Chapter 783
The cruise ship had WIFI. Before the call was even connected, she was already yearning for him impatiently, annoyed at how slow he was to answer. After all, shouldn’t a fiance answer immediately?
Little did she know, he hesitated because he didn’t recognize the incoming number.
Upon answering, he didn’t speak immediately. He habitually held the phone to his ear, waiting for the other person to speak first. It wasn’t until he heard the phrase laced with bitterness— “You jerk!” —that he was caught off guard.
Was it an illusion? The voice over the phone caused his heart to soften.
His deep voice instantly filled with warmth: “Is that you, Xingguang?”
It had been a full week since she last saw him, so the moment she heard his voice, Ye Xingguang couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness. Alone, she walked to the railing of the ship’s deck and started complaining, “Who else could it be but me? You are so annoying, I don’t even want to talk to you anymore!”noveldrama
At the time, he had switched bodies with Tang Zhou and didn’t even tell her!
She had been keeping tabs on Tang Zhou every day, hoping they would switch bodies again. But he refused to switch back. Did he even realize how much she missed him these past few days when she couldn’t see him?
Ye Xingguang was both angry and resentful, so she called him a jerk, not caring whether he liked it or not, “Where are you? If you don’t show up soon, I’m done with you!”
Upon hearing her saddened voice, his heart turned into a mess. He wished he could hold her close at that moment. Standing on the deck, he faced the sea breeze and spoke, “I’m right in front of you.”
“Don’t lie to me. There’s no one in front of me. You jerk, you were with me the other day and didn’t tell me, I don’t want to see you anymore.” Despite her words, she was yearning to see him.
“Look up and gaze forward. I can see you.” He stood there with a telescope, peering into the open sea. He spotted a girl in a long dress on a cruise ship. The telescope’s magnification was so powerful that he could even see the subtle changes in her facial expressions.
Ye Xingguang paused, looking up and forward, but she saw no one. However, she thought she could see a ship.
But because the distance was too great, she couldn’t clearly see him standing on the ship.
His voice, low and gentle, sounded enchanting, “I’m on the ship you see, do you see me?”
“See my foot! It’s too far, and I don’t have long-distance vision. Are you… truly on that ship?”
Why does it feel like another trick?
What are the odds? She wants to see him and he conveniently appears in front of her?
He must be fooling her, Ye Xingguang refused to believe it!
“I haven’t had the chance to see our baby for seven days, and I bet it’s grown a lot in its egg. I didn’t get to witness the baby’s growth every day, it’s so frustrating! We also couldn’t hold our engagement party as scheduled. Given the circumstances, am I still considered your fiancée? If you don’t marry me soon, I’m going to marry someone else!” Ye Xingguang despised her own lack of self-respect for being this forward.
But she had so much resentment bottled up inside that she just had to vent. She had grown accustomed to sleeping in his arms every night, but for the past seven days, she had to sleep alone. She wildly missed his dominant arms that held her tightly every night!
