She had already forgotten that she’d said she sprained her back and twisted her ankle. She struggled out of Huo Yunshen’s arms and went over to her bag to get her phone.

She took out her phone and saw the caller ID, and was surprised to see that it was Ye Xun calling.

Why is he calling me now? If it’s about Ying Bao, I can’t say much in front of Huo Yunshen.

Ye Xun was unusually stubborn, and the ringing continued so that Xu Xiyan had to pick up the call unwillingly. On the other side, a cheeky voice said, “Xixi, guess who I am?”

“Childish.” Xu Xiyan wrinkled her nose and said.

“Hey, you’re so ungrateful! You forgot about me the moment you went back to the country. How can you be so heartless! Don’t forget, I play a part with regards to Ying Bao.”

Ye Xun sounded nonchalant as usual.

“There’s nothing that she wants to eat. We have everything here. Don’t waste your money on postage fees.”

Knowing that he was on a mission in Country X, Xu Xiyan hoped that he would place the mission as his priority and not be distracted, thus rejecting him straight.

Ye Xun was pissed. “Xixi! You’re such a scrooge! Am I spending your money on postage?”

Xu Xiyan had no rebuttals. “All right, just send whatever you want. I won’t stop you.”

After the call ended, Xu Xiyan saw that Huo Yunshen was looking at her. She explained with some guilt, “That was my senior, Ye Xun.”

“It sounds like you two are really close?”

Huo Yunshen’s intention was not to invade her privacy. He just could not let off his guard towards any male. He would instinctively be alert, and be able to prepare any countermeasures if he was really a love rival.

“Yeah, so close that I feel like strangling him,” Xu Xiyan replied jokingly.

In Xu Xiyan’s mind, Ye Xun was just a cheeky fellow that liked to interfere with her life. She’d come back just to avoid him.

Huo Yunshen was slightly relieved. He felt from her answer that the two of them had no other love romances.
