Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Chengze walked out of the apartnt and back to his car. The phone that he left inside it would not stop ringing.
Seeing the na blinking on the screen, he had no desire to pick it up.
The ringtone seed to be assaulting him on purpose. The more he tried to ignore it, the more it rang. Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to answer it.
“Hello, Chengze. Why didn’t you pick up when I called? Where are you? When are you coming back?” Tan Xiaoling’s voice was as gentle as water. She sounded like she was both hurried and eager to please.
Her voice would usually soothe Lin Chengze. However, rembering what she did, he was rather disgusted. He did not even notice that he was slowly having a change of heart.
Xia Yishan was a straightforward person. She would say just what she ant. She was stingy with her words and an. Listening to her was effortless as he could understand what she was trying to say instantly.
In comparison, Tan Xiaoling would beat around the bush in every sentence. Although she sounded sweet, it was not all nice things. It was even harder for him to forgive her when she had gone behind his back and ruined his plan!
When Lin Chengze did not reply, Tan Xiaoling urged him to speak up, “Why aren’t you talking? Chengze, are you listening?”
“Anything?”
Tan Xiaoling sounded like she was crying after hearing his peculiar tone, “Are you busy, Chengze? I’m sorry to have disturbed you. It’s been a few days since you ca ho. I’m scared to be living alone. I miss you so much, that’s why I’m calling you. I didn’t an to disturb you…”
Tan Xiaoling sounded like she was choking, making Lin Chengze weak. He did not want to argue at the mont, so he rely complained, “You’re no longer a child. What’s there to be scared about?”
“I-It makes sense that I’m scared since I’m living in a big house by myself. Chengze, I’m a girl from a village. I’m timid…”
‘Hah, timid…’
Lin Chengze was skeptical as to whether this frail girl was lying or telling the truth.
They were adults. This excuse was just too la.
“I’m on a business trip. I won’t be going ho for a few days.”
“It was a last-minute business trip?” Tan Xiaoling was already suspicious. n would usually use the sa excuses for not coming ho. It was either “entertaining” or “on a business trip”.
“Yes.”
“When did this happen? How co I don’t know about it?”
“It was a last-minute decision by the company!”
“Alright. I don’t an to pry or anything. Don’t overthink. When are you coming back? I’ll pick you up?”
Her words annoyed Lin Chengze. “I’ll visit you when I’m back. Behave yourself and stay ho. Don’t et people that you shouldn’t see. Don’t stir up trouble for . Alright, I’m hanging up.”
He ended the call.
A Maybach drove past him and into the apartnt.
Lin Chengze looked at the car again. People who were well-versed in cars would know that a Maybach’s specifications were ridiculously high.
Such a luxurious car went into such a lackluster apartnt? Could it be a hidden tycoon?!
After Lin Chengze hung up on her, Tan Xiaoling bashed her phone against the wall, smashing it to pieces.
“What did he an by ‘behave myself and stay ho’? Don’t et people that I shouldn’t see, and don’t stir up trouble for him?!”
When did she misbehave? When did she et anyone that she should not see? When did she stir up trouble?!
Her woman’s intuition told her that there was definitely sothing fishy going on with Lin Chengze!
Her intuition told her that this most probably had sothing to do with Xia Yishan! She must have found out sothing and sowed discord in front of Lin Chengze on purpose.
He found out about Tan Xiaoling’s little trick on his shirt the last ti. He was already mad with her. She had to be careful this ti!
A fierce expression appeared in her eyes. She quickly went to a shopping mall and bought a new phone.. She made a call…
