moshan hadn't expected that yesterday's little romantic gesture—running a live stream while chatting with Zhao Ke— would have turned into something quite different...
Zhao Ke reacted so strongly.
Feng Moshan quickly turned off the speakerphone, his cheeks flushed slightly, and coughed awkwardly, "No, Song Lan is with me. I wanted to ask you if you know where Jiang Mingxi went."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ke was wide awake. "Turn your phone on speakerphone."
Feng Moshan glanced at Song Lan, placed his phone on the coffee table, and turned it on speakerphone.
Zhao Ke's voice came through the phone, "What does Teacher Song want with Xiaoxi? It's his birthday today, why didn't Teacher Song come to eat with us? Xiaoxi's birthday cake even has his birthday wish written on it: that Teacher Song will be his boyfriend. I thought this cake was bought especially for Teacher Song."
Song Lan felt as if she had been hit in the chest.
Feng Moshan looked at his childhood friend with some sympathy and added insult to injury, "It was someone's birthday, and they even wrote your name on the cake. You went and took Zhang Lin to the hospital? And you were even photographed carrying Zhang Lin out of the car? You're such a jerk."
After finishing, he added, "I won't do it that way."
Song Lan:...
She couldn't even spare a thought to pay attention to Feng Moshan.
He tried to explain it to Jiang Mingxi, but it was no use.
Song Lan wanted to see him in person right now. "Where is he now?"
Zhao Ke said, " Teacher Song must have asked Xiaoxi, right? Xiaoxi didn't tell you? Then I can't tell you either. I wouldn't betray my friends."
After saying that.
Zhao Ke hung up the phone.
Hehe~
Want to get a wife without putting in any effort?
Then you won't cherish it!
Song Lan looked up at Feng Moshan.
Feng Moshan shrugged. "Don't look at me, it won't do any good. Xiao Ke has very few friends in the industry. The fact that he says Jiang Mingxi is his friend shows that Jiang Mingxi really has a connection with him. I won't force him."
"Furthermore, I'm extending my affection to Jiang Mingxi because Xiao Ke considers her his friend. In that case, I think the responsibility lies entirely with you. You should reflect on your actions."
Song Lan:...
Feng Moshan sighed, "For the sake of our childhood friendship, I'll give you a reminder."
Song Lan lifted her eyelids to look at Feng Moshan.
"If I were you, I wouldn't allow your trending topic and Zhang Lin's trending topic to appear side by side for the same reason, even though Jiang Mingxi is already angry."
