The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1335: Chapter 696: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc – Do You Not Want to Hear My Voice?

Thinking of this, she inexplicably felt an impulse to cry. It wasn’t that she was being melodramatic; she just genuinely felt uncomfortable.

As she hesitated, the ringing of the phone, which had been incessantly going off, suddenly stopped, and immediately the screen went dark.

Ning Wan’s eyes widened as she looked at the now black screen in her hand. She was startled, and with trembling fingers, she turned the screen back on and clearly saw the missed call notification.

Not answering his call—could Xi Mohan be... angry?

Just the thought of it filled her with a sudden sense of fear,

On the other side, the man saw the call was automatically disconnected, and his face indeed darkened. But after calculating the current local time in An City, it seemed to be around 10 or 11 PM, at which time Ning Wan should probably be asleep, which eased his mind somewhat.

Still, he immediately dialed the number again.

When Ning Wan was already feeling extremely anxious, her phone rang again, nearly scaring her enough to drop it. Fortunately, she managed to calm herself down just in time.

Seeing that familiar number, Ning Wan took a deep breath before sliding the answer key and putting the phone to her ear, "Hello..."

The girl’s voice sounded a bit cautious, and more importantly, a bit hoarse.

The man spoke heavily, "What were you doing just now?"

Ning Wan’s heart skipped a beat. Looking down at her bare feet on the floor, she forced a tired smile and said, "I was sleeping just now. Just woke up to answer your call, and it automatically hung up."

"And you couldn’t call me back?" Xi Mohan squinted his eyes as he said this, "Or is it that you simply don’t want to hear my voice?"

Ning Wan’s heart tightened. She could already hear the anger in his tone, and she couldn’t help but purse her lips.

She realized she really didn’t understand him as well as she thought.

The Xi Mohan in her memory was always a man of few words, someone who could suppress his temper remarkably well and would almost never get angry or upset.

But ever since he brought her to the villa and she started living here, she discovered that Mo Han was not as difficult to anger as she once thought, and every time he spoke, there was a coldness in his tone that could almost freeze someone.

Suddenly, she doubted which version was the true Xi Mohan.

Not hearing the girl’s voice, the man’s already grim expression grew even darker, and his voice deepened as he called her name directly, "Ning Wan!"

Ning Wan snapped back to attention, her voice now touched with innocence, "I was really sleeping just now. When you called, I thought I was hearing things. It’s not that I didn’t want to hear your voice."

Though she hadn’t actually been asleep, she was very close. When her phone rang, she thought she wasn’t fully awake yet, so she was in a daze. Seeing the caller ID, she only hesitated for a moment before it automatically hung up.

This can’t really be blamed on her...

Hearing this, Xi Mohan felt considerably relieved, and his tone lost its earlier harshness. He said directly, "You start school in a couple of days. I’ll have my assistant take you to handle the enrollment procedures. If you need to buy anything, you can do so yourself. There’s a bank card in the drawer of your nightstand; the pin is your birthday."
