Chapter 34: Guilty Conscience of a Thief

Chen Ningxi held her forehead in embarrassment, making a fuss over the phone with Cheng Qiaobei late at night, crying and stomping her feet.

"Annoying."

But after disturbing him so late, I had to at least call to apologize. Yet my hand hesitated to dial, fearing another bout of his mockery if he answered. However, issues had to be faced.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Ningxi thought, "Fine, let it be."

She held the phone to her ear, her heartbeat accelerating with the connection tones, which went on for a long time before being answered.

"Hello?"

"..." He hadn't woken up yet.

Chen Ningxi licked her dry lips and asked tentatively, "Manager Cheng, you haven't woken up yet?"

Cheng Qiaobei gave a grunt of acknowledgment.

Never in her life had Chen Ningxi done something so embarrassing, she inquired with a forced laugh, "Hehe, sorry for disturbing you so early, Manager Cheng. I wanted to ask if I called you last night?"

Cheng Qiaobei: "Heh."

"..." What does 'heh' mean?
