Her boyfriend was so desperate for her—like, really needy—and she doesn't come back promptly to satisfy him, but instead disappears for several days.
Wasn't she worried about Lin Tian being utterly cucked?
Before Lanyi could explode, Xia Manning cut in, "Mom, that's enough. I'm not discussing this anymore. I have things to handle."
After she spoke, Xia Manning hung up the phone.
She truly hadn't lied to Lanyi about having business in the city.
But the business wasn't hers; it involved Jingjing's grandfather, whose illness had worsened.
So, she planned to stay with Jingjing for a few days before returning.
It wasn't like she was busy anyway.
As for Lin Tian, let him think what he wanted. She didn't care.
Unfortunately, Xia Manning couldn't share this with Lanyi, which really infuriated her.
Lanyi was so angry she wished she could rush to the city right now, drag Xia Manning back, and make Lin Tian thoroughly screw Xia Manning for a whole day.
