Huo Tian probed Si Huan to verify her guess. "Didn't you always call my father Uncle Xi? Why did you suddenly change to Mr. Xi? Aren't you being a little too distant with him?"
Si Huan, who was on the other end of the line, took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He tried his best to maintain his composure, but if one were to pay careful attention, they would still be able to hear him gritting his teeth a little as he spoke.
Si Huan said, "I called your father Uncle Xi previously to show respect and closeness, but now, I don't think I can be as close to him as I was in the past. I can only barely maintain a little respect. If he really is like those cold-blooded and heartless family heads of other families who have authoritatively arranged a marriage agreement for you, then the last bit of respect I have for him will be gone!"
