Chapter 648: 648
Qiao Lian took some time to calm down after leaving the news agency, before she hailed a cab home .
Feeling distracted as she entered the house, Qiao Lian was walking towards the bedroom when she saw Xia Nuannuan out on the balcony calling with her cell phone .
Her voice tone was soft and gentle, “That’s right, Aunt Xia is okay . ”
It was Shen Zihao on the other end of the line . When he heard the news, he nodded and said, “Yes, please look after my mom for this period . ”
Xia Nuannuan wasn’t used to Shen Zihao being this polite . Unsure of how to react, she finally said, “Is there anything else, Mr . Shen?”
He paused, hoping that she would keep the conversation going, but eventually said, “That’s all . ”
“I’ll hang up then . ”
Without hesitating, she disconnected the line .
While her actions seemed swift and decisive, she continued standing on the balcony, holding her cell phone and staring into the distance quietly .
Xia Nuannuan had been behaving oddly recently .
Every day, she would secretly call Shen Zihao, but the manner in which she spoke to him was distant and very unlike her usual gentle self .
Weren’t the two getting along very well?
Puzzled, Qiao Lian shook her head as she walked past Xia Nuannuan .
As she did so, she suddenly heard someone throwing up .
Immediately, she turned around and hurried to the balcony . Xia Nuannuan was holding onto the side of the balcony door, retching .
Taking a step towards her, Qiao Lian asked anxiously, “Are you okay?”
Xia Nuannuan looked terribly pale, but she waved her hand and said, “It’s nothing . Not quite sure what it is, perhaps I’m staying up too late lately?”
She had been waking up every night to massage Xia Yehua, to help speed up her recovery .
Hence when Qiao Lian heard this, she instantly felt bad . “This period has been tough for you . ”
Shaking her head, Xia Nuannuan replied, “I’m okay . ”
After resting shortly, she felt better and walked back into the house with Qiao Lian .
Seeing that the girl was quite frail, Qiao Lian was compelled to give Auntie Li some instructions, who was now just about to enter the kitchen . “Auntie Li, would you please boil some chicken soup for Nuannuan? She’s been exhausted recently . ”
The Shen family never treated their housekeepers like servants . The treatment that Xia Nuannuan got was therefore not unlike Song Yuanxi’s .
Hence with these instructions, Auntie Li immediately nodded .
Xia Nuannuan opened her mouth to say something at this point, but no words came .
Following this, Qiao Lian headed upstairs to get changed and visited Xia Yehua for a short chat . Then, returning to the study, she picked up her laptop with the intention of continuing the job hunt .
She browsed the internet for a long time and sent out a few applications . Up till now, her search had not been fruitful .
Soon, it was dinner time .
Qiao Lian could smell the aroma of chicken soup in the air as she made her way down the stairs .
She took a deep breath as she burst into the kitchen, exclaiming, “Auntie Li, the chicken soup smells heavenly!”
Laughing, Aunty Li poured a bowl of the steaming hot liquid and said, “Well then, Madam, why don’t you have some first?”
“Ooooh, yes . ”
She took the bowl from Auntie Li and walked out of the kitchen .
As she walked out of the kitchen, she noticed Xia Nuannuan was also coming downstairs now .
She still looked rather pale .
Immediately, Qiao Lian brought her the bowl of soup and said, “Nuannuan, here, have some soup first . ”
The moment Xia Nuannuan smelled the soup, she got even more pale and shook her head vigorously before dashing to the restroom .
Qiao Lian was stunned by her reaction . Putting down the bowl, she rushed into the restroom after Xia Nuannuan . Patting the girl on the back, she inquired, “What’s wrong with you, Nuannuan?”
