The previously tensed Ye Nuanxi, intently listening to Han Kekou's phone call, was startled by the sudden voice from behind. Her hand, flipping through a book, let it slip in shock, and with a tremble, it dropped with a smack straight onto the floor of the study.
"Huo Beichen, are you a mouse or what, sneaking up and coming in, scaring me out of my wits!"
Frightened, a fine sheen of sweat coated Nuanxi's forehead. Instinctively, she patted her startled chest before bending down to pick up the book that had fallen to the ground. However, before her hand could reach the book, the hand opposite her was quicker. It picked up the book from the ground first.
"Do you like me and fear because I'm too handsome, too rich, and my private life is too messy, so you secretly call to investigate me?"
