These few sentences struck Xia Xing's head, leaving him momentarily unable to react.
Upstairs, Huo Juanyan's voice calling him could be heard again; all he could do was confusedly go upstairs to prepare a medicinal bath for President Huo first.
After everything was ready, he suddenly heard Huo Juanyan ask him,
"Xia Xing, did Chen Li send Nan Yu back?"
Recovering his senses, Xia Xing responded, "No, the Young Madam refused."
Huo Juanyan instantly sensed something was wrong, his eyes darkening.
"Why did she refuse?"
Xia Xing, who had been with Huo Juanyan for many years, knew from just that sentence that Huo Juanyan was angry.
His voice trembling, he said, "President Huo, the Young Madam said that Housekeeper Qi came to pick her up, so she didn't need Secretary Chen to send her."
Hearing this, the oppressive aura around Huo Juanyan slowly dissipated.
"Hmm."
