Han Qiqing, who had been following Yin Shaojie, saw the person too. Her eyes widened and she exclaimed, âSu Lin, its you?!â
Behind the office table sat a beautiful and charming girl. Her long curly hair looked as pretty as begonias and she looked exquisitely dressed as her oval face beamed.
âHello, isnât it a surprise to see me?â
Yin Shaojie looked down and saw that he had been hung up on. He returned the phone to Han Qiqing and strode over to his table and took his phone.
He frowned as he looked at Su Lin. âHow did you get in?â
He clearly recalled having locked the door.
Su Lin shrugged. âYou didnât lock the door. I just walked in.â
Yin Shaojie was a hundred percent sure that he had locked the door.
Could it be that she had a copy of his office key?
Su Lin looked at the phone in his hand. Without waiting for his explanation, she volunteered, âXiaoxiao called just now. I thought that she might have been looking for you urgently, and so I took the call for you. However, it seemed like Xiaoxiao couldnât recognize my voice and she seemed really angry, and hung up on me before I could finish speaking.â
âXiaoxiaoâs temper seems to have gotten worse these few years while I was apart from her,â she said in a joking manner.
However, no one laughed with her.
Han Qiqing was a little displeased. âWhatever it is, you canât just take someoneâs calls without permission!â
She was a little worried that Xiaoxiao would misunderstand Yin Shaojie.
She had even said that Yin Shaojie had hidden a girl in his office, and she knew that Xiaoxiao was angry from her voice.
Su Lin was apologetic. âI didnât do it on purpose. I was happy when I saw it was Xiaoxiao, and I wanted to tell her that we havenât seen each other for a while. I wanted to talk to her for a bit and have dinner together tonight. Oh yeah, letâs have a welcome home dinner together tonight for me. Shaojie, what do you say?â
Yin Shaojie didnât answer, but turned around and walked over. He dialed Mu Xiaoxiaoâs number as he walked.
In the classroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone in anger, waiting for him to call back. Unexpectedly, not only did he not call back as soon as possible, he didnât even call her even after she waited for a few minutes.
Mu Xiaoxiao put her head on the table huffily.
Just then, her cell phone rang.
Mu Xiaoxiao jolted up instantly. She saw from the caller ID that it was Yin Shaojie.
Had he gotten his phone back?
Or⦠was it the girl who was calling?
She paused, but didnât pick it up immediately. Instead, she harrumphed and hung up on him deliberately.
Yin Shaojie looked at the rejected call and frowned. He thought of smacking her butt for not letting him explain and continuing to be angry at him.
He exercised patience and called once more.
It was only Mu Xiaoxiao who received such special treatment. If she were someone else, Yin Shaojie wouldnât have called back.
This time, the phone rang for a long while.
Upon seeing that he had called back in only a few seconds, she smiled.
However, she didnât pick it up immediately. Placing the phone in front of her, she cupped her chin and looked at the name that was showing on the phone and listened to the connecting tone.
She waited for a long while before swiping her screen to pick up the call.
âHello,â she said emotionlessly.
A low, magnetic voice rang out from the other side of the phone. âThe matter has been cleared up. Do you want to hear me out?â
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed and pouted. She still sounded a little plaintive as she answered, âYes.â
Yin Shaojie kept up his gentle tone and said, âDo you want me to tell you over the phone or in person?â
