As midnight approached, the landline downstairs started ringing.
At first, they thought the caller would hang up after the phone rang for a while without an answer, but unexpectedly, it kept on ringing for a good five or six minutes, showing no sign of stopping.
Since it was her birthday and they both knew they wanted to enjoy a romantic evening alone, Sister Ming and the other servants tidied up the kitchen and tactfully left the house.
Therefore, with no one to answer, the phone downstairs kept ringing incessantly.
Qin Yuji muttered irritably, "Who is this, so relentless?"
Looking back, she saw Chi Jingxuan with an unreadable expression, his eyes fixed on his phone as if flames were about to shoot out. Qin Yuji knew then that Chi Jingxuan had guessed who was calling.
"Lin Xixi?"
Qin Yuji asked softly.
Chi Jingxuan nodded, "You lie down for a bit, I'll go downstairs and pull out the phone line."
With that, Chi Jingxuan got up and went downstairs.
