He An received a call from Kang Jinxian; it only took two rings before he answered, and she couldn't help but wonder—was it already four in the morning and He An hadn't slept yet?
She didn't speak first but started crying instead; her sobs sounded so pitiful. After a while, she realized something was off; He An had been silent the whole time, which was strange because he would have usually comforted her by now.
"He An, aren't you going to ask me why I'm crying? You said you'd treat me well for a lifetime, but now you don't even care about me," she said with a tone full of resentment.
"Why didn't you answer my call last night?" He An's voice was cold, sending a shiver through Kang Jinxian's heart. She thought maybe He An hadn't slept well; everyone gets a bit grumpy when they wake up, but taking it out on her was not okay.
