Ning Meng’s brain was still a bit fuzzy . Before she could even figure out where she was at that moment, she found herself face-to-face with a colored identification photo . The name of the lady in the photo was Ning Ke, but her birthday was obviously not 1102 .
In fact, the lady in the photo… looked nothing like Ning Meng . To be more precise, she looked nothing like Ning Ke . Completely stunned, Ning Meng could only stare at the photo while still in a daze . Huo Beichen spoke, “That’s right, she is not my ex-girlfriend . I’m not familiar with her . ”
They were not familiar with each other? But she was able to draw a comic? Or had Huo Beichen not seen Ning Ke’s comic drawing before? Ning Meng hesitated, filled with doubt . “Then, why would she lie to me?”
Why would she lie to you?
Because she wanted to chase you away .
Huo Beichen stared at her, his eyes brimming with seriousness . “This was what happened . You…”
Before he could continue, he halted as his eyes landed on her cheeks . Ning Meng’s face did not show a normal pinkish color, and Huo Beichen subconsciously touched her forehead . A high temperature hit his palm, meaning that she had caught a fever .
His face sank and he warmly said, “You’ve got a fever . ”
Standing up, he rummaged through the drawer and found a body thermometer, handing it over to her and walking out to grab some hot water for her . Ning Meng only realized that she was feeling quite dizzy after seeing him become busy .
She had already not been feeling well when she woke up that morning but she had persevered and insisted on going to the fan meet . After suffering that surprising blow at Huo Beichen’s villa, her fever had then become worse when she returned to Yuxiu Garden .
Five minutes later, the thermometer reading showed that her body temperature was 39 degrees Celsius, and Huo Beichen quickly gave Su Ye a call . “Where are you?”
“… Sending Ning Ke to a hotel . ”
Huo Beichen became impatient . “Come here immediately . Meng Meng has caught a fever . ”
“Yes, sir . ”
After Su Ye had hung up, he glanced at the lady sitting in the front passenger seat . She looked significantly different from how he remembered her . Upon closer inspection, she did not seem to have had any plastic surgery, so, he could not understand how she had turned out like that .
Regardless, now was not the time to discuss this matter . Su Ye casually stopped by the roadside and told Ning Ke in a stern and icy manner . “My boss has found his happiness . I hope you don’t come and meddle in his affairs . I still have some things to settle . Please get off the car . ”
Ning Ke chuckled as she opened the car door and alighted from the car . Before she went down, Su Ye suddenly called out, “Wait . ”
Ning Ke stopped and turned her head . Su Ye, who always had smiling eyes like slits, suddenly had them wide open… He had long and narrow eyes . As he was short-sighted and he naturally liked to smile, his eyes always looked like slits, however, after opening his eyes wide, he looked nothing like his usual warm and gentle self . Instead, he emitted a cold, intimidating aura . “Ning Ke, if you dare to do anything to my boss, you will not like the consequences . ”
When Ning Ke’s eyes met his, she suddenly felt a chill running down her spine . She knew that Su Ye had been Huo Beichen’s closest aide since high school and his allegiance to him was second to none . They were as close as blood brothers .
Clenching her fists tightly, she lowered her head . “I came back to this country because it’s hard to survive on your own out there . We’ve not met since that incident happened eight years ago . Su Ye, at any rate, we’re still classmates from high school . How could you be this cruel to me?”
Su Ye’s eyes went back to its slit-like form . He smiled and said, “As long as you don’t cause any harm, we will still be good ol’ classmates . ”
He immediately left after saying this .
