She glanced at it and saw it was a video call from Chu Xing.

After Song Mai pressed the answer button, the man's enlarged handsome face appeared on the screen.

He has returned home and can be seen in the living room in the background.

Song Mai had just taken a shower, but her hair was not completely dried, so it was a little damp and casually draped behind her head. The dim light made her skin look even whiter than jade, and her unmade-up face looked clean and lazy.

She was wearing loose pajamas and had one hand on the keyboard of her laptop.

"doing what?"

The man's voice was a little low and hoarse. The room was quiet, and the voice went straight into Song Mai's ears, pleasant and seductive.

She finally understood what it meant that sound could make the ears pregnant.

That's probably it.

"I'm processing some documents for tomorrow. There are still some unfinished work."

Looking at the pile of documents at hand, Song Mai pinched his brows.

Hearing this, the man frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed a bit of heartache.

"Why are you still working so late? Don't get too tired."

Song Mai smiled indifferently:

"Well, it's okay. The intensity of the work is not bad. I can accept it. The salary Yunxing gives matches my work intensity. Even if I am a little busy, I feel comfortable."

For workers, they are not afraid of too much work or hard work, but they are afraid that the salary and benefits given by the company do not match their efforts and busyness.

But obviously this does not exist in Yunxing, which is definitely a conscientious enterprise.

"That's good. Don't work too hard. Remember to tell me if anything happens."

"it is good."

The man's concern made Song Mai feel a little warmer in her heart, and the smile on her little face became even more intense.

Chu Xing didn't say anything else, but just looked at her through the phone screen, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

The air was so quiet that Song Mai felt a little awkward for a moment.

Just when she was trying to find a topic to start, the man suddenly asked:

"Did you miss me?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Mai's cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.

She said stubbornly, "No, I was busy with my schedule today and didn't have time to think about it."

She didn't expect it to be fake. Ever since she and Chu Xing officially established a romantic relationship, she couldn't help thinking of him every day no matter how busy she was.

I would wonder what he is doing, whether he is busy, and whether he has eaten well.

These seemed to have become her daily routine.

She refused to admit it, and the man snorted coldly:

"You little heartless guy, remember to tell me when you come back."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you when it's settled."

The two chatted for a while. Seeing that she had not finished her work, Chu Xing stopped disturbing her. He said something else and hung up.

Song Mai was already feeling a little drowsy, but Chu Xing's call successfully perked her up a little. Her sleepiness was somewhat dispelled, and she rolled up her sleeves and got back to work.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xing went to the study as usual, carrying the bag containing the laptop.

In fact, he had just arrived home when he called Song Mai.

She was busy on a business trip, and he was no better than her, in fact, even worse.

Just as he turned on his computer and prepared to work, the phone rang.

Chu Xing frowned when he saw the number jumping on the phone screen, and he didn't answer the phone until it was about to be hung up.

As soon as the phone was picked up, the middle-aged man's voice, with a bit of majesty and anger, came out from the receiver.

"I heard that the old man arranged a marriage partner for you, and you got married to that woman. What's going on?"

The man on the other end of the phone was none other than his father Chu Mingqian.

Chu Xing had no patience for him and his voice was indifferent.

"You already know everything, so why are you asking? It's just what you already know."

Chu Mingqian was already angry, and became even more displeased when he heard his attitude.

"What's your attitude? The old man is confused because of his age. Are you confused too? Who did he introduce you to? Do you know what kind of person she is? Do you know her specific situation? Have you asked for my and your mother's opinions? How dare you get married rashly!"

Chu Mingqian's angry voice rang out from the receiver, and Chu Xing's brows furrowed more and more.

"I understand. Besides, the person Grandpa chose couldn't be wrong. Didn't you and my mom always urge me to get married soon? Now you don't want to?"

As soon as Chu Mingqian learned the news, he called Chu Xing. If the old man hadn't let it slip, he would have known nothing about this and wouldn't have known that his son was already married.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I didn’t even know my son was getting married. How can this be possible?

So he immediately asked someone to check Song Mai's information, and then called Chu Xing.

"It's not that I don't want to. Your mother and I both think that you are not young anymore. Since you have established a career, you should start a family sooner. But you shouldn't have gotten the certificate without telling your mother and me, and you shouldn't have just found a random cat or dog to get married. It's true that the old man introduced that woman to you, but he is old and his mind is not so clear. He doesn't know much about this woman. How dare you get married directly?"

Hearing this, Chu Xing's face instantly darkened and his voice became much sharper.

"She's not a cat or a dog. I know her. She's very good. Grandpa's judgment is correct. As for why I didn't tell you, I don't think it's necessary."

Chu Mingqian is currently the supreme commander of the peacekeeping force and has been working abroad for 20 years. His mother Qin Jizhi is a consul in the embassy. Both of them have been stationed abroad since Chu Xing was a few years old and rarely came back in the following 20 years.

Because of this, Chu Xing's feelings towards them were extremely weak. He grew up with Grandpa Chu and was educated by him. It was Grandpa Chu who had been worrying about his affairs over the years, and they, as his parents, had hardly ever cared about him.

When he was a child, his grandfather helped him deal with everything, and they could not always get in touch with their parents. When they did, they would just say a few words of concern.

The old man deliberately didn't tell them about his marriage, fearing that they would not agree with Song Mai. After all, Song Mai's family background was there, and they might not agree. He thought that after Chu Xing and Song Mai gave Chu Mingqian and Qin Jizhi a grandson, there would be nothing they could do even if they disagreed.

Chu Xing, on the other hand, felt from the bottom of his heart that there was no need to say anything. When he was young, they didn't care about him. Now that he had grown up, there was no need to report to them about his marriage. Besides, he didn't want them to interfere.

Since you didn't care about him before, it's best not to care about him forever. You haven't fulfilled your obligations as a parent. Why should you care about his affairs in the name of a parent and under the banner of doing it for his own good?
