Xinyan just turned around, and unexpectedly, the phone rang again.
The old man who answered the phone called out to Xinyan, "Han, it's for you again."
Xinyan took the phone, "Who is this?"
He Jinxuan's voice came through the receiver, "Honey, it's me. Did Liyan call you?"
Xinyan smiled, "You must have timed this call just right. Why even ask me?"
He Jinxuan laughed out loud, "Liyan wants Mr. Ye to live with us, but I refused. I was just afraid he might bring it up with you."
Xinyan understood now. This man was worried she'd feel awkward and agree. "You're just speaking after the fact. If Liyan had mentioned it and I agreed, what good would your call do now?"
He Jinxuan quickly explained, "I just said a few words to the people below, then hurried to call you, but the line was busy."
Xinyan teased with a smile, "Alright, stop explaining. Explaining is just covering up. In the end, I'm still behind your career."
