"Okay," Jiang Yao replied without any hesitation.
If the groom was Lu Xingzhi's big brother, then he was also her big brother. It was normal for her to address someone the same way Lu Xingzhi did, just like how Zhou Weiqi had addressed her by her name despite his irritation.
Nonetheless, Jiang Yao was a little helpless and dejected. There was still a long way to go between her and Lu Xingzhi to trust each other wholeheartedly. She hoped that the day would come when they didn't have to tread carefully on thin ice over such trivial matters.
They chatted for a while, although she didn't tell him about the incident in the restaurant. For her, it was a small matter, while Lu Xingzhi had learned about it from Zhou Weiqi, so he didn't pursue it further.
After a while, Jiang Yao's roommates were back. She ended the call and greeted her roommates.
Holding popsicles in their hands, the girls froze when they saw Jiang Yao in the dorm. They looked down at the popsicles, feeling stunned and awkward.
"Sorry, we didn't know that you were back, so we didn't get you one," Chen Siyang explained frantically.
Jiang Yao smiled instead. She was not a three-year-old anyway, she wouldn't hold grudges over such petty things.
Zhou Xiaoxia possessed a boyish personality. She was kind-hearted but a little clumsy and casual. When she entered the room and saw the phone in Jiang Yao's hand, she was startled as she recalled the man who had sent Jiang Yao the phone earlier. A mobile phone was still an exclusive item at the time that even her parents were reluctant to buy one. Thus, she asked curiously, "Jiang Yao, who is the man who gave you the phone today?"
Jiang Yao thought about how to describe her relationship with Zhou Weiqi, so she decided to tell them in a straightforward manner, "He is my husband's good friend. He sent the phone to me on behalf of my husband."
