"...!" Just when Helian Chengyan was about to say something, the cell phone placed on the table suddenly rang out. Chi Xingye caught a glimpse of the incoming call in his peripherals. The caller ID displayed Gu Naimei; a sudden look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Helian Chengyan didn't hang up the call; instead, he picked the phone up after three rings.
Listening to the person on the other end of the phone, he simply hummed in response on multiple occasions before finally saying, "I'll be right over."
Chi Xingye's heart plummeted when he heard this, and he couldn't help but put on a self-mocking smile.
After ending the call, Helian Chengyan looked at Xingye starting to get up and walk inwards. His crimson eyes flashed as though he wanted to say something, but upon facing her cold departing figure, his words just resided in his throat, unable to come out.
He sighed, and the words that came out were merely, "I'll be back soon."
