Reborn, she saved the boy who was bullied to death

Chapter 428 Taking the initiative to contact is rare

Deep in the ancient and solemn Min residence.

The night is as dark as ink, and the moonlight shines through the exquisite window lattices, sprinkling mottledly on the smooth marble floor, adding a touch of mystery to this quiet space.

At this moment, a sudden phone call broke the silence.

Chi Yunning was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding an old photo album tightly in her hands, with a hint of sadness and nostalgia in her eyes.

The sudden ringing of the bell disturbed her thoughts.

She looked up and saw the contact on the phone on the table. She quickly stood up and pressed the answer button with trembling fingers: "Hello, Dad, it's Mom's body..."

Her voice was a little anxious and hoarse.

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Chi's voice came at the right time, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness and comfort: "Your mother is fine, don't worry."

These words instantly melted the ice in Chi Yunning's heart, letting her heart slowly settle down.

However, the next question made her frown again: "You scared me. But, you took the initiative to call, is there something you want?"

After all, in this family, the father is always the taciturn one who rarely expresses his emotions, and it is rare for him to take the initiative to contact you.

Mr. Chi snorted softly on the other end of the phone, his voice filled with a hint of arrogance and helplessness: "Well, I want to find Min Yuting. I called him, but no one answered. Is this kid really that busy?"

Hearing this, Chi Yunning couldn't help but smile gently, and the tension in her heart dissipated.

"Oh, Yu Ting is taking a shower and his phone is not with him. Is there something urgent you want to talk to Yu Ting about?"

Her voice was soft and concerned, trying to grasp more information from her father's words.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Min's house seemed to become more subtle because of this phone call.

Chi Yunning became even more curious. You know, after that incident, her father never contacted her husband again.

"Hmm..." The low voice seemed to be squeezed out from the throat with difficulty, with a slight tremor.

Chi Yunning was sitting on a soft sofa, and a picture involuntarily appeared in her mind:

Her father, who usually presented himself as a dignified person, was now clutching the phone tightly, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it, but he was still trying his best to maintain the inviolable demeanor of a family leader.

When she thought of this funny and slightly incongruous scene, the corners of Chi Yunning's mouth rose unconsciously, and the smile in her eyes spread, bright and lively.

Just as her thoughts were wandering in the ocean of joy and imagination, a slight sound of footsteps broke the silence in the room.

Min Yuting, the man who always touched her heartstrings inadvertently, walked out slowly from the mist of the bathroom, as if he was a character walking out of an exquisite ink painting.

He was wearing a pair of soft pajamas with the collar slightly open, inadvertently revealing a collarbone that was white with a faint pink blush.

The color of her skin looked even more alluring under the soft light, emitting an indescribable beauty of abstinence that attracted people's attention.

"Ningning, what's wrong? You're laughing so..."

Min Yuting stopped talking abruptly before he finished speaking.

Because when his eyes flickered, he happened to catch his wife's slightly cunning raised eyebrows and smiling eyes, which were fixed on him without any concealment.

At that moment, the air seemed to be filled with a subtle electric current, which made people's heartbeats accelerate involuntarily.

"My dad is looking for you." Chi Yunning's voice was clear and pleasant, with a bit of teasing and anticipation, waiting for the other party's reaction.

Just four words, yet they carry some mysterious power.

Like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

Min Yuting's body swayed slightly, and he almost couldn't keep his pace. A look of disbelief and surprise flashed across his face.

The old man, the patriarch who was so powerful in the business world and so majestic at home...

Since that incident, when has he ever taken the initiative to look for him?

Not giving him a bad face is already the greatest blessing.

This sudden "surprise" made Min Yuting feel mixed emotions, both uneasy and with a hint of indescribable expectation.

"Okay, okay." Before Min Yuting finished speaking, he strode forward and prepared to take the phone from Chi Yunning's hand.

However, Chi Yunning nimbly turned sideways, like a nimble deer in the woods, and cleverly avoided his outstretched hand.

A sly smile played at the corner of her mouth.

Those bright eyes flashed with mischief, and he pursed his lips at Min Yuting's face, which looked even more handsome due to his confusion: "Dad told you to call him alone. The meaning is self-evident - he just doesn't want me, a little ear, to eavesdrop."

Upon hearing this, Min Yuting's handsome brows slightly frowned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He was about to speak, but Chi Yunning beat him to the punch.

She put her hands on her hips, a hint of feigned anger on her lips. She deliberately raised her voice a few notches, adding a hint of coquettishness: "Hmph, after all, is there some secret you can't tell anyone, something that even I, your bedmate, can't hear? Didn't we agree that there are no secrets between husband and wife?"

"Dear Ms. Ningning. This is my father-in-law. Your father is looking for me."

Min Yuting's handsome face was filled with a gentle smile, and he seemed helpless about his wife's playfulness.

"So what?"

Chi Yunning gently pushed Min Yuting out of the bedroom door with both hands, with a hint of joking.

Her movements were relaxed, but Min Yuting deliberately staggered and almost lost his balance.

This caused Chi Yunning to laugh softly, and the laughter was crisp and pleasant, like the gurgling of a stream in spring, yet still a bit playful.

"As expected, a son-in-law is half a son. Dad is starting to be wary of me, his biological daughter."

Chi Yunning stood at the door, her hands gently resting on the door frame, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

But there was a hint of cunning in her eyes, as if she was enjoying this little "family war".

Min Yuting stood at the door, looking at his wife's playful figure, and the bedroom door was "cruelly" closed in front of him.

He held the phone tightly in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and a doting smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Thinking that his father-in-law might really have something important to discuss with him, his curiosity and worry were intertwined, but he could only suppress them temporarily.

He slowly suppressed the barely perceptible smile on his lips, turned around and walked quickly towards the study.

The door of the study closed heavily behind him, leaving only the silence in the room and the unknown waves that were about to unfold.

In the study, a beam of dim light shone on the quaint desk, illuminating his slightly nervous and focused face.

His fingers gently slid across the table, finally stopping on the black phone.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind and gently pressed a familiar number.
