Chapter 398: It Was Very Uncomfortable When Talking to the Man on the Phone
Gu Yan glanced at the vibrating phone and asked Shi Yan, “Who was calling? Don’t tell me it’s Grandma. She’ll be worried if she finds out.”
Because the old madam had a heart attack, it would be over if she got anxious in a hurry.
“It’s not the old madam, it’s Qin Shu.” Shi Yan picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. He didn’t know if he should answer it.
Gu Yan sighed when he heard that it was Qin Shu. Fu Tingyu didn’t want Qin Shu to know that the poison in his body was spreading, and he didn’t want Qin Shu to know about his illness either.
Moreover, he was still unconscious, and he didn’t want Qin Shu to know about it.
Shi Yan knew it.
“He’s unconscious now, and he can’t pick up the phone.”
What Gu Yan meant was, only Shi Yan can pick up the phone. It’s up to him to decide what to say.
Shi Yan held his phone and this made him difficult.
Why did he have to do such a difficult thing?
Shi Yan picked up the phone reluctantly and heard a very gentle voice.
“Are you still angry?”
Qin Shuwen was very careful.
After she took a shower, she couldn’t wait to call Fu Tingyu. He left in a hurry today and it was too unexpected. If she didn’t call him, she wouldn’t feel at ease as she needs to enter the mountain tomorrow.
“Young madam, it’s me, Shi Yan.” Shi Yan wiped his sweat secretly.
When she heard that it was Shi Yan, Qin Shu changed her tone. “Why is it you? Where is he?”
Her tone changed so quickly…
Shi Yan replied, “The Fourth Master is busy.”
Qin Shu felt that something was wrong. It was ten o’clock at night. Even if a man was busy, he would still be in his study room. His phone should be by his side at night. Why was it Shi Yan who picked up the call?
“Then pass him the phone. I want to talk to him.”
Shi Yan glanced at the unconscious fourth master on the bed. He wished that the fourth Master could wake up at this time.
“There are many things to deal with in the company. The fourth Master is very busy. Why don’t you call again tomorrow?” Shi Yan said in a deliberative tone.
Qin Shu knew that Shi Yan’s words were an excuse the moment she heard them.
Today, Fu Tingyu suddenly left without saying goodbye. Then, he sent a message saying that he went back. This didn’t seem like his style.
The only thing that made sense was that the man was angry, and he was so angry that he didn’t even want to pick up her call.
She recalled when he slammed the door and left, he must have been so angry that he chose to leave.
She pursed her lips. “Is he not willing to answer my calls?”
Shi Yan also felt that his excuse was a little lame. Hearing Qin Shu’s question, he vaguely guessed that the fourth master did not seem to be having a good time with Qin Shu when he went to the capital this time.
He personally witnessed the fourth master leave in excitement and even brought a prepared gift.
The first thing Qin Shu said was to ask if the fourth Master was still angry?
Shi Yan followed Qin Shu’s words and replied with a “Yes.”.
“Pass him the phone and say that I have something to say.”
“Young Madam, aren’t you making things difficult for me?”
What Shi Yan meant was, she knew that the fourth master didn’t want to pick up the phone, yet she still wanted him to give it to Fu?
“I’m making things difficult for you. Who asked you to have the phone in your hand?” Qin Shu said righteously.
Shi Yan, … I… It’s too difficult.
Qin Shu became fierce when she didn’t get an answer from Shi Yan. “Are you going to give it to him?”
“Young Madam, … I’m really in a difficult position.” Shi Yan wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
“It’s fine if you don’t give it to him.”
Shi Yan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this
“Then put the phone by his ear.”
Shi Yan glanced at the Fourth Master, who was still unconscious on the bed. He was in a difficult position.
“What if the Fourth Master threw away his phone?” Shi Yan asked carefully.
Qin Shu was stunned. She recalled that he did have the habit of throwing away his phones. Did he really don’t want to listen to her If he threw away his phone this time?
“Then you turn on the speaker and put it on the desk. Wait for him to throw it away.”
Shi Yan had big trouble as he faced Qin Shu’s persistence. If he didn’t do this, Qin Shu would not be giving up.
“Shall I give it a try?”
Shi Yan took a step forward and looked at the unconscious Fourth Master. He bent down and placed his phone next to the pillow, pressing it against the Fourth Master’s ear.
He didn’t turn on the speaker and let Qin Shu talk to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master couldn’t answer.
Shi Yan put down his phone and retreated to the side, not saying another word.
Gu Yan roughly understood what Shi Yan meant when he heard his conversation with her. Was Fu Tingyu and Qin Shu quarrelling again?
It was said that when a couple was apart they loved each other more than when they first got married. How did they get into a fight?
Fu Tingyu was unconscious, and Gu Yan was single. He had never been in a relationship before, so he did not know what kind of conflict would happen between the couple. He glanced at the phone by the bedside, stood up, and walked out.
As soon as Gu Yan left, Shi Yan felt a little awkward. Looking at the unconscious fourth master and the phone by the pillow, he thought for a moment, then left as well. Before he left, he closed the bedroom door.
Qin Shu, who was on the other end of the phone, waited for a while but didn’t hear anything. It wasn’t until she heard the sound of the door closing that she guessed that Shi Yan had left.
That meant that Shi Yan had placed the phone on the desk.
Initially, she had a lot to say, but when she was about to open her mouth, she realized that many words she had said seemed powerless.
“I know that you’re still angry, and you don’t even want to pick up my call. I hope that you can hear me out. “You came to the capital to see me, and you suddenly appeared in front of me. I’m really surprised and happy. “You asked me if I liked you kissing me. Of course, I like it…”
The last sentence was slightly lower in volume, but every word was clear.
The man lying on the bed was pale. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his long eyelashes gently trembled a few times. Through the phone, Qin Shu could not see the man’s expression. The man did not speak, and she could not tell from his tone whether he had calmed down or not.
“It’s not that I didn’t agree to go back to JiangCheng with you. It’s not that I don’t love you. You shouldn’t question my feelings for you, right? The person I love is you, and I won’t leave you. We agreed that we would grow old together, and no one is allowed to go back on their word.”
After Qin Shu finished speaking, she waited for a while.
There was no sound in her ears. It was so quiet that it made her panic. It was as if she was talking in thin air, and there was no one on the other side of the phone.
She waited for a while, but she did not hear the man’s reply. Her heart was stuffy and uncomfortable. She sniffed. “Wait for me. I’ll be back in JiangCheng in a few days. You should rest early. Don’t be too tired.”
After she finished speaking, she did not hang up in a hurry. She held the phone as if she was waiting for the man’s reaction.
She waited for a long time, but she did not hear the man speak. There was not even one simple response.
There was still no sound in her ears.
Qin Shu felt that her heart was stifled and bitter, but she couldn’t vent it out. It was so uncomfortable that she felt suffocated.
She put down the hand that was holding the phone and looked at the screen that showed that the call was still going on. After hesitating for a few seconds, she pressed the button to hang up.
She looked at the time. It was already past eleven o’clock. She had to rest early and rest well as she had to go into the mountain tomorrow. Only then she would have the energy to look for medicinal herbs when she enters the mountain tomorrow.
