My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 650 - 013: Uniformly admired
A familiar voice suddenly came from the phone clutched in her hand, making She freeze for a moment. Although the voice was not loud, the courtyard outside was exceptionally quiet, allowing her to clearly hear it fade into the serene night’s dust along with the radio waves.
She was taken aback for a while before reacting, hurriedly picked up the phone to take a look, only to find the screen showing an ongoing call, and the call had lasted for seven or eight minutes, giving her a sudden sense of myocardial infarction, as scenes of her recent conversation with An Zixuan flashed through her mind.
"When did you call? How did I...?" She was entirely in a confused state.
"You called me." Lu Jingang responded nonchalantly, listening to her tone full of confusion and incomprehension.
"I called you?" Upon hearing this, she was even more bewildered. Her first reaction was that he was deceiving her, so she refuted vigorously: "Impossible, I was just with... there’s no way I called you."
Her emotions got stirred up, almost spilling the beans about her recent conversation with An Zixuan. Although judging by the call duration, he must have heard everything, saying it herself felt oddly guilty, despite having done nothing wrong, she could say her conscience was clear.
On the other end, Lu Jingang squinted instinctively: "Did you want something from me? It couldn’t have been just to let me hear your conversation with An Zixuan! Or maybe... you wanted to let me know that I give you such a sense of security."
"No..." She rebutted immediately without thinking: "I don’t know when I called, I didn’t mean that, I just talked like that with An Zixuan to avoid any misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" A dangerous gleam flashed in Lu Jingang’s eyes, articulating clearly: "I didn’t realize you and An Zixuan had such a past."
"Uh... it’s not what you think, I..."
"There’s no need to explain to me, I don’t care. If you have something to ask, just say it." Lu Jingang interrupted her words with rare impatience, somewhat resistant to hearing about her past with An Zixuan.
She was speechless, stunned once again, and the feeling of guilt and panic in her heart suddenly disappeared completely, making her realize how ridiculous and absurd her reaction was just now.
She and Lu Jingang had no emotional foundation whatsoever, and their relationship was merely a marriage of interests. Why explain such things to him?
Isn’t this asking for trouble?
She had never hoped for any emotional attachment from Lu Jingang. She was well aware that their marriage was only about benefits, but the situation just now made her find it inexplicable and astonishing why she wanted to explain to him, even slightly worried he might be angry or misunderstand.
"Sorry for bothering you. It was an accidental call. But I did mean to call you anyway. It’s about time, I wanted to ask when you’d be leaving?" She exhaled silently, her tone reverting to one of cold detachment.
"Where are you?"
"In the courtyard outside the main hall, by the side door." She looked around casually and reported her location with an indifferent tone.
"Stay there and don’t move." Lu Jingang dropped these words coldly and decisively hung up the phone. He put away the phone and casually mentioned to Mr. An that ’She had drunk a little and was feeling uncomfortable’.
Unaware of being used as an excuse, She was nonetheless universally admired, while Lu Jingang gained unanimous praise from those around.
