âHuanhuan, Iâm not good at speaking. I just feel that you have been working too hard to take care of Luoluo recently, and Minyan also said that he hopes you will enjoy your life more in the future. Iâm really thankful to you, but when it comes to disciplining a child, it should still be left to us parents, donât you think? Also, Luoluo is still young, sheâs only five years old. She canât develop wasteful habitsâ¦â
âAuntie Tu.â Shi Huan couldnât help interrupting her, âIf you think the things I bought for Luoluo are too expensive and could spoil her, I will control myself in the future. But, isnât it a bit too much to forbid me from meeting her?â
A momentary stiffness crossed Tu Youranâs face.
Perhaps she didnât expect that the usually gentle Shi Huan would rebuke her so straightforwardly.
However, her voice remained gentle, and her posture was still elegant, âHuanhuan, please donât be angry. I didnât mean anything else. Iâm just worried that Luoluo will develop bad habits. If Iâve given you any misunderstanding, Iâm sorry. But please donât blame me. Thereâs a saying âAll parents are uneasy.â I really have no other choice.â
After she finished speaking, she took a look at the time, âHuanhuan, I still have things to do. Iâll leave first so I wonât delay your dinner.â
ââ¦Alright.â
After Tu Youran left, Shi Huan closed the door and stood there, unable to recover for a long time.
So, sheâs not allowed to see Luoluo anymore in the future?
A sense of emptiness that she couldnât understand crept into her heart.
It was even more heartbreaking than⦠when she first found out that Shi Minyan was her real uncle. It was so heartbreaking that she had difficulty breathing.
She thought back to the first time she met Luoluo.
It was half a year ago.
That was the day Shi Minyan and Tu Youran first came back to the country. She was also called back to the Shi Family house.
She had to work overtime due to an emergency in the company, and by the time she arrived home it was already past seven in the evening. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw a little girl seated in the corner of the sofa.
With her little head drooping, she was holding a huge pink Peppa Pig doll in her hands.
The adults in the room were all chatting, some even somewhat noisy, yet she was just there, curled up all by herself. She was silent, peaceful, unlike other kids her age.
âYou only come back when youâre begged, your uncle and aunt are home and you canât be bothered to come back earlier? You have no respect for your elders. You have absolutely no manners!â Mrs. Shiâs scolding could be heard.
âAlright, Mum.â He stopped his mother, looking at Shi Huan with a gentle gaze, âHuanhuan, have you had dinner yet?â
Before Shi Huan could answer, Mrs. Shi started complaining again, âSheâs always eating out enjoying herself. She doesnât have time to care about me. If you werenât back today, she wouldnât bothering coming home at all!â
She went on and on, scolding for a long time.
Shi Huan didnât say anything until Mrs. Shi shouted again, âYouâve been in the house for a while. Havenât you greeted anyone yet?â
âUncle, Auntie,â Shi Huan immediately greeted.
âHuanhuan.â Tu Youran got up with a smile, fetching a pink bag from the side, âThis is a gift for you. I didnât know what you liked, so I brought you a set of skincare products.â
âThank you, Auntie.â
âYouâre welcome.â Tu Youran went on, âThis time Minyan and I came back to settle our house. We plan to move back next time.â
âOK.â
âYouran, how do I use this massage chair you got me?â Mrs. Shi started shouting again.
Tu Youran rushed over to teach Mrs. Shi.
Shi Huan, holding the bag, took a look and sat down on a nearby sofa.
The adults were trying out the massage chair, all smiles.
Shi Huan took out her phone from her bag, just about to look at it when suddenly a small hand was stretched out in front of her.
Soft and plump little paws, with short little fingers. They looked particularly cute.
When she turned her head, she saw Little Luoluo raising her little head to look up at her.
Her big eyes were bright and clear, with curled lashes and deep eyelids, she looked as pretty as a doll.
âDo you like Peppa Pig?â Even her babyish voice was so adorable.
Shi Huan wasnât particularly fond of children, let alone this Peppa Pig, but seeing the little girlâs cute and soft looks, she couldnât help but smile and nod her head, âYes.â
âCan we play together then?â Little Luoluo spoke, offering the toy in her arms to Shi Huan.
Shi Huan was left speechless by the pink Peppa Pig. Before she could react, the little girl also leaned herself towards her.
Her soft, boneless little body leaned on Shi Huan, bringing along a sweet milky scentâ¦
**
On the other hand.
Su Wenwen and Huo Jingshen stayed on the golf course until after four in the afternoon.
After changing clothes, she got back into the car and called Mo Weiyi.
After hanging up the call, she said, âLetâs go to Nangong Hospital.â
âOkay.â Without asking any further questions, Huo Jingshen drove off.
At that time, at Nangong Hospital.
After Mo Weiyi said âgoodbyeâ, she saw Xiao Yebai hang up the phone and put it back in her small bag.
A manly hand with clear bone structure was holding the womanly pink Channel handbag.
Looking at her own hands, they were bandaged up like two rice dumplings. It was so inconvenient that even answering a phone call made her feel disabled.
The two of them went to the burn unit where they consulted with an experienced senior doctor who, after a check-up, changed the medication and re-bandaged the wounds.
Throughout the whole process, Mo Weiyi didnât dare to watch.
Finally, when the bandaging was finished, she asked a bit worriedly, âDoctor, are you sure there wonât be any scars?â
Xiao Yebai glanced at her.
âNo, Miss Mo, you can rest assured. You will need to come back every other day to have the bandages changed. Do not get them wet and as long as the wounds do not become infected, you will be fine.â
âHmm.â Mo Weiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the burn unit, she clung onto Xiao Yebaiâs arm with her two wrapped âpawsâ and took the elevator up to the twentieth floor.
Upon entering the sickroom, she unexpectedly saw Xu Jing.
âYiyi, Yebai, youâre here.â Xu Jing was equally surprised when she saw them. She even stood up in a slight panic.
Mo Weiyi looked at her, then at Mo Yaoxiong lying on the hospital bed.
Mo Yaoxiong coughed twice, âWhy are you here at this hour?â
Mo Weiyi replied, âAunt Zhou hasnât finished cooking yet. Since I had nothing to do at home, I decided to come and see you.â
After that, she turned to Xu Jing, âAunt, when did you come?â
âI just arrived too.â Xu Jing quickly walked away saying, âI will go put these flowers in a vase.â
She picked up a bunch of African daisies and started busying herself while keeping her back to everyone.
Mo Weiyi thought her reaction was a bit odd.
Why would someone visiting Mo Yaoxiong be so flustered?
Did something happen?
Just as she was about to inquire further, Mo Yaoxiong asked, âYiyi, how did you hurt yourself seriously?â
He looked at his daughterâs hands. He had thought it was just a minor burn, but to his surpriseâ¦
âItâs fine, the doctor said it would heal in a few days. And the little bitch who did this to me has already been taught a lesson.â Mo Weiyi said this much.
Mo Yaoxiong nodded, âIf itâs too much to bear, you can return to the Mo Family and do an internship. The Mo family has a legal department, your Uncle Liu can personally mentor youâ¦â
âNo, Iâve already reported to Yurui. Once I get better, I will return to work.â
Mo Yaoxiong frowned, âThen Iâll talk to your Uncle Lu.â
Mo Weiyi pouted, âAlright.â
In fact, there was no need for him to intercede. Anyone in the legal profession could find out about her situation by doing a simple background check.
After a while, Su Wenwen and Huo Jingshen also came over.
Originally, she intended to visit Mo Weiyi at Lishui Bay.
Knowing that she was at the hospital and that Mo Yaoxiong was injured and also hospitalized, she simply decided to bring some gifts and visit them both together.
The four of them lingered in the sick room for about half an hour as Xu Jing busied herself doing various chores like wiping the table, tidying upâ¦
It wasnât until Aunt Zhou came to deliver dinner that Mo Weiyi got up, âDad, we need to go.â
âAlright.â Mo Yaoxiong turned to Huo Jingshen, âMr. Huo, take care.â
Huo Jingshen naturally responded with courtesy.
Even though the business dealings between the Huo family and the Mo family were scarce, and there even existed some competition, the younger generation, represented by Huo Jingshen, was very respectful.
âAunt.â Mo Weiyi suddenly spoke up, âWhere are you staying now? Do you want us to drop you off on our way?â
âNo need.â Xu Jing hurriedly refused, âI still have some things to discuss with your father.â
âWhat kind of things?â Mo Weiyi asked instinctively.
Could it be about Qu Yunyao again?
âThisâ¦â Xu Jing hesitated, her expression evasive.
Mo Weiyi couldnât help but frown. But before she could probe further, Mo Yaoxiong quickly interjected, âYiyi, you and Yebai should go home first.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright.â Mo Weiyi had no choice but to agree.
Once the two couples finally left, Mo Yaoxiong immediately dismissed Aunt Zhou, his face stern, âXu Jing, what were you doing just now? Were you deliberately exposing yourself in order to get Yiyi and Yebai suspicious?â
