There was silence, and then Chu Liangxia blinked, "What about you?"
"Honest answer?" Ling Xize countered.
"Uh," Chu Liangxia said, "put out your cigarette first before speaking."
"..."
Ling Xize was about to end the call.
"Finish your sentence before hanging up," Chu Liangxia reminded softly.
There was a pause on the other end, and then, Ling Xize said earnestly, "Actually, you really are my illegitimate daughter..."
"Scram——"
Chu Liangxia hung up before he could finish.
On the other side.
Ling Xize stood on the balcony, glanced at his phone, put out his cigarette, and waited a few seconds.
As expected, Chu Liangxia's call came through again.
He casually accepted the call.
Just as he brought the phone to his ear, he heard Chu Liangxia's somewhat distressed voice, "I'm good-looking, talented, I can cook and tell fortunes, isn't it normal to like me?"
"It's very normal."
Ling Xize expressed his agreement.
