Chapter 2118 The unexpected comes

Seeing Tian Qi staring blankly at the laptop, Ye Ye looked at Tian Qi with some confusion and asked softly.

"what happened?"

Tian Qi seemed to be suddenly awakened, his body trembled violently, and then he quickly hung up the phone, as if the call was something terrible.

She raised her head, looked at Ye Ye, and answered with an unnatural smile on her face.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a nuisance call. Where were we talking about?"

Ye Ye was stunned when he heard Tian Qi's answer. A harassing call? How is that possible? Who would be so bold as to make a harassing call to the Minister of the Armed Forces? Isn't that asking for trouble? Aren't they afraid that the people from the Demon Suppression Department will come to check the water meter in the next second?

Ye Ye's astonishment had not yet passed when Tian Qi's brain suddenly rang again. She looked closely and saw that it was Cui Yingying again...

Tian Qi's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and hung up the phone again as if nothing had happened.

However, Ye Ye's curiosity was completely aroused. He couldn't help but speak again.

"If you don't want to, just answer it. We are just chatting anyway, it's nothing serious..."

"I already told you it was a harassing call! Don't you understand?"

Suddenly, there was a "bang" and Tian Qi slammed the table. The originally calm tabletop was like a disturbed lake, with ripples. At the same time, a powerful aura of a superior gushed out from Tian Qi like a volcanic eruption. This aura was like a tidal wave, which made people look sideways.

Tian Qi's face sank slightly, with a little anger, his eyes stared at Ye Ye tightly, and that look seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls. Tian Qingtian was frightened by this sudden scene and trembled all over. He shrank his neck involuntarily, with an extremely frightened expression on his face. His eyes fell directly on Ye Ye, as if to say.

"Stop talking! Don't you know who called? I was sitting right next to you, couldn't you see it?"

Lu Yue, who was standing by, was so frightened that he almost crawled under the table like a frightened rabbit. After all, he had seen Tian Qi get so angry before. The mental pressure brought by Tian Qi's anger was not something that Lu Yue, a young boy, could bear.

Even Ye Ye was shocked by Tian Qi's sudden outburst. He had never expected Tian Qi to be so furious, and for a moment he was at a loss, not knowing what he had said wrong to make Tian Qi so angry.

Seeing the scene suddenly become extremely awkward, Tian Qi's expression froze there as if she was cast with a spell. She regretted it in her heart and thought to herself: "Why can't I control my temper? Will it scare Ye Ye? Will he think I'm a fierce person?"

The key point is that she is already wary of Cui Yingying. Cui Yingying's sudden call made Tian Qi feel guilty, as if she had done something wrong and was caught on the spot. She even felt ashamed of being caught eating alone.

"Uh... that's not what I meant. I meant..."

Tian Qi's words suddenly became a little stammering. She wanted to explain what she meant, but she didn't know how to organize her words. After all, some words, once spoken, are like spilled water, and it is difficult to take them back.

Tian Qi looked at Ye Ye awkwardly, while secretly complaining in her heart. She wanted to show her gentle and generous side in front of Ye Ye, but now she was so embarrassed because of this phone call. However, just when she was still trying to think about how to save the situation, the light computer in her hand rang again at an inopportune time.

The sudden ringing made Tian Qi's heart beat faster. She subconsciously looked at Ye Ye and the other two people, and found that their eyes were all focused on the light computer in her hand. Tian Qi felt her face getting hot, and she quickly covered her forehead with her hands, trying to cover up the embarrassment and anger that was difficult to conceal.

However, things had come to this point, and she had no choice but to go through with the call.

"Hello? I'm in a meeting, discussing something important. If it's nothing important, we can talk tomorrow."

Tian Qi took a deep breath and said this as quickly as possible, as if she was afraid that the other party would interrupt her. After she finished speaking, she didn't even have time to wait for the other party's response, and hurriedly wanted to hang up the phone.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute! Don't hang up yet!"

Cui Yingying's voice sounded anxiously on the other end of the phone, as if she was afraid that Tian Qi would suddenly hang up the phone. Tian Qi was ready to press the hang-up button, but when he heard Cui Yingying's call, his hand stopped in mid-air.

Tian Qi was a little puzzled, wondering why Cui Yingying was so anxious. However, he was also worried that Cui Yingying might have something important to tell him, so he decided to listen patiently.

"Meeting? What kind of meeting? Aren't all the meetings today over? You even took a leave of absence from the last meeting. Don't try to fool me!"

Cui Yingying's tone was clearly filled with dissatisfaction and suspicion. Tian Qi couldn't help but frown. She knew that she did not attend the last meeting today, but she also had her own reasons.

"I'm so bored lying in bed, so I'm asking where you are and whether you want to have dinner together or meet up tonight."

Cui Yingying continued, revealing a hint of helplessness and boredom in her voice. Tian Qi then realized that Cui Yingying just wanted to have a meal with him and chat.

However, Tian Qi was not in the mood to meet Cui Yingying at the moment, and she didn't want Cui Yingying to know what she was doing. So, she answered perfunctorily.

"Oh, I'm a little busy, I might not have time."

Cui Yingying was obviously not satisfied with Tian Qi's answer, so she asked further.

"What are you busy with? You don't even have time to eat?"

Tian Qi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Don't lie to me, you must be hiding something interesting from me!"

Cui Yingying's tone became more and more indignant.

"Tian Qi, you, a workaholic, actually put down your work and didn't even attend the meeting. There must be something fishy going on! Tell me, what are you doing?"

Tian Qi felt a little uneasy after hearing what Cui Yingying said. He knew that Cui Yingying was a very sensitive person, and she was on vacation now, bored to death every day, so she was full of curiosity about everything. The more Tian Qi thought about it, the more he felt that his attitude just now was a little bad, so he softened his tone and said.

"Yingying, it's really not what you think. I just have some personal matters to deal with. I'll explain to you when I'm done, okay?"

Cui Yingying felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what Tian Qi said, but she couldn't ask any more questions. She sighed and said.

"Okay, then go ahead and do your thing. But don't forget to call me if you're free later."

"Okay, but forget about the meal. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll hang up and we can meet again later."

Tian Qi refused mercilessly. She was really afraid that she would be the first to be exposed after meeting Cui Yingying.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. The communication transmission of the optical computer is extremely hidden. Even if Ye Ye is sitting opposite, he can't hear the communication sound without the public speaker function turned on. So, Ye Ye spoke without realizing it.

"Do you have any friends? Why don't you ask him or her to come over? Anyway, this place hasn't officially opened yet, so the place is spacious enough."

As soon as Ye Ye finished speaking, Tian Qi's face showed an expression of near despair. She widened her eyes and looked at Ye Ye in disbelief, as if to say, "Brother, what are you meddling in!"

All of this was recorded truthfully by the high-quality optical computer in Tian Qi's hand.

Sure enough, the next moment, Cui Yingying's scream full of surprise came into Tian Qi's ears through the light brain.

"You're having dinner with a man!?"

This sudden question made Tian Qi's heart beat faster instantly, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Fortunately, because Ye Ye was relatively far away from the optical brain, and a long time had passed, Cui Yingying did not seem to recognize whose voice it was. Seeing this, Tian Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm and responded.

"What does it have to do with you? I'll talk to you when I get back. Bye!" After saying that, she hung up the phone in a hurry, fearing that Cui Yingying would continue to ask questions.

After saying that, Tian Qi didn't even give the other party time to react, and hung up the phone without hesitation, as if this call was just an insignificant interruption to her.

Cui Yingying on the other end of the phone was completely stunned. She never thought that Tian Qi would hang up the phone so decisively. This was completely different from the Tian Qi she remembered. Could it be that the iron tree really bloomed?

Ye Ye, who was sitting next to him, felt nervous when he saw this scene. He quickly comforted her.

"It's okay. If you're busy, we can make an appointment another day." His tone was very considerate, as if he completely understood Tian Qi's situation.

Tian Qi just rolled her eyes after hearing Ye Ye's words, but she still controlled her temper this time and tried to respond in a gentle tone.

"It doesn't matter. They are just some insignificant people. You know, after all, I am the Minister of the Armed Forces. There are often some speculators who come here to seek connections."

Tian Qi's explanation made Ye Ye nodded in agreement. In this society full of human relationships, such things are indeed very common. However, Tian Qingtian at the side couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly. He muttered to himself, could the director of the Demon Suppression Department really be an insignificant person?

However, this small episode did not have much impact on the atmosphere in the private room. Liu Zhuangshi enthusiastically served all kinds of delicious food to the table. The fragrant dishes quickly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned their eyes away from what had just happened and began to enjoy this sumptuous meal.

As the delicious dishes were served, everyone's mood became more cheerful. They tasted the food and chatted happily. However, most of the conversation was between Ye Ye and Tian Qi, who seemed to have endless topics to talk about.

However, the content of their conversation made Liu Zhuangshi, Lu Yue and Tian Qingtian feel terrified. Because most of what they talked about were some anecdotes from thousands of years ago. These stories might be just legends or myths to other people, but to Ye Ye and Tian Qi, they were real things that happened.

They talked about the experience of Ye Ye, Tian Qi, Li Lingzhi, and Cui Yingying teaming up to kill monsters in the Sixth Demon Plain, and Tian Qi's departure from Luocheng and heading to Beijing. These stories stunned Liu Zhuangshi and Lu Yue, who simply couldn't believe that Ye Ye actually knew these legendary figures a thousand years ago.

Especially when Ye Ye talked about how he took away Li Yi's glasses and laptop, which led to Li Yi being severely beaten by his father after returning home, Tian Qi laughed very happily, as if this matter was a very interesting joke to her. Lu Yue and Liu Zhuangshi's eyes became more and more weird, and they began to have more questions and speculations about Ye Ye's identity.

Obviously, they recalled the last conversation between Ye Ye and Li Yi. Overall, the atmosphere of this conversation was quite harmonious and pleasant. Tian Qi seemed to have noticed something, so she did not continue to ask in front of everyone why Ye Ye suddenly disappeared, reappeared, and then disappeared again. She seemed to plan to leave this question for later, when they were alone to discuss it.

However, they were completely unaware that two uninvited guests were quietly heading towards this place...

Just half an hour ago, Cui Yingying sat on the sofa with a suspicious look on her face, her brows tightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something important. Just now, Tian Qi's tone on the phone made her feel very strange, obviously a little flustered, and also a little concealed.

Tian Qi actually had dinner with a man? This surprised Cui Yingying. What was even more unexpected was that Tian Qi actually left early for this matter and did not even attend an important meeting. This was really abnormal!

Cui Yingying's mind kept echoing with Tian Qi's words. The more she thought about it, the more curious she became, and the gossip fire in her heart burned more and more. After all, this was a very explosive piece of gossip! She couldn't help but start to speculate about the relationship between Tian Qi and that man.

You know, over the past thousand years, Cui Yingying has experienced the death of many relatives and friends, which made her feel a little lonely. Fortunately, there are people like Li Lingzhi and Tian Qi by her side. They are not only playmates since childhood, but also revolutionary partners, and the feelings between them are very deep.

Now that Tian Qi had such an incident, Cui Yingying was naturally very concerned. She was worried that Tian Qi might get into trouble or get hurt. At the same time, she was also full of curiosity about this mysterious man, wondering who he was and what his relationship with Tian Qi was.

So, Cui Yingying grabbed the laptop without hesitation and quickly dialed Li Lingzhi's number.

"Hey?"

Li Lingzhi's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.
