Shen Xinghao looked at their retreating figures and couldn’t help but reveal an admiring smile. Truly worthy of being the first of the three princes, Xing Tuo!
Wang Fengyi said: “Your mother seducing someone else’s husband is one thing, but I didn’t expect you to be even worse, not even sparing your own brother! Truly, the student surpasses the master!”
Wang Fengyi’s voice was like a thousand-year-old cold ice, each word striking Qianchi’s heart, chilling her to the bone. She didn’t know how she got out of the car. The biting cold wind cut her face like a knife, but she felt nothing. Xing Tuo and Wang Fengyi’s deep, beautiful phoenix eyes flashed rapidly before her. She didn’t know how she got home. Her mother seemed to have said many things, but she couldn’t hear a word. Then came dinner, and then she felt utterly exhausted.
Later, she seemed to have fallen asleep. It felt like an entire century had passed before she finally opened her eyes.
White walls, white bedsheets, white snow – everything was white, blindingly white.
And her mother’s pale face.
“Awake?
Xia Qianchi cleared her dry throat and looked at her mother’s haggard face, asking, “What happened? Where am I?”
She tried to sit up but felt completely weak.
Xia Xinwei helped her sit up: “This is the hospital. You had a high fever and have been unconscious for two days.”
“Fever?” She looked around the unfamiliar room, her head still feeling foggy.
“Yes.” Xia Xinwei poured a glass of hot water and brought it to her lips. She drank it all in one breath with her mother’s help.
“Slow down,” Xia Xinwei said. “The day before yesterday, you came home from school and started running a high fever, becoming delirious. When I tried to talk to you, you couldn’t hear a thing… I was so scared!”
“Oh, what did I say?” Hearing her mother’s words, Qianchi’s mind cleared a bit. She slowly recalled the previous events and remembered Wang Fengyi.
Had she said something she shouldn’t? Qianchi looked at her mother with some worry.
“Something about photos, misunderstandings, brother… and ‘impossible’ and such. I couldn’t hear clearly. Anyway, it was more or less like that, all jumbled up…”
