Chapter 63 - 59: Keeping Your Secret
When emotions intensified, the phone rang, its illuminated screen conspicuous in the dark.
Shen Jianian’s mind was scattered, unable to gather her thoughts, so much so that she didn’t react until the phone rang for a long time. She was too tired to move.
"Your call, aren’t you going to answer it?" Fu Jichen’s voice was right by her ear, the warmth of his breath clearly perceptible.
As he said this, he had already turned over and picked up the phone beside her pillow.
Having been in the dark for a long time, the screen’s brightness was glaring. Fu Jichen instinctively squinted his eyes, a string of unnoted numbers appeared before him.
He connected the call, cleared his throat, still a bit hoarse: "Who is this?"
The person on the other end was noticeably taken aback, unsure asked: "Is it... Jianian?" She wondered if she had dialed the wrong number, brought the phone closer to confirm again, it was indeed Shen Jianian’s new number.
Earlier, Shen Jianian mentioned she wasn’t free and would contact later, Bai Changxia waited by her phone for a long time, never receiving a callback, so she couldn’t resist calling.
However, the person answering was a man, his voice deep and slightly hoarse.
Bai Changxia was a bit bewildered, why would there be a man by Jianian so late? And holding her phone.
She searched through all her memories, quite sure she hadn’t heard this man’s voice before.
"Shen Jianian is asleep, if there’s anything, let’s talk tomorrow." Fu Jichen didn’t know who this person was nor did he want to know.
