"Okay," Xue Rui nodded. He'd been so focused on his phone that he hadn't noticed the little girl appear. He couldn't help but feel a sudden chill in the August air of Shencheng.
In her past life, the lass had died from a fall. The sight of her sticking her head out the window just now had made his heart tremble.
At the dinner table, Xue Rui stared at a spread of dishes, but his mind was preoccupied. 'How much did she hear?'
'She couldn't have heard everything, could she?'
He sucked in a sharp breath.
He thought for a moment. 'Even if she heard everything, it shouldn't matter. I didn't say anything remotely intimate, and I was wearing earbuds during the call, so she couldn't have heard what Gu Muxue said.'
Yu Minlan tactfully closed the door before they began to eat. Xue Rui sat down next to Lin Ruoxi.
"Is the reception bad in here? I'll connect you to the Wi-Fi," Lin Ruoxi said, reaching for Xue Rui's phone on the table.
