Chapter 85 Illness

She thought of Xiao Haoyuan. In the past three years, Xiao Haoyuan's Haoyang Technology has become more and more famous in the industry. If he is willing to help her and the Yu family...

While thinking about what else she had to exchange besides the verbal favor, Yu Nian wiped her hair and walked out of the bathroom. Perhaps she was too immersed in the conversation, and she didn't notice him sitting on the only single sofa in her bedroom until Ji Yanxing called her.

"Nian Nian."

Yu Nian was startled and looked at him subconsciously, "Huh?"

She had just finished a shower, and she was dressed casually in a suspender nightgown, with her wet long hair draped on one side. She looked at him with clear and confused eyes. Ji Yanxing's Adam's apple rolled, "Something happened at the hospital, I need to go there now."

Yu Nian felt her heart twitch suddenly. The pain made her want to squat down subconsciously. Countless sarcastic words flashed through her mind.

"Are you a doctor?" "She's in the hospital, what could happen to her?"

"Do you really have to go there in person?"

"Can't we let our subordinates go?"

These thoughts were suppressed by reason in just a moment. She stopped wiping her hair and looked down at him, "Well, I'll talk to my parents."

Ji Yanxing didn't move, and squinted at her, "I thought you would say you wouldn't let me go."

Her first reaction was indeed willful and she told him not to go.

But if something really happened, could she afford the consequences?

Yu Nian continued to wipe her hair and whispered, "Since you said you need to go, it means that the situation over there must be serious. You should go quickly, otherwise what if something big happens?" Ji Yanxing looked at her quietly and suddenly remembered his first impression of her. She gave people the impression of a gentle, decent, generous and elegant daughter of a noble family. She was sensible enough to consider the overall situation, know the occasion, and would not act capriciously like a child.

But in these four years, she revealed too much of her girlish nature in front of him, causing him to gradually forget the gentle mask she showed to others.

The reason I was willing to marry her in the beginning was because of her: she was beautiful, gentle, and sensible. She was simply the model of a perfect wife.

Ji Yanxing stared at her for a few seconds, then stood up and said calmly, "Good night."

Yu Nian didn't look at him and continued to wipe her hair, listening to his footsteps, then the sound of the door opening and closing, and the bedroom returned to silence.

After closing the door, her body seemed to suddenly regain consciousness. She threw the wet towel on the sofa and walked towards the balcony.

She was only wearing a suspender nightgown, and her body was chilled by the evening breeze. Her exposed limbs were all cold, especially her legs, which seemed to be frozen and too heavy to lift.

It turned out that summer nights were colder than she had imagined.

The car lights suddenly lit up. The cold white light was completely different from the warm yellow street lights in the yard. It shone farther and brighter. Yu Nian put his hands on the railing and watched him drive out the door, speeding on the road until he disappeared from sight.

Another gust of wind blew over, and Yu Nian felt a little cold on his face.

She subconsciously raised her hand and found that her face was covered with tears.

Yu Nian didn't sleep all night. The next day, he went downstairs to have breakfast. Only He Manlian and Yu Congye were at the table. Yu Yi and Yu Xiang were probably still sleeping.

"Why did you get up so early?" He Manlian was a little surprised to see her get up so early.

Yu Nian pulled out a chair and sat down, then lied, "I went to bed early last night."

He Manlian didn't think much about it and asked casually, "By the way, did Yan Xing go out last night?"

Yu Nian's eyelashes trembled, and he hummed, "His friend is sick, so he rushed to the hospital."

"You're sick, is it serious?"

"It should be serious."

He Manlian sighed and changed the subject, "How many days do you plan to stay at home this time?"

Yu Nian thought for a moment and said, "Three or four days, maybe. Just consider it a rest."

After four years of marriage, He Manlian's impression of Ji Yanxing has become better and better. He is gentle, humble and polite in front of her, and treats her daughter gently and considerately. Even during the years in Australia, he would accompany Yu Nian back to City B during the New Year and other holidays.

As someone who had experienced this, He Manlian could naturally see her daughter's feelings for Ji Yanxing. She knew her daughter well. Yu Nian was a reserved person who could not bring herself to say sweet words, and would often express them directly through actions.

During the more than two years of living apart, Ji Yanxing flew back to see her many times, and she went to Australia to accompany him many times as well.

Both of them are investing in this relationship.

He Manlian heard her say this and brought up the past again: "Yan Xing was here last night, and I didn't feel comfortable saying much about you. What do you think about the child?"

"Mommy..."

He Manlian glared at her.

Yu Nian had a headache because of staying up all night, so she evaded the question and said, "Mom, I don't want to have a baby so early. I won't have so much freedom after having a baby. Let's talk about it in a few years."

He Manlian snorted: "In a few years? In a few years? Before your latest childbearing age?"

Yu Nian: "..."

Ms. He is a traditional parent. In the past two years, because Ji Yanxing was abroad, she restrained herself from urging the baby to give birth. Now that Ji Yanxing is back, she naturally wants to urge him to give birth. Fortunately, Yu Xiang and Yu Yi went downstairs to change the topic. Yu Yi pulled a chair and sat down in a daze, and asked casually, "Sister, why did my brother-in-law go out last night?"

"His friend is sick."

"No wonder," Yu Yi yawned, "I saw him when I went upstairs last night. He didn't look well.

It turned out that my friend was sick. ”

Yu Nian's eyelashes trembled, and he picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

Yu Xiang and Yu Yi interrupted, and He Manlian finally stopped talking about the child. The family of five was happily eating breakfast, and the housekeeper suddenly came in to announce: "The son-in-law is here."

Yu Nian paused and subconsciously looked towards the door, and a tall and slender figure came into view.

The light shone in from behind him, as if casting a halo over his entire body.

The man was wearing a black shirt with a few wrinkles at the collar, but it did not affect his noble and cold temperament at all. His dark eyes looked at her intently. Perhaps because he had not slept all night, there were obvious red bloodshot in his eyes.

"Yanxing, I heard from Nian Nian that your friend is sick. How is he now?" He Manlian asked with concern.

Ji Yanxing's gaze stayed on Yu Nian for a moment, then he walked towards the restaurant, his voice a little hoarse: "It's okay."

"I'm glad you're okay," He Manlian signaled the servant to serve him breakfast, "You just returned home, so you must have a lot of things to do."

Ji Yanxing said modestly: "Not bad."

He sat down next to Yu Nian, chatted with He Manlian calmly, answered Yu's work questions, and poured a glass of milk for Yu Nian.

Yu Nian took the milk, took a sip, and put the cup down.

Ji Yanxing looked at the almost untouched cup of milk, a hint of darkness flashing across his eyes.

Yu Xiang's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and she keenly sensed something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile, "Sister, we are going to see Brother Lu's art exhibition this afternoon. Does brother-in-law want to go with us?"
