The last few words she spoke with genuine emotion,
eliciting a touch of sympathy from the listener.
Fu Siye raised his hand and pressed his temples again, then calmly said, "Don't worry about me, I'm perfectly fine."
"En en... that's good, that's good..." Nan Shiqing said, still a bit shaken.
However, Nan Shiqing's heart was filled with endless frustration. She had poured out her emotions and expressed so much concern, so why was he still so cold to her?
In the past, Fu Siye would at least show some reaction.
But now, it seemed like he was running out of patience.
Why, why had things turned out this way?
Mu Yinyin only had two more identities, she was still the same person as before, and even now she was so disrespectful to Siye, yet why was Siye's heart still stolen by that bitch?
Nan Shiqing took a shallow breath, afraid to get distracted, and even more afraid of Fu Siye looking down on her. She pursed her lips and said, "Siye, my family's new product might be launching tomorrow. Although you have to fulfill your obligations according to the contract with my sister during this period, I will never forget your private help to Mu's for the rest of my life."
Towards the end, her voice was full of gratitude.
But…
She thought this time she had spoken with such passion that it would move Fu Siye, but she never expected him to calmly reply with three words, "It's my duty."
Nan Shiqing: "..."
How could Fu Siye become like this!
Did Mu Yinyin really have such great charm!
Or was it, as her mother had said, that while she was in a coma, Fu Siye felt immense guilt towards her, but… now that she was awake and seemed fine, he had stopped feeling guilty, right?
Were all men so fickle?
She had previously thought that Fu Siye was cold to her only because he didn't like Mu Yinyin, but now it seemed… perhaps things were not as she had imagined.
What she thought was Fu Siye's affection for her was just her own wishful thinking.
"Is there anything else?"
As Nan Shiqing was contemplating what to do, the man's voice suddenly came from the receiver.
Nan Shiqing's expression changed, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
But she absolutely did not want to hang up the phone!
She thought for a moment and asked with concern again, "There's nothing else, I just… miss you a little. Siye, are you at the company or have you gone home?"
"At the old residence." Fu Siye's brows were already furrowed, showing a hint of impatience.
Nan Shiqing didn't notice, and instead felt a little confused by his words, "Why are you back at the old residence? Did Grandma call you for something?"
He had just said he had finished showering, which meant he was staying at the old residence tonight?
Why would he go to the old residence for no reason?
There was an old immortal at the old residence who wanted him to reconcile with Mu Yinyin every day. She was truly afraid that Fu Siye would be persuaded, especially since he already had this intention.
Nothing could withstand constant persuasion!
"It's nothing. Since you have nothing else, I still have some work to hand over to my assistant. I'll hang up now."
"Ah?" Nan Shiqing subconsciously uttered this sound, but even though she didn't want to hang up, she quickly agreed, "Oh, oh, then if you have something to do, go ahead. Siye, please don't overwork yourself, don't be like last time, or I'll be heartbroken."
"Mm." After Fu Siye finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone, without any lingering affection.
Nan Shiqing's face grew even more displeased!
She felt that her mother's efforts to help her improve the situation seemed to have vanished again!
After he fainted that time, after Mu Yinyin appeared, everything went back to square one!
Nan Shiqing's expression was extremely grim, and she immediately walked towards her mother's bedroom.
She knocked on the door, "Mom, are you in there."
Nan Shiqing's tone was not very good. Her mother, who was wearing a face mask while sitting in front of the vanity mirror, frowned slightly, turned to look at the door, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Soon, Nan Shiqing entered. She closed the door and said with a frown, "Mom, Fu Siye's attitude towards me has reverted to how it was before!"
He Xia immediately frowned and looked at Nan Shiqing, "Have you been bothering him again recently?"
"I haven't!" Nan Shiqing's eyes were full of grievance, "I haven't called him these past few days as you told me. I only called him today to check on his health, but he was impatient with me and didn't want to talk to me at all. He's very strange! It seems like everything you did before was in vain!"
He Xia frowned and looked at her suspiciously, "You're not lying to me?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Nan Shiqing's face was a little pale, and the anger in her eyes grew, "After he fainted last time, Mu Yinyin came to treat him, and then things changed! His attitude towards me changed completely. He hasn't contacted me proactively these past few days. He clearly said he would have dinner with me, but because he fainted, that promise seems to have disappeared. He didn't even mention making up for it. I cared about him so much just now, speaking with such genuine emotion, but he ended up telling me he had work to do with his assistant."
"Perhaps he really has something to do."
"How is that possible! He's at the old residence right now, and he just showered there, so he's clearly going to sleep there tonight. It must be that old immortal still trying to get them back together. His heart has been completely captured by that vixen."
He Xia's brows were tightly knit. She glanced at her daughter's anxious demeanor, which was so different from her usual gentle, generous, and calm self, and she felt a little annoyed.
"What you need to do now is adjust your temperament!"
Nan Shiqing: "..." Her mouth twitched, and she said irritably again, "In front of him, I've never lost my temper. It's the same as in front of you. This is only in front of you, but Fu Siye still has no patience with me. But I can't lie in bed every day to make him feel guilty, can I? Is he going to fall in love with a vegetative person? Over time, he'll get tired of it and be lured away by the healthy and attractive Mu Yinyin!"
"In front of me, you're just exposing yourself more. Your mindset is already different from before, and you can't maintain the demeanor of a young lady of status. You'll unknowingly devalue yourself. Fu Siye is so shrewd, do you think he wouldn't notice?"
Nan Shiqing's expression changed, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
She… did she really expose herself?
Did Fu Siye start to become cold to her because of this?
