Chapter 45: Delayed Engagement



Ten minutes later, Ye Chu looked at the sleeping boy, her heart was soft, she kissed his forehead and covered him with the quilt.

The boy cried so hard just now and was sleepy. He stayed up until she came out of the bath, and fell asleep when she was only halfway through the story.

Ye Chu lay down and couldn't fall asleep looking at the ceiling. She

was thinking about Xiao Beichen.

She didn't know how he was doing now. Did he go back to the Linhai Villa? What would be his reaction when he found out that she was not there?

The old house of the Xiao family.

The atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson was a little tense.

Old Master Xiao was sitting in a wheelchair, his haggard face showing the weakness of a serious illness, but his eyes were still sharp and serious. He looked at Xiao Beichen opposite him and said angrily, "Say it again."

Xiao Beichen was angry that his grandfather had pretended to be unwell and tricked him back. His cold and distant face showed forbearance and restraint, "The wedding date has been postponed."

"Originally, the engagement party should have been held two days ago, but you didn't even answer the phone at home and didn't want to go to the company because of that woman Ye Chu. If I didn't tell you that I was not feeling well, would you delay going home?"

Old Master Xiao became more and more angry. He was not in good health to begin with, and his breath was a little unstable when he was angry.

The housekeeper beside him patted the old man's back and looked at Xiao Beichen anxiously, hoping that he would not argue with the old man.

After all, it was his own grandfather who had taken great pains to cultivate him since he was a child, and the fact that his grandfather was seriously ill, Xiao Beichen was really jealous and irritated his grandfather.

So he did not directly say to cancel the engagement, but postponed the engagement.

Seeing that Grandpa was breathing unsteadily, Xiao Beichen had no choice but to give in. He relaxed his expression and said, "I haven't been feeling well these days."

Grandpa Xiao stared at his face doubtfully, "Are you sick?"

Xiao Beichen said, "Acute gastroenteritis. I'm feeling better now, but the test showed that I have Helicobacter pylori. I need to be carefully treated for a while."

Generally speaking, his two illnesses are not a big deal, but for him, it's almost the same as an ancient emperor feeling unwell.

Sure enough, Grandpa Xiao got nervous when he heard this. He immediately put aside the matter of engagement and couldn't help but start to remind him to pay attention to rest and so on.

Xiao Beichen was silent and helpless.

He didn't expect that Helicobacter pylori could have such an effect.

Fortunately, Grandpa's attention was diverted temporarily.

Xiao Beichen seemed to be listening attentively and quietly, replying a few words from time to time, but his soul had already flown back to the seaside villa.

It was already past one in the morning, and he didn't know if she was asleep. Knowing that he was out, she probably couldn't sleep until he came back...

Mingzhu Apartment.

Ye Chu's eyelids were twitching, and Xiao Beichen's face in her mind was sometimes blurry and sometimes clear, and she was constantly sleepy.

She simply closed her eyes and didn't look at the ceiling, intending to wait for sleep to come.

Suddenly, she felt a bump on her elbow.

She subconsciously looked down.

She saw the little guy frowning and looking at her with his eyes closed.

Ye Chu rubbed his eyes and looked at the boy again. Just when he felt something was wrong, he heard the boy mumbling uncomfortably: "Sister... Sister, my stomach hurts..."

All his sleepiness disappeared, and Ye Chu quickly sat up and approached the boy, "Xiao Rongxuan?"

The boy frowned even tighter and covered his stomach with both hands, "It hurts."

"Don't worry, sister will take you to the hospital now."

Ye Chu got up immediately, without even changing into pajamas. While putting on his coat, he picked up his phone and dialed Lu Yunze's number. The call

was connected immediately, and from the sound of his voice, Lu Yunze was still awake.

"Mr. Lu, Rongxuan has a stomachache. I'm taking him to the nearest hospital now."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Lu Yunze was obviously surprised, and his usually gentle tone was tinged with nervousness.
