Tang Anzhi took the opportunity of Huangfu Zheng answering the phone to pull the thin quilt over herself and slipped back into her clothes underneath it.
She had heard that ringtone several times before, so she was certain he was going to leave.
What could possibly require him to leave at this late hour?
Hadn't he just come back? A wave of concern washed over her...
Huangfu Zheng came back to the bed after finishing his call and said, "Wife, I have to go. I won't be back tonight. You should sleep on your own!"
"...Okay," Tang Anzhi had expected this. "Be careful."
"Hmm, don't worry, it's just some minor matters," Huangfu Zheng reassured her and then quickly began to put on the clothes that were set aside. Within a minute, he was fully dressed. "I'm off then, you should sleep early."
"Okay, just be careful," Tang Anzhi told him as she watched.
After nodding, Huangfu Zheng turned and left the bedroom without looking back.
