The ringtone was cut off before it rang fully, and before She could speak, a displeased and noticeably hoarse deep male voice ca through the phone, "Did you hang up on ?"
"Cough, cough... No... I accidentally clicked hang up." To cover her embarrassnt, She told another small lie, knowing well she usually hated lies the most, but here with Lu Jingang, she constantly found herself breaking her own rule.
But after speaking, she found herself emboldened, and confidently said, "These days, you can choose not to answer my calls, not reply to my ssages; what’s wrong with hanging up once? Not blocking you is already considerate, and you still have the nerve to question ."
Lu Jingang raised his eyebrows, it’s only been a few days, and now she’s daring to openly challenge him?
"Aunt Qin said you went to Y Province a few days ago? Coming back this afternoon?" When there was suddenly no sound from the other side, She felt maybe she had been too harsh. Their relationship was actually quite delicate, even she couldn’t clearly define it, and her words seed like those of a girlfriend in a tantrum, which wasn’t her usual style, so she changed the topic.
"Yeah, arrived a bit after three in the afternoon, why? Sothing up?"
"Uh, no..." His counter-question made She feel a bit uneasy, but she also noticed the oddness in his voice, "Your voice... is it hoarse? I thought sothing was off just now."
"Are you worried about ?"
"No... Of course not, I... I was thinking if you caught in the rain the other day when you called ? Been wanting to ask how you were afterwards, but you neither answered calls nor replied to ssages. My leg’s been inconvenient these days to go to the company, only ca today, so... I’m asking." She inexplicably began to explain, and by the end of it, without knowing why, she felt insecure.
"How’s your leg?"
"Uh, changed the dicine yesterday afternoon, it’s slowly starting to heal and grow tissue."
"I’m hanging up."
"Ah?"
She was montarily stunned after hearing this, before she could react, the call was already hung up by Lu Jingang, leaving her in a state of shock alone.
On this side, after hanging up the call, Lu Jingang lifted his gaze to look at Qin Yu seated in the passenger seat, "Let’s not postpone the eting this afternoon, directly send out the notice!"
"Ah? Still set at the original ti, four thirty?"
"Yes."
"But... President Lu, didn’t you say you’d rest at ho after returning to Nancheng, have the family doctor look you over, your condition can’t be delayed further; a few days ago was just a cough, today your voice is hoarse, and you had a fever in the morning. It’s better to postpone the eting to tomorrow! You’ve not rested well these days in Y City, and the work intensity here is too high, your body can’t handle this." Qin Yu said in surprise but with concern on his face, looking at Lu Jingang’s pale complexion, he offered his suggestion.
Lu Jingang pursed his lips, "I’m fine."
"But..."
"Do as I say." Seeing Qin Yu about to speak further, Lu Jingang impatiently interrupted him, his gaze turning sharp.
Qin Yu was montarily at a loss for words, and could only follow his instructions, sending out notifications to the company departnts and specific departnts within Mu Group.
But he glanced back at Lu Jingang’s appearance, eyes closed, still feeling uneasy. After hesitating for so ti, he opened WeChat, clicked on the chat with She, and swiftly typed two lines of text, but hesitated when it ca ti to send it.
After a while, hearing a cough from behind him from Lu Jingang, he finally sent out that ssage.
