Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

Chapter 307 The Impoverished Golden Phoenix 20

While taking a bath, Wu Tongxue touched her wrist again, where several red threads had been wrapped around it.

It was given to him by an aunt when he went back to his hometown, who said it was for children to keep them safe.

He noticed the red thread was missing these past few days; it must have fallen somewhere, but he hasn't been able to find it.

It's a bit strange.

He inexplicably felt that it was related to the previous kidnapping.

After drying himself off, he put on a warm blue onesie and went out, with two big ears hanging from the hood.

The kidnapping happened suddenly, and the kidnapper was found in time. The Lou family suppressed the incident without causing a stir, and there was no need to worry about related public opinion disturbances.

Xiao Fox: Are you asleep?

A new message popped up on my phone.

Upon seeing the news, Wu Tongxue no longer had time to think about the red thread.

To be honest, every time he chatted with Xiao Jinghan, he felt a slight sense of guilt, because for the past ten years or so, he had been an honest kid.

The phone was still displaying "The other party is typing..." when the other party called.

Wu Tongxue was startled and glanced at the door before answering the call.

This is the old Lou family residence.

The other party was making a video call.

In the scene, Xiao Jinghan is also in the bedroom, wearing a purple-gray silk nightgown, with her long rose-red hair tied in a low ponytail, and a pair of thin-rimmed silver glasses.

Sitting in front of the glass partition between the balcony and the bedroom, there is a book on the table and a light-colored beverage in a glacier glass.

He leaned back in his chair, exuding both languor and allure, his foxy eyes gleaming with a captivating smile.

In the dimly lit atmosphere, a tender voice said, "Good evening."

His gaze swept over them, and he said with a smile, "Has Lou Wujiu not gone back yet?"

Wu Tongxue slightly shifted her gaze, then pressed her forehead helplessly. "He has something to do and will be back later."

Xiao Jinghan blinked, her smile deepening. "Then we can chat a little longer."

Wu Tongxue looked back, then looked away again. "It's getting late, get some rest."

"Your foot isn't healed yet, you should go to bed early."

"Is Xiaoxue worried about me?" Xiao Jinghan shifted slightly, her collar opening a little wider.

Men who are like foxes are indeed difficult to deal with.

Wu Tongxue pondered how to answer, using her meager vocabulary.

Looking at the screen on his phone, Xiao Jinghan understood. The fact that he avoided the topic meant that he wasn't completely unaware of the situation.

Another step forward.

"I've been staying at home alone these past few days, with no one to talk to," Xiao Jinghan sighed softly, her face filled with worry.

He gave a perfect performance.

Xiao Jinghan didn't stay in the hospital for long before packing up and going home. What was the point of him being hospitalized alone?

It's still on the other side's territory.

Wu Tongxue knew perfectly well that he was trying to gain sympathy; his household had no fewer than dozens of servants, so how could there be no one?

Out of consideration for his illness, I didn't hang up the phone.

"A variety show I invested in has been hit with a major scandal and is about to be canceled." Xiao Jinghan frowned slightly, a faint worry lingering between her brows.

"It's just a veteran movie star who was suddenly exposed for having relationship problems," Xiao Jinghan said tactfully.

Wu Tongxue became interested. "Is it the person who's been trending on social media these past couple of days?"

There's no definitive proof yet; fans, casual observers, and various marketing accounts are all saying different things.

His roommate, Zhang Feiyue, may look big and burly, but he has a particular fondness for watching all kinds of melodramas. This movie star is a regular in these kinds of dramas.

Everyone in the dorm knows him.

Speaking of this, Xiao Jinghan really felt a bit uncomfortable.

This award-winning actor is a very senior veteran who has been semi-retired for years. It took multiple visits from variety show directors to finally persuade him to come.

He is a model of moral integrity and harmonious marriage; please go and guard the town.

Unexpectedly, the other party was completely innocent in China, but had a lot of emotional entanglements abroad, keeping mistresses as lovers.

This time, the two companies were photographed by domestic paparazzi.

His wife personally came forward on the platform to clarify and expose the falsehoods during a live broadcast. She and the paparazzi had conflicting accounts, but the evidence was not fake, so the dispute continued.

Xiao Jinghan only cares about her own money.

Upon investigation, he discovered that this veteran actor's romantic history was truly extensive, so extensive that it couldn't be contained in a single drama.

This is a complete loss.

Xiao Jinghan said things that hadn't been leaked yet, and Wu Tongxue listened to them all.

That really captures the essence of life.

As Xiao Jinghan finished speaking, she changed the subject, rested her chin on her hand, and smiled, "Indeed, there are very few men as virtuous as me."

Wu Tongxue's lips tightened, suppressing her smile: "It's late, get some rest."

Xiao Jinghan ignored his coldness and gave him a wink, "Goodnight, Xiaoxue."

Then she blinked at him, her face full of expectation.

Wu Tongxue's eyelashes trembled slightly as her gaze swept across the screen. "...Goodnight."

"Click——"

The sound of the door lock being turned could be heard.

Lou Wujiu is back.

The video call hadn't ended yet when Xiao Jinghan on the other end heard it too.

Not wanting to miss out on a good show, he deliberately spoke in a high-pitched voice: "Goodnight, darling."

Xiao! Jing! Han!

what are you doing!

Wu Tongxue's pupils dilated, she hung up the video call in a flash, turned her phone face down, and looked towards the door.

The series of movements was very smooth and rapid.

My heart was pounding.

He subconsciously smiled at Lou Wujiu, his voice slightly unsteady: "You're back."

He gripped his phone tightly; in fact, he had been gone for a while.

I really can't stay here any longer; I need to get back to school right away.

She was also a little annoyed with Xiao Jinghan, well, she was angry out of embarrassment for her scumbag behavior.

He carefully observed Lou Wujiu's expression, trying to figure out whether he had heard it or not, but he couldn't discern anything.

He looked the same as always.

Lou Wujiu looked into the room, staring intently at him, "What are you doing?"
