Shen Chi's voice gradually softened, and after he finished that sentence, he fell into silence.
The nights in California were very quiet, especially in this upscale hotel where, once the window was closed, no external sounds could be heard.
At this moment, Shen Chi felt as though he could hear his own heartbeat.
Neither of them hung up the phone; they just remained silent.
After a very long time, so long it seemed like an entire century, Shen Chi slowly broke the silence, "Mumu, if I have really brought you pressure, then starting from tomorrow, I won't bother you anymore."
After he spoke, another lengthy silence ensued.
Shen Chi waited for Xu Chaomu's response. Xu Chaomu bowed her head, unable to see anything in the darkness, hearing only her own breathing.
"Be sure to do as you say," Xu Chaomu's tone was as light as a wisp of cloud, casual and indifferent.
After speaking, she sighed in her heart.
"Mhm," Shen Chi responded with a sound from his throat.
