"Are you okay now?" Seeing the car return, Ye Ning quickly walked over and stood in front of his window to ask.
He did indeed look more spirited than last night, and he had changed his clothes, wearing the shirt she had washed for him the previous night. She had washed it and, worried it wouldn’t dry, had even used a hairdryer on it for quite a while before hanging it up.
However, Ye Ning had been standing in front of his car window for a long time, and the glass didn’t slide down; upon closer inspection, she realized that he was on the phone inside.
Seeing this, she stopped asking, went back to the inn, checked out, and paid for the room before asking, "Boss, where around here can you get breakfast?"
"For breakfast, there’s a market not far ahead where they sell it, but it’s all street food. I’m not sure if your boss has the habit of eating such things?"
The innkeeper was a shrewd person. After witnessing last night’s events, he could tell that this girl’s boss was no ordinary man; ordinary stuff hardly caught his eye.
Ye Ning smiled awkwardly...
Indeed, but if he didn’t want to eat, she needed to. She couldn’t stand being hungry, and her stomach wasn’t strong.
So, after getting into the car, and seeing that the man making the phone call in front had just put down his phone, she asked from behind him, "Ou Mucen, do you want to have breakfast?"
His refusal was indeed swift and decisive!
Upon hearing this, Ye Ning disdainfully glanced at the back of his head, "Then stop for a moment when we pass by the market. I want to eat. I’ll go buy something and come back."
Ou Mucen glanced at her emotionlessly through the rearview mirror and didn’t say anything. He started the car and headed towards the market.
Seeing that, Ye Ning felt relieved. Thus, while the car was moving, she took her phone out of her bag, preparing to make a call back home to inquire about the situation there.
But, as soon as she turned on her phone and opened the call log, she discovered that there was an answered call - and it was Lin Yebai’s!!
"Your phone has been ringing nonstop since six in the morning. It was so incessant that I couldn’t stand it and had to answer," he said indifferently, as if knowing what she was about to say.
As soon as Ye Ning heard this, she was on the verge of anger, "How could you just answer my phone? Do you know that’s impolite?"
The man driving in front sneered, "Take a look at how many missed calls are on your phone. Early in the morning, it bombarded me in a harassing manner. You call that polite?"
She quickly scrolled through her phone and saw indeed, there were over a dozen missed calls in her log!
Really, this Brother Lin...
Ye Ning’s face finally began to show some embarrassment, "Then... when you answered his call, what did he say?"
Ou Mucen’s expression was blank, "Nothing much. Just asked when you’re returning."
Ye Ning was somewhat incredulous of his words, but in fact, the call Ou Mucen received that morning really only involved that one question as soon as he heard his voice.
Moreover, the caller had been rather polite!
Right, how could he not be polite? He’s her BOSS. His call to her had been answered by him, so as a smart man, he must have also realized that he had seen the dozen or so missed calls he made.
Remembering the rushed sound of the phone being hung up, a trace of scorn curled on Ou Mucen’s lips.
