Fu Junya smiled and asked, “Miss Song, are you on your phone all the time because you’re talking to your boyfriend?”
Fu Junya was smiling but her intention was bad. She was insinuating that Song Yu was not focusing at work as she was chatting on her phone all the time.
“No. My phone might be infected with a virus, that would explain why I’m getting so many junk messages,” Song Yu said expressionlessly.
“…” Qi Chengzhi was speechless.
Shortly after, Song Yu received another message from Qi Chengzhi. “Junk messages? Do you still want the contract to go through or…?”
He took advantage of Song Yu’s weakness. She had no choice but to reply him on text, “You won’t let our private matters affect our work right?”
This time around, Qi Chengzhi’s phone finally vibrated. As he checked the message, his eyes were smiling.
After reading Song Yu’s reply, he replied hastily. “I said I would never sleep with a woman in exchange for an order. Have we slept with each other yet?”
“…” Song Yu’s face darkened and decided to shut down her phone altogether.

When they were on their way back to the hotel at noon, Guan Xiaolin suggested having dinner together. Her reasoning was that as everyone was leaving the day after, this would be the last time they had a gathering. It would be a good opportunity for everyone to gather for one last time.
Song Yu was the first to decline. She said she was too tired and wanted to rest.
The reality was that she was bothered by what Guan Xiaolin said earlier that morning.
She was unsure if Guan Xiaolin was acting in her best interest, or if she was merely expressing concern. Seeing how they were friends, she would expect Guan Xiaolin to know how she was like as a person.
To think that Guan Xiaolin accused her of prostituting herself for the sake of business. This made her extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, Guan Xiaolin had always known that she liked Jian Yi.
The fact that Guan Xiaolin said that in front of Jian Yi made her extremely upset. She found it impossible to connect with Guan Xiaolin anymore.
Qi Chengzhi said no to the gathering too. “Not free,” he replied without elaborating further and did not respond to anyone.
No one dared to ask him why.
Since Qi Chengzhi was not going, Luo Yushu followed suit and decided not to go as well. Jian Yi found it inappropriate to go alone and Guan Xiaolin’s plan fell through.
After returning to the hotel, Song Yu stayed in her room and did not head out anymore. She packed up and got ready for their departure tomorrow morning.
She took a shower and was in the white bathrobe provided by the hotel. To make sure that Qi Chengzhi would not succeed in taking advantage of her, she kept her undergarments on.
She dried her hair as she walked out of the shower. When she passed by the door, she heard Qi Chengzhi’s doorbell ringing.
A voice spoke after the door opened. She froze after realizing who was on the other side of the door. “Young Master Cheng, I have a few new ideas about the hotel design proposal that I would like to discuss with you. Are you free to talk now?”
The bad sound insulation in the hotel rooms coupled with the fact that her room was next to Qi Chengzhi’s room allowed her to hear Guan Xiaolin’s voice clearly.
