Xiao Wujie sat numbly next to Chu Liyue, took the soup and medicine Chu Liyue handed him, closed his eyes, and slurped it down in one go as if torturing himself.
The extremely bitter medicine and various pills entered his stomach, and the bitter taste churned in his mouth and stomach. Xiao Wujie frowned and groaned.
Seeing this, Chu Liyue grabbed his head, lowered her head and sealed his thin lips with hers, her fragrant tongue probing in, her fingers gently caressing his cheek.
"Sweetie, a kiss from your big sister will make it less bitter."
After gently nibbling at Chu Liyue for a while, Xiao Wujie became sleepy and fell asleep in her arms.
Her warm palm gently stroked his head, and Chu Liyue's eyes were slightly deep.
She could clearly sense that Xiao Wujie's energy had declined. In the past, and when he first arrived in the capital, he rarely took a nap, but now he takes a nap every noon.
Sweetie, hang in there, I'll make sure you get better!
Behind her, Bai Jingxuan, carrying a blanket, tiptoed in and sat down to the side.
Chu Liyue had him lie flat on her lap with his head on her lap, took the blanket that Bai Jingxuan handed her and covered him with it, then took his cold hands to warm them up.
"Good child, you've suffered."
Bai Jingxuan looked at Xiao Wujie, whose face was stunningly beautiful but pale, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
The weather in September wasn't cold at all, and she, who was nearly fifty, was still wearing a skirt. But Xiao Wujie, who was eighteen or nineteen and in the prime of his youth, was full of energy and had already put on long sleeves and a coat.
This child should be in the best years of his life, but he spends all his time with medicine and drugs. Even going out could lead to catching a cold and endangering his life.
Such a good child, fate has been too cruel to him.
As a special elder, she was already heartbroken at the sight. She couldn't imagine what kind of excruciating pain Xiao Wujie's biological parents would feel if they knew about his condition.
Her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Chu Liyue and spoke in a low voice.
"Liyue..."
"Have you ever thought about investigating Wu Jie's background and finding his biological parents?"
Chu Liyue was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, a hint of bewilderment flashing across her eyes.
She had actually investigated him secretly before, but Xiao Wujie seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and she couldn't find any trace of his background.
“I always felt that Wu Jie’s situation was very strange. His parents must not be ordinary people to be able to give birth to such an outstanding child.”
"Besides, you and your father both investigated this matter years ago, but despite having the Chu family's intelligence network, you found nothing. This really doesn't make sense..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Liyue's eyes grew even more somber. What Bai Jingxuan said was exactly what she had thought of, but it was the truth. Back then, neither she nor Chu Mingcheng had been able to find anything useful.
It's as if all of this person's information has been deliberately hidden...
"Liyue, Mom doesn't mean anything by it. I just feel that you and Wujie are about to establish a relationship. Once Wujie reaches the age, you will definitely get married."
“Wu Jie’s precious child has no family. It’s inevitable that people will gossip about him, calling him ‘marrying up’ or ‘a son-in-law.’ It’s annoying to hear those things.”
“Back then, you and your father had limited energy and couldn’t put much effort into this matter. Now that the Chu family is stable and thriving, you might as well investigate further. What if you find something? It could also give the child another family member.”
Chu Liyue gently stroked Xiao Wujie's face with her fingers, her eyes suddenly becoming deep and serene, making it difficult to fathom her thoughts...
