C76 (1/2)

Ling Xiaosu stared at him blankly. Was this person going to say or not? He was going to say something that she was nervous about.

The heaven defying official rolled his Adam's apple up and down. Finally, after a long silence, he said, ”It's getting late, you can go back now.”

Finally, he opened his mouth and said something that didn't matter to him. He was still unable to say what was in his heart, and his heart was beating faster and faster.

Due to his nervousness, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the heaven defying official. However, in order to conceal his nervousness from Ling Xiaosu, the heaven defying official embarrassedly coughed twice.

After hesitating for a long time, Ling Xiaosu said these words. Ling Xiaosu pursed her lips, picked up the backpack on the table and put it on her back. She then walked to the entrance, changed her shoes and said to the heaven defying official, ”I'll be leaving first.”

”Yes.” After making a sound, she turned her head away from Ling Xiaosu with embarrassment.

Ling Xiaosu could not suppress the smile on his face as he looked at the one with the temper of a child, but he did not laugh out loud.

By the time he got home, it was already 11 P.M., and the shop was already closing for the day. Ling An was also sitting at home watching TV after showering.

Ling Xiaosu went back home to put on her slippers and put down her backpack. Just as she was about to call Ling Anan by name, she saw Ling Anan, who was holding a cell phone with a creased brow and a worried expression.

Strange, what's wrong?

Ling Xiaosu stepped forward. To be honest, her mother had always been an optimist. She rarely frowned like this. What was going on? Did something happen?

”An'an.” Ever since he called his mother by her name, Ling Xiaosu found that he could not change his words.

Ling An turned around and looked at Ling Xiaosu who had suddenly called out to him. With a dry smile, he said, ”Xiaoxiao has returned so early.”

Ling Xiaosu nodded and asked, ”Why were you distracted?” Even when she entered the room, she did not hear it.

Ling An forced a smile and replied evasively, ”I was thinking about the matter in the shop, so I wasn't paying attention when I thought about it.”

”I don't believe it.” Based on Ling Xiaosu's evasive gaze, Ling Xiaosu was able to tell that Ling An was lying.

If Ling An were to lie, his eyes would avert hers, and he would not dare to look her in the eye.

Having been exposed, Ling An remained silent. He smiled dryly, not daring to look at Ling Xiaosu. Even so, the smile on his face stiffened.

A moment later, Ling Xiaosu let out a sigh. Ever since Ling An An had attended her engagement banquet, he had been out of his mind. She thought that the shop was too busy, so she did not ask too much.

”Ling An An.” Ling Xiaosu shouted. Ling Xiao Su raised his head to look at Ling An. Ling Xiao Su then said, ”I hope you can tell me if there's anything that you need to tell me. You're not hiding it from me, are you?”

Ling An nodded in panic and replied, ”Nothing happened, you …”

”Forget it.” Ling Xiaosu interrupted him and stood up, ”It's fine if you don't tell me. Just don't hide it from me. I'll go up and rest first.”

With that, Ling Xiaosu walked upstairs. Ling An watched her daughter's back as he held the phone tightly in his hand.

After Ling Xiaosu closed the bedroom door, Ling An opened the password on her phone. Looking at the first number on the phone, Ling An became uneasy.

How could she … How could he tell Xiaoxiao? It was best to keep this sort of matter a secret from Xiaoxiao …

Ling An was uneasy as he put down his cell phone. From the moment the call was made to him, Ling An had been immersed in fear and trepidation, all the way until the call was made to him again today.
