Seeing that she still wouldn't answer the phone, Qiao Luo frowned: "Alright, answer the phone first. Don't get involved in this matter anymore."

After Qiao Luo finished speaking, she noticed that the other woman still didn't answer the phone, and looked over with some confusion.

"What's wrong? Whose call is that?"

Fang Yan then pursed her lips and looked at her, "Your...husband's."

Qiao Luo: "..."

She had no idea when they had gotten in touch.

"You don't need to look at me like that. Just answer the call if you want, and don't pay any attention to me."

She pretended not to care.

Fang Yan pursed her lips.

"Then I'll take it, but don't be angry," Fang Yan asked tentatively.

Qiao Luo: "I'm not angry. Answer it or not, it's up to you."

After she finished speaking, she ignored Fang Yan and returned to her seat.

Fang Yan stared at her for a long time before deciding not to answer.

After all, Qiao Luo was right; as Qiao Luo's best friend, she should be on her side.

We shouldn't be swayed by the small benefits he offers.

Thinking of this, Fang Yan turned off her phone and said, "I won't answer, Luo Luo, I'll do whatever you say."

Hearing her say that, Qiao Luo didn't say anything more.

Lu Tingnian, on the other hand, was getting anxious and agitated.

You should know that although he hadn't contacted Qiao Luo or gone to see her these past few days, he had Han Jian deliver flowers to her every day while secretly contacting Qiao Luo's best friend, Fang Yan, to help him.

Provide feedback on her daily situation.

Take lunchtime for example, Qiao Luo's mealtime was entirely under his control.

Originally, he and Fang Yan were working together well, but suddenly, for some reason, she stopped answering his calls.

Lu Tingnian called Fang Yan several times, but she rejected his calls each time. When he tried to call back later, her phone was switched off.

Lu Tingnian felt anxious as he listened to the cold female voice on the other end of the phone.

At this moment, Han Jian knocked and entered. Seeing his pale face, he asked with some confusion, "President Lu, what's wrong...?"

Lu Tingnian looked at Han Jian.

"Go to the magazine and ask if something happened to Qiao Luo."

Otherwise, why wouldn't Ms. Fang answer his calls?

Upon hearing this, Han Jian quickly did as instructed, only to find out that nothing had happened to Qiao Luo.

Lu Tingnian was a little confused. Since nothing had happened on Qiao Luo's side, why didn't Miss Fang answer his calls?

As he was thinking, the phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Fang Yan calling, he quickly answered.

"Hello, Miss Fang."

Fang Yan had just come out of Qiao Luo's office. Thinking that one should always see things through to the end, since she had agreed to act as an intermediary for Lu Tingnian, she had to give him an explanation. So, she made this phone call.

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry about what happened today. I'm afraid I won't be able to provide you with any more information about Luo Luo in the future."

"Does Miss Fang have any concerns?" Lu Tingnian quickly asked.

Fang Yan: "It's not a matter of concern, but I feel that the two of you should resolve your own issues. It's not appropriate for me, an outsider, to get involved. Besides, Luo Luo already knows that I helped you."

Upon hearing Fang Yan's explanation, Lu Tingnian was taken aback. He had long considered the possibility that Qiao Luo might discover it, but he did not expect to be discovered so quickly.

"Then... what did she say?"

Lu Tingnian asked again.

All he wanted to know now was whether Qiao Luo's attitude was still as resolute as before.

Fang Yan didn't know how to answer this question, after all, she had promised Qiao Luo not to reveal her situation to him.

Thinking this, she said, "Mr. Lu, please forgive me for not being able to tell you, but I think if you really want to win her back, you should take action yourself instead of hiding behind someone else. That would be too insincere."

Lu Tingnian had considered Fang Yan's suggestion before, but he was hesitant to confront Qiao Luo directly.

Because he knew that once he appeared in front of her, she would force him to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce number.

Although he had promised her before, it was just a delaying tactic to win her back.

He couldn't possibly go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, even just to queue up and get a number.

Thinking this, he said, "Thank you very much, Miss Fang. I will consider your opinion."

"Then...Mr. Lu, about that matter..."

"Miss Fang, please rest assured, I will not go back on my word since I have already promised you."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan finally felt relieved.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lu."

Lu Tingnian didn't say anything more about it. After ending the call, he called Han Jian over.

“I remember you mentioned before that the magazine had signed a promotional contract with the company for several issues.”

Han Jian nodded: "That's indeed the case."

"Okay, contact them right away and tell them that our company is launching a new phase of business and we would appreciate it if they could send someone over to help us."

Lu Tingnian gave the instructions.

Upon hearing this, Han Jianli immediately understood Lu Tingnian's meaning.

It seems that President Lu will have to start by addressing the issue from the work perspective.

Qiao Luo was unaware of this.

After Fang Yan left, she threw herself back into her work.

After all, that incident was just a minor episode for her and wouldn't affect her work.

"Qiao Luo, come to my office for a moment."
