Huo Yishan hesitated; with Li Yuan's father present, it was naturally inappropriate for her to accompany her.
But...
"Aunt, since Uncle is going with you, what about your illness..."
"Don't worry, I've already spoken with the Doctor, and they won't tell them."
"Oh, then please take care."
Xia Ximeng smiled gently and nodded.
After breakfast, Xia Ximeng indeed left.
However, the maid she mentioned earlier never arrived by noon, leaving Huo Yishan waiting.
Seeing the clock's hour and minute hands both pointing to twelve, Huo Yishan put down her laptop and stood up to call Li Yuan.
"Hello?" Upon picking up, a deep, gentle voice from the other end of the line was exceptionally pleasant, like a melodious tune.
"Are you busy?"
"A bit, what's up?" Li Yuan was somewhat surprised to receive her call at that time.
Hearing him say 'a bit', Huo Yishan dismissed the idea of asking him out for lunch.
"I see."
"What's wrong?" Sensing her concern, he couldn't help but ask.
