Chapter 69 Adopting Suisui and Having a Home
Late at night, Gao Li went to the bathroom and went to bed in a daze after coming back.
Waves of cold air came over her, and she was so cold that she kept rubbing against Jian Yi, groaning with her eyes closed as she tried to grab Jian Yi's quilt.
Jian Yi was awakened by her.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the woman's enlarged vision and felt her rubbing against his arms. Jian Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking he was dreaming.
He laughed, pulled the quilt to cover Gao Li, and then held her in his arms.
"You came here on your own."
The early morning sunlight shines through the curtains and falls on the window, casting a soft glow on the quiet room.
Jian Yi leaned against the head of the bed, resting his head on his arms, quietly looking at Gao Li's sleeping face.
Her thick eyelashes drooped gently, like two small brushes. Her head was buried under the covers, her cheeks flushed from sleep.
Jian Yi helped her pull the quilt down, his movements unconsciously adding a touch of tenderness.
The biological clock rang, Gao Li turned over and rubbed his sleepy eyes to wake up.
Before that, Jian Yi had quickly closed his eyes.
He thought she would panic and sneak away from the scene while no one else was awake.
Looking at the ceiling, Gao Li felt dazed for a moment, then turned to look at the handsome face of the man so close to her.
Gao Li: “…”
——［! ］
She sat up and scratched her messy hair. She couldn't remember how she ended up sleeping in bed and in a man's arms.
Unexpectedly, she did not lift the quilt and run away, but stared straight at Jian Yi's face.
Why did you arrive so promptly yesterday?
——［I am sure you will always keep an eye on me.］
——[Why are you always paying attention to me? Could it be...?]
Jian Yi's breathing stagnated, and his fingers curled up slightly under the quilt.
——[Wait, he's always watching me!]
——[Then my money!]
The card that Joe's father just gave her yesterday.
Jian Yi: “…”
While I felt a sense of relief for no reason, I also felt a little aggrieved.
No. 13: "Ahhhh!"
The sudden system sound startled the two of them.
Gao Li covered his heart.
——[You’re so jumpy, are you sick?]
No. 13: "Host, you're still thinking about money at this time. Go check on Sui Sui. She's not feeling well."
Gao Li flipped open the quilt and crawled under the bed. The quilt on the little girl was kicked aside, and her cheeks were flushed. Gao Li reached out and touched her forehead.
——[I have a fever.]
Jian Yi woke up and the family rushed to the hospital.
She had a high fever of 39 degrees, and the doctor gave her an IV drip. Jian Yi was looking after her in the ward, and Gao Li was holding a cup to get some hot water.
A little boy ran too fast and accidentally bumped into Gao Li, causing hot water to splash out. She was scalded and subconsciously dropped the cup.
"Gao Li? Are you okay? Did you get burned?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Gao Li looked over and coincidentally saw the aunt who had seen her pendant yesterday.
She smiled and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
But when Xu Wei saw a small red spot on the back of her hand, she took her to apply ointment and poured her another glass of water.
During their conversation, Gao Li found out that Aunt Xu's nephew was doing an internship at the hospital this year, and she happened to meet him when she came to deliver something to him.
At the same time, Xu Wei also knew the reason why Gao Li came to the hospital, and helped her hold the water cup and followed her into the ward.
The little girl had woken up, her face pale. She leaned against the headboard, looking wilted like a flower that had been dried in the sun.
When both of them saw the shiny ointment on Gao Li's hand, Sui Sui's eyes suddenly became red.
"Sister, I'm sorry."
Gao Li smiled and touched her head.
--[fine. ]
Xu Wei briefly explained what had happened and then left the ward.
Just as he closed the door for the last time, he took a deep look at the girl with wet eyes lying on the hospital bed.

Late at night, in the Liu family villa, Xu Wei tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about what she had learned during the day.
Liu Chen turned over and said, "What's the matter? Liu Yao provokes you again. If he provokes you, you beat him up."
Liu Yao is their son, who is sixteen years old this year. This naughty boy has entered his rebellious period and almost pissed off his parents to death.
"Who misses him?"
Xu Wei turned over in disgust and faced Liu Chen. "I ran into Gao Li and Jian Yi again at the hospital today. I asked around and they were looking for adoptive parents for their little girl."
In the darkness, Liu Chen opened his eyes, turned on the bedside lamp and looked at his wife, "You're not thinking about that again, are you?"
Xu Wei did not hide the truth after being told what happened.
"I just moved. They're looking for adoptive parents for the child anyway. Is it wrong for me to give it a try?"
"You."
Xu Wei sat up, the dim light illuminating her profile, giving her a feminine glow.
"The child has been sick these past two days, so I thought I'd take some time out in the next couple of days so we can go meet Jian Yi and Gao Li."
I didn't hear a reply, and I saw the man closed his eyes again.
Xu Wei kicked him in the calf in anger. "Did you hear me? Arrange your affairs and make time to go together. This will show our sincerity and respect."
"Okay, okay, I heard you."
Liu Chen turned over and fell asleep again.
Xu Wei sat quietly under the lamp for a while before turning it off and going back to sleep.
No matter whether you succeed or not, try your best so that you won’t regret it.
*
Three days later, Liu Chen and his wife visited Qingshan Villa.
The Gaoli people were stunned.
Since she came here, she has never seen Qingshan Villa entertain guests.
Since they had greeted each other in advance, Jian Yi knew why they were coming.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu Chen also tried their best to show sincerity and revealed the actual situation of their family.
Gao Li prepared some fruit and took a strawberry to eat while listening.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu Chen currently have only one son, who is sixteen years old.
In her early years, because her business was not stable yet, she did not have any more children after Liu Yao.
After settling down, Xu Wei still wanted a daughter, so she started preparing for pregnancy for her second child.
Unfortunately, the child was not saved. Furthermore, the couple's overwork in their youth left them physically damaged, making them unsuitable for future childbearing. Even if they were to conceive unexpectedly, it would likely be lost, as was the case with this one, and would further damage their bodies. Doctors therefore do not recommend further pregnancy.
Xu Wei stopped trying to force herself, but as she got older, her desire for a daughter grew stronger. Since they couldn't conceive, they discussed adopting a girl.
They happily met for a long time and adopted a five-year-old girl. Less than six months later, the girl's father came to visit. It turned out that the girl's mother had discovered she was pregnant after breaking up with her father. Her mother had died unexpectedly, and without her grandmother and aunt to take care of her, the girl ended up in an orphanage.
After doing a paternity test and confirming that he was the child's biological father, the child was allowed to go with his father.
Later, I never had the chance to meet another girl.
Jian Yi and Gao Li both saw their sincerity.
"Well," Jian Yi said, "If you don't mind, you can come to the villa and spend time with Sui Sui."
As for the Liu family, I had some prior knowledge and even conducted some research yesterday. Compared to other wealthy families, the Liu family was the result of the couple's own hard work. With a simple family structure, harmonious relationships between the couple, and assets, they seemed like a good candidate for foster parents.
But as to whether they are suitable or not, it depends on how they get along with each other, and more importantly, the meaning of Sui Sui.
Xu Wei is very grateful.
The two left the villa and went to the orphanage to talk with the director.
Everyone left, and Gao Li sat on the sofa with his arms folded and a frown on his face.
No. 13: "Host, you don't seem very happy."
——[No way, if it really works out, Suisui will have a complete family. I'm so happy for her.]
Gao Li stretched out his index finger and unconsciously drew circles on the sofa.
——[It’s just that we’ve been together for so long and have developed feelings for each other. If she gets adopted, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to see her again.]
——[Wow, No. 13, I can't bear to let her go. She was so timid and skinny when she first came. I finally managed to fatten her up a bit, but now she's leaving.]
Number 13 also lowered his voice, "Wow, I can't bear to leave either."
The sobbing sound was right next to his ears. Jian Yi lowered his eyes and listened secretly.
Even if they were trying to get along, Gao Li decided to tell Sui Sui about this matter. She had the right to know and the right to screen.
Sui Sui's eyes suddenly turned red and she hid in the bathroom, sobbing softly.
She never dared to forget that she was only living here temporarily and would be sent away one day.
After crying, she wiped her tears and nodded sensibly.
Looking at Sui Sui's red eyes, Gao Li felt very uncomfortable.
Qingshan Villa became lively. Xu Wei and Liu Chen came over every now and then, and Xu Wei even wanted to live in Qingshan Villa.
While still thinking about this matter, No. 13 started to urge the task again.
No. 13: "Host, I have to remind you that ever since you paid off your debt last time, you've been showing off and haven't taken the initiative to complete it again. There's still one day left for this settlement, so please take it seriously."
Gao Li opened a bag of potato chips and ate while walking to the flower shop.
——［How much have I completed now?］
Number 13 retrieved the results. "You added one more after paying off your debt last time, so the current progress is [575/1050]. Oh, you also bought a bottle on credit at Mrs. Qiao's party."
Gao Li was thinking as he bit the potato chips until they crunched.
——[Haven’t I paid back the miracle medicine used to give Jian Yi emergency treatment twice? Cross out those fifty bottles of miracle medicine and return to the original concise part.]
No. 13: "Okay, your current task progress is [225/700], and the magic medicine [10 (internal) + 22 (external)/100, plus one bottle on credit."
Listening to number 13 ruthlessly reading out the numbers, Gao Li was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue.
——[Goodness me, I worked hard for most of my life, and I only completed 32% of the progress bar?]
No. 13 said ruthlessly, "No, to be more precise, it's 31%."
"If it were someone else's host, the plot would have been more than halfway completed by the time it was halfway through."
Gao Li refused to accept this.
——[How dare you say that to me? Do you think it's reasonable?]
——[Those fifty bottles of magic medicine were used to save him. If they had been used on his legs, he would have stood up by now. You are so cruel!]
No. 13: "He was almost dead at that time. His face and legs would be useless. And if he became critically ill again in the future, he might need..."
Buy on credit.
Gao Li: “…”
Play with her, right?
Okay, to avoid any more trouble, she rolled up her sleeves and worked hard to crush them.
