Seeing the look in An Xiaxia’s eyes change, Li Fanxing smiled discreetly.
“Hey, what will it take for you to let the Li family off?” she asked arrogantly.
An Xiaxia was too distressed to realize the change in Li Fanxing’s attitude.
She mumbled to herself, “How could this happen... how...”
Sheng Yize walked out of the kitchen at that moment. “Try this soup...” Seeing An Xiaxia’s pale face, he hurried to her side. “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
“I’ll leave you in peace then. See you some other time,” Li Fanxing said in a cloying voice before strutting out.
Sheng Yize couldn’t care less about her at the moment. He picked An Xiaxia up and carried her to the bed, then called the family doctor.
The doctor soon arrived and examined her. “Madam is probably shocked. I’ll prescribe her something to calm her nerves and she should be fine after some sleep.”
“Alright. Thank you.”
After seeing the doctor off, Sheng Yize fed An Xiaxia the medicine, then tucked her in.
They had an open kitchen in the flat. Although he couldn’t make out exactly what An Xiaxia had said, he seemed to recall that she had picked up a phone call.
He went to the living room to get An Xiaxia’s phone, and he found an unfamiliar number in the call log.
He dialed back, but it wouldn’t go through.
Come to think of it, when An Xiaxia had refused his proposal, she had also picked up a phone call...
And that day at the airport...
Was it possible that these weren’t coincidences, but had been done to her on purpose?
He called his assistant. “Check An Xiaxia’s call log from seven years ago.”
The assistant found that task a pain in the neck. “That’s too vague... Mr. Sheng, do you have a more specific date?”
Sheng Yize hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “January to March, all of it. ASAP.”
“Yes.”
Those were the first few months after An Xiaxia had left him and the most painful days of his life.
He had also been addicted to smoking at that time...
Sheng Yize reached into his pocket out of habit, but his hand came out empty.
He cursed under his breath. Only then did he remember that he had quit smoking for An Xiaxia recently.

Yuan Hotel.
Su Xiaomo arrived in a hurry after finishing her drawing for the day, for He Jiayu was treating her to dinner.
Su Xiaomo’s face turned livid as soon as she walked in.
Could someone please tell her, why were her parents sitting next to He Jiayu?
Damn him!
Fighting back her temper, she went up to them and heard her mother talking to He Jiayu while holding his arm. “Why, I remember you! Didn’t you used to be a celebrity? I heard you went to medical school after that. That’s wonderful... What do you do now? Oh, the city hospital... That’s nice.”
He Jiayu said humbly, “I’m just an intern now. Thank you for your appreciation.”
“Heh.” Su Xiaomo sneered.
Her mother looked timid as soon as she spotted Su Xiaomo. She let go of He Jiayu’s arm and said gingerly, “Xiao Mo... It’s been a while.”
“It sure has.” Su Xiaomo smiled. “Why are you here?”
“We’re here to... dine with our son-in-law and talk about your wedding plans...” Her mother smiled awkwardly.
“Wedding plans?” Su Xiaomo was irritated. “Are you ever going to leave me alone? Can you stop trying to get involved in my life?”
“Momo...” He Jiayu frowned. He knew that Su Xiaomo wasn’t close to her family, but he had never expected them to be this estranged.
Su Xiaomo smacked the table and rose to her feet. She pointed at He Jiayu. “I told you, I’m not getting married! Say another word to them and I’m breaking up with you!”
