The next day, Chi Yue waited until the afternoon but still hadn't seen Nan Yuan.
When Chi Yue called him, she found out that his mother had suddenly fallen ill and had been rushed to the hospital, which was why he was delayed.
Chi Yue wanted to go there, but Nan Yuan asked her to stay behind to look after the company and mentioned that it might take a while before he could return.
Chi Yue could only give up on the idea.
In the evening, someone rang the doorbell, which Chi Yue didn't answer.
After a while, her phone rang; it was a video call from Fu Mianmian.
Chi Yue struggled internally for a long time and finally answered the call just as the ringing stopped.
On the screen, a chubby little face scrunched up like a bun instantly smoothed out upon seeing her.
"Pretty sister, did you fall asleep?"
Chi Yue, "...No."
"Then, could you open the door for me? I want to come in and grab something."
