Bab 64: Chapter 64 Apology 1_1

As soon as the call connected, Zuo Xingyun's magnetic voice came through, "What's the matter?"

Most people start a phone call with "hello," but his opening question, "What's the matter?" made things feel strangely distant. Xiang Wan also grew tense.

Being watched by Shi Nian'an, she couldn't possibly back down at this moment, so she adopted an attitude of seeking guidance, asking cautiously, "I wanted to ask you about something..."

Before she could finish, Zuo Xingyun cut her off: "We'll talk when I get home; I'm busy right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the call was hung up.

She turned to Shi Nian'an and forced an awkward smile, "He's busy, told me we'll talk when I get home."

Shi Nian'an felt somewhat disheartened, "Well, it can't be helped, we'll ask later. I'm just too impatient sometimes. I should have realized he'd be busy. People like him rarely have free time."
