Chapter 1198

Yu Lili panicked and hastily covered her cell phone . When she turned her head, she saw suspicion clearly written all over Shen Zhilie’s face . His expression suddenly changed as if he realized something . Yu Lili’s guilty conscience became even heavier .

Everyone knew that she and Ou Ming had broken up, and Old Mrs . Shen had heard every word that Ou Ming had said to her . If they knew the caller was Ou Ming, that would make for an awkward scenario .

Yu Lili shook her head and replied, “Just a friend . “

Although her actions were somewhat justified, Yu Lili felt guilty nonetheless .

Was this considered a lie?

It was a lie, but it could also be considered a white lie .

When she turned and came face to face with Ye Qianqian’s expression of obvious suspicion, her guilty conscience flared up even more .

She took her phone and stood up, saying, “Give me a moment . I’m going to make a call . “

Under the strange scrutiny of the three people, Yu Lili walked out of the dessert café and dialed the landline right away .

The call was answered very quickly, “Hello . This is the Sheraton Resort . “

Indeed… Yu Lili unscrambled her mind for the correct words and said, “Hello, I am Miss Yu…”

Before Yu Lili could finish her self-introduction, the receptionist interrupted her and said, “Is this Miss Yu? Are you looking for Mr . Ou?”

“Yes,” Yu Lili said .

“He is currently in the lobby of the hotel . The check-out time for his room has already passed . Please come to pick him up,” the receptionist said .

Upon hearing this, Yu Lili felt guilty .

The receptionist on the line realized that Yu Lili wasn’t speaking and continued . “It seems the Mr . Ou hasn’t eaten at all today . He hasn’t drunk anything either . The service staff here gave him some water and food, but he didn’t touch anything . “

That guy…

Yu Lili felt her heart ache momentarily at that news and asked, “Did no one come to the hotel today for him at all?”

“No . He’s only asked for you today . No one else came for him,” the receptionist said .

“I see . Thank you,” Yu Lili said .

“You’re welcome . Please hurry over . What Mr . Ou is wearing is way too thin . It’s not too convenient for a blind man . ” With that last sentence, Yu Lili could identify the mild admonishment in the receptionist’s tone .

A dull ache appeared in Yu Lili’s heart . With a sound of affirmation, she walked back into the dessert café .

Under their questioning gaze, Yu Lili picked up her handbag and said, “I’m heading out for a while . I’ll be back later . “

“You’re going to meet your friend from last night?” Old Mrs . Shen asked Yu Lili as if nothing was out of the ordinary . “Is it a male or female? Why don’t you have Zhilie accompany you?”

At Old Mrs . Shen’s suggestion, Shen Zhilie dutifully got up and agreed . “Yeah . Let me accompany you . You’re not familiar with this place . It’ll be better with a man by your side . “

Yu Lili knew they were concerned for her, but she felt awkward about the place she was going and the person she was about to meet . How could she allow Shen Zhilie to accompany her?

She obstinately shook her head and laughed offhandedly as she said, “That’s not necessary . I’ll be right back . You guys go ahead . “

With that, Yu Lili quickly strode out .

Old Mrs . Shen saw Yu Lili’s flustered actions, and her suspicion increased .

Shen Zhilie just got up and said, “I think I’d better take a look . Go ahead and place your orders . “

“What?” Ye Qianqian looked up in surprise . “You’re going to tail her? I don’t think that’s a good idea . “

“What do you mean by ‘tail’?” Shen Zhilie asked “What I’m doing is being her security detail! What the h*ll do you know?”
