Yun Hua picked up the phone and calmed herself down.

“Yue Yue? Why did you call me so late at night? What’s the matter?” Yun Hua tried very hard to pretend to be as naive as she was before, but… she really could not do it. Her voice was slightly stiff.

However, Xiao Ruyue would probably not be able to tell because she must be very shocked at this moment.

Hehe, she must have been wondering why Yun Hua was at home and not getting humiliated by Han Lulu at the stadium. It seemed like nothing had happened to her at all.

How was this possible? She had clearly set up the trap.

That was right. At this moment, Xiao Ruyue was very shocked, but she had to pretend as if nothing had happened while she tried to dig out more information from Yun Hua.

“Hua Hua, when did you reach home?” Xiao Ruyue’s voice was very sweet and coquettish, just like her mother’s—Xiao Qiuci. It was a natural doll-like voice that was not pretentious, which caused many boys to fall in love with her voice. All of them surrounded her all day long, just to hear her speak.

“My stomach isn’t feeling so well, so I left before my lessons ended. I think… I reached home around ten minutes earlier than usual. What’s the matter?” asked Yun Hua.

Xiao Ruyue, on the other end of the phone, was silent for a while before she smiled and said, “What about your handphone? Why didn’t you pick up after I called you several times?”

Yun Hua hurriedly lowered her voice. “Shh, don’t even mention it, Yue Yue. I-I lost my phone yesterday… I don’t even dare to tell my mom about it. If she knew about it, she would have scolded me to death!”

“You lost your phone?” Xiao Ruyue’s voice suddenly became sharp like she was taken aback.

However, in Yun Hua’s eyes, she was frustrated beyond words.

If Yun Hua’s handphone was lost, then the person who logged onto Yun Hua’s QQ was definitely not her. After all, her phone would automatically login to QQ; whoever picked up her phone could connect to it directly.

Then…

Who was the one that went to the stadium? No. Who exactly was the person that went to the archive room?

A chill ran down Xiao Ruyue’s spine.

However, Yun Hua was still begging her. “Yue Yue, please don’t tell Auntie Xiao. She was the one who bought the phone for me as a present. My dad didn’t allow me to bring it out, but I insisted. In the end, I lost it…”

“I won’t tell her. Hua Hua, did you really go home before your lessons ended?” asked Xiao Ruyue again as if she did not really believe her.

Yun Hua nodded. “Yeah. Oh yeah, Yue Yue, how’s your flu? Are you going to school tomorrow?”

Xiao Ruyue was sick at home and did not go to school; thus, at the start, the previous life’s Yun Hua never thought that Xiao Ruyue was the one who planned all of this. She only thought it was Han Lulu who planned everything.

“Yep. Okay then, you should rest earlier.”

Xiao Ruyue ended the call a few sentences later and had even saved on the usual greetings.

One had to know that in the past, Xiao Ruyue talked on the phone very sweetly and would want to talk to Yun Hua for a very long time. She would even want to greet Yun Hua’s mother—Jiang Huanqing—personally to show off her politeness before ending the call.

Was she not in the mood today…?

Yun Hua, on the other end of the call, was in a very good mood.

It seemed like there was an advantage to losing her phone. However, it was a pity that the recording inside the phone was gone…

Once she thought of the recording, she was reminded of that man.

Once she thought of that man, Yun Hua would remember the feeling of him slowly pinching her earlobe, sending electric shocks down her entire body.

Damn it. If I have the chance to meet that man again, I must let him know that I’m no easy target.

How dare he take his gun out?

Hehe, he should be careful of it backfiring.
