C202 (1/2)
On the other end of the phone was a man's voice, cold and arrogant. His tone was filled with a chill, like ice from the Arctic floating. The temperature of the entire room seemed to drop a few degrees because of his simple sentence.
”Eating on Huai'an Road.”
It was rare for Gu Ruoyun to hide the frivolous tone in her voice, the expression on her face could even be described as serious.
”Come here now, I'll be waiting for you.”
Gu Ruoyun didn't immediately reply him with a command tone that was out of the question. It was a little difficult, she was with An Ning.
”Hmm?”
The man on the other end of the phone keenly sensed Gu Ruoyun's hesitation and asked a question that he didn't understand. However, Gu Ruoyun clearly understood him very well and understood that he was already angry at this point. There was only one way to calm his anger.
”I understand. I'll go over now.”
The man on the other end of the line got the answer he wanted and hung up without a word.
Gu Ruoyun held onto the phone that had automatically hung up and returned to the history record page, but she didn't move. In her eyes, there was a trace of helplessness.
On the long record, there was no name on the top line. Instead, there was a strange ”Y” symbol. The instant An Ning pushed open the door and entered, Gu Ruoyun pressed the 'breath screen' button, and naturally flipped her phone upside down on the table.
”I'm sorry, An Ning. I have some matters to attend to so I'll be leaving first. I'll treat you to this meal!” ”You can treat me again when I have time to eat a good meal!”
As Gu Ruoyun spoke, she stood up, took her handbag and put the phone inside, pushing on her sunglasses with one hand.
”Are you in a hurry? I'll go with you. I've finished eating too! ”
Gu Ruoyun opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. In the end, she chose to shut it up and silently put on her mask.
”Alright, let's go!”
The two of them parted ways in front of the restaurant. Gu Ruoyun had originally wanted to send An Ning off, but remembering that the man had been waiting for a long time for her to get angry, she could only give a few instructions for An Ning to send a message home before driving away.
This was a bustling area, but An Ning stood at the door for ten minutes without seeing a single taxi.
An Ning helplessly threw the tissue she was using to wipe her sweat into the trash can. She decided to walk for a while and see if she could get a taxi from the neighboring block.
He hadn't walked far when his phone started buzzing. An Ning fished out the phone in a flurry of hands and feet, only to find that it was Xu Wang calling.
”Xu Wang?”
”Mm, where are you now?”
There was a hint of a smile in Xu Wang's voice, but An Ning didn't mind. She looked around but couldn't find any landmarks, so she decided not to speak anymore.
”Eating outside, is there anything you need?”
”Turn around!”
Not too far away, Xu Wang was dressed in casual attire, a white top, and straight jeans. He looked just like a college student who had just emerged from university.
