Chapter 504 - 505: Are you two together?
Could she and Big Brother ever have had the chance to grow old together?
Di Mingzhe emerged dressed, just as Di Xiaxia’s phone started to ring.
He furrowed his bushy brows and walked over, picked up the phone from the bedside table and looked at the screen. The name shown for the incoming call was: The One I Love Most In The World.
He froze abruptly, his slender fingers suddenly clamping down tight, with a force as if intending to crush the entire phone.
The one she loved most in the world? Was it Boss?
What could Boss possibly be calling her for?
Boss was always indifferent to her. And now, there’s Gu Qibao too. Why would he call her alone?
The caller might not be Boss.
Then, who could it be?
The ringtone kept blaring, sounding like a curse in Di Mingzhe’s ears.
Annoyed, Di Mingzhe abruptly hung up.
But less than two seconds later, the call came through again.
He hesitated for a moment, finally swiping to answer the call after it had been ringing for a long while.
No sooner had he picked up when a woman’s voice came over. "Di Xiaxia! How dare you hang up on me!"
It was Fang Hao?
The one Xiaxia loved most in the world turned out to be Fang Hao?
A wave of relief washed over Di Mingzhe, even a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his lips, seemingly pleased about something.
On the other end of the line, Fang Hao rambled, "Listen here Di Xiaxia, don’t think because you’re now not at home I can’t discipline you..."
"Mom." Di Mingzhe frowned, interrupting Fang Hao’s ’lecture’ with his cold voice.
Caught off guard, Fang Hao sputtered, "What the heck? A man answered the phone, and he called me mom?"
Fang Hao blurted, "Who’s this? Are you Xiaxia’s boyfriend? Can’t Xiaxia pick up the phone? Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter, you two carry on, I’ll catch her later."
"I’m your son." Di Mingzhe interrupted Fang Hao again, somewhat displeased.
"My boy!" Fang Hao jumped, then realizing, "Oh, Boss?!"
"Mm-hmm." Di Mingzhe grunted affirmatively.
Fang Hao was taken aback. "Why is Xiaxia’s phone with you? Where is she? Aren’t you supposed to be at work? Are you two together?"
Feeling like an explanation to Fang Hao would be pointless, and not wanting her to know about Di Xiaxia’s injury, Di Mingzhe vaguely replied, "Yes, we are together. Something came up, I can’t talk right now."
"Son, son, make sure she calls me back!" Fang Hao started yelling before Di Mingzhe hung up.
"Alright." Di Mingzhe nodded, and just before hanging up, he couldn’t resist saying, "Mom, try not to yell at Xiaxia all the time."
Fang Hao paused. "When did I yell at her?"
When had she ever yelled at Di Xiaxia?
Wasn’t this just the normal way she and Di Xiaxia communicated? How did it turn into yelling in Boss’s interpretation?
She really liked Di Xiaxia, treated her no differently than a daughter. Now, she felt unjustly accused thanks to Di Mingzhe’s words!
"Son, son, explain." Fang Hao quickly grew unhappy. "Call Xiaxia over. You ask her yourself, have I ever yelled at her?"
Upon hearing this, even the usually nonchalant Di Mingzhe couldn’t help but argue, "Mom, Xiaxia is twenty-four now. You’re still shouting at her like she’s a kid. Isn’t that rather inappropriate?"
Fang Hao was more confused. Damn it, she shouted at her own children, didn’t she?
Why doesn’t it work with Di Xiaxia?
Hasn’t she also yelled at Di Mingzhe?
