Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 541: Chat Next Time

After An Yin and Shi Qing came out of the hospital, they walked along the roadside towards the bus stop.

Both of them had heavy hearts, their eyes vacant as they looked down at the road beneath their feet.

As the honking on the roadside rang, An Yin was brought back to reality, she bashfully glanced at the person beside her, "Shi Qing, thank you for today."

"Hmm." Shi Qing responded with a sound.

Just then, An Yin’s phone vibrated. She took her phone out of her pocket, and upon seeing the name she had saved it under, she quickly answered, "Hello!"

After speaking, she remembered something very important—she hadn’t masked her voice while speaking! Would the other person suspect her? As An Yin was overwhelmed with thoughts, there was a pause on the other end before the voice spoke.

"What’s wrong? Got a cold?" The man’s voice on the other end was steady, with a hint of concern in his words.

"No, no." An Yin lowered her head, muttering softly with a strained voice, "I have something to do now, let’s talk next time." Before the other party could respond, An Yin urgently hung up the phone.

After the call, An Yin noticed Shi Qing looking at her, and she felt a pang of guilt, unsure how to explain her strange behavior.

Shi Qing merely glanced at her without saying anything.

Seeing that he wasn’t asking, An Yin didn’t bother to explain either. She thought to herself: If I have to speak with a masked voice in the future, I must do it secretly. It’s so embarrassing to be heard by someone who knows me!

On their way back to school, they chatted a little about their studies.

Shi Qing didn’t return to the dormitory with her, heading straight towards the teaching building instead.

Instead, An Yin returned to the dorm by herself. She made a phone call to Ms. An, where they exchanged pleasantries before An Ying inquired about her daughter’s life. They chatted for a while before ending the call.

Next, An Yin thought about Bao Shaojin.

The reason she could get away so quickly today was all because of him.

She quickly scrolled to the man’s name in her contacts and, after some hesitation, dialed his number.

As the simple "beep, beep..." sounded, An Yin’s heart inexplicably tightened.

"What’s up?" The man’s magnetically deep voice came through, carrying a hint of weariness.

An Yin suddenly remembered Assistant Lin’s words, he said Bao Shaojin was abroad, so at this time, he must be resting. To verify her thoughts, An Yin tremulously asked, "Are you asleep?"

"Hmm?" The man hummed lightly, followed by the sound of swallowing, as if he was drinking water.

"Sorry to bother you, I’ll call back next time..."

"An Yin, try hanging up."

Before An Yin could finish speaking, the man’s domineering voice interjected.

An Yin trembled all over. Even though the man wasn’t standing in front of her, she was frightened of him from the bottom of her heart, "I’m not hanging up." She muttered softly.

The other side was silent for a few seconds before he asked, "Did you call for something?"

"No, nothing." An Yin denied, speaking so quickly that she bit her own tongue.

The man seemed used to her muffled behavior. On hearing the sound of inhalation on her end, he sat up in the darkness, leaning against the headboard, and asked in a mellow voice, "What’s the matter?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"It’s nothing." An Yin wouldn’t admit she bit her tongue even if she died.

After she finished speaking, there was silence on the man’s end for a while.

An Yin lay on her bed, occasionally hearing girls’ laughter and sometimes ghostly wails of song from outside. The soundproofing in the girls’ dormitory was really poor; if the noise from next door was any louder, she could hear it all.

In contrast, on the man’s side, there was absolute silence.

Adjusting her mood, An Yin asked what was on her mind, "How did you know about today’s incident?" She didn’t specify which thing, but she was confident the man understood what she was referring to.

"Elder Fu mentioned it to me." Bao Shaojin did not hide it from her.

Hearing the man mention Elder Fu, An Yin pondered for a moment, then remembered the doctor she met in the hospital... Could it be that this doctor informed Elder Fu?

In fact, An Yin’s guess was absolutely correct.

However, at this point, dwelling on this matter had no meaning. An Yin said awkwardly, "Thank you for your help today."

When the young girl spoke, her voice was sweet, which was a fatal allure to the man in the dead of night.

"Did you call just to say this?"

When the man spoke, the tone of his voice lingered a bit, giving off a distant and prolonged feeling.

An Yin bit her lip, as if a little deer was running wild in her heart, making her feel jittery inside. Realizing the silence between them, An Yin muttered, "Yes."

"Heh..."

A soft sneer escaped the man’s lips.

An Yin’s heart immediately tightened, her mind went blank, completely at a loss for words.

When talking with the man, she would become nervous and excited. She clearly wanted to say more to him, but when it came to speaking with him, she would forget all the thoughts in her mind.

Could it be that liking someone makes your heart race and leave you senseless?

Their conversation lasted only a few minutes, and most of the time, they were silent.

After hanging up, An Yin calmed her restless feelings. She felt as if the man wanted to say something before hanging up, but in the end, it came to nothing.

Oh well.

***

Su Jianteng had been having a terrible time lately.

Ever since Mrs. Su issued her final ultimatum, demanding Yanyan get rid of the child, Su Jianteng spent a long time coaxing Yanyan and finally convinced her. After Yanyan had the baby removed, to make it up to her, he stayed by her side continuously.

When he delivered this news to his wife, he was met with nothing but sneers and ridicule.

Later, when Yanyan got discharged from the hospital, Su Jianteng hurried home to have a showdown with Mrs. Su. Their conversation was all about the "Jianjia Alley" project, but Mrs. Su avoided the topic, and Su Jianteng suppressed the anger inside him, trying his best to please her, only to get a perfunctory, "Don’t worry, I’ll talk to my sister."

After that, the matter sank like a stone in the sea, with no response at all.

Su Jianteng grew increasingly restless. Initially, he wanted to leverage this project to make a name for himself in T City, but now, looking at his wife’s attitude, his heart grew colder and colder.

What frustrated him even more was that not only did he not secure the project, but Yanyan’s baby was also gone...

That day, after socializing outside, Su Jianteng returned home, completely intoxicated, supported by the driver.

Seeing the brilliant lights in the hall, a slender figure suddenly appeared in his mind, a woman with exquisite features whose brows carried a hint of melancholy, and her elegant, curvaceous waist was something to be coveted. Just a glimpse of her unique face lingered in Su Jianteng’s mind.
