The TV was playing a romance drama, with a well-known lawyer as the handsome male lead, perfectly fitting her fantasy of romantic heroes.
However, even though the male lead was off-the-charts handsome, her gaze seemed to pass through him, her ears still ringing with his recent response, "I'm at home."
Why did he feel the need to lie? He clearly wasn't at home.
Perhaps, Gu Qili's sudden silence had alerted Mu Shuoqian; he listened carefully to the sounds from the other end of the phone—she was watching TV.
She never used to watch TV while they talked on the phone. She mentioned the TV was broken and she had no desire to have it fixed since she didn't really want to watch it, especially because her workload from City A kept her so busy that even after work at the hotel, she still had many documents to attend to.
He had a nagging feeling that something was off, causing Mu Shuoqian to ask involuntarily, "Where are you?"
