Although Chu Ge knew perfectly well that in theory, Luo Suyun couldn't possibly tell Shu Lulu about their matters, he still felt a bit guilty while holding the phone in his hand.
This feeling, which hadn't appeared in him for years, not even when facing life-and-death situations in the past, was so overwhelming at this moment.
The phone rang for quite a while before Chu Ge finally mustered up the courage to answer it.
"Hey Uncle, what took you so long to pick up the phone?"
"Nothing much, what's up?"
Usually, whenever Chu Ge received a call from Shu Lulu, he would chat with her casually for a bit. But this time, he really wasn't in the mood.
"Oh, so you're saying I can't call you if I have nothing to do? Can't I just miss you?"
"It's not that, I'm just a bit tired today and was about to go to bed." Taking a deep breath, Chu Ge tried to make his voice sound as normal as possible.
