As Xue Rui took the soup, he instinctively gulped. The young woman seemed to understand something, but she didn't call him out on it, only suggesting he make the call inside.
Lin Ruoxi didn't press him further on the previous question, and Xue Rui never answered who he was calling.
'But Ruoxi had already brought up Gu Muxue's name. She must know something…'
But even though she'd said that, Xue Rui didn't dare.
'If I make a video call in the room, Ruoxi will quickly figure out my relationship with Gu Muxue. And if something goes wrong, Gu Muxue will find out that Ruoxi exists…'
'Wouldn't that be a total disaster?'
Just as he was thinking this, Yu Minlan suddenly burst out of the house, snatched the bowl of soup from Xue Rui's hands, and took a huge gulp.
"Ahh, that's better!" Yu Minlan exclaimed, her chest rising and falling.
