He snatched the phone from Ge Feng's hand and whispered a hoarse "hello" into the other end of the line.
Mu Xiaocheng was startled when she heard his voice.
In her memory, Lu Chi had always been a little tyrant, domineering and stubborn, yet optimistic.
But upon hearing his voice, Mu Xiaocheng suddenly realized that she actually didn't understand this man at all.
Mu Xiaocheng lowered her eyes and stared at her toes.
She said into the phone, "This is Mu Xiaocheng."
"Yes. I know."
His tone sounded silly and inexplicable, which made people feel sorry for him.
Mu Xiaocheng moved her lips and continued, "You should drink less alcohol; your life is more important."
Suddenly, she remembered Ge Feng's anxious and worried voice on the phone earlier.
She added, "Don't make the people around you worry."
After Mu Xiaocheng finished speaking, Lu Chi fell silent.
His head was spinning, and her voice was like a cool breeze, dispelling the waves of vexation in his heart.
After a while, a big smile spread across his face, as pure and innocent as a child's.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
As he spoke, he pushed away the wine glass beside him and refused to touch it again.
We can't let Xiao Chengcheng worry.
Hearing his answer, Mu Xiaocheng felt relieved and no longer felt any psychological pressure.
"Then I'll hang up first, you..."
"Mu Xiaocheng".
Lu Chi suddenly spoke, his voice still somewhat hoarse.
Mu Xiaocheng responded subconsciously, but then heard his voice ring out again.
With a hint of humility in his request.
"Please don't like him, okay?"
His voice was soft, and his tone was like he was pleading, revealing a childlike quality.
Suddenly, his eyes slowly closed, his phone fell onto the table, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Upon seeing this, Ge Feng and Shu Yang quickly ran forward.
My older brother actually passed out from drinking?!
Ge Feng picked up his phone and said to Mu Xiaocheng, "Thank you, sister-in-law. My brother has passed out from drinking. We'll take him home."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Are you drunk?
Mu Xiaocheng stared at her phone screen, her mind replaying the words Lu Chi had just said.
Please don't like him, okay?
A bittersweet feeling welled up inside Mu Xiaocheng, and she felt quite uncomfortable.
She knew that Shen Yiming must have relayed her words to Lu Chi.
But, Lu Chi, I'm sorry. I think I can't control my own heart either.
She stared blankly into the distance, her eyes misty.
So much so that, without her noticing, Ji Huaishen was standing behind her.
"What are you thinking about?"
His voice was deep and pleasant, his deep eyes were calm and his tone was cold.
Mu Xiaocheng snapped out of her daze and shook her head: "It's nothing."
Upon hearing her answer, Ji Huaishen's eyes darkened.
The gloom in his eyes grew ever thicker.
How could there be nothing wrong with her expression?
It was the first time he had seen her with such a confused and heartbroken expression.
He saw her on the phone.
As for who was on the other end of the phone, he could more or less guess.
Ji Huaishen forced himself to conceal the gloom in his eyes, and a handsome smile appeared on his lips: "Let's go home."
Mu Xiaocheng frowned: "Is it all settled with Grandpa?"
As she spoke, Mu Xiaocheng glanced around furtively.
Seeing her adorable appearance, Ji Huaishen's lips kept curving upwards, and the gloomy aura from before gradually disappeared.
He bent down slightly, extended his long, slender, white index finger, and affectionately stroked the bridge of her nose.
His thin lips parted slightly, his voice deep and indulgent: "Silly girl."
