Xuxu’s heart ached as she looked at the skinny little girl . She turned and asked Su Yue, “Has Bai Jing taken her lunch?”

Su Yue nodded . “She ate the chicken wings that Qi Lei made and also drank some porridge . ”
Xuxu felt more relieved after hearing this, and she turned towards Bai Jing to comfort her . “Bai Jing, you got to eat more so that your father won’t get worried for you, and he’ll be able to recover faster .
After that, she averted her gaze to Bai Lisong .
Bai Lisong immediately nodded in agreement . “Precisely, Xiaojing . Third Madam Yan is right . Daddy hopes to see you become more cheerful . So eat more and put on more weight . ”
Immense fatherly love filled his weak voice .
It was not just Bai Jing, but even Xuxu felt a sting in her eyes when she heard his words .
She placed her hand on Bai Jing’s shoulders and patted it in reassurance .

Then, with a gentle voice, she began to discuss with her . “Bai Jing, come with us to eat something . We’ll go for a spin, too . There’ll be people here to take care of him . Okay?”
Bai Jing shook her head . “I don’t feel like going out or go for a spin . ”
Even though she sounded soft, her attitude was determined and obstinate .
Xuxu didn’t insist because if she was in her shoes, given her father’s condition, she also won’t be able to set her mind at ease .
“Call me anytime if you need to,” Yan Rusheng spoke all of a sudden .
He looked at Bai Jing with a deep gaze .
His masculine yet gentle voice gave Bai Jing a sense of security . She lifted her face to look at Yan Rusheng . The gaze she had for him was completely filled with trust . She nodded and answered with an ‘Mm’ .

After they left the hospital, Xuxu’s heart felt heavy throughout the journey . The environment she was in earlier had affected her state .
She and Su Yue sat at the back passenger seat . Xuxu propped her arm on the wounded down car window . The words Bai Jing’s father had spoken that morning kept replaying in her mind .
Indeed, a father’s love is deep and worthy of the greatest admiration . She did not have the pleasure to experience it, but she finally witnessed it from Bai Jing’s father .
The cool summer evening breeze in the capital city brushed across her face, but it didn’t take away her sorrows .
Each time Yan Rusheng turned back to look at Xuxu, she was in the same state .
He knew that Bai Jing and her father had worried her .
“Wife, overflowing with sympathy again? Are you following in the footsteps of Mother Mary?” He laughed as he asked .
Even though his words sounded sarcastic, there wasn’t a hint of sarcasm in it .
Xuxu didn’t pay attention to Yan Rusheng’s words . Instead, she looked at him and sighed . “Ah Sheng, can you send someone to dig in deeper about Bai Jing’s father’s stomach cancer? Find out more about his condition and whether his prognosis is indeed bleak . ”
Yan Rusheng nodded his head . “Mm . ”
Even if she mentioned nothing, he already had the intention to look into it .
He had the same thinking as the rest . Regardless of what selfish thoughts went through Bai Lisong’s mind, he saved his life—there was no doubt about it .
The car was completely silent for quite a while until Xuxu’s cellphone suddenly rang . It was a call from an unfamiliar number .
She knitted her eyebrows in bewilderment and put her cellphone to her ear . “Hello . ”
“Xuxu, I’ve already reserved a VIP room . Have you arrived?”
The call was from Zhao Zheng . Xuxu was already irritated with the man, to begin with, and now that she felt lousy, she said to Zhao Zheng in an annoyed tone, “Forget it, Zhao Zheng . I’m too tired today and I don’t feel like going anymore . ”
After that, she hung up .
She abruptly ended the call with the four-eyed frog?
Yan Rusheng turned back and was about to give a thumbs up to Xuxu when her phone rang again . It was Zhao Zheng .
Yan Rusheng also saw the caller ID display on Xuxu’s phone . Xuxu grew impatient and wanted to cancel the call when Yan Rusheng extended his hand and snatched the phone over before placing it to his ears . “Hello Zhao Zheng, are you really sincere about giving a treat tonight?”
