Jiang Ni felt unwell and couldn't help but cough after only a few words.
A tickling sensation came from her throat; in a fluster, she pressed the mute button before she dared to let her cough out.
The sudden silence on her side catched Qin Jijing's attention, prompting him to inquire.
After coughing a few times and taking a sip of water to clear her throat, Jiang Ni turned off the mute, "Didn't you hear me just now? Ah, the signal must be bad."
She acted very convincingly, and Qin Jijing didn't notice anything amiss.
Perhaps she had coughed too forcefully just now; her stomach started to cramp again.
She steadied her voice, "I'm going to see Grandpa, so I won't talk with you for now. I'll message you later."
"It's gotten colder over there, remember to wear a thick coat when you go out."
"Okay," Jiang Ni readily agreed.
After hanging up the call, Jiang Ni threw her phone to the side and lay on the pillow, gasping heavily.
