The secretary was taken aback for a moment before realization dawned, and with an awkward smile, turned around and left, closing the door behind them.
It was then that Chen Kai pressed the answer button.
"Why did you suddenly decide to call?"
From the other end of the line came Gu Nanchen's voice, not heard in a long time.
"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone? Are you busy? If it's not a good time, I can call you back later?"
Chen Kai shook his head and said helplessly,
"I am indeed busy, but I haven't been able to come up with a solution to the problem. Let's talk about you instead; why did you think to call me out of the blue? I thought you'd forget about me after marrying Gao Rourou."
"After all, I am a very unpleasant memory between the two of you."
Gu Nanchen sighed helplessly.
