Chương 1489: Surprise

Ming Lan picked up her phone and seeing the name on the screen, her excitement vanished. "Lian! I thought it's him," she mumbled and received the call. 

"Why are you troubling me at this hour instead of troubling my brother, Ms Lu?" Ming Lan frowned. 

"Mrs Wen, I thought you must be feeling lonely and missing your husband in his absence so I thought to not let you feel lonely," came Lu Lian's voice from the other side of the line. 

Ming Lan sighed, "It sure feels lonely in this room."

"He will be back soon," Lu Lian assured and asked, "How was your day with in-laws after such a long time away from home?"

"It was good. I got to spend a nice time with Liwei and we talked about various things. She is so sweet."

"Hmm, she is. But why are you sounding so low?"
