Jiang Tong looked at Xie Wenkai, who was sleeping soundly. There was no other special reason, except that beautiful things could be appreciated for a long time.
“Pa-dah.” The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by a knock on the door. “Xie Wenkai, are you awake? You need to answer your mother’s call,” Zhou Jingyun said. He pushed open the bedroom door and held the phone in one hand while he quickly gestured to Jiang Tong with his other hand.
Xie Wenkai was startled awake. He was a little scared, so when he saw Jiang Tong’s side profile, he subconsciously called out, “Bab-…” he didn’t complete his word because Jiang Tong covered his mouth in time.
“Xie Wenkai, it’s your mother’s call. Pick it up.” Zhou Jingyun, who was wearing pajamas at the door, walked over quickly and even winked at Xie Wenkai. Xie Wenkai looked at Zhou Jingyun and finally realized what was going on. As his phone was destroyed yesterday, his mother couldn’t contact him directly, so she called Zhou Jingyun early in the morning.
Zhou Jingyun handed the phone to Xie Wenkai. When Xie Wenkai took the phone, he took a deep breath before making any sound. Then, he put the phone to his ear and said, “Mom…”
“Xie Wenkai, you haven’t woken up yet? What time is it now?” Madam Xie asked. Because Xie Wenkai was next to her, Jiang Tong could hear the faint sound coming from the phone. Xie Wenkai had indeed woken up late today. His sleep schedule was more regular than Jiang Tong’s. He would go to bed at 10 o’clock every night and wake up at 6:30 in the morning. First, he would do morning exercises. Then, he would go back to wash up and have breakfast at 7:00, and read the company’s report. Then, he would leave home at 8:30. He would definitely arrive at the company before 9:30.
“I chatted too late last night so I slept late,” Xie Wenkai said on the phone. His voice was still quite calm.
“Did you have a good chat with Director Zhou yesterday? Did you go to Director Zhou’s house?” Madam Xie asked.
“Yes, I had a good chat with Director Zhou at his house. He is a very good person,” Xie Wenkai said quickly and fluently.
“That’s good. As expected of my son, everyone who meets you would like you.” There was obvious joy and pride in Madam Xie’s tone.
“Mom, I have to go wash up. I’ll be at the office before nine,” Xie Wenkai said. He wanted to end the call as soon as possible.
“Well, don’t be late,” Madam Xie said, but then asked Xie Wenkai, “What’s wrong with your throat? Why is it a little hoarse? I hope it’s not a cold.”
“Ahem, ahem, ahem,” Xie Wenkai cleared his throat quickly and said, “Well, it’s nothing. I just woke up. I’ll be fine after drinking some water.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the office. You can talk about some things when you get there. By the way, I’ll get someone to send clothes to Director Zhou’s house. It’ll probably be delivered before eight o’clock. Remember to change your clothes and don’t wear sportswear to the office,” Madam Xie reminded him.
“Okay, Mom.” After hanging up the phone, Xie Wenkai held the phone and let out a sigh of relief. He was nervous about Madam Xie’s question just now because he lied to his mother. It wasn’t because he chatted with Zhou Jingyun too late, it was because he made love with Jiang Tong late into the night. It wasn’t because he had just woken up that his voice was a little hoarse. It was because he was screaming too loudly. There would definitely be a problem with his voice. Of course, this was a small problem. He would recover soon.
“Thank you, Director Zhou.” Xie Wenkai returned the phone to Zhou Jingyun. However, Zhou Jingyun looked at Jiang Tong and Xie Wenkai with a very strange expression on his face. He had heard them last night. His master bedroom was also on the second floor, and this guest room was also on the second floor. He heard quite a bit of their movements in this room last night, and he was very annoyed listening to it. It took him a long time to fall asleep.
“Alright, you guys should get up quickly.” As Zhou Jingyun spoke, he glanced at the pajamas that had been thrown to the side of the bed. He had lent the pajamas to Xie Wenkai, and they were already dirty. He was thinking about how to deal with them. He definitely couldn’t keep them anymore.
After getting up, he washed up and had breakfast. Jiang Tong, Zhou Jingyun, and Xie Wenkai first went to Jingyun Fashion Company. Because Jin Dong Manor was very close to Jingyun Fashion, they left home and went to Jingyun Fashion. Xie Wenkai also went to Six Blessings Corporation in a hurry. The main reason for going to Jingyun Fashion first was to drop Jiang Tong off at Jingyun Fashion. Yesterday, before the three of them went to Spring Breeze Teahouse, they first went back to Jingyun Fashion Company and then changed cars when they set off. Jiang Tong’s Lamborghini was parked in Jingyun Fashion building’s underground parking lot. After that, they sent Xie Wenkai to Six Blessings Corporation. Only Zhou Jingyun needed to send Xie Wenkai there. It would be strange if Jiang Tong went with them.
