Meng Xi'er stared at the screen for a moment, then glanced up towards the study on the upper floor. A flicker in her eyes revealed a hidden agenda as she murmured into her phone, "He's here with me."

There was a prolonged silence before Meng Xi'er heard Yun Qiyan on the other end screaming in a clenched-teeth rage, "Meng Xi'er, how is his phone in your hands?!"
Meng Xi'er's heart, which had been stifled for a while, seemed to soar in that moment. Perhaps everyone has a bit of a bad guy in them, otherwise why did she feel so elated at hearing Yun Qiyan's shocked and incredulous voice?
She stole a glance at Lu Yebai's study, then crossed her legs on the couch, casually grabbing a cushion to hug in her lap, comfortably lying down.
"Like I said, he's with me," Meng Xi'er said with a gleeful smile. "So, isn't it natural for his phone to be with me, too?"
"So, you're saying…" Yun Qiyan's voice trembled, "It's because he's with you that Yebai hasn't contacted me for so long?!!"
