"Did Fu Rong ask you just now? Have you decided how you'll respond?"
Ye Ranran hadn't figured it out yet when her phone started ringing—and it was Fu Rong calling.
"Where are you?"
"I'm home." Ye Ranran quickly caught on and replied with calmness and steady composure.
Shen Yuzhe glanced at her in admiration. Her ability to react was truly top-notch.
"You've learned to lie, haven't you? Let me ask you again—where exactly are you right now?" An agitated voice came from the other end.
He knew she wasn't home? How did he know? Was he spying on her?
In an instant, a multitude of thoughts flooded Ye Ranran's mind.
"The car broke down, so I switched to another one." Ye Ranran told another lie.
"How's everything now? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine—it'll just take me a bit longer to get back."
"Alright."
The line went silent after that, and soon the call was disconnected.
During this time, Shen Yuzhe had already sent the hypnotist away, leaving only the two of them in the living room.
