Dongchen Han couldn't have been more frustrated. He wasn't a stranger to marital spats over phone calls, and a dead phone battery was a classic trope among them.
But he wasn't stupid. The truth was, his phone really had died, so he said awkwardly, "Yeah, it's a bit of a coincidence, huh?"
Su Xiaowan turned around, looking at Dongchen Han with disdain, and said coldly, "Humph, couldn't you find a better excuse? I'm going home."
As soon as Dongchen Han heard that, he quickly stepped forward to stop Su Xiaowan again. He glanced around from time to time; people were coming and going at the gate.
He had a lot of authority in his unit, but at that moment, he felt utterly terrible. Still, even so, he had to patiently and kindly persuade her, "Wife, don't be mad. My phone really is out of power. When have I ever lied to you?"
At this point, a few people walked in and after seeing Dongchen Han, they stood straight and saluted smartly, "Greetings, Deputy Han!"
