Something had really happened on her side, and An Yuan didn’t want to lie to Little Jiu. However, how could she allow the little girl to be involved in her matters and get worried?
Besides, if she could not even solve her own problem, the little girl or Su Shengjing would find it even more difficult. Most importantly, she could not even bring herself to talk about this matter. How was she supposed to talk about it?
An Yuan tightly gripped her phone and closed her eyes. She pretended to smile as if nothing had happened. “Little Jiu, there’s nothing wrong. I’m just not feeling well. I’ll be fine after resting and taking some medicine. You don’t have to worry.”
However, Su Jiu still did not believe her.
It was said that the great beauty was quite professional. Even when An Yuan was sick, she would insist on working and would not delay her work. However, An Yuan had just said that she had a cold. Therefore, the matter was definitely not that simple.
Su Shengjing finished preparing breakfast and brought it to the table. He was about to call Su Jiu to eat when he saw the little girl sitting on the sofa and looking at the cell phone. Her brows were furrowed as though she was worried.
Su Shengjing walked over to her. “Baby, are you playing with the cell phone again? You’re too young. You can’t play with electronics all the time. This isn’t good for your eyes. You don’t want to wear glasses at such a young age either, right? That won’t be cute. Give the cell phone to Daddy. You’re not allowed to play anymore.”
Although he seemed to be reprimanding her, his tone was extremely gentle.
Su Jiu came back to her senses and obediently passed the cell phone back to her father. She could not help but say to him, “Daddy, I’m not playing with the cell phone. I just called Pretty Sister. She said that she has a cold and can’t shoot commercials with you. I’m a little worried about her.”
Su Shengjing also knew that An Yuan had not taken on any advertisements recently. He also felt that it was a little strange and out of character for her.
Initially, he had wanted to make a call to her and ask about it. However, he knew that it was her own decision, and he had no right to interfere in it. Unexpectedly, the little girl had called her instead.
Su Shengjing took the phone and pinched Su Jiu’s cheeks. “Since she’s sick, let her have a good rest. We’ll talk about it when she recovers. Oh right, did she tell you what illness it is?”
“Big Sister said she caught a cold!”
A cold…
Su Shengjing was even more surprised. He remembered that when he was in school, even if An Yuan had a high fever, she insisted on going to class. She would go home to rest only after the teacher persuaded her.
Therefore, it was not like her for her to give up on a big advertisement because of a cold.
Just as Su Shenging pondered the matter, he heard Su Jiu say, “Daddy, I’m still worried about Big Sister…”
Su Shengjing was silent for a moment. He had a bad feeling about this. “Then, Daddy will give her a call and see if we can get to the bottom of this?”
“Alright, Daddy, hurry up and call her!” The little girl immediately nodded, her face filled with eagerness.
Su Shengjing made the call and waited for the person on the other end to pick up with a serious expression.
At this moment, An Yuan had locked herself in the room of her apartment, her entire body curled up in a chair. The curtains in her room were drawn, and the lights were not switched on yet, so the lighting was a little dim. A computer lay on the desk in front of her, and the light from the screen shone on her pale face.
She sat motionless in her chair, staring blankly at the photo on the screen.
The previous morning, she had received this photo when she had suggested terminating the contract with Xue Zhen.
When she had seen the photo, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck her from the sky. Her mind had gone blank and she could not believe what she had just seen.
