Iris could hear Long Hui panting after his outburst. She waited for him to calm down. It seemed that the man wasn't so cold and indifferent after all.
"I don't even know why I'm telling you all of these," Long Hui finally said. "You must be thinking that I'm being ridiculous."
"Yes."
"You…" He was speechless for a few moments. "You could've just denied it, you know."
"Why?"
"To make me feel better and not embarrass me."
"But I don't care if you feel better or embarrassed."
"You! I'm your elder brother, you know!"
"I know. But I still don't care."
He didn't know how to respond to her nonchalant, brutal honesty. Afterwards, he sighed deeply. "Forget it. I shouldn't have even called you. If you're not interested in helping me, just say so."
Iris chuckled. Teasing this man was proving to be quite enjoyable. "I didn't say that I'm not interested. Actually, I'm very interested."
"Really?"
"Yes. By the way, how old is your child?"
