Not long after hanging up the phone, Bai Yun gently pushed open the office door, peeked in, and asked with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, "Sister... are you busy?"
Guan Wenru looked up at the sound, quickly concealing her irritation and trying to appear natural. "Xiaoyun, come in."
Bai Yun walked in, closed the door, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Sister... um... did you... did you contact Brother Mu Fan today? What... what did he say?"
Earlier this morning, her sister said she had already obtained the contact information for the Capital Medical University.
She was distracted all morning and had intended to wait until she got home from get off work to ask her sister, but... she just couldn't wait any longer.
That day, my head was foggy and I couldn't do anything.
Seeing Bai Yun's anxious expression, Guan Wenru's heart sank, but she remained calm on the surface, even showing a slightly relaxed expression. "Come, sit down and let's talk."
There was some chewable yogurt on her desk. She opened a small bag and handed it to Baiyun, saying, "You didn't eat much at noon, have some of this."
"Thank you, sister." Baiyun took it, but didn't eat it.
She really doesn't have much of an appetite right now.
Guan Wenru patted her on the shoulder, "I have just contacted the reception office of the dormitory where Xi Mufan is staying."
Bai Yun's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked eagerly, "Really?! What...what did he say? Is he...is he angry with me?"
Guan Wenru laughed lightly, "Why don't you ask him yourself?"
"..." Bai Yun lowered her head, "Sister, please stop teasing me."
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Guan Wenru shook her head, making up a story with great seriousness, "I just confirmed that I can contact Xi Mufan by calling that number, but I still can't find him today."
The gatekeeper said their school had arranged for Xi Mufan and his group of worker-peasant-soldier students to participate in some kind of urgent internship or observation at another large hospital. Anyway, it was a closed-off program, the kind where they couldn't answer the phone! The gatekeeper said they wouldn't be back for two or three days.
Baiyun was somewhat disappointed, but still breathed a sigh of relief.
Guan Wenru patted Baiyun's head again, "Don't worry, the old man in the gatehouse has noted it down and said he'll tell Xi Mufan as soon as he gets back, and that he'll call us back immediately!"
Don't worry, he won't get away! When he comes back, I'll make sure he has a proper explanation to give you!
A faint smile finally appeared on Bai Yun's face. "Um... thank you, sister."
As soon as Bai Yun left, the ease on Guan Wenru's face vanished instantly, replaced by solemnity and a hint of anxiety.
She leaned back in her chair, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, her eyes sharply fixed on the silent telephone.
If Xi Mufan doesn't answer the phone, how can she let him know that Bai Yun is pregnant?
Sometimes it's really annoying how inconvenient transportation is these days.
If she could take a plane, she would fly back immediately; the round trip would only take a few hours.
......
When Guan Wenru got home from get off work, she asked Baiyun to play with the triplets while she prepared dinner.
It's really just for show; almost everything is taken out of the space.
She didn't know what kind of taste Baiyun couldn't stand, so she took out a few dishes before letting Baiyun into the kitchen.
Let her try it first.
Bai Yun had just taken a bite of scrambled eggs with tomatoes when she suddenly covered her mouth, tried to hold it in for a few moments, but couldn't, and ran to the bathroom to vomit.
Guan Wenru immediately went over and patted her back.
Hearing the noise, the eldest of the triplets immediately went to pour a glass of water, saying, "Auntie, have some water."
Bai Yun's face paled slightly. She nodded and forced a smile, "Thank you, Da Bao."
She took it, took a small sip of water to calm herself down, and said, "Sister, I'm fine now. I'm sorry for wasting food."
"What are you saying!" Guan Wenru led her back to the kitchen and turned to the expectant triplets, saying, "Your aunt is fine. You can continue playing. Dinner will be ready when Dad comes back."
The triplets nodded obediently and said in unison, "Okay."
Back in the kitchen, Guan Wenru asked Baiyun to try something else.
You can eat pork ribs, and you can also eat stir-fried vegetables with garlic.
I just can't stand the smell of eggs, and I can't eat mutton.
After confirming that Baiyun could eat ribs, Guan Wenru kept it in mind, "Starting tomorrow, I'll bring you lunch. Come to my office at noon and eat with me."
She stared at Baiyun with a serious expression, "In the future, if you feel like vomiting in front of people, especially in crowded places, try to bear it as much as possible."
If you really can't hold it in, get up immediately and find a secluded spot, or come directly to my office. Just don't show it in places like the cafeteria or the workshop.
Baiyun understood what her sister meant and nodded, "Okay, I understand, sister. Luckily I have you."
Otherwise, she really wouldn't know what to do!
These days, women are treated very harshly!
Especially...especially unmarried girls!
If she vomits once or twice, it's fine, but if it happens too often, someone with ulterior motives will see it and who knows what kind of rumors will spread!
Gossip can be deadly!
Guan Wenru's expression softened, and she reached out to gently pat Baiyun's head. "Silly girl, don't thank me. In those years when your brother-in-law was away from the army, if it weren't for you helping me out at home and outside, I wouldn't have been able to make it. Sisters are meant to rely on and help each other."
Bai Yun's eyes welled up with tears, "Sister..."
Guan Wenru withdrew her hand. "Don't cry, or those three kids outside will think I'm bullying you."
"Pfft..." Baiyun was amused by her.
Guan Wenru smiled and said, "Right now, don't think about anything else. Just take care of yourself and the baby in your belly! Eat well, rest well, and don't overwork yourself! As for the rest... I'll take care of it! The sky won't fall!"
