She was about to throw it out of the window when she remembered what Qian told her. Hua Shengan took out the manual and smiled as she read it. After lying down on her bed, she checked the phone out and dialed the only number saved in the contacts.
After a while, no one answered, and she realized how dumb she was. It was the middle of the night right now, so Xiao Chengjue must be sleeping! She was about to hang up the call when someone picked up.
Hua Shengan didn’t know how to respond, so she kept quiet.
“Did I spoil you too much that you forgot your place?” Xiao Chengjue’s irritated voice came from the other side of the call.
“I’m sorry, I forgot about it. I just want to say thank you. You can sleep now, and I won’t disturb you anymore,” Hua Shengan apologized.
Her relationship with Xiao Chengjue was merely a deal that benefited both of them, but she totally forgot where she stood. She was going to end the call, but he hung up first.
When Hua Shengan was about to fall asleep herself, the phone rang out of the blue. She flinched, and her heart pounded rapidly as she took deep breaths to calm herself.
Xiao Chengjue was calling her. Hua Shengan picked up the call anxiously.
It was silent. Just when Hua Shengan’s patience almost ran out, he piped up, “How do you like it? Calling people in the middle of the night is fun, right?” His sluggish voice was filled with sarcasm.
“Mr. Xiao, I slept the moment I reached home. Hence, I only opened the box now and forgot about the time because I was excited,” Hua Shengan explained as she rolled her eyes. I already apologized, yet he still doesn’t want to let it go. Such a petty man! If it wasn’t because I needed something from him, I would’ve cussed at him.
“Are you insulting me?” His voice turned cold with a hint of a scoff.
“No, how could I? I’m only saying thanks!” Hua Shengan stuck out her tongue and looked around her room. He couldn’t have bugged my room, right?
“How deceitful of you. Since you woke me up, what are you going to do about it?” A heavy breath came from his side as if he just flipped over on his bed.
“I apologize for that. I’ll hang up now, so you can sleep in peace.” Although Hua Shengan said that, she didn’t dare to end the call. Who knows whether this man would let her off the hook.
“I want you to sing or tell me a story. Without my command, you can’t stop. Otherwise, I will come right now and force you to repay me with your body.”
Hua Shengan was astonished at his request. Is this really Xiao Chengjue? The legend of the business world? Wh she was stunned, Xiao Chengjue spoke again, “The last person who called me in the middle of the night sleeping eternally under the sea. If you want, you can accompany him!” He threatened.
“I’ll sing then,” Hua Shengan replied with a pout.
I’ll just imagine that I’m singing my son to sleep!

Hua Shengan didn’t know when did she fall asleep last night. When she woke up, her throat was extremely dry, and the call had been hung up long time ago. That damn Xiao Chengjue. He’s such a bastard!
There was only Lin Xue at the dining table, and it seemed like everyone else had already taken their breakfast. Hua Shengan sat on her seat and looked at Aunt Rong.
“Aunt Rong, I want some pic!” Hua Shengan said, then she took a sip of the milk on the table. It relieved her sore throat.
“Good morning, miss,” Aunt Rong greeted Hua Shengan and went into the kitchen. Hua Shengan looked at Lin Xue, noticing that her bowl and plate were empty. She must’ve just finished her food.
