An eerie silence filled the ward.
The others remained silent, watching Luo Xiujuan standing at the door, their gazes falling on the thermos in her hand.
Over time, Luo Xiujuan's hands began to give way from carrying the thermos.
Because she had been carrying it for so long, her arms started to ache, and the thermos in her hands felt increasingly heavy, causing her arms to tremble involuntarily.
"No."
Finally, Ye Yun spoke up.
Ye Yun's voice was indifferent, and she looked at Luo Xiujuan with a lukewarm gaze. She parted her thin lips slightly and said, "You don't need to go to such lengths. You and I have nothing to do with each other now, and I have no right to drink the chicken soup you brought. I have my own family to take care of. You should go back and take care of your mother-in-law."
The tone of refusal was resolute.
The light in Luo Xiujuan's eyes went out, and the hand holding the thermos gradually fell to the ground.
She knew that Ye Yun was showing her no mercy whatsoever and had cut off any possibility of her reconciling with them.
But she really wanted to give the chicken soup to Ye Yun. It was made with the best meat that she had carefully selected. Neither she nor her son deserved to eat it. Ye Yun was the only one who should get it.
But Ye Yun doesn't need it.
Luo Xiujuan was caught in a dilemma.
"What are you doing blocking the doorway?"
The ward door was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Jin looked at Luo Xiujuan blocking the doorway with a confused expression before squeezing into the ward.
Today, Gu Jin is completely transformed.
He wore a new deep chestnut coat, made of wool, with a sweater vest underneath, and a baseball cap, exuding the refined elegance of a scion of a prominent family.
That is, if you ignore the nonchalant attitude in his eyes and brows.
Seeing the thermos Luo Xiujuan was carrying, and then the fish soup on Ye Yun's table, he smiled and said, "Well, it's good to be in confinement after childbirth, even the meals are doubled?"
"I haven't had lunch yet, so this is mine."
Ignoring the surprise on Luo Xiujuan's face, he reached out and snatched the thermos from her hand.
Everyone was slightly surprised.
The next second, Gu Jin unscrewed the lid of the thermos, hugged it, and gulped down a big mouthful.
Ye Yun: "..."
Qin Zheng: "..."
Others: "..."
Luo Xiujuan was speechless, her outstretched hand unable to stop her, her bewildered eyes blinking repeatedly.
How could he get off so easily?
"Cough cough, Emma..."
After taking a sip, Gu Jin's expression seemed to be wearing a mask of pain.
He reached out and handed the thermos to Luo Xiujuan, waving it away with a look of disgust: "No, it's too greasy, I can't drink it. Even I can't drink it, so forget it."
Luo Xiujuan was astonished. "Nutritious?"
She glanced at the chicken soup in the thermos, noting that she had carefully skimmed off all the oil, so how could it still be greasy?
Before she could even speak, Gu Jin grabbed her arm and pushed her out of the room.
"You'd better leave quickly. I just saw your son wandering around outside alone. These days, human traffickers are rampant, especially targeting boys. Be careful your son doesn't get kidnapped!" After saying that, he pushed Luo Xiujuan out of the ward and slammed the door shut.
Outside the door, Luo Xiujuan: "..."
Holding an uncovered thermos of chicken soup, he was completely bewildered.
From the moment Gu Jin appeared, only a minute had passed before she was kicked out of the ward, and the chicken soup in her hand was even dirty!
...
In the ward.
Everyone considered Luo Xiujuan's incident a minor episode, but Gu Jin, who had drunk the chicken soup, smacked his lips with great relish after closing the door.
He pulled a handkerchief from his breast pocket, wiping the soup stains from his mouth as he said, "You know what, her chicken soup is pretty good."
Everyone: "..."
Not bad, why aren't you finishing your drink yet?
You give someone a taste, then give it back. How disgusting is that?
Qin Zheng and Ye Yun remained silent.
Qin Xiang'e frowned and looked at Gu Jin with disgust: "Pah, even a country bumpkin like her finds her disgusting."
"What brings you here?"
Qin Zheng picked up the enamel mug, poured some water, and pushed it in front of Gu Jin.
Gu Jin sighed when this was mentioned.
"well!"
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and forced himself to laugh: "Haha..."
Qin Zheng: "..."
Qin Zheng pushed the water glass towards him and immediately pulled it back, keeping a meter away from him. He squinted at him warily and with disgust. Is he sick?
