Muttering to himself, Cao Weiguo started to grow restless.
He had been waiting for Chen Yan's call all this time, worried that his own urgency would breed resentment in Chen Yan.
But with the situation escalating like this, he truly feared that failing to ask about it could lead to serious trouble.
So, he didn't dare wait any longer, hastily picked up his phone, and dialed Chen Yan's number.
The call connected, but it was busy.
Chen Yan seemed to be on another call.
Cao Weiguo hung up and redialed.
Still, it was busy.
He hung up again and continued calling.
Finally, on the third attempt, the call went through.
Chen Yan really had been on the phone all this time, and so he smoothly took Cao Weiguo's call right after ending another.
As soon as the call connected, before Cao Weiguo could speak, Chen Yan's infectious, comforting voice came through, "Brother Cao. I've been busy just now. I was planning to call you once I was free."
"Turns out you beat me to it. Haha."
