Chapter 794: Chapter 799 Truly Just a Misunderstanding (3)
"Wanqing..."
Ling Chen felt a rush of urgency in his heart and called out Nanrong Wanqing’s name, quickly advancing towards her. Upon getting closer, Ling Chen hurriedly said, "Wanqing, listen to my explanation, I..."
Slap!
Before Ling Chen could finish his sentence, a loud slap had already landed on his cheek.
This scene was caught by Nanrong Hao and Hu Fei, who had hurried over from behind. Both were shocked. They never expected Nanrong Wanqing to slap Ling Chen hard across the face without a hint of mercy.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Nanrong Hao was the first to regain his composure. He looked at Ling Chen, then at his sister, opened his mouth to say something, but Nanrong Wanqing didn’t give him the chance to speak. Before he could utter a word, Nanrong Wanqing, with tears in her eyes, covered her face and rushed out.
Watching the retreating back of Nanrong Wanqing, Ling Chen hurriedly took a few steps to chase after her, wanting to grab Nanrong Wanqing’s hand. However, after running a few steps, Ling Chen stopped.
Nanrong Wanqing was furious; if he went after her now, not only would he be unable to calm Nanrong Wanqing down, but it would also make her even angrier. It would be better to let her cool off for a bit. Thinking this, Ling Chen signaled Nanrong Hao with his eyes and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow her, make sure nothing happens to your sister."
"Oh." Nanrong Hao hurriedly responded and quickly followed after Nanrong Wanqing.
Seeing Nanrong Hao and Nanrong Wanqing disappear from view, Ling Chen couldn’t help but sigh deeply, his face full of helplessness.
"Hey!" At that moment, Hu Fei leaned in close to Ling Chen, asking curiously, "What happened between you and Miss Nanrong? Why would you two have a conflict all of a sudden?"
Ling Chen replied with a wry smile, "Just now, sister Xiyao had a bit to drink in my room, and seeing that she was quite drunk, I let her rest there. After she fell asleep, I went over to your place, but then Wanqing came by. She must have seen sister Xiyao sleeping on my bed, so she misunderstood."
"It’s such a trivial matter, and that’s what caused all this trouble?" Hu Fei said helplessly, "Miss Nanrong really has too little tolerance. It’s not like anything inappropriate happened; why get so angry?" After speaking, Hu Fei turned and walked to the door of Ling Chen’s bedroom, peeking inside.
After one look, Hu Fei was stunned on the spot, his eyes wide open like car lights.
"Fatty... Fatty..." Ling Chen called out twice, seeing Hu Fei’s dazed look, and out of curiosity, walked over.
At the doorway, Ling Chen followed Hu Fei’s gaze into the room, and was immediately stunned by the scene before him.
How could this be? Ling Chen’s expression became blank as he stared at Liu Xiyao on the bed, his mind suddenly in a complete blank. At this moment, he finally understood why Nanrong Wanqing was so furious. Any woman who saw this situation would think the worst.
Oh, no!
Ling Chen couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, looking up to the sky. Liu Xiyao was clearly lying on the bed; how could things have turned out like this?
"Fatty! Fatty!" Ling Chen patted Hu Fei’s head, and finally, he snapped back to reality, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, and asked, "What?"
"Still looking? Aren’t you afraid of getting styes?" Ling Chen scolded lightly, annoyed, "Let’s go, we’ll head back to the office." Saying this, Ling Chen closed the bedroom door, then pushed Hu Fei towards the office.
"Hey! Ling Chen, I didn’t expect that you really had a way with women, managing to hook up with Miss Liu. Tsk tsk! You really enjoy the ladies’ favor. But I’m not going to praise you; having Nanrong Wanqing is already enough, yet you’re still out there flirting around, you’re just too greedy."
After hearing Hu Fei’s constant nagging, Ling Chen raised his fist, giving him a threatening look, and said, "I’ve already said it was a misunderstanding. If you dare to spout nonsense again, do you believe I’ll knock your head off and use it as a ball to kick? Starting now, don’t bring up this matter again, or don’t blame me for being impolite."
"Alright, alright, I won’t talk about it anymore." Hu Fei immediately raised his hands in surrender.
Returning to the office, Ling Chen slumped onto the couch, listlessly pondering how to explain things to Nanrong Wanqing. Just thinking about it killed his mood.
Over an hour passed, and after an anxious wait, Nanrong Hao finally made a phone call.
"Hello! Haozi, how’s your sister doing?"
"Chen, I advise you not to come back these next few days, just stay at the base for a while. Sister is really angry right now. I tried to explain to her, but she wouldn’t listen to a word I said and even kicked me out. Sigh, I’m really out of options. Uhm... Chen, don’t worry too much, I know my sister’s temper the best, it’ll be fine in a few days. Once she calms down, I’ll help you explain everything. Remember, don’t come home for the next few days."
Ling Chen helplessly replied, "Alright then, you stay at home for the next few days, take good care of your sister."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen leaned back against the couch, rubbing his forehead, then stood up and walked over to the computer, looking at Hu Fei busy at work, he said, "I’m going to rest a bit, let me know if there’s any news."
"Got it."
Standing outside the bedroom, Ling Chen hesitated, recalling that Liu Xiyao was still asleep inside. He had already caused a misunderstanding, and if he were to enter now and someone bumped into him, that would look really bad.
After a moment of thought, Ling Chen let go of the doorknob and turned around, intending to make do with Yuan Yun’s room. Just as he walked out a few steps, he suddenly heard a noise from behind him.
Looking back, he saw Liu Xiyao standing at the door. Their eyes met, and Liu Xiyao’s pretty face instantly blushed, as if draped in a layer of rosy clouds. She slightly turned her head away, as if she dared not look directly into Ling Chen’s eyes.
"Uh... are you awake?" Ling Chen opened his mouth, asking.
Liu Xiyao softly nodded, then in a voice as fine as a mosquito’s hum, she asked, "Just now... were you in the room the whole time or..."
Hearing this, Ling Chen immediately understood what Liu Xiyao meant, and quickly responded, "After you fell asleep, I went out, and only just came back."
"Is that so?" Liu Xiyao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her complexion gradually returned to normal.
"Sorry just now, I thought I was in my own room, so I..." Realizing something, Liu Xiyao abruptly stopped herself, saying, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now, I won’t disturb your rest."
After saying that, without waiting for Ling Chen to reply, Liu Xiyao had already left.
Returning to his own room, Ling Chen looked at the bed and couldn’t help but let out a faint smile.
Now he finally understood why Nanrong Wanqing came in and saw that scene; it was all because a drunken Liu Xiyao mistook this place for her own room, and so took off her clothes.
With this thought, Ling Chen couldn’t help but let his mind wander.
Could it be... that Liu Xiyao normally likes to sleep naked?
