The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 127: Probing! No Aversion to Cilantro?

The other party called once without getting through, then a second and third time. Sheng Yi was worried something urgent had happened, so she ran to the bathroom door and shouted, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan."

Gu Yuan heard the noise this time, turned off the noise-reducing hairdryer, and looked over, "What is it?"

Sheng Yi said, "Someone’s calling you with a voice call."

"Whose name is it?"

"Love You Till Death."

"..."

Before turning the hairdryer back on, Gu Yuan said, "It’s not someone important, you answer for me."

Since Gu Yuan said so, Sheng Yi picked up the call—

’Buzz’

[Connected] 00:01

"Hello."

A man’s voice came through the receiver.

A very deep and heavy tone, just from the sound you could imagine the other person is a manly-looking guy, one with bursting hormones and biceps.

The imagery hit instantly.

Sheng Yi spoke too, "Hi."

She assumed the other party wouldn’t recognize her right away, but after three seconds of silence, he directly asked her, "Who are you?"

Sheng Yi: ???

He asked again, "Where’s Gu Yuan?"

Sheng Yi: !!!

Impressive! He figured out she’s not the phone’s owner just from her voice.

Sheng Yi didn’t say who she was; she asked him first, "What do you want with Gu Yuan?"

The other party said nothing.

Sheng Yi continued, "Gu Yuan is currently unable to take the call; you can tell me if it’s urgent, and I’ll pass it on to her. If it’s really important, you can call back in half an hour."

The other party remained silent.

The silence dragged on, making Sheng Yi think he had hung up, but the call screen was still lit. Who knows how long had passed when Gu Yuan, rubbing hair oil, came out and saw Sheng Yi motionless on the bed like a little hamster, so Gu Yuan walked over.

Sheng Yi suddenly got up and said, "Yuanyuan, you finally came out. This [Love You Till Death] person called you, didn’t hang up or say anything, and suddenly went mute."

But the mute person Sheng Yi mentioned spoke immediately after Gu Yuan took the phone—

He said, "Miss Gu, I’ve been waiting for you."

Gu Yuan replied, "Sorry to keep you waiting, I was a little busy just now."

Sheng Yi: "..." !!!

Listening to this conversation, is there something going on between them??

Sheng Yi perked up her ears to eavesdrop.

"Young Master Quan, calling so late, is it something important?" Gu Yuan put the towel aside, holding the phone close to her ear with the other hand.

It wasn’t the first time hearing Quan Jin’s voice; last time at Xiangxilu, she had heard it through a stand-in’s phone.

He said, "My grandmother will be arriving in Sui City within the next two days."

The Quan Family Matriarch hadn’t told her this alone, so Gu Yuan didn’t know. Now that Quan Jin specifically informed her, Gu Yuan responded, "Looking forward to the old lady’s arrival."

The notification was complete, and she thought the call should end.

The other party suddenly said, "Last time, I couldn’t come personally and stood up Miss Gu once, I feel quite sorry."

"No need to feel sorry," she said, her tone light.

He continued, "For this meeting, the Quan Family will host, sincerely inviting Miss Gu for a conversation. May I boldly ask, what are Miss Gu’s dietary preferences? Like mint, bamboo shoots, coriander, do you avoid any of them?"

Since they’re hosting, asking about dietary preferences is appropriate.

Gu Yuan said, "I don’t have any dietary restrictions."

"Not even coriander?" he asked.

Gu Yuan frowned, vaguely sensing something was off...
