Chapter 96

That crisp female voice suddenly came into Su Ruoyun's ears from the other end of the phone. She was instantly stunned. Before she could react, her hand slipped, her finger pressed the hang-up button directly, and then, her hand shook again, and the phone smashed straight onto the top of "Panda's" head.

A soft "meow" sounded. The kitten was hit in pain. It shook its head violently by reflex.

The phone that fell on the fat cat's back flew out and fell onto the fluffy carpet, sinking into the softness silently. Fortunately, there was a carpet as a buffer, and the phone was fine.

Su Ruoyun didn't immediately bend down to pick up the phone on the ground, but stood there as if fixed by a spell, her eyes straight, her thoughts drifting away, thinking blankly.

A woman's voice? When did her brother have a woman by his side?

There was no female assistant by Su Mingyan's side, and it was late at night, so the person who could help him answer the phone must be someone with an extraordinary relationship with him.

Her eyelashes trembled, she blinked, and after a good while, she recovered from the shock of her brother having a woman by his side. Accompanied by a long breath, she bent down to pick up her phone.

The phone screen lit up automatically, still showing the call record page. Six minutes had passed, and the person on the other end hadn't called back.

Su Ruoyun just wanted to throw this matter behind her and pretend nothing happened, when a crisp and pleasant phone ring sounded in the room again.

Seeing the remark name that appeared on the screen again, she felt panicked in her heart, her fingers hesitating above the button, and finally, she chose to swipe the answer button.

Su Ruoyun issued a "hello" tentatively.

"Hello."

This time, it was no longer a cold female voice on the other end of the phone, but Su Mingyan's familiar and steady voice. The moment she heard it, Su Ruoyun's tense heart finally relaxed.

"What's the matter with calling me?" He had a listless Jing accent.

Su Ruoyun's eyes turned, didn't answer his question immediately, but asked back: "Where are you now?"

"... Is this answer important?" Su Mingyan was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Hmm, it's important, it relates to how I'm going to tell you about finding you next."

Although the two were just on the phone, knowing that Su Mingyan on the other end of the phone couldn't see her, Su Ruoyun still nodded heavily subconsciously.

Hearing this, Su Mingyan changed his hand to hold the phone without a trace, pressed the phone against his right ear, his gaze falling on the person on the opposite sofa, his expression flickering for a moment.

He didn't answer Su Ruoyun directly, but his tone was light, cleverly circuitously saying: "Didn't you already answer the phone just now?"

"I..." Su Ruoyun stammered, speechless for a moment. She just heard a simple "hello," and then her hand slipped and hung up the phone. What kind of tricks could she hear from this.

She curled her lips, simply broke the jar, no longer covering up, and threw out the words she really wanted to ask directly: "How are you and that Miss Jiang getting along now?"

Fighting with Su Mingyan was too tiring.

Su Mingyan's eyes flickered, looking at the woman pretending to be busy meaningfully, deliberately dragging his tone, repeating Su Ruoyun's words: "How far have I and that Miss Jiang progressed?"

His tone paused slightly, and suddenly a light laugh, "This depends on how far she admits it."

The next second, a busy tone came from the earpiece.

"..." Su Mingyan.

Su Ruoyun on this end of the phone, after listening to what Su Mingyan said, pressed the hang-up button without hesitation, then touched the goosebumps on her hand. Her brother spoke so demonically, that Miss Jiang must be by his side.

She shook her head, trying to shake Su Mingyan's words out of her head.

"Panda," who had been forgotten on the sofa for a long time, let out a dissatisfied "meow~" softly. The soft call was full of grievances. After calling, it tried to stretch out its cat claws and pull Su Ruoyun's hand.

Su Ruoyun finally came back to her senses, hurriedly lowered her head, her fingertips gently stroking "Panda's" chin, scratching it one by one, "Okay, okay, go to sleep with Mom."

On the other side, Su Mingyan still maintained the posture of answering the phone. Jiang Xihan was still by his side. He didn't want to lose too much face, so he pretended to be still on the call, responded three or five times casually, and then pressed the hang-up button pretentiously.

Jiang Xihan was still flipping through an academic journal on her lap, seemingly not caring much about Su Mingyan. Seeing him hang up the phone, she put the book on the coffee table, her tone flat: "Are you leaving?"

"In such a hurry to drive me away?"

As he said, Su Mingyan raised his hand, opened his collar slightly, and put the phone back into the pocket inside his suit jacket.

"Otherwise?" She turned her head, her gaze falling on him calmly, her expression showing no waves.

Su Mingyan laughed when he heard it, his deep brows and eyes stained with a hint of smile, "So ruthless, just sent you a set of refrigerator magnets?"

Mentioning the refrigerator magnets, Jiang Xihan's attitude softened, but not much, only a little bit.

"If you want to take them back, I don't mind?"

"Sent to you, it's yours, how can there be any reason to take them back..."

Before Su Mingyan finished speaking, Jiang Xihan interrupted him and asked again: "When are you leaving?"

"..." Su Mingyan.

"Sit for a while longer, isn't it okay?" The words overflowed from his lips. Clearly, they were vaguely pleading words, but his expression was calm, completely unable to see a trace of humility.

Jiang Xihan didn't answer him, but took direct action.

The distance between the door and the living room was short. She got up from the sofa, walked to the door, and held the doorknob.

Su Mingyan didn't want to leave so early, but seeing Jiang Xihan standing at the door stubbornly, afraid that her legs would be sore if she stood for too long, he had to give up.

He got up unhurriedly and walked toward the door leisurely.

The movement was visibly slow, as if it were slowed down three times, but there was always someone to cure him.

At a distance of one step away, Jiang Xihan saw Su Mingyan dawdling, reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and pulled him out directly.

The next second, the door was about to be closed, and Su Mingyan was about to be shut out.

I saw a long leg wearing crisp suit pants stretch forward, and the leather shoe stepped directly on the threshold, blocking the trend of the door about to close.

"What's the rush, haven't said goodnight yet?"

Jiang Xihan looked at his "shameless" appearance and said a fatal sentence flatly.

"Actually, your performance of pretending to answer the phone was quite clumsy."

"..." Su Mingyan.
