Chapter 2587: 714: Injured

Using mom as a scapegoat. Lu Yinxing noticed Xia Ye’s face was getting thicker and thicker.

Lu Yinxing didn’t want to drag this out.

She directly said, "I’m having dinner with my senior; I’ll be back later."

There seemed to be silence for a few seconds on the other end.

Then Xia Ye’s voice was heard: "I need to talk to you when you get back."

"Can’t you say it over the phone?"

"I can’t explain it over the phone; come back right now."

Lu Yinxing refused to back down.

Because she could sense that Xia Ye didn’t really have anything important, he just wanted her to come back.

Or perhaps he wanted to interrupt her time alone with her senior.

However, Lu Yinxing didn’t dare to dwell on the reason behind this.

Lu Yinxing said, "If you really have something to say, say it now, or I’m hanging up."

With that, Lu Yinxing was about to hang up.

But before Lu Yinxing could hang up, Xia Ye’s cold voice came over again.

Xia Ye said, "Your little neighbor injured his hand cooking."

Lu Yinxing hadn’t yet reacted.

But Xia Ye, after dropping that line, hung up first.

At that moment, Lu Yinxing’s heart sank.

Little neighbor?

Ah Yan?

Ah Yan injured his hand cooking?

But Xia Ye didn’t clarify whether it was a burn or a cut.

So, it turns out something did happen.

Xia Ye called, so it must be quite serious.

What should I do?

Has he been taken to the hospital?

Ah Yan is a tech hacker.

Those hands manipulate the industry’s tides every day.

If the injury is serious, it would be such a shame.

It was Lu Yinxing’s idea to encourage him to learn cooking.

Now it’s really a case of losing more than gaining.

Lu Yinxing was anxious.

She called back, but didn’t expect Xia Ye to not pick up.

This stubborn guy, regardless of the conflicts between them.

Why not answer the phone?

Lu Yinxing couldn’t sit still any longer.

She quickly apologized to Li ZhengKai across from her: "Senior, there’s a bit of a problem at home; I have to rush back now."

Li ZhengKai sensed Lu Yinxing’s urgency.

Her expression changed completely after she took that call.

Li ZhengKai definitely felt something had happened.

But he didn’t know exactly what.

So he asked with concern, "What happened? Do you need my help?"

"No need, but I have to go back to check. Senior, this meal’s on me; I’m really sorry."

Li ZhengKai said, "No worries, we’ll meet again someday."

Lu Yinxing paid the bill and left.

She actually felt quite guilty inside.

Although Li ZhengKai said, "We’ll meet again someday."

Lu Yinxing knew that once she went back to her country, meeting him again would be difficult.

Perhaps they’d never cross paths again in this lifetime.

This was their last meal together, but she couldn’t properly say goodbye.

Lu Yinxing thought of inviting her senior for a meal before returning home to express her apology.

After leaving, Lu Yinxing quickly took a taxi back to the apartment.

Her mind was anxious, like a fire burning inside, rushing back home.

She dashed into the apartment and opened the door swiftly.

Once inside, she saw Xia Ye still lounging on the sofa watching TV.

He seemed quite relaxed.

But his complexion didn’t look great.

He saw Lu Yinxing had returned.

Without saying anything, he glanced at her lightly.

Lu Yinxing glanced around.

She didn’t see Ah Yan anywhere.
