Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 100. She really doesn't want him anymore.

Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine, and his movements froze instantly.

He forced himself to turn around, meeting the man's intense gaze, hid his phone behind his back, and then forced a smile: "What did you say, Brother Ci? I don't understand..."

Ji Yanci lifted his weary eyelids slightly, raised his hand, palm facing up: "Give it to me."

Lin Feng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "What is that?"

The man's gaze turned colder and colder: "Give me your phone."

“Ci Ge…”

"You know I don't like repeating myself a third time."

Lin Feng remained silent for a moment before stiffly raising his hand to return Ji Yanci's phone to him.

Ji Yanci took it, his slender fingers lightly tapping the screen, swiping up to unlock his face in one smooth motion.

Lin Feng tried to argue a little longer, leaning forward and saying, "Brother Ci, it's really nothing—"

However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the man's phone screen had switched to Weibo, and the little circle at the top of the following page was spinning and refreshing.

Lin Feng's heart was pounding in his throat.

The refresh ended the next second.

What loaded were economic news articles.

The man scrolled down for a long time but still couldn't find the Weibo post that Jiang Jixu had made.

Lin Feng then suddenly remembered that Ji Yanci had unfollowed Jiang Jixu's Weibo account a long time ago.

But what was it about?

He frowned, but found he couldn't remember at all.

But none of this matters.

As long as Ji Yanci doesn't see that Weibo post, it's fine.

Lin Feng looked up, about to speak, when he suddenly heard the person in front of him say, "I just had Assistant Li bring over some food, but he can't find the place. Why don't you go downstairs and meet him?"

Lin Feng paused for a moment, subtly observing Ji Yanci's expression, trying to find a trace of unusual emotion.

But it didn't.

The nonchalant and lazy look in her peach blossom eyes was no different from usual; her expression was calm and unwavering, showing no sign of anything unusual.

Lin Feng felt a little more at ease and laughed, "How come Li Cheng is still so bad at directions after all these years?"

Ji Yanci lowered his eyelids and casually fiddled with his phone: "Go find him, or he'll get lost again."

Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, then wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

"it is good."

Watching the man's retreating figure as he went downstairs, Ji Yanci's lips drooped slightly. He reopened his phone, opened Weibo, found the hashtag he had purchased on the trending topics list, and clicked on it.

The popularity is very high.

Besides the online trolls he hired, there were also many comments from He Yongwen's fans.

Ji Yanci's gaze swept quickly across the area.

Suddenly, the fingertip that was pulling down stopped.

A comment related to Jiang Jixu caught my eye.

Strawberry Bread V: [Didn't they say Ji Yanci and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family were engaged? I even saw some marketing accounts saying a few days ago that this was a powerful alliance between the two families. How come the young master of the Ji family has another girlfriend now??]

This was the first comment he found in a comment section filled with blessings, sweet moments, and paid online commenters that was related to Jiang Jixu, the Jiang family, and their engagement.

It was clearly not a nice thing for him.

But Ji Yanci felt a secret joy for no apparent reason.

Upon seeing the word "engagement," the man's lips curled slightly, and his finger unconsciously clicked on it.

The smile on his lips froze the next second.

A new comment caught my eye.

Kapibala V: [That's all old news. Didn't you see Miss Jiang's latest Weibo post? She's already married, so please don't bring it up.]

Ji Yanci's gaze turned icy cold, his expression shifting like the wind, truly demonstrating what it means to change one's mind faster than turning the pages of a book.

He pursed his lips, unable to resist replying to the comment.

Ji Yanci V: [How do you know she's married?]

The other party was clearly a tech enthusiast, replying in less than ten seconds.

Kapibala V: [Bro, your internet speed is terrible, I can't even catch the latest gossip.]

Ji Yanci had just started typing, before he could even finish the first sentence, when the other party sent him a link. Kapibala V: [Link to gossip, feel free.]

Ji Yanci stared at the link, his lips pressed into a thin line, and suddenly recalled Lin Feng's strange reaction and words from earlier.

"Brother Ci, can I borrow your phone for a moment?"

"Brother Ci, I don't understand what you're saying."

"I told you it was nothing..."

He stared intently at the link, his eyes gradually turning red, his knuckles turning white, and a bad premonition creeping into his heart.

The man stood there for a long time.

He could easily find out what happened by simply clicking on it, but he just... couldn't.

Fear, terror, anxiety...

This link was like a Pandora's box, containing something he absolutely did not want to see.

But the magic box also has a fatal attraction; it tempts Ji Yanci, making him eager to know what's inside.

The digital clock on the hospital wall ticked away, and when the last three columns all turned "0", the man clicked the link.

Jump to the next page.

The internet speed is a bit slow.

The progress bar is stuck at two-thirds of its length and hasn't moved at all.

Ji Yanci stared intently at the screen, like a student waiting for their college entrance exam results.

at last.

The page has refreshed.

The small black characters were reflected in his jet-black pupils.

The whites of his eyes were gradually replaced by crimson, his hands trembled, he couldn't even hold his phone steady, and the screen blurred in front of his eyes.

The man could only use his other hand to tightly grip his trembling wrist.

Then, as if torturing himself, he held the phone close to his face.

Read the words above carefully again.

Ji Yanci's ears were ringing, and only one thought remained in his mind.

Jiang Jixu publicly announced on Weibo that she is married.

Which means,

She really... doesn't want him anymore.

"Li Cheng, you've been following Ci Ge for so long, how come you still can't get rid of this terrible sense of direction?"

Lin Feng complained as he walked.

Li Cheng was puzzled: "I have no sense of direction? Young Master Lin, you must be mistaken. I could be directionally challenged anywhere, not in this hospital."

Lin Feng glanced at him sideways.

"What, does this hospital have a map buff?"

“No,” Li Cheng said. “My wife gave birth in this hospital. From the time she found out she was pregnant until the time she gave birth, I went there dozens of times. How could I not know the way?”

He has no sense of direction, but he's not stupid.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed.

He took off running towards the elevator.

Li Cheng was taken aback, then hurriedly followed.

Fortunately, they caught the elevator. Li Cheng's suit was disheveled, and he was panting heavily, supporting his legs.
"Young Master Lin, why are you running?"

Lin Feng pressed the elevator button, watching the floor numbers float upwards, his lips pressed tightly together.

"I hope I'm overthinking it."

Hopefully, Ji Yanci wasn't deliberately trying to get rid of him.

Li Cheng was completely confused by Lin Feng's words, but looking at his anxious expression, he vaguely guessed that the matter was probably related to Ji Yanci.

He recalled the trending topics on Weibo.

To be honest, I came here specifically for this reason.
