Di Mingjue, unwilling to give up, dialed the number again.
This time, Nangong Jin finally picked up. His voice was clearly hoarse, with a hint of labored breathing, and he asked, "What’s up?"
Although he had answered the phone, his hands didn’t stop their affectionate ministrations towards Di Jinxuan. The light sheen of sweat on his refined features was exceedingly captivating.
"You sound kind of... weak," Di Mingjue couldn’t help but tease in response to his voice.
Nangong Jin: "..."
"Get to the point." His response was concise.
Di Mingjue didn’t drag it out. "Come get barbecue with Jinxuan. At my eldest brother’s place. We’re just waiting on you two."
"Not coming, got something going on," Nangong Jin replied. "Jinxuan and I probably won’t be free until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest."
Di Mingjue: "..."
"What are you two doing?" Di Mingjue couldn’t help but ask. What kind of thing takes until tomorrow afternoon?
Nangong Jin didn’t want to tell Di Mingjue the truth, so he simply said, "Who doesn’t have stuff to do? Alright, hanging up now."
And with that, he hung up the call.
For the first time, Di Mingjue felt a little awkward holding his phone!
Nangong Jin had actually hung up on him. This was a first!
"What did he say?" Di Mingchen couldn’t help but ask when he saw Di Mingjue’s dumbfounded look.
"Not coming. Said they had something going on and won’t be free until tomorrow afternoon," Di Mingjue replied.
"Probably figured out you’re up to no good and didn’t want to come," Di Mingchen chuckled.
Di Mingjue shrugged. Fine, based on the way the two of them sounded, it really seemed like they were... ahem... doing that.
Oh well, better not keep bothering them. Showing mercy this once wouldn’t hurt.
After all, the other person *was* his sister.
