Chapter 169: Humbly Begging Nan Qiao

The night was deep, and Zhou Hongqi felt no inclination to sleep.

He held his cellphone, dialing Nan Qiao's number.

The call from an unfamiliar number went through, and Nan Qiao answered.

Zhou Hongqi spoke urgently, "Qiaoqiao, it's Dad. I have something I want to talk to you about."

Nan Qiao decisively hung up the phone.

Not to be discouraged, Zhou Hongqi took out another cellphone to call Nan Qiao.

"Qiaoqiao, Dad really has something to say to you, can you not hang up, please?"

As expected, Nan Qiao hung up the phone once again.

Zhou Hongqi persisted, dialing again and again; she blocked each number he called from.

By the sixth call, Nan Qiao didn't hang up but her voice was cold as she asked, "Zhou Hongqi, cut to the chase, what do you want to say!"

The manner of Nan Qiao let Zhou Hongqi's heart chill by a half, his hand gripping the phone ever tighter.

Zhou Hongqi squeezed out a warm smile on his face, his voice similarly gentle.
