Everyone in the office stood in front of Chu Liyuanâs desk, trembling and with heads bowed, none daring to utter a sound.
Chu Liyuan sat in his office chair with a dark expression, scrutinizing the people before him.
The temperature in the entire office felt as low as if it were located at the North Pole.
Just when everyone thought they were about to meet the God of Death, the cell phone on Chu Liyuanâs desk rang.
After glancing at the phone, Chu Liyuanâs tightly furrowed brows loosened slightly. He picked up the phone and walked out of the office, not forgetting to leave instructions with Chu Li: âThe rest is up to you!â
Chu Li naturally knew who the call was from; likely, in this world, only she could make Mr. Chu put down his work.
âHello~â Chu Liyuanâs voice had none of the harshness from just moments ago in the office, but instead was soft and tender.
This was the first time Jian Jian had taken the initiative to call him since heâd been on his business trip, wasnât it?
Previously, Jian Jian did not want to disturb his work, so she had waited for him to send her messages.
âUncle~ did I disturb your work?â Jian Dan asked carefully as soon as the call connected.
âNo!â Such gentleness from Chu Liyuan was probably something only Jian Dan had seen, right?
âThatâs good! Uncle, are you working too hard? Are you eating and sleeping on time?â
âYes!â
âReally?â
âJust occasionally sleeping a bit late!â
âUncle, you need to take better care of yourself, okay?â
âFor you and our baby, I definitely will!â
âMmm! By the way, Uncle, how much longer until youâll be back? Iâve missed you so much these past few days.â
âIâll probably need a few more days!â Chu Liyuan missed Jian Jian terribly too and truly wished he could fly to her side right now, but the current situation was a bit complicated, so he needed to stay and handle it personally.
âOh~â Jian Dan couldnât hide the disappointment in her voice.
âJian Jian, take good care of yourself. Iâll be back soon!â
âOkay! Iâll wait here for you to come back, behaving myself!â
âMmm! Behave!â
âUncle, thereâs something I want to tell you.â
âWhat is it?â
âToday, I made a new friend!â
âMmm! Youâve always been good at making friends.â
âSince Uncle and I are husband and wife, naturally, I wanted to let you know!â
âWhen have I ever interfered with Jian Jian making friends?â Chu Liyuan laughed.
âThat friend isâ¦â Just as Jian Dan was about to tell Uncle the personâs identity, she was interrupted by Chu Li.
âJian Jian, I need to get back to work now, weâll talk when I get back!â
âOh!â
Uncle hastily hung up the phone~
Jian Dan looked at the disconnected call and thought: It seems this issue is really thorny! Otherwise, Uncle wouldnât have been gone for so long!
She hoped Uncle wouldnât be too exhausted!
After hanging up, Jian Dan lay down on her bed and unknowingly fell asleepâ¦n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The next day, the anticipated news did not appear on the news, presumably due to Huo Siyuâs emergency intervention.
Since someone had already handled it, Jian Dan naturally could relax.
As the training camp was conducted under closed conditions, she hadnât seen Huo Siyu since that day.
Moreover, the training camp was so busy that, aside from video chatting with Uncle, she didnât have the energy to devote to anyone else.
Though she was tired, it was fulfilling and somewhat filled the void of Uncleâs absence.
