After Er Niu went inside, Lin Chuan answered Zhou Rui's call.
"Xiao Rui." Once he connected the call, Lin Chuan knew he owed Zhou Rui an apology, and hurriedly said, "I've been really busy lately and haven't been able to care for you in time. You don't blame me, do you?"
It would be a lie to say Zhou Rui didn't have any resentment. Although she didn't hold a grudge against Lin Chuan or blame him in the slightest, being with Lin Chuan, and even bearing his child, was all her willing choice.
However, upon hearing Lin Chuan's apologetic voice over the phone, any trace of displeasure in her heart had vanished. She gently said, "I don't blame you. I called because I wanted to ask why you sent someone to protect me. I'm perfectly fine."
Lin Chuan couldn't tell her what Zhou Kai had shared, so he just said, "Xiao Rui, it's for your safety. Please don't overthink it."
