Her phone rang a few times but no one picked up.
Gu Qiqi raised her eyebrows slightly and reminded her. "Xiao Ning, it's your phone."
"Oh, yes. Ahem, ahem, ahem… I understand." A trace of panic inexplicably flashed across Xiao Ning's face. She fumbled in her bag for her phone.
She saw the words "Little Uncle" on the caller ID.
Her legs and stomach went soft.
After taking a few steps back, she picked up the call with trembling hands.
The man's mocking voice carried a trace of coldness as it traveled from the receiver. "Little Lemon, I remember telling you before that if you don't answer after the phone rings thrice… What will the consequences be? Come, tell Uncle?"
Xiao Ning's small face scrunched up in frustration. She was afraid that Gu Qiqi behind her would hear this, but she was also afraid that the man over the phone would be unhappy.
