Chapter 233: Not a Ripple in the Heart

At night, Auntie Cui got up to cook a late-night snack for Jiang Yi and He Tang.

Before the two had finished eating, Auntie Cui, draped in her clothes, returned to her room to sleep.

Both were bent over their food, and the dining room was unusually quiet.

He Tang's phone rang abruptly, and she, as if jolted, quickly picked up her phone and stepped out of Jiang Yi's sight.

By the time He Tang returned after the call, the lean pork congee in her bowl had cooled down.

Looking tense, He Tang said to Jiang Yi, "Jiang Yi, I can't stay with you tonight; something urgent has come up."

Jiang Yi propped her chin on her hands and looked at He Tang.

It was now midnight, and Jiang Yi couldn't understand what could be so important that she had to leave.

As He Tang picked up her handbag and moved toward the hallway,

Jiang Yi stood up, seized the keys from the coffee table, and said, "I'll drive you."

Seeing this, He Tang immediately panicked.
