Chapter 1062 - Trying To be Clingy With Her

Xiao Yuqian was very stubborn herself. She would not admit that she was very worried about his injury.

In fact, her heart was full of gratitude to him. If he hadn’t appeared in time, then not only would Yuan Bao have been injured, his mother would not have escaped from harm either.

“Why did you come to the hospital, Jing Xi? Could it be that you’re pregnant?” Ma Haodong asked nosily.

“…” Xu Xiyan laughed as she explained, “No, I’m not pregnant. I’m here to see a friend’s child. It just happened that you’re that brave man who saved the child—his name is Yuan Bao.”

Xiao Yuqian’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Xu Xiyan nervously, thinking that she was going to expose it.

Apparently Ma Haodong was still clueless. “Really? Is there such a coincidence?”

“Yeah! It’s a real coincidence!”

Xu Xiyan didn’t let out the secret but she laughed inwardly: Brother Dong, you have no idea that you’ve just saved your own son!

After chatting with Xu Xiyan for a short while, Ma Haodong asked again, “It’s getting late. Aren’t you going home, Jing Xi? Won’t your husband worry about you?”

“It’s fine. I’m here to accompany you guys for a chat,” Xu Xiyan said.

Ma Haodong felt that this third wheel was taking up all the space. He winked at her, trying to imply something. “I don’t need your company. You can go on with your business. Qianqian is enough to accompany me here.”

Oh, it turned out that she was in their way!

Well, okay then!

Xu Xiyan got the message. She got up and prepared to leave, then said to Xiao Yuqian, “Sister Qianqian, I have to go pick up my daughter. I’ll leave you to take care of things here. I’ll come again tomorrow to see your Yuan Bao!”

“Hey, Jing Xi…”

Xiao Yuqian felt like crying. She was not specifically here to take care of Ma Haodong; she had only come to see him. Furthermore, she still had to take care of her son!

Since she could not get Xu Xiyan to stay, she decided to leave too. “I was only here to check on you. I have no time to accompany you.”

But Ma Haodong grabbed her wrist in time. “You can’t go! If you leave, who is going to take care of me?”

“…” Xiao Yuqian was speechless. Was he trying to be clingy with her?

But then again, she should be thankful to him and take care of him. As Xiao Yuqian thought of this, she was no longer in a hurry to leave.

As soon she sat down, Ma Haodong asked her, a suspicious expression on his face, “What did Jing Xi say just now? Your Yuan Bao? That child…”

“You’ve heard it wrongly!” Xiao Yuqian steeled herself as she explained, then quickly steered the subject away. “You haven’t said…why were you there at the scene?”

Ma Haodong didn’t mind her changing the subject. Instead, he began to chat with her happily, “I was accompanying my nephew at the amusement park.”

Xiao Yuqian had heard him tell her before that he had a nephew and she had also seen photos of his nephew before. He was his uncle’s child. Ma Haodong liked children very much, otherwise he would not have the patience to take his nephew to the amusement park.

Thus, the two began to get into conversation as though something had changed in them.

…

The next day, Xu Xiyan brought a fruit basket to visit Yuan Bao at the hospital.

The little guy was much more spirited. When he heard that it was an uncle who had bravely saved him, he pestered his mother that he wanted to see what that uncle looked like.

“We can talk about this again after you’re discharged from the hospital!”

Xiao Yuqian didn’t want to let the two meet.

Helpless, Yuan Bao asked his grandmother, “Grandma, when can Yuan Bao be discharged from the hospital?”

Wen Lanying laughed. “When the doctor comes to inform you, you can be discharged.”

Yuan Bao asked again, blinking his large eyes, “When will the doctor come inform me?”

“…” Wen Lanying was stumped by his question. She glanced at her daughter for help.

Yuan Bao had reached the age where he had a lot of questions. Once he opened his mouth to ask something, there would be no end to his questions, often causing the adults to be at loss on how to answer him.
