At once, the atmosphere turned icy.
Li Beinian glanced outside when she heard this.
Li Haoran was already at the doorway. He did not enter but stood at the door looking in.
At this point, he met Li Beinian's gaze. He smiled and looked at her with concern in his eyes.
Li Beinian looked away and said, "I'm feeling unwell. Ask him to go home. Tell him that I won't be dying any time soon."
She said this fairly loudly, intending to be heard.
Li Haoran's expression stiffened. "Nian Nian, how exactly are you feeling?"
Li Beinian ignored him and leaned back against the headboard. She picked up her phone and dialed Mu Xichen's number.
She was greeted by a mechanical female voice announcing that the phone had been switched off.
Li Beinian couldn't help feeling annoyed. She frowned and said, "Su Su, you should go home. Hailang, help me shut the door."
"Oh, okay."
