Chapter 496 — Zhao Ying's Phone Call
Years of Heartflutter · Page 2 of 2
Zhao Ying's words were stern enough, but Yang Ce could hear the deeper meaning beneath them: what if Chen Shutang found out about the relationship between Zhao Ying and himself? That was why Zhao Ying had made this call.
"Heh, Mengyan and the others are in the car too, and we all think this Fan Ce has gone too far. If he isn't taught a lesson, he'll only get worse in the future, so we may as well take this chance and tame him properly!" Yang Hengye said with a smile. His words were fair and aboveboard, but Zhao Ying could read the hint within them well enough: Chen Shutang knew about this matter, and Chen Shutang was at this very moment beside Yang Juehuan!
He was also reminding Zhao Ying not to say anything too intimate, lest there be trouble!
How could Zhao Ying fail to understand? But hearing that it was Chen Shutang's idea, she said no more about it. Her only worry had been that Chen Shutang would brood over it once she knew; but since it was Chen Shutang's own plan, there was no need to worry—she could set her heart entirely at ease.
"All right, since that's how it is, be careful, then!" Zhao Ying said. "If I have time the day after tomorrow, I'll come and watch, but don't get hurt, and don't force yourself. If it really comes to it, losing is losing—it's no great matter!"
"All right, Sister Ying. You must come and cheer for me when the time comes!" Yang Hengye said with a smile. "That's all for now, then. I'm hanging up."
"Yes. Goodbye!" Zhao Ying said nothing more than that.
After hanging up, Yang Yanzhou said: "It was Sister Ying on the phone, asking me how I meant to answer Fan Ce!"
"Sister Ying is worried about you—she doesn't want you hurt. What's wrong with that?" Chen Shutang said. "Sister Ying cares about you very much. Though this business is all for her sake, she doesn't want you fighting either, does she?"
"That's right. Sister Ying said as much—told me to pay him no mind. But it's nothing much, just a small effort on my part!" Yang Hengye said with a smile.
"Listen to you—anyone would think you were some great master!" Chen Shutang said, though she knew very well that Yang Juehuan was indeed formidable. Even back in high school, Yang Ce's title of "King of Fights" had been known throughout the school, and afterward he had become an agent, his skills advancing by leaps and bounds. How could the likes of Fan Ce compare with him?
Yang Ce parked the car in the courtyard of the school's family housing area, then led Chen Shutang, Lin Yanhe, and Zhou Yanning upstairs and rang the bell at Liu Yan's door!
After the New Year, Yang Ce had visited Liu Yan once, and after that he had been busy with all sorts of odds and ends and had not called on him again. Seeing the familiar door, Yang Ce was overcome with feeling. It had been more than half a year since he first came to know Liu Yan—how the time had flown. The first time he came here, he had been with Lan Ling...
Lan Ling—he wondered how she was doing now. Are you well? That time at the airport... who on earth was that man beside you?
