She took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Zhongli, it's me." A deep voice sounded.
Nangong Zhongli tried to pull out a smile, pretending to be relaxed, "Shaochen..."
"Why did it take so long to answer the phone?" he seemed to ask with concern.
"Well... I was just outside, and only heard the phone ring when I got back." Nangong Zhongli quickly explained.
Liang Shaochen lightly acknowledged with a hum, then nodded, "As long as you're okay. I happen to have time at noon, let's go out for lunch together."
Nangong Zhongli's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, she originally wanted to refuse, after all, she hadn't thought of a way to respond yet.
However, facing Liang Shaochen, she really couldn't bring herself to say "no."
"Okay, okay... So where shall we meet?"
"I'll pick you up at your company." He said with a smile.
"...Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Nangong Zhongli held the phone in one hand, while the other hand gripped the table to steady herself.
