In stark contrast to Jiang Xianmei's earlier anger, she said, "Auntie, it's me."
When Pei Jingchuan's voice came through the phone, the atmosphere at the other end of the line obviously stiffened.
Jiang Xianmei clearly hadn't expected to hear a male voice in response, let alone that the voice did not belong to her eagerly sought-after niece, Jiang Yuzhu.
At that moment, her previously fervent emotions dissipated as quickly as foam under the blazing sun.
"Oh, this… I thought it was Yuzhu who answered," Jiang Xianmei's voice wrapped in a layer of embarrassment.
Her speech pace quickened, revealing a hint of panic, "I… I'm really sorry, Jingchuan. I thought it was Yuzhu, I didn't expect to let you listen to such a conversation."
Pei Jingchuan's response was filled with understanding as he gently chuckled, "It's okay, Auntie. I understand your worries, after all, Yuzhu is very important to you. Please don't feel embarrassed about it."
