Muo Huangnian glanced at the caller ID, stood up as he answered the call, and strode toward the study.
"Are you at home now..."
Perhaps because the dining area was too quiet, Qin Manman vaguely heard a charming female voice coming through the phone as the man passed by her.

The man's footsteps entered the study. Manman almost held her breath to listen, but she couldn't make out the words clearly—she only caught a few sentences he said; most of the time, he just replied with a sound of acknowledgment.
She didn't know how she managed to finish the half bowl of fried rice left; it was tasteless. Manman brushed her teeth and washed her face in the bathroom, then stood in the living room for a while, weighing whether to go straight back to the bedroom or... go to the study to find him.
