Having gotten a scare, Shen Xi glanced at the man opposite her and let out an embarrassed smile before picking up the call. It was an unidentified caller. However, her only thought was to hang up when she heard the voice on the other end of the line.
Fu Qingxuan.
What was with him? Had he not gotten enough sh*t from Fu Qingli already? Why was he still calling her?
"Meanie, don't hang up." Fu Qingxuan's hoarse voice was without its usual commanding presence when he suddenly yelled.
Her thumb that was reaching for the end call froze. Afraid to bother Jin Yu, Shen Xi got up and headed to the courtyard before threatening, "I'll tell your eldest brother."
"My mom's sick," Fu Qingxuan said.
This was the first time Shen Xi detected profound helplessness and despair in Fu Qingxuan's voice. He must have cried judging by his coarse and nasal-laden voice. With her heart sinking to her stomach, she asked, "Aren't you a doctor?"
