Luo Chao, sweating with embarrassment, said: "Dad, I already have such a beautiful girlfriend. How could I possibly go messing around?"
Lu Feng, still imposing, said: "Fine, give me a reasonable explanation, or I'll break your legs."
"It's hard to explain over the phone. I'll tell you when I get back," Luo Chao said, hanging up after ensuring his parents knew he was safe.
Having not eaten since last night, Luo Chao felt his stomach churning. He quickly found a small restaurant, ordered a couple of dishes, and ate several bowls of rice.
After eating his fill, Luo Chao called Ning Wanxi: "Ning, are my parents nearby?"
"No!" Ning Wanxi's tone was somewhat cold, clearly upset that he hadn't returned home last night.
It's understandable; even a fake wife deserves some respect. Leaving her alone, one would expect Ning Wanxi to be angry.
In a quiet voice, Luo Chao said: "Are you free? Could you drive over and pick me up?"
