"No, it's in a city next to Paris." Ye Jiani said with a smile, "I came here for a cross-border case. I happened to see you while reading the news online, and I didn't know you were in France."
"Well, let's meet tomorrow." Gu Xiaoai said.
After hanging up Ye Jiani's phone, Gu Xiaoai dialed Li Juefeng's number again, but the man still didn't answer. She was used to it and dialed twice more.
She called three times, and if he didn't answer, she would call three more times.
When the call was connected for the third time, Li Juefeng's sleepy voice rang with dissatisfaction, "You won't call the fourth time?"
Gu Xiaoai could imagine him staring at the phone screen with sleepy eyes as it rang again and again...
"Are you sleeping?" At this time, it was midnight in China. She didn't want to disturb his sleep, but she knew that he would be even more upset if she didn't fight.
"I woke up because of you." Li Juefeng snorted coldly.
"Then I won't fight in the middle of the night next time."
"How dare you!" Li Juefeng gritted his teeth.
His temper was still so bad in the middle of the night.
"Then go to bed quickly. I'll call you tomorrow." Gu Xiaoai said softly.
"Gu Xiaoai, can you not call me in a coaxing tone?" Li Juefeng was quite unhappy. Her half-coaxing, half-persuading tone always made him look like an unreasonable child.
…
Then don't act like a child.
Gu Xiaoai was thinking in her heart, and then said, "Remember to drink a glass of milk before going to bed, not coffee."
"Wordy." Li Juefeng snorted but did not hang up the phone.
Gu Xiaoai was about to say something when she heard a small sound in the quiet air over Li Juefeng. Gu Xiaoai asked, "What are you doing?"
"Do you still have that bottle of water? I've finished spraying such a small bottle." Li Juefeng murmured in a low voice, a little annoyed.
"What water?" Gu Xiaoai was confused.
"It's nothing." Li Juefeng mumbled, and after a few seconds said again, "Don't hang up the phone, you can do it if you have something to do."
"...Li Juefeng, this is an international long distance call."
"If you don't let me hang up, I won't let you hang up. Just do your thing." Li Juefeng snorted coldly, his tone extremely domineering.
Gu Xiaoai couldn't resist Li Juefeng, so she had to put her phone into her bag casually, put on her headphones, and walked towards Xiaoyao and the others...
*************************
After making an appointment, Gu Xiaoai took a taxi to an authentic French cafe. The rich aroma of coffee wafted around.
Seeing Ye Jiani again, Gu Xiaoai found that she looked very good. She was dressed like a professional woman. The long shirt with ruffles perfectly showed off her ability as a lawyer without losing her feminine beauty.
Lying on her lap and squinting his eyes, he seemed to be sleeping.
Ye Jiani was sitting outside the window facing the sun, her whole body bathed in the sunshine.
"You seem to be in a good mood." Gu Xiaoai said with a smile.
A year ago, Ye Jiani and Li Juesi broke up and set off for Ireland. Gu Xiaoai still remembers the retreating figure as so thin and haggard, as if a heavy burden had been placed on her, making Ye Jiani's back look a little bent...
After Ye Jiani went to Ireland, they kept talking on the phone for a certain period of time, but they never met.
The last time we met was during the Chinese New Year, when we were having a reunion dinner at her uncle's house, Ye Jiani's face no longer had the trace of melancholy and sadness that was so suppressed that she could not breathe...
