When Han Ye came back to the dining room five minutes later, he had a perplexed expression on his face as if he were unsure whether the world was alright.
Earlier, before he could even talk, Xiao Lei said, "Han Ye! My phone is low on battery! I've changed my mind! Something came up and I'm stranded at a McDonald. I've sent you the location earlier, do you mind coming over and pick me up so that we could talk in person? Also-"
The line went dead after that. Worried that she might be in some trouble, and happy to know that she changed her mind, Han Ye decided to go and pick her up.
"What's wrong?" Kai Xin asked when she saw his expression. "Something happened with the company or at home?"
"Erm… That was Ms. Xiao. The potential surrogate. She said she had a change of heart and that she felt bad, so she's going to give this a try…" Han Ye said.
He looked at the three old ladies and apologized, "Sorry, but I have to go and settle this work."
