Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022 She Was So Proactive Today. It Was A Surprise! A Shock! (II)
To be honest, after being together with her for so many years, this was the first time she took the initiative to call him to ask if he was busy.
He felt that this was something worth being happy about. However, he saw that not far away, she was currently lowering her head slightly. It was obvious that she was a little absent-minded.
She called him but was absent-minded?!
Situ Murong’s “Eh” was a little slow. It was a question that could not be heard clearly. At this moment, Liu Ying heard his affirmative tone and thought that he was really busy.
Liu Ying obviously let out a sigh of relief. “Then you’re busy.”
When she said this, her voice also became slightly more relaxed.
Situ Murong was not far away from her and was looking at her, so he could clearly see her reaction.
When she said that she wanted him to be busy, she was obviously relieved.
“What’s wrong?” Situ Murong’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he could not help but ask.
“Nothing, I just wanted to ask when you’d be back tonight.” Liu Ying had wanted to hang up the phone, but he suddenly asked, which made her more nervous.
“Why? Do you miss me?” Situ Murong slightly smiled when he heard her words. This woman was suddenly enlightened? She actually knew to ask when he was going back?
“Ah? Ah…” Liu Ying was a little surprised and did not come back to her senses for a while.
“Do you want me to come back to accompany you?” Situ Murong looked at her, and the smile on his lips became more obvious.
Situ Murong did not say that he was back.
“Ah? No, no, I know you’re busy with work.” Liu Ying suddenly panicked when she heard him say that.
Situ Murong’s smile disappeared, and the hand holding the phone tightened slightly. He could see that she did not want him to come back, and him being busy with work was just an excuse that she found.
His car was parked not far away from her. She could see it if she turned her head, but she had never noticed it.
Therefore, at this moment, not only was she absent-minded, but she was also a little nervous and anxious.
Where was she going in such a hurry?
Moreover, when he said that he was coming back to accompany her, she was clearly a little flustered?
Flustered about what?
“What are you doing at home alone?” Situ Murong did not want to be suspicious, and neither did he want to be doubt her. However, her current appearance made it impossible for him not to be suspicious.
“Ah? I’m watching TV.” Liu Ying was feeling guilty at the moment, so when she heard his question, she reacted quickly.
At this moment, she blurted out these words without thinking. She was not good at lying, so she stuttered.
“Why don’t I hear the sound of the TV?” Situ Murong tightened his grip on the phone a few times, and his narrowed eyes were obviously colder.
At this moment, she was clearly downstairs, but she told him she was watching TV at home?!
Why did she lie?
“Ah? I muted the TV when I called you.” Liu Ying did not expect him to ask such a question, and her heart felt even more guilty. However, if you told a lie, then you had to use other lies to cover it up.
This was a necessary reaction!!!
This was Liu Ying’s instinctive reaction. Her desire to live made her react like this.
She was afraid of Situ Murong. She had always been afraid. Although she had been with him for almost five years, she was still afraid of him.
Fortunately, the five-year deadline was about to end. In the future, she would be free, and she would not have to be afraid of him anymore.
