Chi Wan's words left Zhou Huaijin at a loss, unable to say what he'd planned.
He stammered, "I... I'm sorry, Wanwan. I was just worried he wouldn't make it in time, so I..."
But Chi Wan's tone was light. "It's fine, Senior Brother~ My boyfriend can protect me even when he's not here. Really, don't worry."
Hearing Chi Wan's absolute trust in Li Xingye, Zhou Huaijin couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness. But he also knew he had no real reason to force his way into her business.
Feeling dejected, Zhou Huaijin hung up. He was finally, slowly, beginning to accept the fact that Chi Wan had a boyfriend.
Meanwhile, on Chi Wan's end, Song Yangming was holding his breath as he listened in, terrified that she'd get picked up by someone else before they arrived.
Thankfully, Chi Wan refused the offer. Song Yangming breathed a sigh of relief and asked in surprise, "Wanwan, when did you get a boyfriend? Does my sister know?"
