Chapter 1287. If Only You Were Here 4
His eyes immediately softened as he quickly clicked on the voice note. Her clear and familiar voice came through.
“Mr. Mu, I know you’re very tired…If you feel like it’s all too much, come home. Worst comes to worst…worst comes to worst, we’ll just stop caring about everything, and I’ll take care of you…Hearing your worn-out voice makes me sad…” Xi Xiaye’s voice contained a hint of concern that could not be concealed.
With the husband and wife separated by thousands of miles, Xi Xiaye would not know that a few simple words could instantly move Mu Yuchen to the point that warmth flowed through his heart as if the dry ground was suddenly drenched by a gentle dash of rain.
He thought about it, and could not help his heart’s urges. Without caring that it was past midnight where she was, he called her right away.
With Zhou Zimo around earlier, it had not been very convenient for them to talk, so he hung up after a while, but now, he could not help but miss her.
The phone only rang twice when Xi Xiaye picked up. At the moment, she was still in front of her desk reading through Fuhua’s data from the last quarter.
“Aren’t you asleep yet? It’s late.” The man’s low and hoarse voice was quickly heard.
It had been close to two months, and Xi Xiaye was used to the two of them talking idly late at night. She switched the phone to her left hand as she flipped through her documents and responded, “I’m looking at last quarter’s numbers. Mr. Mu, let’s not talk about anything else tonight. Let’s just talk, okay?”
She knew that investigating those matters would take some time too, thus Xi Xiaye did not want to talk about them. She just wanted to talk to him or maybe hear him talk. This thought just suddenly sprang into her mind, so she had sent him a voice note earlier.
