“Mm.” Xiao Yao lowered her head, waiting for the verdict. “Bring him over.” The decision was made.
What? Xiao Yao looked up, completely confused. Her mother added, “The sooner, the better.”
This… Staring at her parents as they walked out, Xiao Yao’s eyelids twitched – why did she feel like she was about to be executed?
Was the moment of “beheading” about to arrive?
Ji Rou, “Kiss of the Passionate CEO”
Chapter 4
That very night, Xiao Yao received a call from Stone.
Her heart skipped a beat. She didn’t expect him to call so soon. What did this mean? A sign of missing her? Holding her phone, she couldn’t help but smile.
“Stone… oh, no. Not Stone.” Xiao Yao’s voice was clearly rushed: “It’s… Lui…”
“It’s okay, Stone is fine. You’re the only one who calls me that.”
“So… you really don’t mind?”
“Mind?” A slightly pondering voice became even more magnetic, “I like you calling me that.”
After a while, Xiao Yao fell silent.
He asked, “Why aren’t you speaking?”
“Uh, I…” She wasn’t not speaking, she was trying to keep her hands from trembling. The word “like” coming from his mouth made Xiao Yao unable to hide a certain trembling feeling.
“Didn’t expect me to call?” He continued.
“Yes, I’m truly surprised,” she answered honestly.
“Did I wake you?”
“No, I wasn’t sleeping. How could I possibly sleep? I was just thinking about you…” Should I come over?
“Mm?” His voice contained a hint of laughter.
“I, I mean I was thinking about some things about you.” Xiao Yao, who had just finished speaking breathlessly, felt her cheeks burning.
“What things about me?”
“I’ve already told my parents about my brother’s situation and mentioned meeting you at the villa today.”
“Oh? Do they remember me?”
“They do.” She would rather things weren’t like this.
“So… about my plan to visit them—”
“I’ve told them.” Her voice sounded somewhat lazy.
“Are Uncle and Aunt not welcoming?”
“No, not at all.” Xiao Yao perked up, “My mom even said she hopes to see you, and the sooner, the better.”
“Oh? Then let’s make it tomorrow, since it’s Sunday.”
Oh no, Xiao Yao’s smile froze. Did “surrendering” really need to be this urgent?
