A perfectly good meal was ruined by Du Mengxin's mere presence, putting a damper on Mu Xiangwan's mood.
Following dinner, Xiangwan's phone rang. Upon seeing that it was Su Chaoyang, she quickly jumped up and ran outside to take the call.
Chaoyang knew she had been discharged from the hospital, so he decided to call her after wrapping up his work for the evening.
Peace washed over him as her voice returned to the timbre he was familiar with. He teased her on the call, "I find your normal voice so comforting to listen to. You used to sound like a duckling to me."
"You're the duckling!" Xiangwan shot back, unhappy with the comparison.
Chaoyang's robust laughter rang out on the other end of the call, "Sure, as long as you're healthy, I'll be whatever you want me to be, okay?"
