Chapter 972 - The person on the phone with her was him.
“Ziming, frankly speaking, Little Chili isn’t a petty person; plus, she loves you so much. She might be angry at you, but she wouldn’t think that you abandoned her and regretted the marriage. You should just rest well tonight so that you’ll be in great form tomorrow to explain it well to her. She won’t be angry.”
Mu Heng patiently comforted his childhood friend. He could finally see how much the man loved Pei Ge and how much he cared for her!
His best friend, as well as closest childhood friend, was such an arrogant person. Now, his arrogance was nowhere to be seen when it came to that woman.
“I understand.”
Without waiting for further response from him, the man hung up the phone.
“…You should think about how to explain to Little Chili tomorrow—” Where you’ve been these few days and why was your phone turned off.
Du, du, du! He heard this sound before he could finish speaking.
Something seemed off about her daughter these past few days!
“Nothing much; I just woke up, so I’m still out of it.”
Her daughter sniffed and shook her head while smiling.
“Really?”
She looked at her daughter askance. “Is there… something that you’re hiding from me?”
“Huh? Nothing.” As she gave this answer, her daughter picked up a bowl and began having porridge.
Despite her suspicions, she did not press the issue further.
“Right, is Xiao Ji back from his business trip already?”
Eating yet another fried dough stick, she thought of her daughter’s groom who had gone on a business trip.
“Yes, he’ll probably be back today,” answered Pei Ge lightly as she recalled the man’s call last night.
“What do you mean by probably?”
Getting this vague answer, her mother frowned in displeasure.
“I didn’t ask, though he called me at midnight, so he should be back today.”
She put down her porridge and smiled at her mother.
“Oh, so Xiao Ji already called you. That means he’ll be back today.”
Feeling relieved, her mother nodded and joked, “I nearly thought that that boy ran away! Ha ha!”
When she heard her mother’s joke, her mouth twitched as she complained internally, Tsk! That bastard has caused such trouble for the people around me. Should I… ‘repay’ him handsomely?
…
“Ah, Ji Ziming! Do you know what time it is right now?! What’s the matter again! After you hung up on me, I only slept for three hours! Can’t you let me off?! I’m not your relationship adviser!”
“…Last night, Pei Ge was on the phone with someone for two hours.”
“So what?!”
“I got someone to check and the call was with Mingxuan.”
“…What?!”
