Chapter 781: Chapter 781: Let Her Die (3)

Could it be... that guy did something to the drink?

No!

That’s not right!

He was drinking it too; if he had done something to the drink, Huangfu Jue wouldn’t be okay. Seems like the drink just had a strong aftereffect.

Massaging her sore temples, Qian Xueying lazily shook her arms, "Did you get anything?"

Xiuyi handed her a hot towel, "The Duke helped you inside and then closed the curtains; nothing was captured. After that, he left in anger. I reminded you yesterday not to drink too much!"

"How was I supposed to know that the liquor was so strong!" Qian Xueying glared at him, annoyed. After pondering for a moment, she immediately put down her coffee, "Give me the phone."

No matter what, everything from last night was enough to prove that Huangfu Jue had developed feelings for her. Although she messed up, at least she still had an opportunity.

Xiuyi passed her the phone, and Qian Xueying immediately dialed Mr. Will’s number.

Of course, she knew Huangfu Jue’s number, but she hadn’t acquired it through proper means. Besides, she knew that given his status and their relationship, it was not yet time to call his personal number casually.

"Mr. Will, hello, this is Qian Xueying." Qian Xueying curled her lips, her tone incredibly sweet, "I was wondering if the Duke is available to take a call. About last night... I would like to apologize to him for last night’s incident."

"The Duke is in a meeting right now, it’s not a good time for a call."

"I see... well, I’ll call back later then." Qian Xueying, left with no choice, hung up the phone, "Prepare the car; I’m going to the Duke Residence."

She couldn’t just give up now, not after finally making some progress.

Xiuyi agreed and went to prepare the car. Qian Xueying went to the bathroom to shower and change. Moments later, they were already in the car heading to the Duke Residence, only to be informed by the gatekeeper that Huangfu Jue had gone abroad, "Then... when will the Duke return?"

The gatekeeper smiled blandly, "I’m afraid I can’t answer that question, as I do not know myself."

With no other option, Qian Xueying dialed Will’s mobile phone again.

"Mr. Will, this is Qian Xueying. I was wondering, the Duke..."

"Oh, Miss Qian, hello. The Duke is already aware that you called."

"He is? Then, what did he... what did he say?"

"Well..." Will hesitated for a moment, "The Duke said..."

"What did he say?" Qian Xueying gripped the receiver in anticipation.

"The Duke said, ’Tell her to go to hell’!" Will struggled to hold back laughter, "I am so sorry, these are the exact words the Duke asked me to relay to you. I... I didn’t mean to hurt you. Goodbye."

The call ended.

Qian Xueying held the receiver for a few seconds in shock, then threw the phone away, smashing it hard against the car window. Her heart was filled with rage, yet she was helpless to vent it.

This time, she couldn’t blame anyone else; she had ruined it herself. If only she hadn’t drunk so much last night...

Qian Xueying felt so angry she wished she could slap herself. She had finally narrowed the gap with Huangfu Jue, only to mess it all up, and her regret was more than apparent.

Unfortunately, she thought last night was her play, not realizing she had already been outmaneuvered by Huangfu Jue.

Seeing her frustration, Xiuyi felt somewhat sympathetic.

"Miss, you don’t need to be too discouraged. As long as he has feelings for you, you can think of another plan when he returns."

Qian Xueying lifted her head, "Next time, I won’t make any mistakes!"
