"Yaoyao, I'm really sorry. I had a lot of things to take care of today, so I promised you that I'd call you back in ten minutes. I was afraid that you might get anxious, so I called you before I was done. I even made you wait for so long …"
"It's alright, Sis Jiayi." Shi Yao gently replied to Lin Jiayi's words before getting to the main point, "Sis Jiayi, I'm calling you because I need your help with something …"
Before Shi Yao could say what it was, Lin Jiayi had already replied, "Sure, sure. Tell me, Yaoyao …"
"Isn't it Lin Jiage's birthday today?"
"Is it ATM's birthday today?" Lin Jiayi asked doubtfully. After which, she seemed to have flipped through her calendar for a moment before replying, "Oh, it really is ATM's birthday today …"
Lin Jiayi's words left Shi Yao at a loss as to how she should respond: "…"
Lin Jiayi: "What's wrong? Yaoyao, do you want to celebrate ATM's birthday with him? "
"N-no …" Shi Yao hurriedly replied to Lin Jiayi's words. "It's like this. I promised him that I would give him a present on his birthday. That is … Is it convenient for you? If it's convenient, I'll send the present over to you later, and you can help me pass it to him … "
"Ah? Why go through so much trouble? You can just give it to him … "Lin Jiayi's words trailed off.
But even if she didn't say it out loud, Shi Yao knew what she was trying to say. Couldn't you just give it to him directly?
Shi Yao didn't say a word.
Lin Jiayi was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. Then, seemingly coming to a realization, she asked, "Yaoyao, are you and Jiage ignoring each other now?"
Shi Yao was silent for a moment before replying with a soft "Un".
However, Shi Yao didn't want to linger on this topic for too long, so she quickly added, "Sis Jiayi, about what I said earlier …"
"Yaoyao, you should know that I've always taken your affairs very seriously, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to help you this time around …" Lin Jiayi seemed to have encountered something extremely difficult, and she suddenly paused halfway through her words. It took a long while before she finally spoke up once more, but this time around, she asked Yao Yao, "… Yaoyao, do you know nothing about Jiage's recent situation?"
An ominous premonition suddenly crept into Shi Yao's heart. H-what's wrong with him recently? Did something happen? "
"It's not that something happened, it's just … hah, forget it, I will tell you … anyway I am not a person who can hide things, but Yao Yao, you just pretend you didn't hear it, because grandpa said, this is our family's dirty linen, family's dirty linen must not be spread …"
Lin Jiayi reminded Shi Yao over and over again not to tell anyone about it before she continued, "Roughly twenty days ago, Jiage returned home and told grandpa that he had something to discuss with him. After that, it was about the annulment of your engagement. Grandpa flew into a rage and firmly disagreed with it. He even punished him to kneel in his study for an entire afternoon so that he could reflect on his actions …
"After that, my aunt felt sorry for him, so she went to ask him what was going on and why he would suddenly annul his engagement with you. He refused to say a word, but I'm sure you know about it. Grandpa, my aunt, and my father all called you to ask what was going on …"
