Ch 18 - Second Generation Ancestor x Illegitimate Child: How Disappointing

All of a sudden, the sound of a phone vibrating disturbed the peace in the room. Ye Zhi held his phone and looked at Lin Sui very apologetically, saying a little flustered: “Young master, it’s my home’s phone number, can I go pick up the call first?”

Lin Sui lifted his eyes, his tone casual: “Just answer it here.”

Ye Zhi was fixed in place by his gaze, and could only stiffly connect the call.

“I remember telling you to not cross the line, look for an excuse to leave his room now.”

The voice coming through the phone was deeply angry. When he heard this, Ye Zhi immediately put on a worried expression, saying: “Got it.”

The call was hung up, and Ye Zhi looked at Lin Sui with a face burning with anxiety: “Young master, there was an emergency at home, I have to go back.”

It seemed to be a really urgent matter, even his face turned pale with worry.

Ye Zhi looked at the young man under the lights, and his heart tightened when he was swept over by that inexplicable gaze.

In that instant, he even felt that the person in front of him could see through his disguise, watching his performance with considerable amusement, like a viper moving slowly through the shadows, which could frighten people’s hearts even if it never moved and simply coiled itself in place.

After a long time, or perhaps after a single moment, Ye Zhi heard a soft voice carrying a trace of a smile.

“Go.”

Ye Zhi hurriedly left the room as though he had been granted amnesty.

It was only when the movement outside the closed door faded away that Lin Sui laughed.

“Really can’t take a joke ah.”

The low murmur blended into the night.
