When Gu Jiangnian saw the incoming call, he silently counted the seconds. Usually, he would have picked up immediately, but today, he hesitated.
Today was the little shrew's birthday.
In previous years, no matter how busy he was, he always managed to push aside his social engagements and work to go home and accompany Yu Se, establishing a sort of inertia.
At this moment, Gu Jiangnian was making a choice.
A choice between Jiang Muwan and Yu Se.
Ultimately, out of filial duty, he took Yu Se's call.
When Gu Jiangnian left the company, he made a phone call to Jiang Muwan to let her know he would be home late.
On the other side, Jiang Muwan was stunned for a second upon hearing this. Her hand, poised above the computer keyboard, paused for a second, and eventually, she responded with an extremely indifferent "Oh," as an acknowledgment.
This "Oh" caused Gu Jiangnian's movement as he entered the elevator to falter for a second, with a tug-of-war raging inside his heart.
