When Xiao Gousheng returned, his face was filled with anger. "Mother, that wretch's house was as dark as outside, obviously he was already asleep! And here we've been foolishly waiting this whole time!"
Xiao Chen's felt a surge of anger that sent her reeling backward, utterly shocked that Xiao Changyi couldn't be called back.
She had thought that as soon as she spoke up, Xiao Changyi would surely return. Even if he didn't come back immediately, he would definitely come to see her at night. But who would have known that Xiao Changyi would simply go to sleep and ignore her completely, treating her words as if they meant nothing!
And that night, just as An Jing had predicted, Xiao Chen's indeed spent the whole night wide awake, fuming.
The next morning, before it was fully light, Xiao Chen's got up early. This time, she didn't send Hehua but directly asked Xiao Gousheng to go and call Xiao Changyi back again; she simply refused to believe that Xiao Changyi would not return.
