"Ding-a-ling ding-a-ling!"
Just then, the phone rang.
Li Chen paused and chuckled, his brows knitting together.
Who the hell is it, picking such a perfect time.
It was crunch time, and the last thing he wanted was to be interrupted, especially when the swelling down below was unbearably uncomfortable; he felt like he was truly about to explode.
Just as he was about to plunge back in, Yuan Qingying suddenly opened her eyes, which went from hazy to crystal clear in an instant, and she said in a panicked tone, "Li Chen, wait a second, it's my mom, she's making a video call."
Li Chen was instantly dumbstruck.
"Li Chen, can you hide for a bit? I can't let my mom see this," Yuan Qingying said with embarrassment and apology.
"Okay!"
Li Chen nodded helplessly.
They had just finished a surgery not long ago, and were likely still in the hospital; in case something came up, he didn't dare delay.
As Yuan Qingying reached for the phone, he quietly slipped out of bed.
"Mom!"
