The more she thought, the more uneasy her heart became. Her face was pressed tightly against the door, straining to hear any sounds from outside.
She heard the familiar footsteps pass the master bedroom and then gradually fade away...
At last, Gu Qiangwei breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as her tense nerves had no time to relax, the sudden ring of a cell phone in the silent room sounded like a piercing thunderclap, startling Gu Qiangwei so much that her face instantly turned pale as she hurriedly looked down to press the mute button on the phone in her palm!
Despite her swift reaction, the piercing ringtone still penetrated the door and reached the ears of Qin Sijue, who was about to walk towards the balcony.
Hearing the sound, Qin Sijue stopped in his tracks, a frown creasing his brow.
Then he turned his head, looking towards the source of the sound.
After a two-second pause, he stepped forward, heading towards the master bedroom.
The ringing had come from there.
