Butler Li had never lied to him in decades, so even though the expression on his face was really weird, Sikong Jingqiu didn't have any doubts. He just said "Don't talk for too long", bowed his head and continued working.
Haiyue really thought it was a call from her father or mother. She took the phone and wanted to answer it directly, but she saw Butler Li winking at her.
Her face turned pale as she suddenly understood.[
This call was not from my father or mother at all, but from Yi Zhentian!
He couldn't bear it anymore and called home!
Haiyue withdrew her hand that was about to take the phone, turned around and said to Sikong Jingqiu, who was dealing with business, "I'll go outside and answer the phone, and I'll be right back."
"No need." Sikong Jingqiu said without raising his head, "I'm not having a video conference right now. You won't disturb me if you answer it in the study."
With Sikong Jingqiu's behavior, Haiyue didn't know what excuse to find to leave.
She hesitated at the door for a long time before saying, "Uh... I'd better go out and pick her up."
With that said, Haiyue quietly nudged Butler Li with her elbow, signaling him to say something quickly.
Butler Li has never told a lie in his life. Those few words just now have almost killed him. How can he know what to say to help Haiyue?
But keeping silent will only make the young master more suspicious...
So Butler Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Uh... Young Master... let the wife pick you up outside. I just heard from the wife's father that she seems to have something to say..."
Butler Li, who had never been in the habit of interfering in his employer's phone calls, actually asked Haiyue about something as trivial as whether she wanted to go out to answer the phone. This made Sikong Jingqiu wary.
He raised his head, glanced at the two people at the door who had equally unnatural expressions, his eyes flickered, he lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "Steward Li, take Haiyue to the bedroom to pick her up."
Sikong Jingqiu noticed that when he finished saying this, the two people at the door breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
