In the evening, Gu Yikun sat on the sofa handling email documents while An Junxi quietly sat by the window looking at her phone. After a while, Gu Yikun waved her over, "Xi Xi, let me hug you."
Ever since he learned her nickname, he liked to keep it on the tip of his tongue.
An Junxi walked over, and Gu Yikun pulled her close. She nestled in his arms and asked, "Am I bothering you?"
"No."
An Junxi saw that Gu Yikun continued reading his documents and softly said, "I want to call mother-in-law."
"Okay, go ahead."
An Junxi lay down on the sofa, resting her head on Gu Yikun's lap, and dialed Liang Huiyun's number.
She had been in Yan City for several days and was just calling back now, hoping mother-in-law wouldn't blame her.
The call connected quickly, An Junxi asked, "Mother, are you still awake?"
"Not yet." Liang Huiyun's voice was indifferent.
An Junxi stuck out her tongue and said, "Something happened at home, so I'm only calling you now."
"How is everyone at home?"
