Five minutes had passed, and Yang Fan could no longer hold back. He dialed Xia Yuan's number again.
This time, Xia Yuan picked up quickly.
"Haven't I already told you? I don't have the time or the mood, and I certainly don't want to go to the KTV with you. What's wrong with you? Why do you keep calling? If there's something urgent, say it now; if not, just hang up."
Yang Fan felt a bit angry, but knowing that it was because he had neglected her, which had caused Xia Yuan to not come to work for several days, he patiently said,
"It wasn't my idea; the employees suggested it. If you don't show up, it'll really disappoint the colleagues. Plus, I was hoping you'd come; not seeing you for several days has left me feeling rather empty."
Yang Fan thought he had fully expressed his longing for Xia Yuan with that remark. He was never good at expressing feelings about romantic matters, and voicing such sentiments had already taken a great deal of effort and thought.
