The ringtone suddenly echoed through the living room once again.
Lu Xie, who had already been mentally battered by two different Ji Boda’s two consecutive calls, nearly jumped from her seat.
For a brief moment, her face became pale.
However, the moment she saw the caller ID, her expression changed completely.
She calmed down.
Then she blushed.
She thought something then didn’t do anything.
A faint red color spread across her cheeks.
Li Qing and Lu Mu noticed it.
The husband sitting right there also noticed it.
The atmosphere instantly became strange.
Li Qing’s eyes narrowed.
Lu Mu’s brows twitched.
Both parents felt a bad premonition.
A very bad premonition.
Meanwhile, Lu Shu was already reaching for the phone.
Nobody stopped him.
After all, everyone was curious.
After Ji Boda and Assistant Ji Boda, what other disaster could possibly appear?
The caller ID displayed a simple name.
Honey.
Lu Shu, Li Qing and Lu Mu’s eyes widened.
Even Lin Mo looked over.
Without hesitation, Lu Shu answered the call and put it on speaker.
The next second, a voice drifted out.
It wasn’t the voice of a man.
It wasn’t the voice of a boy.
It wasn’t the voice of an old man.
It was the voice of a young woman.
A mature, enchanting, royal-sister type voice.
The kind of voice that naturally attracted attention.
The kind of voice that made people subconsciously listen.
For a brief moment, everyone in the room was stunned.
Even Lu Shu was slightly dazed.
After all, during his previous life as Shinzu Hatori, he had spent most of his time fighting curses, training, studying cursed techniques, or nearly dying.Hearing such a voice was admittedly rare.
As for his first life well,he only talked to his mother and little sister.
He didn’t talk to any baby girl, young girls, adult women or even grandma’s till his last second of life.
Then the woman spoke.
“Honey, my sweet caramel popcorn,
Did you come back from your business trip?
I miss you so much.
Much, much, much.
(Kisses.)
You naughty girl, when will you come to my home?
Thinking about you day and night has made my longing for you grow even stronger.
Hurry and come to the XXX Hotel tonight.
We will celebrate your birthday together with my peach cake.
Just thinking about it is enough to make my body feel warm.
I want to hold you close, shower you with affection, and lose myself in your embrace.
I want to be completely lost in your sweet intoxicating embrace.
Oh, honey, my sweet caramel, just imagining tonight makes me feel excited.
You must come tonight.
See you.
❤️”
Click.
The call ended.
Silence.
Complete silence.
The room became so quiet that the ticking of a wall clock could be heard.
Nobody moved.
Nobody spoke.
Nobody even blinked.
Lu Xie lowered her head in embarrassment.
Her face had turned completely red.
Meanwhile, Lu Mu, Li Qing, and Lu Shu all slowly turned toward Lin Mo.
Then they slowly turned toward Lu Xie.
Their brains had stopped functioning.
Even Lu Shu’s legendary “brain-damaged novel detector” was struggling.
What kind of plot was this?
Ji Boda.
Assistant Ji Boda.
Now Honey the fox spirit.
At this point even Lu Shu was beginning to doubt reality itself.
Li Qing was the first to recover.
As a mother, she asked the question that everyone wanted answered.
“Xi…
Xie’er…”
Her voice trembled slightly.
“The one who just called…”
“Was a boy, right?”
“Right?”
The hope in her voice was obvious.
Very obvious.
Unfortunately, reality was cruel.
Lu Xie took a deep breath.
Then she spoke.
“Mother, Father, Brother, and Lin Mo.”
“The person who called just now was Tang Ning.”
“She is twenty-six years old.”
“She works as a doctor at City Centre Hospital.”
“She is a woman.”
Silence.
The living room became even quieter.
Lu Xie continued.
“She was the doctor who took care of me after Ji Boda went abroad for his studies.”
“For the past three years…”
“We have been together.”
The silence deepened.
Li Qing’s pupils trembled.
Lu Shu felt his worldview cracking.
Then Lu Xie delivered the final strike.
“Although both of us are women, so we couldn’t do that…”
“But we did everything that can be done.”
Boom.
Tens of thousands hydrogen bombs blasted in everyone’s mind.
Li Qing’s eyes rolled upward.
She fainted instantly.
Lu Mu clutched his chest.
For a brief moment, everyone thought he was about to have a heart attack.
Lu Shu’s mouth opened so wide that a dozen eggs could fit inside.
His first life’s knowledge.
His second life’s knowledge.
None of them had prepared him for this.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo looked completely different from everyone else.
Instead of shock.
Instead of despair.
Instead of heartbreak.
He looked relieved.
Truly relieved.
Like a man who had just survived a catastrophe.
Like someone who had been informed that the execution scheduled for tomorrow had been canceled.
Like someone thought their wife CHEAT with their best friend, but it was an illusion only.
The expression was so obvious that even Lu Shu noticed it.
“Wait…”
Lu Shu stared at Lin Mo.
“Why do you look happy?”
Lin Mo immediately coughed and looked away.
“I-I’m not.”
Nobody believed him.
Not a single person.
Soon, Lu Xie and Lu Shu worked together to carry the unconscious Li Qing and nearly unconscious Lu Mu to their room.
It wasn’t easy.
Especially for Lu Shu.
After all, both of his legs were technically broken.
He was basically functioning through stubbornness and cursed energy.
After being placed on the bed and given water, the exhausted parents finally experienced what their brains desperately wanted.
Shutdown.
Within minutes, both fell asleep.
Or perhaps “escaped reality” was the more accurate description.
Soon afterward, the mansion became much quieter.
The morning sun gradually started rising.
In the living room, only three people remained.
Lu Xie, Lin Mo And Lu Shu.
The three sat on the couch.
Nobody knew what to say.
Nobody knew where to begin.
So they simply waited.
Waiting for Doctor Tang Ning to arrive and check on the parents.
And waiting for whatever shocking revelation would appear next.
