After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 221: Chapter 222: Scandalous Male Lead [13]

Scandal’s Male Lead[13]

If Yu Tong found out about this, she would definitely blame herself immensely, and with Leng Zimo’s arrival, Luo Xiaoqian didn’t want to tell anyone the truth either.

Just then, Xu Xia came out with the washed fruit, and Yu Tong didn’t continue the topic.

Luo Xiaoqian took the apple that Xu Xia handed her and took a gentle bite.

Because she had been extremely panicked at the time, she didn’t quite understand what exactly Leng Zimo had done.

Now, after hearing the news that Yu Tong mentioned, she finally realized. That night, Leng Zimo was fuming with rage.

This man, he was willing to kill for her!

”What are you thinking about?” Xu Xia saw her biting the apple and staring off, and gently nudged her arm.

Luo Xiaoqian snapped back to reality and gave her a quick smile, ”It’s nothing.”

The phone rang on the table.

Yu Tong hurried over to pass it to her.

Xu Xia eyed the 5S that Yu Tong brought over to her, ”Wow, you’ve upgraded your artillery! Being a star sure is different, you’ve even got the gold one!”

”Knock it off!” Luo Xiaoqian took the phone and, recognizing the somewhat familiar number, immediately answered, ”Hello?”

”Xiao Qian, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to cause you trouble!” On the other end of the line, a lazy voice tinged with a hint of apology said, ”I sent you a little surprise. I’ll come to see you in person later!”

”Are you... Jiao Yang?” Luo Xiaoqian’s tone was one of surprise.

”No way, you can’t recognize my voice, and you haven’t even saved my number?” Jiao Yang’s tone was extremely exaggerated over the phone, ”I’m so heartbroken!”

Luo Xiaoqian was somewhat at a loss for words, ”No, I got a new phone...”

Jiao Yang burst into laughter, ”That explains it, I was wondering. How could you not save my number? After all, we’ve been caught up in a scandal together!”

A scandal?

With him?!

Luo Xiaoqian was utterly confused, ”What scandal?”

”I have a meeting to go to, we’ll talk when we meet!”

On the other end, Jiao Yang said goodbye and hung up before she could respond.

”Was that Jiao Yang’s call?” Xu Xia leaned over, looking at the number disappearing from her screen, ”Xiao Qian, you better come clean with me. How did you hook up with the new president of the Asia Pacific Region of Asia View Group?”

”Stop messing around!” Luo Xiaoqian glared at her, ”Out with it, what’s this scandal all about, how come I don’t know anything?”

”Keep playing dumb!” Xu Xia pulled an iPad out of her bag, loaded the news, and pointed at the photo, ”There, irrefutable evidence. Don’t tell me that’s not you—that’s your twin sister!”

Luo Xiaoqian glanced at the photo, her gaze falling onto the content of the news article.

”Luo Xiaoqian sneaks a meeting with the Asia View president, the two hugging and laughing intimately...”

”It wasn’t like that, we just had a meal!”

Luo Xiaoqian felt like crying but had no tears. How did a simple fall and being helped up turn into ”hugging and laughing intimately”?!

”A meal?!” Xu Xia said with a mischievous smile, ”Is there some romance there, hmm?”

As she was pressing for answers, Luo Xiaoqian’s phone rang again, this time it was the production team of ”Huaxia Idol” calling her to attend an event. Xu Xia reminded Luo Xiaoqian to rest well and rushed off with her half-eaten apple.

After Xu Xia left, Yu Tong stayed for a while, but Luo Xiaoqian convinced her to go take care of her mother.

”I have a Special Guardian here, you should go take care of your mother. The album release has been delayed anyway, and there isn’t much work these next couple of days!”
