Far away in the southern city of Hua Cheng, Hua Cheng held his phone to his ear and asked An Ning, sounding unsure.
It wasn't that he was stupid; it was just that An Ning hadn't made this call in at least three years.
The last time she had called was when they had first exchanged contact information.
"If you're Hua Cheng, then you're the one I'm looking for."
"Then I am. Just tell me what you need."
Hua Cheng's absolute respect for An Ning wasn't just due to his brother's feelings for her; it was also because of An Ning's own formidable power.
An Ning explained Hei Niu's situation. Hua Cheng felt a sense of resistance in his heart—not because he disliked Hei Niu, but because of an embarrassing experience he'd had.
However, because An Ning was the one asking, and because of Hei Niu's filial piety, he agreed.
The two quickly ended the call, and An Ning went back to her romance novel.
