After breakfast, Su Qingsang spent a while sitting with Old Master Li. Then, she used going to the bathroom as an excuse and hid in a corner to call Huo Jinyao.
It was finally Old Master Li's birthday that day. She still hoped that Huo Jinyao would make it to the birthday party.
Since Huo Jinyao didn't show up last night, she figured that he probably couldn't make it anymore.
She trusted that he would never let her come back to Lin City alone to celebrate Old Master Li's birthday if there wasn't something really important to do.
But still, she wished that he would come before the party began, even though she was already aware that Huo Jinyao probably didn't have the time for that.
"Jinyao?" The moment the call was answered, Su Qingsang couldn't hide her nervousness.
"Darling, I was so busy last night that I forgot to call you."
"It's okay." Through the phone, Su Qingsang found Huo Jinyao's voice to be slightly dry.
