"Want some cake?" Cheng Lie's voice carried a softness he himself didn't realize.
"I do." Yun Shifei replied.
She wasn't in a good mood at all right now. She just wanted something sweet to make herself feel a little better.
Hearing Yun Shifei's reply, Cheng Lie said, "Alright, I'll buy some later and bring them home for you."
Cheng Lie was about to hang up the phone when he heard Yun Shifei's voice again. "Are you done with work now?"
Cheng Lie gave a soft "Mhm."
"Then come home quickly. The power's out, and I'm really scared alone at home."
On the other end, the girl's voice sounded like she was on the verge of tears.
Cheng Lie's chest tightened instantly, and he said, "Wait for me. I'll be back right away."
He thought back to a long time ago when Yun Tiancheng was on a business trip, leaving the massive villa with only Yun Shifei living in it.
At night, she didn't dare to sleep, so she called him and talked to him until her fear lessened and she fell asleep.
