For these social obligations, he really feels exhausted, not wanting to stay a second longer, eager to go back and be with Gu Nanqiao and the child.
His finger swiped across the answer button, "Hello."
Just a simple word, yet all fatigue dissipated, and a joyful smile touched his eyes and eyebrows.
Even his voice relaxed a lot, no longer tense like before.
Gu Nanqiao tightly held the phone in her palm; her voice couldn't relax like his, "Are you still not done with the social events?"
"Hmm, it's a bit complicated, but it's almost over."
She opened her mouth, some words almost at the tip of her tongue, yet she couldn't easily utter them.
Huo Jingting sensitively noticed her unusualness, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Gu Nanqiao's voice softened, "Are there many people on your side?"
"Not many, just two."
"Male or female?" As soon as she asked, she could almost hear her own intense heartbeat, as if her heart could leap out of her throat.
