Chapter 214: Chapter 214: It’s the Home Phone Number

Why, despite clearly not loving you, can I never let you go?

Why, knowing full well that you don’t love me, can I still not let go, no longer having the heart to hurt you...

"What spell have I cast on you?" she asked inexplicably.

Rong Shaoze lifted his head, let go of her without answering. He walked to the bed and sat down, crossed his legs on the bed, leaned his back against the headboard, and quietly watched her.

Lin Xinlan was inexplicably questioned by him, and now inexplicably watched by him, prompting her to doubtfully touch her face.

"Is there something dirty on my face?"

He simply curved his lips into a smile without answering.

Lin Xinlan went to the vanity to look in the mirror, just as her phone rang. She took it out and saw it was a call from home; her face changed, and she hurriedly dismissed the call.

"Why didn’t you answer?" Rong Shaoze’s puzzled voice came from behind her.

With her back to him, Lin Xinlan deleted the call log before turning around calmly: "It’s nothing, probably a wrong number."

The man’s gaze turned sharp; he had already seen her actions in the mirror!

She had deleted the call log; was it because she feared he might learn something?

Putting her phone on the vanity, Lin Xinlan headed for the bathroom.

When she used to be busy with work, if her family called, she would dismiss the call and call back later.

After numerous times, her mother stopped calling once she started dismissing them.

She thought her mother wouldn’t call again, but just as she reached the bathroom door, she heard the phone ring.

She turned abruptly, intending to answer it, but Rong Shaoze’s actions were faster. He strode forward, picked up the phone, and connected: "Hello, who is this?"

Lin Xinlan’s face turned pale with shock!

Desperately, she lunged to snatch the phone away, but the man fended her off with one hand, tilted his body slightly, and as he heard the voice on the other end, his eyes darkened and his expression became stern.

"Rong Shaoze, give me back my phone!" Lin Xinlan yelled, desperate with urgency.

What should I do, who is the person speaking?

Is it mom, it’s okay, but what if it’s Xiaocong?

"Rong Shaoze, hurry up and give me my phone. You’re going too far; how can you answer someone else’s phone? Don’t you understand the concept of respecting someone’s privacy?!" In her desperation, she screamed disregardfully.

The man turned around, and before her eyes, he hung up the phone directly.

"You..."

Rong Shaoze coldly chuckled, his eyes frosty: "Why so agitated, feeling guilty?"

Lin Xinlan didn’t speak, uncertain of the meaning behind his words.

Seeing her not responding, Rong Shaoze shouted angrily: "Speak up, what are you feeling guilty and agitated about?!"

"I... don’t understand what you’re talking about... who was that on the phone just now?"

Rong Shaoze raised a hint of mockery, no trace of humor in his eyes: "How could you not know who it was? Otherwise, why would you be so afraid of me finding out?"

Lin Xinlan was confused, who was it that called?

"Give me the phone." She reached out her hand toward him.

Rong Shaoze clenched the phone tightly, not giving it to her.

"Give it to me!" She pulled on his hand to take it, Rong Shaoze shook her off, and suddenly smashed the phone onto the ground, shattering it.

Lin Xinlan was stunned, her frustration rising as she looked up: "Rong Shaoze, what are you doing?! Why are you so angry, can’t you just say it, and stop being so unreasonable?!"

Unreasonable again!

Was he really that irrational? If he was being unreasonable, then why was she so afraid of him knowing?

If it wasn’t guilt, what was she getting so worked up over!
