The other party called once without getting through, then a second and third ti. Sheng Yi was worried sothing urgent had happened, so she ran to the bathroom door and shouted, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan."
Gu Yuan heard the noise this ti, turned off the noise-reducing hairdryer, and looked over, "What is it?"
Sheng Yi said, "Soone’s calling you with a voice call."
"Whose na is it?"
"Love You Till Death."
"..."
Before turning the hairdryer back on, Gu Yuan said, "It’s not soone important, you answer for ."
Since Gu Yuan said so, Sheng Yi picked up the call—
’Buzz’
[Connected] 00:01
"Hello."
A man’s voice ca through the receiver.
A very deep and heavy tone, just from the sound you could imagine the other person is a manly-looking guy, one with bursting hormones and biceps.
The imagery hit instantly.
Sheng Yi spoke too, "Hi."
She assud the other party wouldn’t recognize her right away, but after three seconds of silence, he directly asked her, "Who are you?"
Sheng Yi: ???
He asked again, "Where’s Gu Yuan?"
Sheng Yi: !!!
Impressive! He figured out she’s not the phone’s owner just from her voice.
Sheng Yi didn’t say who she was; she asked him first, "What do you want with Gu Yuan?"
The other party said nothing.
Sheng Yi continued, "Gu Yuan is currently unable to take the call; you can tell if it’s urgent, and I’ll pass it on to her. If it’s really important, you can call back in half an hour."
The other party remained silent.
The silence dragged on, making Sheng Yi think he had hung up, but the call screen was still lit. Who knows how long had passed when Gu Yuan, rubbing hair oil, ca out and saw Sheng Yi motionless on the bed like a little hamster, so Gu Yuan walked over.
Sheng Yi suddenly got up and said, "Yuanyuan, you finally ca out. This [Love You Till Death] person called you, didn’t hang up or say anything, and suddenly went mute."
But the mute person Sheng Yi ntioned spoke imdiately after Gu Yuan took the phone—
He said, "Miss Gu, I’ve been waiting for you."
Gu Yuan replied, "Sorry to keep you waiting, I was a little busy just now."
Sheng Yi: "..." !!!
Listening to this conversation, is there sothing going on between them??
Sheng Yi perked up her ears to eavesdrop.
"Young Master Quan, calling so late, is it sothing important?" Gu Yuan put the towel aside, holding the phone close to her ear with the other hand.
It wasn’t the first ti hearing Quan Jin’s voice; last ti at Xiangxilu, she had heard it through a stand-in’s phone.
He said, "My grandmother will be arriving in Sui City within the next two days."
The Quan Family Matriarch hadn’t told her this alone, so Gu Yuan didn’t know. Now that Quan Jin specifically inford her, Gu Yuan responded, "Looking forward to the old lady’s arrival."
The notification was complete, and she thought the call should end.
The other party suddenly said, "Last ti, I couldn’t co personally and stood up Miss Gu once, I feel quite sorry."
"No need to feel sorry," she said, her tone light.
He continued, "For this eting, the Quan Family will host, sincerely inviting Miss Gu for a conversation. May I boldly ask, what are Miss Gu’s dietary preferences? Like mint, bamboo shoots, coriander, do you avoid any of them?"
Since they’re hosting, asking about dietary preferences is appropriate.
Gu Yuan said, "I don’t have any dietary restrictions."
"Not even coriander?" he asked.
Gu Yuan frowned, vaguely sensing sothing was off...
