"It's not like that..." Xia Ning's face clearly showed resistance, but when she saw He Xing's complexion turn sour, she instinctively shrank back and nodded carefully, "I understand, Brother He Xing, but can you wait until Dad arrives before you leave?"
The request wasn't excessive, and since the caregiver had gone out to buy breakfast, if He Xing left, Xia Ning would be alone, which was genuinely concerning considering her current state.
He Xing walked to the window to call Xia Guoxiong, but unexpectedly, Xia Guoxiong's phone was unreachable; He Xing had a stomach full of questions, wondering if Xia Guoxiong had blocked him. But that made no sense, Xia Guoxiong had no reason to block him.
Xia Ning sat on the bed, her knees hugged to her chest, watching He Xing. Seeing that he couldn't get through, she asked softly, "Brother He Xing, can't you get in touch with Dad?"
