In truth, it didn't take long. It was just a few short seconds, but the anxious Shi Yao felt as if she had waited for a very long time. She couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Lin Jiage, I'm asking you a question. Where are you right now?"
"I'm in the middle of a meeting …" Lin Jiage replied in bewilderment. Noticing the anxiety in Shi Yao's voice, he thought that something had happened to her, so he asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen? "
Meeting … Where are you holding it? It can't be a one-on-one meeting with Liang Xiao, right?
Shi Yao subconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. Ignoring the latter half of Lin Jiage's question, she asked another question, "Where are you holding the meeting?"
"Where else can it be? It's at the office … "Lin Jiage's tone carried a hint of 'What kind of question is that?'.
Shi Yao replied with an "Oh" as she heaved a sigh of relief.
So, Lin Jiage hadn't set off to meet Liang Xiao yet … It seemed like she could still make it in time to intercept him …
With such a thought in mind, Shi Yao asked again, "How much longer until your meeting ends?"
"If it's quick, it'll take at least half an hour …" After replying to Shi Yao's question, Lin Jiage asked, "Yaoyao, what's wrong?"
Half an hour … If she were to take the subway to his office, it would only take around ten minutes or so. That should be more than enough time …
Shi Yao's heart finally calmed down. "It's nothing much. I just wanted to ask you something. Go ahead with your meeting, I won't disturb you any longer."
Saying so, Shi Yao prepared to hang up the call.
On the other end of the call, Lin Jiage seemed to realize that she was about to hang up, so he hurriedly asked, "Yaoyao, are you really fine?"
"I'm really fine … I promise! I swear! "
Lin Jiage was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the call before replying, "Alright then, I'll be heading off to the meeting first. We'll talk later."
Shi Yao replied with an "Mm" before hanging up the call.
Due to the urgency of the situation, she didn't waste any time with Leng Nuan, He Tiantian, and Jiang Yue. Instead, she hurriedly asked them to help her bring the clothes and shoes she had changed out of back to her dormitory room. After which, she flipped through her subway card and headed for the elevator.
However, before she could take a step forward, she seemed to have thought of something. She walked up to Leng Nuan and asked her softly, "Nuan Nuan, do you think he'll look down on me if I send myself to him like this?"
Even though Shi Yao didn't say what she was up to, Leng Nuan could roughly guess what she was up to. Even though Shi Yao didn't mention Lin Jiage's name, Leng Nuan could tell that Shi Yao was going to look for him. After hearing Shi Yao's words, Leng Nuan shook her head and reassured her, "Don't worry, he won't. If he dares to look down on you, just beat him up. If you can't defeat him, I'll do it for you!"
"You're right …" Shi Yao felt that Leng Nuan's words made sense. "If he dares to look down on me, I'll beat him up. If we can't defeat him, it's fine. I still have Sis Jiayi …"
After saying those words, a smile crept up Shi Yao's face as she waved goodbye to Leng Nuan. Then, with her subway card in hand, she dashed toward the elevator without looking back.
It happened to be the evening rush hour, so there were quite a lot of people taking the subway.
