An Ge furrowed her brows and asked, "How long will it take?"
Huo Shaoyan replied, "One phone call, at most five minutes to settle it."
An Ge said, "Alright then."
Huo Shaoyan took her hand to avoid the crowd and led her to a dam with a broader view but fewer people.
He took out his phone and made a call. An Ge felt the river breeze stretching every hair on her body.
She liked this comfortable river breeze, her whole body relaxed as she leaned against the railing, her soft brows and eyes gazing faintly at the dazzling river lights.
Huo Shaoyan finished the call quickly.
When he turned around after the call, he saw An Ge completely relaxed.
The neon lights of the riverbank cast mottled shadows on her face, making her appear serene and still.
Huo Shaoyan's heart stirred. Taking a few steps forward, he circled her waist from behind.
He pulled her into his embrace, a gesture of intimacy usually reserved for lovers—one that no longer suited their relationship.
