A popular female live streamer with a constant stream of wealthy patrons.

No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps could be heard outside the ward.

As soon as the door opened, Fu Yanshi saw Xia Wanyu holding her mother's hand with her eyes closed, tears streaming down her face.

Hearing the voice, Xia Wanyu looked up at him, her eyes red-rimmed. "At the banquet, the doctor said Auntie's condition is extremely dangerous! Don't go to the company today. I think if she wakes up, the first thing she'll want to see is you."

Fu Yanshi stood far away from her and showed no intention of comforting her; he simply frowned slightly.

"This is none of your business. You can leave now."

"...Alright then, just give me a call if you need anything."

The conversation suddenly turned to cell phones, and Xia Wanyu's heart skipped a beat. Fu's mother, who was pretending to faint, secretly poked her palm.

"Have you seen my phone?"

Fu Yanshi looked down to find his phone, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the ward. Xia Wanyu and Fu's mother froze, their breaths even stopping.

We absolutely cannot let him know what happened to Xu Qinghuan at this time!

Fortunately, Xia Wanyu was quick-witted and simply slipped his phone into her bag.

"No, didn't you take it with you when you went to see the doctor?"

Fu Yanshi frowned, as if he was reminiscing.

Xia Wanyu quickly said, "Then I'll be going now. Contact me if you need anything!"

After saying that, she grabbed her bag and left the hospital immediately, not daring to waste a second. Only after getting into her car did she take out Fu Yanshi's phone to turn it off.

The screen lit up, displaying a message from Xu Qinghuan.

Where are you, Fu Yanshi?

【Fu Yanshi, my mother has passed away. Please, please answer the phone…】

Upon seeing these two messages, Xia Wanyu couldn't help but smile, a smile that was both smug and sinister.

"Whether you argue with me or with my mother, the outcome is the same! You can only blame your bad luck."

She turned off her phone with a cold laugh, then pulled out the SIM card and threw it out the car window. When she passed the riverbank, she stopped the car and threw Fu Yanshi's phone out as well.

Even if Fu Yanshi wanted to get a replacement phone or SIM card, it would still take him at least a day!

One day was enough for Xu Qinghuan to give up on him.

Xia Wanyu might not know anything else, but she knew Xu Qinghuan's stubborn and inflexible nature all too well! With such a serious incident occurring, Fu Yanshi's inability to be by her side in time would definitely greatly diminish Xu Qinghuan's feelings for him and help her to face the truth.

They were never meant to be from the same world.

……

When Xu Qinghuan made her twentieth call to Fu Yanshi, the busy signal was replaced by "The number you dialed is currently switched off."

In the chilly, disinfectant-smelling hospital corridor, she felt like a walking corpse, mechanically dialing Fu Yanshi's number and listening to the automated message on the other end...

Hang up, then dial again. Hang up, then dial again.

After an unknown amount of time, someone suddenly rushed forward and hugged Xu Qinghuan tightly!

She raised her head blankly, a flame seemingly burning in her eyes, thinking it would be the person she was thinking of, but instead, she saw Nie Zhisen's face.

The faint light in his eyes also went out.

"I know, I know everything... Huanhuan, be strong, I'll be with you!"

Nie Zhisen comforted her gently, with fresh fruit he had bought at his feet. He had promised Ms. Zheng Qiuzhi last week that he would come over to accompany her for rehabilitation if he had time at school on the weekend.

But to his surprise, as soon as he arrived at the ward, he heard the news that Xu's mother had passed away!

His first reaction was to search for Xu Qinghuan everywhere, fearing that she might do something foolish.
