"I just wanted you to give me another chance, to take care of you once more."
His voice was sincere, and his gaze was focused on her, showing a hint of nervousness.
Gu Nanqiao lowered her head, completely indifferent to the earnest plea in his eyes.
She had said all she wanted to say and didn't wish to explain any further.
The cell phone on the dining table suddenly rang, drawing both their eyes to it simultaneously.
She glanced at the caller ID on the screen; it was Huo Jingting calling.
Fu Lingfeng was still present, so she didn't immediately answer, to avoid having to explain things over the phone and possibly causing another misunderstanding.
Fu Lingfeng, seeing that she was not answering, guessed who might be calling.
If it had been someone else, she surely would have picked up, but she didn't, which could only mean one thing: the caller was Huo Jingting.
Gu Nanqiao didn't pick up the phone until it went to voicemail, and Fu Lingfeng felt even more certain of his guess.
