Once Zhao Hanyue understood, she stopped being angry and nodded in agreement.
"What about Third Brother?"
Lin Yuxin asked again.
"Your third brother is a workaholic. He wouldn't even see a female mosquito, let alone a woman! Whenever there's a case, he won't be back for ten days or half a month. It's so worrying!"
