The next day.
Cheng Bingbing went to the place Mrs. Huo had mentioned on the phone yesterday at the agreed time.
From a distance, she saw that Huo Qilin had already arrived.
The anxiousness in her heart finally settled down. It seemed she really had been worrying too much; it must have been Huo Qilin who had arranged to meet her, probably to give her a surprise.
Thinking this way, Cheng Bingbing quickened her pace and walked towards Huo Qilin.
As she got closer, she gave Huo Qilin's shoulder a pat and, with a hint of reproach mixed with a bit of coquetry, said, "Hey, really, if you want to give me a surprise, can't you just tell me directly? Why have your mother call me?"
As she spoke, she sat down opposite Huo Qilin.
"Yesterday, when I suddenly got a call from your mother, my hands trembled with fright—I thought our cover was blown and she was calling to question us sternly."
