    Lin Jiage: “Mr. Xia, what are you talking about? Why would I be angry?”


    Xia Shangzhou: “Daddy, I beg of you to let me off! I’ll confess, alright? I’ll confess to everything! This afternoon, I couldn’t find any socks to wear, so I took a new one from your cupboard! I’ll buy you a new pair after this, no, I mean ten pairs! Also, I identally used the wrong hand towel after washing my hands yesterday. I know that you value your cleanliness, so I’ll get you a new one too… There should be nothing else other than that…”


    Lin Jiage: “Mr. Xia…”


    Xia Shangzhou: “Alright, alright! Let me think… There’s still… still… There was one time I didn’t have any tissues, so I took a packet from your cupboard… But it was really just once, I promise! I really didn’t—”


    Before Xia Shangzhou could finish his words, Lin Jiage had already pressed down on the power button of his phone and forcefully shut it off. Then, acting as if his phone had run out of battery, he desperately pressed on the ‘Home’ button before eventually turning to Shi Yao, “I have some urgent matters to handle at the moment, but my phone just ran out of battery. Can I borrow your phone for a moment?”


    Without the slightest doubt for Lin Jiage’s words, Shi Yao unhesitatingly passed her phone to him.


    Lin Jiage didn’t take the phone straight away, and he nced at the pitch-ck screen instead.


    Shi Yao was stunned for a moment before she understood what his look meant. She quickly unlocked the screen with her fingerprint, and Lin Jiage finally took the phone with a “Thanks”.


    He called Xia Shangzhou once more and continued, “Mr. Xia, my apologies. My phone ran out of battery earlier. Please continue sharing what you were saying just now…”


    “B-B-B-B-B-Bosss?” Xia Shangzhou stuttered for quite a while before he cried tearfully, “I already confessed to everything just now, for real! Boss, if I’m still holding something back from you right now, I’ll be your son…”


    “Boss, at least I’m willing to admit my mistakes, but that grandson of mine, Lu Bei, he’s done far worse than that! Boss, just two days ago, he stepped over your bed with his dirty feet just because it was faster for him to grab a Mai Dong… Also, I’ve been obediently following your rule of drinking at least three bottles of Mai Dong a day, but Lu Bei didn’t. He secretly poured them into the toilet bowl and flushed them down… Also also, Lu Bei’s also been bragging to other people about yourptop! He secretly took a selfie with it and imed that it’s aptop that he just bought…”


    Amidst Xia Shangzhou’s endless confessions, Shi Yao’s phone beeped in warning, signaling that the battery was on the verge of running out.


    Lin Jiage took a look at the screen—there was only 1% of the battery left.

    He didn’t rush to return the phone back to Shi Yao, continuing to ce it by his ear and replying courteously, “Mr. Xia, I have taken down what you told me, and I’ll earnestly think over your opinions and give you a response then…”


    “Boss, you really don’t have to take down what I said or give me a response, I’ll do whatever you want me to do, so please…”


    As Xia Shangzhou desperately wailed, Lin Jiage unhesitatingly hung up the phone before passing it back to Shi Yao with a polite “Thanks”.


    As Shi Yao reached out to take her phone from his hand, he nced down at Shi Yao’s phone screen, and as he’d nned, the phone automatically shut down because the power had run out. Thus, with an apologetic tone, Lin Jiage said, “I’m terribly sorry, I identally used up your phone’s battery.”
