Holding on to the end of the rope

Lu Tian dropped Yue Ling back at De L'amour after lunch and didn't forget to walk her to her office. He was reluctant to leave his wife, but knowing that they both had work to do, he could only go with a heavy heart.

Yue Ling felt her heart ached at how dejected Lu Tian looked when he left, but she knew it was for the best. She had to review a few documents and then head to An Qing with Liu Shan.

There was too much work that needed to be completed.

*Ring ring

While looking at some documents at her desk, her phone rings. She looked at the screen to check who was calling.

'Ji Jingxu.'

When she saw the name of the caller, she quickly answered the phone.

"Wow, now you remember to call your sister."

Her voice sounded with laughter, but she did not hear a response from the other line, her eyebrows furrowed. She moves the phone away to check the screen.
