The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 150: His Privilege

She let out a soft "mm" and asked the other person, "Calling so late, Young Master Quan, is there something important?"

The sound of the rain didn’t cease, too noisy and annoying to the ears.

The man on the other end of the line said, "It’s nothing much, just wanted to hear Miss Gu’s voice."

Gu Yuan: "..."

"I initially just wanted to see if Miss Gu would pick up, considering how late it is. Miss Gu, you should rest early, staying up late is bad for your health, especially for girls." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

His voice was calm, unhurried, inexplicably giving a sense of reassurance.

Gu Yuan shook her head, wondering what she was thinking. She had never seen Quan Jin in person, it was merely a subconscious mental image. It’s also a common way men display their charm to women.

Gu Yuan held the phone between her ear and shoulder, her hands continuing to apply lotion, and told the person on the other end, "Work is busy, sometimes I come home very late; it can’t be avoided."

"But you still need to take care of your health. Miss Gu is so outstanding; there will always be someone in this world who cherishes you, cares for you, thinks about you, and can’t sleep at night because of you."

"..."

Gu Yuan pursed her lips; with Quan Jin’s concern for her, she had an illusion.

In her mind, she unconsciously imagined him as Chi Yu.

In the past, Chi Yu often said such things to her. If she didn’t listen, he would take action to make her comply. Looking back, during her time with Chi Yu, she hardly ever had insomnia, always feeling nourished and spirited.

Thinking about this made her think of Chi Yu, causing Gu Yuan’s expression to turn slightly cold.

After finishing applying the lotion, she stood with the phone by the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the pouring rain, she said to the person on the other end, "These are matters for the future. Did Young Master Quan specifically call me to say this? I don’t think it’s necessary."

The other side replied, "Hmm, I won’t mention it again."

After a pause, he continued, "There’s one more thing. Grandma has already conveyed your message to me. You’re right, our outlooks are not aligned, our interests don’t match, and we’re unsuitable in every aspect. I’ve also shared my thoughts with my grandma: people who aren’t suitable shouldn’t be forced together."

His words were full of sincerity.

Why sincere? Gu Yuan could hear it in his tone.

At least, she didn’t detect any perfunctoriness.

Gu Yuan, in good spirits, said, "Since Young Master Quan also understands this, I’m glad too. Let’s just take it as getting to know each other. It’s still an honor to meet someone like Young Master Quan."

"I feel the same way," he said.

His honor.

His immense honor.

The Gu Mansion is well soundproofed; Gu Yuan watched the rain pour outside, hearing almost no noise, yet listening to the strong rain sounds from the other side, she casually asked, "Is Young Master Quan outside?"

He replied, "Yes."

Gu Yuan: "Then get back and rest early, I should rest too."

He said, "Okay, I hope you have sweet dreams."

She said, "I will, you too."

After hanging up, Gu Yuan glanced at the screen. Quan Jin’s avatar was quite ordinary, just a photo of a spark turned into a picture, then used as an avatar.

She didn’t notice before, but now that she looked, the spark in the picture seemed to have dimmed a bit.

She wondered if it was her misconception.

However, she was a bit surprised by Quan Jin’s concern just now.

The Gu Mansion is large, large enough to house thousands, yet small enough that it couldn’t contain Gu Yuan’s fragility, but this concern was warm.
