[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch27 - Found a Handsome Man

Silence.

An awkward silence.

No one responded from the other end, so Wei Chen continued speaking. "What's wrong? Is it not a good time to call?"

Zhou Nan suddenly came back to himself. His gaze was like an x-ray, seeing through Song Xuanhe's calm exterior and revealing his guilt. Even Xiao Shenglin was a bit puzzled. He had never heard of Song Xuanhe and Wei Chen being on good terms before. But from Wei Chen's familiar tone, it didn't seem like they had just met.

Song Xuanhe turned off speaker mode, expression not changing. He brought the phone to his ear and said, "Mr. Wei, hello."

"Didn't we say that we'd call each other by our first names?" Wei Chen laughed. He asked, "Is Mr. Xiao beside you right now?"

"No." Song Xuanhe met with two questioning gazes and smiled. His tone was rather cold, however, "We've only met once. I didn't think that you would call me to have a meal together."

"I felt like we had a connection at first sight!" Wei Chen's voice was pure and bright. You could hear the disappointment in his next words. "I had thought that we were at least ordinary friends. I didn't think that my feelings of friendship were just one-sided."

Song Xuanhe was still smiling. He remained unmoved as he replied, "Well, now you know. Then, I won't say anything more. Goodbye."

"Ai ai ai!" Wei Chen raised his voice in haste and quickly said, "I wanted to talk business with you! I currently have a project that I want you to partner in. We'd both benefit from it. Let's talk about it over a meal."

"Sorry," Song Xuanhe said, "I'm not really interested. Bye."

After saying this, Song Xuanhe hung up without waiting for Wei Chen's reply.

Zhou Nan folded his arms, giving Song Xuanhe an askance glance. He adopted a callous demeanour. "Be honest. When did you and Wei Chen get so close? He actually called you specifically to invite you to eat with him. I'll go easy on you if you're honest. If you resist, I'll have to use force. If you don't tell the truth, don't even think of leaving here today."

There wasn't much food left, but Song Xuanhe felt like he could still eat. Therefore, he picked up his chopsticks again and said, "This dish tastes pretty good. Eat a little more. It'd be a shame to waste it."

Zhou Nan: ....

"I just heard you say that you've only met Wei Chen once. What happened?" Xiao Shenglin questioned, but his voice was still gentle and amiable, "Wei Chen is quite the lone wolf. Except for the two friends he has grown up with, I've never heard of him inviting anyone else out to eat."

Song Xuanhe put down his chopsticks and answered, "Weren't you guys wondering about who Wei Chen had hit with his car? It was Xiao Yuanmu."

Zhou Nan's eyes widened, "What the hell, isn't that a hell of a coincidence?"

Xiao Shenglin furrowed his brows and asked, concerned, "Is Xiao Yuanmu OK?"

"He's fine. It's just a superficial injury," Song Xuanhe said, "As the culprit, Wei Chen apologized and made amends by inviting us out to eat. That's why I gave him my contact information."

"He apologized and made amends?" Zhou Nan's eyes widened even more, "Wei Chen apologizing? Did you know, when he was in high school, he had smashed the skull of his school's top dog in with a brick? That student's family didn't take it lying down and wanted to make a big deal over it. It was also during election time then, so the Wei Family couldn't afford to make any mistakes. But even so, despite him practically having his head forced down, Wei Chen still didn't apologize or make it up to them."
