Bei Sangyun weakly muttered Lin Sunji's name, her voice barely audible, hoping the brother and sister would take her instead of Fei Chuan. However, Lin Sunji pretended not to hear her.
Fei Chuan's piercing gaze bore into Lin Sunji like a hawk. She didn't dare make a move. The man had made it clear earlier—Bei Sangyun was staying with him.
"...Sorry," Lin Sunji whispered under her breath as she left the room.
Bei Sangyun stared at the door in disbelief, abandoned with Fei Chuan. Yet, she didn't give up. Struggling to form words, she muttered, "…P-phone… c-call…"
Fei Chuan approached the bed and sat down beside her, his presence suffocatingly close. Bei Sangyun instinctively leaned against the bed frame to create some distance.
