The phone rang twice before it was connected, and Gu Ningyi's uniquely cool voice came through, interwoven with threads of softness, "Xinyan."
Not sure if the shock in her heart had passed yet, Dong Xin Yan listened to his voice, her heart skipped a beat, she swallowed, and then softly spoke, "Mr. Gu, um... I received the things you had Secretary Lin send over."
Gu Ningyi did not respond immediately, Dong Xin Yan heard him say something on the other end, as if pausing some meeting. Dong Xin Yan hadn't expected he would be in a meeting, hurriedly saying, "Mr. Gu, if you're in a meeting, I won't disturb you. I'll call you later."
"No need."
Gu Ningyi replied lightly. Then Dong Xin Yan heard the sound of a chair moving, the rustle of clothes, and finally the faint sound of footsteps.
He seemed to have walked to a quieter place before continuing, "The gift, do you like it?"
Like it.
Of course, she liked it.
