An Ning frowned. "Tell me what happened first, then I'll decide whether or not to forgive you."
Yu Jingchen insisted. "You will agree to forgive me!"

"Five or six years ago, I..."
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Yu Jingchen's phone rang; it was a call from the headquarters.
He said to her, "Let me take this call first."
"Okay, okay!" An Ning nodded.
Yu Jingchen sighed; his hard-won courage was dissipated by this phone call. "Hello."
"Yu Jingchen, what have you been doing today? How could you act so impulsively? You must come to the company immediately!" The president had called him.
