After chatting with his parents for a few more sentences, they finally hung up the phone.
Cheng Zhu guessed that his parents would be up late tonight, talking about their son for a long time in bed.
What he didn't know, however, was that before Xu Yun called, she also said to Cheng, "And about that Shen Qingning affair, I also want to get to the bottom of it—what exactly is his relationship with this young lady!"
Ultimately, she was stopped by Cheng.
"You should give him some space in this regard. They're adults, and he'll naturally tell you when he's ready!" Cheng said.
It took a full five minutes of argument before Xu Yun conceded, and that's why the phone call only mentioned QQ underwear and none of the other scandals.
After pouring himself a glass of water, Cheng Zhu plunked down on the sofa.
He was too lazy to reply to the pile of WeChat messages, planning to tackle them all in one go later.
He had real business to attend to tonight.
