The fellow was not home yet. Had he gone to the office to work overtime or was he out drinking with the group of goofballs?
Or… Was he visiting Xi Xia?
When Song Changwen picked up Xi Xia earlier, Xi Xia seemed to be in a terrible state. Gu Nianshen would probably have gone to see her.
If he did, would he perhaps not return home since it was already very late?
Lin Yiqian alternated between checking her phone and her watch as time passed second after second and minute after minute. Eventually, half an hour had gone by.
She entered Gu Nianshen's number on her phone repeatedly.
However, she lacked the courage to make the call each time.
She was afraid that her guess might have been right. She was afraid that she would hear Xi Xia's weak voice over the phone.
'Nianshen is doing his homework.'
'I'm going to hang up if you don't speak.'
