"Xiao Jun, you didn't look well just now. Haven't you recovered from what happened yesterday?"
"Yesterday? What happened?"
The question caught Cai Qiong completely off guard. She then heard Xu Qian continue, "Your father's health, of course. What else could it be?"
Xu Qian shook her head and grasped Cai Qiong's hand, her heart aching for her. She assumed the girl was so shaken by yesterday's events that she was even fumbling for words.
