"Qi Lei, I'm sorry. I didn't think that would happen to Aunty Wang either," Gu Lingsha spoke, the hint of sorrow unable to be concealed in her voice.

However, before Gu Lingsha could finish, Qi Lei had already spoken up to cut her short, "My mother's already gone. Can you all stop bringing this up every time? I already said I'm fine. I'm fine! I'm doing great! If I wasn't fine, would I have come back to work?"

When Qi Lei said this, his silent eyes gleamed with gloom.

"I'm sorry, Qi Lei. Don't be angry! I was just... I was just concerned about you! Since you're fine, that's great! You look like you've become much thinner. I hope that you'll take good care of yourself," said Gu Lingsha, helplessly lowering her voice as she turned pale.

Qi Lei did not take another look at her. He turned around and walked away, leaving only an apathetic shadow behind with Gu Lingsha.
