Mrs Yuan remained terribly worried. Yuan Xi composed herself and made no attempt to ruin Yuan Huan's image in her mother's heart and simply said in a soft voice, "Mom, Dad, I'm heading back to my room."
Mrs Yuan paused and looked at Yuan Xi. She noticed that Yuan Xi was completely unworried and could not help looking at Mr. Yuan.
Sure enough, Mr. Yuan looked furious.
Mrs Yuan promptly felt worried. She knew Yuan Xi had a problem with Yuan Huan and it was probably fine to show it any other day, but she should not have acted this way in front of her father.
Just when Mr. Yuan was about to throw a temper, Mrs Yuan hurriedly explained. "She has been sick for a long time. I'm sure she's very worried about her older brother."
Yuan Xi smiled sadly. She said nothing and slowly went upstairs.
