Chapter 785: Chapter 773: One Phone Call After Another
With these thoughts, Xu Moqian heaved a silent sigh and spoke up, "If I don’t go, it wouldn’t be very considerate of me. The reason I didn’t attend that wedding was because it was just a formality, but this time it’s real."
"Even though I don’t like that bastard Zhan Qipei, since you’ve made your choice, I respect your decision. So, I’ll attend your wedding."
After saying these words, Xu Moqian began to feel uncomfortable again.
However, things had come to this point, and he could only comfort himself. It’s just a setback in love, he thought, just grit your teeth and get through it!
"Alright," Qiao Jing tugged at her lips. "Anyway, the Zhan’s will definitely send you an invitation. Whether you come or not is up to you. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up."
Just as Qiao Jing was about to press the end call button, Xu Moqian’s urgent voice came through, "Wait, don’t hang up yet!"
"Is there something else?" Qiao Jing raised an eyebrow.
After a few seconds of silence, Xu Moqian finally blurted out, "Let me sing you a song."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing felt somewhat bewildered.
What in the world was he doing singing a song in the middle of the night!
As she pondered this, Xu Moqian’s singing voice started to come through.
"You’re getting married, but the groom isn’t me, in an unnoticed corner, my tears secretly fall."
"You’re getting married, but the groom isn’t me, the sorrow in my heart, no one else can speak of."
"You’re getting married, how I wish I could be happy..."
Truth be told, Xu Moqian sang quite well, but the lyrics of the song left Qiao Jing speechless.
Now she knew why this person suddenly wanted to sing!
"That’s enough, stop singing. Go to sleep," she said.
As soon as she finished speaking and without giving Xu Moqian a chance to react, Qiao Jing hung up the phone.
After hanging up, she was about to put away her phone when it rang again.
This time it was Lu Zijin calling. noveldrama
Undoubtedly, he was also calling because of the wedding.
However, unlike Xu Moqian, who went straight to the point, Lu Zijin started off by making small talk with Qiao Jing, before he finally said, "I saw the news online, you’re going to have a wedding with Zhan Qipei, is that right?"
Qiao Jing replied indifferently, "Yes."
Lu Zijin pursed his lips, hesitating for quite a while before finally saying, "Congratulations. I hope you’ll always be happy with him and forever blissful. Don’t forget to invite me to your wedding when the time comes."
"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t forget. And thank you for your well-wishes," Qiao Jing said with a light chuckle, curling her lips.
The conversation reached this point, and then Lu Zijin, on the other end of the phone, suddenly became silent. He did not speak, nor did he seem to intend to hang up.
Qiao Jing could feel that he seemed to have something else to say, but was hesitating.
After waiting like this for two minutes, she spoke up, "If you have something to say, you can just tell me."
Hearing Qiao Jing say this, Lu Zijin, after much hesitation, finally mustered up the courage to speak his mind.
He took a deep breath and braced himself before saying, "In the future, if Zhan Qipei ever lets you down, or bullies you, making you suffer, you can come to me."
Upon hearing these words, Qiao Jing understood what Lu Zijin meant.
Although she was indeed rather slow when it came to matters of the heart, she wasn’t completely oblivious.
She had always known that Lu Zijin had feelings for her, but since Lu Zijin never made it explicit, she never pointed it out either. It was best to continue their relationship as friends.
With that in mind, Qiao Jing gave a faint smile and said to Lu Zijin on the other end of the line, "Thank you."
Lu Zijin fell silent for a few seconds before finally saying, "It’s getting late, I won’t disturb your rest any longer, sleep early."
"Okay, you too."
After these words, Qiao Jing ended the evening’s third call.
For some reason, she had a strange premonition that someone else would definitely call her soon.
No sooner had she thought this than her phone rang again.
This time it was Ni Yue who was calling.
After Qiao Jing answered the call, she took the initiative to say, "You saw the news about my wedding on the internet, and that’s why you’ve called to console me in the middle of the night?"
Although her words were a question, her tone was very convinced.
On the other end of the line, Ni Yue didn’t respond to Qiao Jing’s question but instead let out a few fake sobs and wailed, "How could you really get taken away by that kid Zhan Qipei? What’s so good about him? Boo hoo..."
The relationship between Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei was something she was very clear about.
Although Qiao Jing had agreed to be with Zhan Qipei before, it was only an exploratory stage, not truly lovers.
But now, with Zhan Corporation’s official blog making a public announcement that Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei were going to hold their wedding again, it meant that Qiao Jing had truly, completely, accepted Zhan Qipei!
Thinking that her Qiao Jing had been snatched away by that kid Zhan Qipei, she felt especially sad, especially terrible!
Qiao Jing’s ears were almost deafened by Ni Yue’s loud voice.
She moved the phone away a little, waiting for Ni Yue to tire of ranting and to take a break in the middle before finding the right moment to speak, "Talk properly, don’t cry and whimper, I can’t hear clearly what you’re saying."
Ni Yue had been babbling on for quite a while, and Qiao Jing really hadn’t heard a single word.
However, even without hearing clearly, she had a pretty good guess at what Ni Yue was saying...
Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Ni Yue pretended to sniffle and even sobbed a few times, then she started to nag again, "In the end, you were snatched away by that wolf cub Zhan Qipei!"
"Tell me, what’s wrong with me? How am I inferior to him? Why choose him and not me?"
"Or how about you reconsider it, while the wedding hasn’t taken place yet. Dump him and be with me instead, my arms are always open for you..."
Listening to Ni Yue’s endless prattle, Qiao Jing felt both amused and helpless.
She tugged at the corner of her mouth and interjected to stop Ni Yue’s talk, "Alright, that’s enough, my ears are going to develop calluses from all your noise."
This person was still as incorrigible as ever, never changing, always saying things that made one both laugh and cry.
But she knew in her heart that Ni Yue was acting like this because she cared.
"It seems you’re serious this time."
Ni Yue said and then let out a sigh, her voice growing a few shades more serious than before.
"Alright, I’ll stop fooling around. Seriously, if that kid Zhan Qipei ever dares to bully you, just take the kid and run away from home, come directly to me. I’ll take care of you guys and I can even be a godmother or godfather to the child!"
Qiao Jing was amused once again by Ni Yue’s words, and she also felt a warm feeling inside.
To have so many people care about her, she was truly moved.
After chuckling for a bit, Qiao Jing, feeling a sudden impulse, teased, "I forgot to tell you, I have my phone on speaker and Zhan Qipei is right next to me, he heard everything you just said."
