Ning Guiwan finished speaking, and her phone screen lit up, accompanied by a simple, melodious ringtone.
Ren Xiaofei's gaze unconsciously shifted to it. The screen displayed Li Annan's name, and her eyes immediately widened.
"Go ahead with your work," Ning Guiwan said calmly, already reaching for her phone.
Ren Xiaofei opened her mouth, seemingly about to speak. However, upon meeting Ning Guiwan's gaze, she ultimately said nothing and left with the folder in her arms.
Only after watching the door close did Ning Guiwan answer the call.
"Mr. Li," she greeted, her tone polite.
"..." There was a pause on the other end, followed by Li Annan's gentle voice. "I've thought carefully about what you said last night."
Li Annan paused briefly. Ning Guiwan hummed in acknowledgment, waiting for him to continue.
"I'm not prepared to give up like this."
