Chapter 2 - Called you Thirty Million Times Last Night (1/2)

Susu took out her cell phone to order a cab since she was late for work and didn't have time to go home and get changed. The moment her phone was switched on, her eyes couldn't catch up with the number of unread messages from different apps and missed calls that popped up on her notification screen.

Chen Mu:

”Where are you..?”

”Are you okay?”

”Are you still at the party? Don't drink too much.”

”Let me know if you need a ride home. I'll come to pick you up no matter how late it is. Message me.”

”Yin Susu! I've called and messaged you like what? Thirty million times! When we meet, you need to treat me to a big meal!”

”Okay, I'll stop calling you dear for... an hour. Please answer back (Crying emoticon)”

While scrolling from the very first message all the way to the... well.. no end because she never reached the end of the messages as it could match up to the length of the Great Wall of China. Her eyebrow raised seeing that the person who called her throughout the night was Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was Tian Yuo's childhood friend, who also came from a prestigious family, but had a flirty mouth. He always loved teasing her and annoying her, but somehow the long list of missed call logs and messages made her smile after a chaotic morning.

Before she unlocked her phone screen, Chen Mu's drooling, sleeping face appeared on her screen. She huffed out a small laugh, ”Hello, young master Chen Mu.”

”Yin Susu! Do you know how many damn freaking times have I called you since last night??? Where the heck have you been? I even bombarded the phone companies to look for you, but they said you had your phone off!!!” He sounded like a father scolding his daughter coming home after sleeping over at a friend's place without permission.

”My phone was turned off because of Karen and Tian Yuo's...engagement. I was told to entertain some guests while I was at the party and... well.. that's about it.” Her voice trailed off and faded after mentioning the party from yesterday.

Sensing her changed tone, he coughed on his side of the call, ”Uhm... Are you alright?”

Quickly snapping out of her deep thoughts, she adjusted her voice, ”Why would I not be okay? It's just a man. If I wanted to, this Miss here could get all the men she wants lining them up all the way to the deep holes in space.”

”Pffft, yes, yes. Our Miss. Yin is the National Wife that everyone would be as lucky as winning the jackpot if they get you. By the way, aren't you supposed to be at work today?” He sounded curious because she usually ignores all calls during her shifts.

”Ack! Because of you, I totally forgot to call my cab!!!” She smacked her forehead and let out a deep sigh.

”Hehe~ Someone seems to be in a hurry~ Where are you now? I'll come to get you and help you out.” He teased in a gentle tone.

”I'm standing in front of the grand hall from yesterday.” She accidentally spilled out the words that she didn't want him to know. Usually, Chen Mu may seem to have a low IQ and EQ, but he always had the sharpest instinct when it comes to awkward situations.
