Chapter 648 - Slap Yourself! She Is Forget Chuan! (3) (1/2)
Qiao Lian took some time to calm down after leaving the news agency, before she hailed a cab home.
Feeling distracted as she entered the house, Qiao Lian was walking towards the bedroom when she saw Xia Nuannuan out on the balcony calling with her cell phone.
Her voice tone was soft and gentle, “That’s right, Aunt Xia is okay.”
It was Shen Zihao on the other end of the line. When he heard the news, he nodded and said, “Yes, please look after my mom for this period.”
Xia Nuannuan wasn’t used to Shen Zihao being this polite. Unsure of how to react, she finally said, “Is there anything else, Mr. Shen?”
He paused, hoping that she would keep the conversation going, but eventually said, “That’s all.”
“I’ll hang up then.”
Without hesitating, she disconnected the line.
While her actions seemed swift and decisive, she continued standing on the balcony, holding her cell phone and staring into the distance quietly.
Xia Nuannuan had been behaving oddly recently.
Every day, she would secretly call Shen Zihao, but the manner in which she spoke to him was distant and very unlike her usual gentle self.
Weren’t the two getting along very well?
Puzzled, Qiao Lian shook her head as she walked past Xia Nuannuan.
As she did so, she suddenly heard someone throwing up.
Immediately, she turned around and hurried to the balcony. Xia Nuannuan was holding onto the side of the balcony door, retching.
Taking a step towards her, Qiao Lian asked anxiously, “Are you okay?”
Xia Nuannuan looked terribly pale, but she waved her hand and said, “It’s nothing. Not quite sure what it is, perhaps I’m staying up too late lately?”
She had been waking up every night to massage Xia Yehua, to help speed up her recovery.
Hence when Qiao Lian heard this, she instantly felt bad. “This period has been tough for you.”
