Chapter 1796: Chapter 1797: The Call Got Through!
Can you get through the call?
Rong Yan was overjoyed and said to him, "Thank you, Mr. Nie."
"No need to thank me. I should thank you for chatting with me all night. It’s been a while since I’ve had someone to talk to for such a long time. I was really happy last night."
He stood up from the chair.
Rong Yan also stood up and said sincerely, "Actually, I know you were just keeping me company. Otherwise, you could have rested long ago."
"Haha." Chu Aotian patted her shoulder to comfort her, "I also wanted to chat with you, it was truly pleasant to talk with you. I was really happy, and I genuinely want to meet your son someday. You surprised me when you said you had a son, you look like you just graduated from college, I didn’t expect you got married so early. It’s a pity, I have a nephew who’s about your age, a bit carefree, but he’s a responsible man. I initially thought of introducing him to you..."
Feeling a bit regretful, he laughed again, "I remembered that Huangji Spicy Hotpot in Capital City you mentioned, once my wife feels better, I’ll take her there to try it."
"I’m not sure if your wife can eat spicy food. If not, there’s a place on Wangjiang Road with delicious crab roe buns."
Rong Yan thought for a moment and said to him, "Please wait for me a moment."
She jogged back to her room, found the paper and pen provided at the room’s counter, and quickly jotted down the names and addresses of the nice places she had eaten at. She earnestly wrote down more than a dozen spots, then handed the paper to Chu Aotian, "The addresses I mentioned for the sour-spicy noodles and crab roe buns are all on here. You and your wife can take a taxi or use navigation to find them."
Chu Aotian didn’t expect her to be so thoughtful, even noting down the names and addresses, he took the paper from her hand with a touched expression, and his gaze towards her grew even warmer, "I’ll keep this, and I’ll take my wife there when I have the time."
...
Chu Aotian suggested she rest for a while and went out after she freshened up.
Rong Yan returned to her room, and shortly after, the maid who looked after her yesterday came in and brought her a set of clean new clothes.
"Miss Rong, there’s no clothes shop on the ship, so I got someone to find a new set for you. I’m not sure if the size fits. Please try them on, and if they don’t fit, I’ll get them to find another set."
"Okay."
Rong Yan compared the clothes against herself, they were slightly large but could barely fit.
She put down the clothes, looked up at the maid, and said, "I can wear them, thank you."
The maid, pleasantly surprised, covered her mouth and said respectfully, "This is what I’m supposed to do; you don’t have to thank me. The master would be angry if he knew."
"Then Miss Rong, please take a bath first, and I’ll prepare breakfast for you. Please join the master in the dining room for breakfast later."
"Okay."
After the maid left, she gently closed the door behind her.
Rong Yan, who hadn’t slept all night, wasn’t too tired and felt quite refreshed. She quickly took a cold shower, freshened up, and changed into the floral dress delivered by the maid. Eagerly, she picked up her phone and tentatively entered a familiar phone number and dialed out.
The first time.
"Sorry, your signal is busy."
The second time.
"Sorry, your signal is busy."
...Rong Yan refused to give up, sitting on the bed, trying over and over, until finally, after half an hour, the static noise of crossing signals came through from the other end of the phone.
Got through?!
Her heart skipped a beat.
Almost uncontrollably, Rong Yan suddenly stood up, clutched her phone, her porcelain-white face showing signs of nervousness.
"Answer the phone, Li Shengxiao, answer the phone."
