Chapter 1513: Chapter 1514: Maybe I Was Seeing Things

On the cruise ship deck, besides Qin Feimo and senior management personnel from M Group, there was also Dongfang Li.

Looking at the dashing and heroic Qin Feimo standing there, Dongfang Li’s gaze was filled with infatuation.

Then, as if she spotted Xiang Jinnan, Dongfang Li suddenly averted her eyes and spoke with a light smile, "Manager Xiang."

The unexpected low call made Xiang Jinnan, who was initially watching the distant island, turn his head to face Dongfang Li.

He knew that Dongfang Li was the biggest partner in M Group’s project development this time.

"Miss Dongfang."

"Did you come over specifically?"

Her suggestive tone made Xiang Jinnan pause, "What?"

"I saw you this morning, seemingly accompanying your girlfriend?" She intentionally used the words ’girlfriend’, apparently attempting to attract Qin Feimo’s attention, who was facing away from them.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Qin Feimo’s expression slightly froze.

"Miss Dongfang got it wrong, I don’t have a girlfriend yet."

"Really? Then I might have misunderstood. I seemed to see you walking closely with a woman in the Rose Garden and thought she was your girlfriend, but perhaps I mistook someone else."

Her words carried hidden meanings, clearly intending to reveal something.

Xiang Jinnan stared at her, unsure of her ultimate goal.

"Miss Dongfang got it wrong."

"So, it means you actually didn’t go to the Rose Garden this morning?" She raised an eyebrow, a smug smile on her lips.

If Xiang Jinnan said he didn’t go, it would mean he’s lying, and Qin Feimo would only suspect him and Feng Jinglei even more.

If his answer was that he went, it also proved that the photos she took were real, that he indeed had a clandestine meeting with Feng Jinglei in the morning. No matter his answer, it would be beneficial to her, Dongfang Li.

And Qin Feimo, upon hearing it, would only disdain Feng Jinglei even more.

Staring at Dongfang Li, perhaps Xiang Jinnan also realized that Qin Feimo could certainly hear their conversation now.

Instinctively, he glanced sideways toward Qin Feimo not far away, and this glance only reinforced the feeling that he was overly aware of Qin Feimo’s presence.

"I’ve been."

"By yourself?" She probed further, wanting the truth to surface.

Xiang Jinnan knew that if he deliberately concealed it, with Qin Feimo’s insight and intelligence, the flaw would soon be exposed, leading to a deep misunderstanding.

If that happened, Feng Jinglei would be even more troubled before Qin Feimo, wouldn’t she?

"No, with a friend."

"Friend? A female? Then that means I wasn’t wrong." Dongfang Li said with a smile.

Xiang Jinnan seemed to see her unusual motives, as if she deliberately spoke for Qin Feimo to hear.

"You weren’t wrong about the person, but from start to finish, Feng Jinglei and I didn’t have any intimate gestures. In this respect, I think it was Miss Dongfang who got it wrong."

"Really, I saw you chatting and laughing, very much like a couple in love."

Xiang Jinnan was taken aback, realizing her clear intention to confuse and distort the truth.

"Miss Dongfang, please—"

"Enough!"

A low, oppressively powerful voice sounded, causing Xiang Jinnan’s words to come to an abrupt stop.

Turning, he saw Qin Feimo expressionlessly staring at him and Dongfang Li.

"If you want to discuss personal matters, do it below deck."

His voice sounded seemingly cold and flat, but the slightly darkened face clearly showed his mood wasn’t great.

Dongfang Li, being who she is, naturally did not fear Qin Feimo. She smugly turned her lips upward, folded her arms, and turned away, no longer continuing the previous topic.
