It's Really Only You (3)

Qiao Qiao was about to cry again. "Bae, every word you say pokes at my heart."

Li Xiwu chuckled. "Make a decision."

The call fell silent. There was no sound from Qiao Qiao's end at all. Li Xiwu was in no hurry and waited patiently. About a minute later, she heard Qiao Qiao sniffle. Then, she heard Qiao Qiao say, "I know what to do. I'll hang up first."

Li Xiwu nodded. "Don't stay up late. Go to bed early."

The call ended.

Li Xiwu stared at the cell phone in a daze for a few seconds until Pei Jingzhou reached over and took the phone away. "It's time to sleep."

Li Xiwu turned to look at him. "Did you hear everything?"

Pei Jingzhou placed his phone on the bedside table. "Obviously."

Li Xiwu moved closer to him. "Then what do you think?"

Pei Jingzhou took off her coat. "An upright official will have difficulties resolving family matters." With that, he pulled her to lie down.
