Chapter 643: Chapter 643 What is the House Rule? (1)_1

Interrupted in her thoughts, Xia Wan’an glanced at the incoming call. It was from Han Jingnian. She didn’t give it much thought and casually answered, "Hello?"

There was silence on the other end of the line.

Xia Wan’an frowned, "Han Jingnian?"

Xia Wan’an waited a while longer. Seeing that Han Jingnian still didn’t say anything, she thought he dialed the wrong number. She pulled the phone away from her ear and hung up.

...

The evening hadn’t yet hit nine o’clock, and Han Jingnian, who had pulled himself away from dinner, returned home. After bathing the kitten and changing its food, litter, and water, he too took a shower, but Xia Wan’an still hadn’t returned home.

Unable to bear it anymore, he called her at exactly eleven ten in the evening.

He thought that once she answered the phone, she would remember something she had forgotten. But who knew, not only did she not remember, but she hung up his call without patience.

Han Jingnian, listening to the "beep—" sound after Xia Wan’an hung up the phone, waited for a while. Seeing that Xia Wan’an did not intend to call him back, he threw the phone away with a cold face.

The kitten, scared by his action, meowed and jumped away.

Han Jingnian gave the kitten a lukewarm glance and said to it, "Your mother doesn’t want you anymore". After the kitten jumped onto a high cabinet and made sure Han Jingnian couldn’t reach it, it meowed twice in dissatisfaction.

Han Jingnian appeared as if he couldn’t be bothered to argue with a cat. Then he stretched out his hand, picked up the phone he had thrown away, and called Xia Wan’an again.

...

The phone rang again. Xia Wan’an glanced at the call display. It was still Han Jingnian.

What was he up to? He called but didn’t talk... disturbing her thoughts...

Seeing that the phone wouldn’t stop ringing, Xia Wan’an answered it again, "Han Jingnian, if you have something to say..."

"What’s the house rule?" Before Xia Wan’an could finish her sentence, Han Jingnian interrupted her.

"What house rule?" Xia Wan’an reflexively shot back at Han Jingnian, then remembered he was referring to the house rules she established back when she believed he had a low sperm survival rate.

Remembering that Han Jingnian had initially lied about his health condition to cheer her up, a mixture of warmth and pain welled up inside Xia Wan’an. She remained silent for a moment before she replied in a natural tone, "The first rule is to be home by eleven. The second rule is..."

Before Xia Wan’an could continue, Han Jingnian’s cold voice came from the other side of the phone: "What time is it now?"

Xia Wan’an glanced at the time, "Eleven twenty-three..."

Before Xia Wan’an could finish her sentence, she stopped.

So this man, calling her and then beating around the bush asking about house rules, was indirectly questioning why she wasn’t home yet? Could he be any more tsundere?

Just as Xia Wan’an was grumbling to herself, Han Jingnian’s voice came again, "It’s okay for the official to set fires but the common people can’t light a lamp."

Xia Wan’an: "..." Was it her imagination? Why did she sense a deep resentment from Han Jingnian through this sentence?

"No, nothing like that. Today’s an exception, I’m with Yixiao... I promise I’ll call you in advance if anything similar happens again, okay... dear~"

Han Jingnian’s tone softened noticeably when he spoke next: "Where are you? I’ll come pick you up."
