There were a few more seconds of silence before the person on the other line finally spoke out. "Yao Yao," Chen Hao's voice sounded faint on the other line. He cleared out his throat once and spoke again. "I heard… my mother went to your place this morning."
"Yes," her voice softened as she heard the voice that she had not heard for a while.
"Are you alright?"
Li Qin Yao took a deep breath before she nodded and answered, "Yes."
"Did she cause trouble with you?"
"No."
Even if Chen Hao's mother did come to trouble her, Li Qin Yao would deny it.
"Sorry."
Li Qin Yao clenched at her phone a little tighter as she wondered whether Chen Hao was apologizing for their separation or his mother's behavior earlier in her cafe today.
