Seeing how happy the girl looked...
Forget it.
Ruan Nuan silently comforted herself. Wasn't it just one time of putting on a brave face?
It wasn't anything major.
Chen Xi was momentarily at a loss.
But she quickly broke into a smile.
"Teacher Ruan, thank you."
She stood up.
Then she bent at the waist toward Ruan Nuan.
"Thank you so much."
"Sorry for the trouble..."
"I'm sorry..."
But for Huan Huan's sake, the girl forced down her unease about troubling someone and let herself be selfish for once.
As long as Huan Huan could come back...
She would do anything.
She was willing to do anything.
Even though her heart was pounding so loudly that her ears nearly rang.
Her face was burning, too.
Her whole body was in a strange state.
Burning hot, yet icy cold.
"Stop."
Ruan Nuan grabbed the girl's elbow and firmly straightened her up.
"Once is enough."
Did this girl think she was a tape recorder?
And besides...
This girl was far too polite.
It put pressure on her without her even realizing it.
She had said she was willing to call her senior and ask her to get in touch with Master Xiao, to tell him that Chen Xi wanted to see him...
But this was only an attempt.
In the end, Master Xiao might not agree to come.
As for her senior, Ruan Nuan thought that given their relationship, she would be willing to make a phone call.
As for Master Xiao...
She really wasn't close to him.
And Master Xiao wasn't close to her, either.
When it came to whether Master Xiao would be willing to come...
She wasn't optimistic.
Especially since the girl wasn't willing to tell her anything.
What could she say to persuade Master Xiao?
