She was just as beautiful as before, perhaps even more stunning.

She glanced at the screen—it was an unfamiliar number.
Xu Yuejiao answered and said, "Hello, who is this?"
When he heard Xu Yuejiao's crystal-clear voice through the phone, Zhou Li felt as though his heart had been scalded.
There was a bittersweet tinge to the sensation.
