Nan Jiaojiao completely ignored the caller, disconnecting the call and placing her phone on the table, bringing the hotter rice from the bottom of the clay pot to the top.
Shen Shichu stared at the screen, his face dark and foreboding, as he anxiously tugged at the lapel of his suit, intending to call Nan Jiaojiao back.

Ye Shiqing wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head intimately against his chest, whining, "You've been out so long, mom and dad are worried. They sent me to find you."
Shen Shichu grabbed her shoulders, trying to push her away.
He never flirted with Ye Shiqing in public, but the situation was now different, and he needed the Ye Family's support more than ever. Hesitating for a moment, as Ye Shiqing nestled herself into his arms, he naturally wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Why aren't you wearing a coat when you came out?"
"I was in a hurry."
