“We should be the one thanking you for saving our son . ” Mu Li rubbed her eyes, feeling grateful .
“Where’s Bai Jing?” Xuxu peered at the bathroom but there was no sight of Bai Jing .
Su Yue answered, “She went out after answering a call . I don’t know . ”
Before Su Yue could even finish her sentence, a petite figure entered through the door . It was Bai Jing .
She was holding her old-looking cellphone and had kept her head bowed as if something preoccupied her mind . She was dumbfounded when she saw Xuxu and the rest as she entered the ward . She immediately recomposed herself, lifted her spirits a little and nodded at them .
“Bai Jing . ” Xuxu smiled and walked up to her .
Bai Jing greeted her lightly . “Third sister-in-law . ”
As they walked towards the bed, Mu Li stood up and looked at Bai Jing before gently telling her, “My child, you’ve been staying here for the past two nights . Go home and take a rest first . There are people here to look after your father . ”
“It’s all right . I want to accompany my dad . ” Bai Jing shook her head . Although her voice was soft, she sounded determined .
She took a step forward and sat down by the bedside .
Then she took two pieces of tissue to wipe off the beads of perspiration from Bai Lisong’s face .
Mu Li stood by the side, and as she observed the scrawny Bai Jing, she sighed in helplessness .
“Bai Jing, this is Brother Qi Lei, whom I’ve told you about . ” Su Yue smiled as she introduced him to Bai Jing .
Bai Jing looked up and glanced at Qi Lei before answering with an ‘oh’ .
When Su Yue sensed that something was not quite right with Bai Jing, she held back her smile .
Bai Lisong who was lying on the bed could roughly guess what was on her mind . She asked Bai Jing, “Xiaojing, was that your mom who called?”
Bai Jing didn’t answer him . Instead, she asked, “Are you hungry?”
Bai Lisong didn’t press further . But from her expression, he already knew the answer . He nodded and replied, “I want to drink some water . ”
Xuxu felt that the presence of so many people would affect Bai Jing’s mood, hence, she expressed to Mu Li and Yan Weihong, “Father, Mother, shall we make a move first and let Uncle Bai take a good rest?”
Yan Weihong nodded . “Okay . ”
Xuxu was walking towards the door when she recalled something . She turned back to speak to Su Yue . “Yueyue, your brother is on a work trip . I’ll come and bring you back to our home tonight . ”
Su Yan had called her while she was on the way to the hospital and it nearly slipped her mind .
Su Yue shook her head . “It’s all right . I can go home myself . ”
Xuxu frowned and her tone was firm . “You wait here for me . Your Third Brother will come if I can’t come . ”
After that, she turned back and caught up with Mu Li and the rest without giving Su Yue a chance to speak .
Once they stepped out of the entrance, Xuxu looked at Yan Weihong and Mu Li and said, “Father, Mother, I’m going back to my studio now . Be careful on your way home . ”
“I thought you said that there’s not much work to do?” Mu Li held on to Xuxu’s hand and looked at her bulging and round belly with concern in her eyes . “Don’t go to work . ”
Xuxu smiled and answered, “There’s still some work to be done . Recently, I’ve been learning to sew from a master tailor, and I’m getting enthusiastic about it . ”
Sensing that Mu Li was worrying for her, she added, “I’ll be fine . I’ll be more careful and will go back early tonight . ”
Hearing this, Mu Li couldn’t bear to stop her . After all, it was her interest . “Then your Father and I will send you there . ”
Xuxu shook her head . “It’s okay . I can take a taxi . ”
“We’ll send you there since we have nothing to do when we get home . Let’s go for lunch first and you can go back to your studio after eating,” Yan Weihong spoke all of a sudden . His tone was deep and commanding, with no room for refuting .
