At this crucial moment, Huo Mian's phone rang. What a bad time...
Qin Chu's movements stopped...
"Uh… I got a call," said Huo Mian, a bit awkwardly.
Qin Chu lightly sighed, stood up, and passed the phone that was resting on the coffee table to Huo Mian.
It was from Jing Zhixin...
"Zhixin?"
"Sis, did you get home yet?"
"Mhm, I did. What's up?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you to not worry. I won't tell mom. Even if you didn't tell me, I would've guessed. After you broke up with Ning Zhiyuan, he called me twice. I had a feeling that it was because of Qin Chu, and I became even more sure about it when his company gave me a car last time."
"Sorry, Zhixin. I didn't mean to hide it from you."
