Chapter 56: Born into a Humble Family (Part 2)

Taking Zhao Tan's phone, Cen Ye rose to his feet and walked towards a quiet area outside the bar, while Zhao Tan chuckled from behind, "Who are you hiding to call?" Cen Ye, also laughing, didn't respond. Arriving at the back door of the bar, he stood beside an old earthen wall in the dirty and wet alley, elbow propped against the wall, head bowed down, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, except for the "beep—beep—" of the dial tone by his ear.

Ringing over ten times on such a festive day, the call finally connected.

"Happy New Year, TanzI," Xu Xunsheng's voice was warm and polite, with a hidden smile.

Instantly, Cen Ye chuckled, his breath misting on the phone.

"Is that all you think about, TanzI? It's me," he said, "That heartless guy probably went off who-knows-where to flirt and wouldn't think to call you."
