Munni was too lazy to get up to answer the phone, pretending to be dead and lying motionless on the bed.
However, the other party persistently continued to call her, and she finally showed impatience as she got up, picked up the bag thrown on the floor to find the phone, and saw Xu Yisen’s na and photo displayed on the screen.
She slightly raised her eyebrows, swiped her thumb to answer the call, and heard Yisen’s warm voice: "Munni, are you okay?"
In his nervous voice, it was clear that he had already learned about Zhao Yaru’s passing.
The emotions she’d held back for so long burst out when she heard his concerned greetings.
She stood barefoot on the carpet, tears falling from her eyes, dropping one by one onto the carpet.
Seeing her silent, not responding, Xu Yisen sighed softly, "Co and open the door."
Munni thought Xu Yisen had returned to the country; she sobbed and said hoarsely, "I’m not in China."
"I know, co open the door, I’m outside your room."
His warm voice transmitted through the phone reached Munni’s ears, she paused for two seconds, then ca to her senses and quickly walked to the living room outside, then went to the suite door.
Holding her phone to her ear, she stood on tiptoes and looked through the peephole to see the familiar figure standing outside, her chest filled with an unprecedented warmth.
She steadied herself, opened the door, facing Xu Yisen standing outside.
Munni hung up the phone, letting her right hand with the phone droop to one side, her eyes filled with grievance as she stared at Xu Yisen.
The mont the door opened, she carelessly dropped all her defenses, her moist black eyes showing sadness and grief, like a child abandoned by her parents, at a loss.
Xu Yisen reached out to pull her into his arms, his chin resting on her head, one hand on her back gently soothing her restless emotions.
Munni was instantly surrounded by the warm embrace, all the coldness in her heart lted away like early spring streams, bringing a gentle warmth, flowing slowly.
She buried her face in Xu Yisen’s chest, muttering in a muffled voice: "Thank you for coming."
"Silly girl."
Munni gently pushed away Xu Yisen who was hugging her, pointed to the room behind her, "Let’s go in."
Xu Yisen nodded and followed her inside the room.
Munni sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, holding a pillow in her hands, looking at Xu Yisen with confusion: "How did you know I ca to New York?"
Xu Yisen slightly raised his lips, answering without exaggeration: "The news of your going abroad probably spread to half of China."
"Huh?" Munni slightly raised her eyebrows, confused for a mont by his words, then realized soone might have seen her at the airport, secretly taken a photo, and posted it on Weibo.
"By the way, have the affairs in France been handled?"
Munni rembered that Xu Yisen originally planned to stay in France for a week, and now leaving early, she wondered if it would affect his work.
Knowing what she was thinking, Xu Yisen chuckled softly and nodded, "Pretty much taken care of, just didn’t attend today’s celebration party, it’s not a big deal."
"What about Secretary Tang?"
"He booked two rooms, went back to rest, by the way, my room is diagonally opposite yours."
"Okay." Munni casually nodded, then yawned, the drowsiness finally rising to her eyebrows, "Speaking of which, I’m tired too, why don’t you go back to your room to rest."
"I’ll leave once you’re asleep, I’m afraid you’ll be uneasy alone."
