Upon hearing the door closing, Ye Yujun leaned back in her chair and stared intently at the door, asking, "Did Cheng leave?"
"...Ah, he left."
Chen Ningxi's heart was still pounding, not yet calmed. Hearing her mother's voice, she was afraid her disheveled state would be noticed, so she changed her slippers and headed straight for the bedroom.
Ye Yujun was texting Chen Weichuan, but glanced at her retreating figure before lowering her head to continue, softly turning her back and saying so Ningxi wouldn't hear:
"I think Cheng is really nice to Ningxi..."
After Chen Ningxi closed the door, she couldn't care less about her mother reporting to her dad. She threw herself on the bed, her mind filled with Chen Qiaobei.
Her phone rang. Chen Ningxi picked it up to see a voice message from Cheng Qiaobei.
"What now?"
She played the message, which said, "I'm on the freeway."
"...Thought it was something else."
But Chen Ningxi still responded.
