Chapter 291: They Have a Shared Secret
Si Weimin was drawn by her words. Approaching, he discovered that the incoming call had Li City’s area code. He was stunned for a moment, his face quickly became peculiar.
Yuan Caizhen greeted again and seeing no one answered, was preparing to hang up. However, Si Weimin took the phone from her. No one answered yet, so he tentatively called out, "Sister-in-law, is that you?"
"Sister-in-law?" Yuan Caizhen exclaimed in surprise.
Si Weimin motioned for his wife to be quiet, and then directed his question at the phone again: "Sister-in-law, is it you? This is Weimin."
Just after he spoke, a disoriented voice came from the other end, carrying a slight tremor. "Weimin, it’s really you! I... I heard a woman’s voice just now and thought I dialed the wrong number. Look, after so many years, I can’t recognize your voice anymore."
Confirming it was Lin Fengying, Si Weimin could not express the mix of emotions inside. He feigned nonchalance on his face, "That was Caizhen who picked up the phone just now. She is my wife."
"Oh! You are married? Look, such a big thing, Xiaochen and Boyi didn’t even mention it to me. It’s good you’re married. It’s good you’re married." Whether she was relieved that her brother-in-law was married, or for some other reason, Lin Fengying’s smile was awkward. It was as if she didn’t know what to say.
Upon hearing that it really was his sister-in-law, Yuan Caizhen hurriedly took the phone back from Si Weimin and politely said, "Hello sister-in-law, I am Caizhen. I didn’t know it was you just now. I was a bit impolite. I hope you don’t mind."
