He had never seen her cry like this before. Perhaps... she genuinely disliked Shen Lingfeng back then.

After a long while, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Who is it?" Xue Mengmeng’s voice was still mixed with a bit of sobbing.

That small voice made his heart feel like it was being fiercely squeezed.

"Shen Lingfeng."

Xue Mengmeng was taken aback by the honesty and forgot to speak.

The call was made to her so quickly, but how did he know?

"Is she okay?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"What do you think?" Xue Mengmeng was a bit speechless. "Turns out you know who I am. Let me tell you, you not only deceived Youyou but also tricked me."

"Where is she? I’ll come to pick her up."

Xue Mengmeng sighed inwardly, it seemed he didn’t care about her being equally deceived.

"I advise you not to come now. She doesn’t want to see you at the moment."

Standing by the window with his phone, Shen Lingfeng frowned tightly, "She’s still not willing to accept this?"

Xue Mengmeng seemed to have walked a bit further, and Gu Ziyou’s cries couldn’t be heard anymore.

She lowered her voice and said, "Isn’t that obvious? You tricked her, she’s not going to be happy. She’s just angry now, but don’t worry, she’ll calm down in a day or two. She’s impulsive like that. But I warn you, once she calms down, you must make it up to her. Otherwise, this will never go away, she will hate you forever."

"Make it up?" he asked back.

"What, you won’t do it? Can’t let go of your pride?" Xue Mengmeng was a bit upset, feeling annoyed, "I know you’re proud and like to keep up appearances, but this is your fault. Do you expect her to cry and then come back to you and admit she’s wrong? If you dare do that, I’ll be the first to not let you off!"

"I don’t mean that." He just thought she wouldn’t forgive him or accept the fact that he was Shen Lingfeng.

"What kind of person Youyou is, even if you haven’t seen her in over a decade, you should still know. No one has ever made her feel so wronged or angry before. You’ve stirred up a hornet’s nest this time! Especially..." Xue Mengmeng ground her teeth, "No especially, I won’t say more! Anyway, I won’t persuade her to just give in. And I can tell you, if you don’t make it up to her, she won’t stay in Hai City. Once she leaves, you won’t get to see her again."

"I understand." He fell silent for a moment, "If you think I can appear in the next few days, I’ll come to pick her up immediately."

"How long that will take, I don’t know." Xue Mengmeng felt like she was worrying herself to death, "Actually, I don’t think this is unforgivable. For example, when I found out you were Shen Lingfeng but pretended not to know me, I felt it was okay, just a bit disloyal, but we aren’t that close anyway. She’s so angry because..."

Forget it, not saying it.

Sometimes, telling such jerks things might just make them smug.

"I know." Shen Lingfeng didn’t say much, "Whenever she’s willing to meet me, I’ll apologize."

"It’s not just about apologizing." Xue Mengmeng hurriedly reminded him.

Shen Lingfeng paused, "Xue Mengmeng, I know what to do, you don’t need to remind me, just take good care of her these two days."

"Tch, you know my name is Xue Mengmeng..."

Xue Mengmeng hung up the phone, and when she came out of the room, she found Gu Ziyou actually eavesdropping at the door.
