What’s the Point of Being So Defensive?

Ye Ci made a gesture and handed her phone over.

"Sister Ning Li, Mom wants to talk to you."

Ning Li did not take over the phone and only swept a glance at Ye Ci as she asked in a light voice, "Are you telling her about what Mr. Li told you today in the office?"

Ye Ci froze at once.

Ning Li was talking about Li Guangyuan asking Ye Ci to discuss with her family about withdrawing from the competition.

How could she bring it up to Su Yuan?

Su Yuan obviously heard Ning Li's words and asked, "The office? Mr. Li? Lil Ci, what is it about?"

"Give me the phone," Ning Li said as she reached out to take Ye Ci's phone.

Ye Ci's hand quickly shrank back.

"No, no… Sister Ning Li, you only just came back, so you'd better go wash up first. Otherwise, it'll be too late later."

The corner of Ning Li's lips hooked up lightly as she brushed past Ye Ci.
