Return to the City: The Strongest King

Shen Ruoqing didn’t answer the phone, but it kept ringing insistently. Lin Su’er said hastily, "Reporter Shen, maybe it’s an emergency. Don’t delay, you should answer it first."

Shen Ruoqing initially wanted to turn off her phone, but she was afraid that her daughter at home might be scared and calling her, so she dared not turn it off. Being constantly harassed this way clearly showed disrespect towards Song Xiaodong and the others.

After hesitating for a moment, she picked up her phone and said, "I’m really sorry, then I’ll step out to take this call."

"Go ahead."

After Shen Ruoqing left, Lin Su’er immediately whispered, "She seems to be in some kind of trouble, right?"

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "At the very least, she doesn’t seem eager to answer this call."

Lin Su’er quickly said, "Should we help her then?"

Song Xiaodong said, "We don’t know what she’s dealing with. How can we help? And some things aren’t as simple as wanting to help. Just like certain family problems, even a fair official would find it hard to settle domestic issues. We don’t even know who’s in the right or wrong. If we intervene, it’s very likely we might make things worse."

Lin Su’er nodded and said, "Oh, I see, you’re right. Maybe they’re just a couple arguing and they’re just in the heat of the moment. Sometimes people cannot stand each other, but they reconcile right after fighting."

Song Xiaodong leaned in close to Lin Su’er’s face, smiling, and said, "Then, might we also fight in bed and make up at the end of it?"
