Ye Yuning naturally didn't want to return to the Ye family home at this time.
But the image of the well-preserved pocket watch cover in Xiao Linye's suitcase flickered through her mind.
She eventually responded with an "Mm" into the phone.
She hadn't said she would go back, nor had she said she wouldn't, yet this "Mm" instantly relieved Zheng Cai on the other end of the line.
"Then it's settled! You must come back tomorrow at noon. I'll have Housekeeper Zhang buy you a ten-year-old hen!"
In her excitement, what she said was somewhat unrealistic.
Ye Yuning was silent for a moment. A ten-year-old hen, she mused. She really could come up with anything.
Without responding to Zheng Cai's insincerity and exaggeration, Ye Yuning hung up.
On the other end, Zheng Cai heard the dial tone but wasn't angry.
Ye Shilong sat to one side, reading a newspaper.
Seeing her hang up, he asked, "How did it go? Did she agree to come back?"
