Ye Xi felt like the heavens were playing a cruel joke on her.
Across from her, Fu Yunhai looked at her nervously and said, "Ye Xi, Daddy doesn't expect you to forgive me, but I've never given up searching for you all these years. Now that I've finally found you, I don't want to..."
"What about her? How has she been?"
Ye Xi suddenly interrupted what Fu Yunhai was about to say.
Fu Yunhai paused, then he realized whom she was referring to.
He asked again, uncertain, "Are you asking about your mother?"
Ye Xi didn't respond as a turmoil of emotions churned within her.
Her silence stood as her answer, for her gaze never left him for an instant.
Fu Yunhai shifted his gaze away guiltily and unconsciously rested his hand on his coffee cup, saying, "Your mother... she's been doing well, too."
Ye Xi's eyelashes quivered slightly.
For a fleeting moment, how she wished that Fu Yunhai would say she'd been doing poorly.
