On Mr. Gu's first day back at work, he skipped half a day.
He took Qiao Yuxian back to Fenglin Villa.
Halfway there, Qiao Yuxian fell asleep leaning on his shoulder.
She was sleeping quite peacefully, but as they neared Fenglin Villa, her phone ringing woke her up.
As soon as she heard the sound, Qiao Yuxian frowned and flicked the phone in her pocket.
As if trying to mute the phone with one big flick.
But the phone clearly didn't cooperate and kept ringing.
Qiao Yuxian, unable to do anything, began clutching Gu Yanjing's clothes.
Gu Yanjing saw her furrowed little brows, took out her phone, muted it first, then checked the incoming call display.
Gu Yanjing looked at the phone, then at Qiao Yuxian, paused and said, "It's a hidden number."
Qiao Yuxian rubbed her face against his shoulder, found a comfortable position, and closed her eyes, saying, "Just hang up."
Gu Yanjing ended the call.
But as soon as he hung up, the caller dialed in again.
