Jin Yan was reading a script in the living room of his villa when he received Xia Ning's phone call. He felt a hand had gripped his heart when he heard her cry. "Ke, what's wrong?"
"I don't know. I just feel awful."
"Where are you? I'll go find you!" Jin Yan rose to his feet, spilling the script all over the floor.
Leaning back all the way, Xia Ning felt the cold sensation on her back. She took a deep breath. "No, you don't have to. Hearing your voice makes me better already."
"Just tell me what happened?"
Xia Ning looked up at the sky. "Nothing, really. Something that happened today reminded me of what happened before. That's all."
"Is it about Qiao Yu? Ke, leave that family. They'll only upset you more. You're forcing yourself."
"Can we not talk about that?" Xia Ning closed her eyes.
"I just don't want to see you upset, Ke. I don't want you to feel wronged. Ever."
Xia Ning smiled. "I know. I won't."
