Chapter 34: Guilty Conscience of a Thief

Chen Ningxi held her forehead in embarrassment, chatting on the phone with Cheng Qiaobei late at night, angrily stomping her foot while whining.

"So annoying."

But calling him so late at night required an apology, yet her hand refused to press the call button, fearing he'd make fun of her again once she connected. Still, problems had to be faced.

Chen Ningxi gathered her courage, "If I must die, so be it."

She put the phone to her ear, her heartbeat quickening with the connecting sound, and it was a long time before he picked up.

"Hello?"

"..." He was not fully awake yet.

Chen Ningxi licked her dry lips and cautiously asked, "Manager Cheng, are you still asleep?"

Cheng Qiaobei murmured in response.

Chen Ningxi thought she had never done anything so embarrassing in her life and forced a smile, "Ha ha, Manager Cheng, sorry to disturb you so early. I wanted to ask, did I call you last night?"

Cheng Qiaobei, "Ha."

"..." What did 'ha' mean?
