Pulling Qing Muye behind her, Meng Jingwei smiled gently at He Ka Lingchuan, "I appreciate your kindness, but I've already bought a phone."
As she spoke, she gestured to her handbag, which indeed had a phone logo on the packaging.
"You bought one?"
He Ka Lingchuan looked at the packaging bag in Meng Jingwei's hand, a hint of disappointment appearing on his face. His eyes then lit up, "That's even better! Let's exchange contact information."
He strode forward, directly blocking Meng Jingwei's path.
His posture suggested that he wouldn't give up unless Meng Jingwei left her phone number.
A hint of cunning flashed in her clear, expressive eyes, "Since that's the case, I can't refuse such a kind offer."
Meng Jingwei took out the phone she had just bought and handed it to He Ka Lingchuan. He happily took it, entered a phone number, and called his own phone. Only when he heard his phone ring did he return the phone to her with a smile, "Done. With our phone numbers, we're friends now. We'll keep in touch."
As he handed the phone back to Meng Jingwei, He Ka Lingchuan cast a displeased glance at Qing Muye, clearly annoyed with him.
"See you later."
Meng Jingwei took the phone and turned to leave.
Qing Muye retracted his gaze and turned to follow Meng Jingwei.
Walking through the bustling city, Qing Muye finally spoke after they had gone some distance, "Will Master Chen have any objections if you meet him again later?"
Since she had left her number for He Ka Lingchuan, it meant Meng Jingwei would meet him again. Although Qing Muye knew she wanted to gather more information about the Hidden Clan, it didn't mean Old Master Chen would approve.
"He didn't approve of you marrying me either, yet we still got married."
Meng Jingwei made a joke.
The couple exchanged a smile and headed towards the mountain.
Perhaps it was because of the hustle and bustle of the city, but the couple didn't notice the two people hidden in a corner nearby.
"Is He Ka Lingchuan pursuing Meng Jingwei?"
Li Yun'er asked tentatively, looking at the departing He Ka Lingchuan, tilting her head towards Han Junyan beside her.
Han Junyan, his expression indifferent, held a cigarette between his fingers. He took a puff and nodded faintly.
"They've only met a few times, and he likes her so quickly? That's not normal."
She crossed her arms, muttering to herself, a hint of cunning flickering in her eyes.
"Oh dear, Brother Junyan, I... *hiss*... my stomach hurts a little. You go back first, I need to go to the restroom."
Li Yun'er found an excuse and left, not waiting for Han Junyan's agreement.
The man leaning against the wall, smoking, watched Li Yun'er walk away with cold eyes, a deeper chill in their depths.
Her little schemes couldn't possibly escape his sight.
He simply couldn't be bothered to expose them.
Li Yun'er, who considered herself quite intelligent, weaved through the crowd and walked down a street. Unexpectedly, she "accidentally" bumped into someone and fell to the ground, "Oh dear..."
"Who is it? So careless!"
He Ka Lingchuan was still preoccupied with how to charm Meng Jingwei when an inconsiderate person bumped into him, causing him annoyance.
"Sorry, I... I didn't do it on purpose."
Li Yun'er apologized to He Ka Lingchuan in broken Hidden Clan language.
During her time in Country C, she had been forced to learn the Hidden Clan language every day, precisely so she could communicate without barriers once she arrived in the Hidden Clan.
Although her speech was a little clumsy, it didn't hinder communication.
He Ka Lingchuan, hearing the soft voice, glanced down...
But the sight startled him.
When he saw the woman sitting on the ground, his pupils widened, and he immediately bent down to help her up, "Oh dear, Miss Jingwei, I'm truly sorry, I bumped into... No, that's not right."
