At this time, Fu Xuanmiao had just returned from the next ward to do nebulizer treatment. The large ward was empty except for her and her caregiver, Sister He.
As she approached the ward door, Ye Shuqiao felt that coming empty-handed might not be a good idea.
Fu Chen's daughter's illness was a bit unusual, and she hadn't looked into it in detail, so she didn't know what foods she could or couldn't eat.
So giving food as a gift is definitely not appropriate, so let's go with toys.
But it's not appropriate to buy it now. After thinking about it, she selected a super large Barbie doll dress-up toy on the mobile app, which would take about 27 minutes to arrive.
It took about half an hour.
She put away her phone, walked to the door, and knocked on the ward door with her finger.
Soon after, the nanny, Sister He, came to open the door. Ye Shuqiao didn't like Fu Xuanmiao very much, thinking that children were troublesome, but because she was Fu Chen's daughter, she had pretended to visit her at the hospital twice before.
So Sister He wasn't too unfamiliar with her, but she was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised and hesitant, "Miss Ye...?"
"Hello." Ye Shuqiao was unusually polite. "Is Miaomiao inside? It's been a long time since I've been here. I came to see her today. I bought a gift, but it's a bit big and I can't carry it easily. Someone will bring it over later."
Sister He let out a soft "Ah," somewhat stunned.
The two times Ye Shuqiao visited before, she wasn't so polite to her. She was extremely arrogant and acted like the hostess, ordering her around to serve tea and water.
She was a little unaccustomed to his sudden politeness and kind smile.
"Ah, oh, welcome, welcome..."
She quickly came to her senses, but for a moment she didn't know what to say, so she just smiled awkwardly and quietly moved to the edge of the bed to get closer to Miaomiao.
Fearing some unexpected situation might arise, she didn't have time to think about it.
She knew that Ye Shuqiao was Fu Chen's blind date and that they were very likely to get married, so she basically gave in to Ye Shuqiao's bossy attitude.
Now that Ye Shuqiao has suddenly arrived, she's a little unsure about the situation between Miss Ye and Mr. Ye.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Ye Shuqiao didn't feel embarrassed. She felt that Sister He was just a servant and there was no need to care too much about her feelings and opinions.
Seeing that she didn't speak, he was a little dissatisfied, but he still smiled and asked again, "Where's Miaomiao? Is she inside? How is she feeling? Is she any better?"
"Hmm... Miaomiao is doing atomization inside, five minutes left..."
Before Sister He could finish speaking, Ye Shuqiao had already walked in on her own.
Miao Miao was leaning against the pillow, the fogging mask covering almost her entire face, leaving only her round, clear eyes visible, and she was holding a picture book in her hand.
The little one sat there quietly, turning the pages of the book without making a fuss.
Ye Shuqiao stood at the door of the room watching this scene, and suddenly felt that... having a daughter like this is not bad at all.
If she gets married and doesn't want to have children in the future, she can get a daughter for free. And after getting to know her so many times, this little girl seems quite well-behaved and doesn't cause any trouble.
Tsk!
She couldn't understand why she had disliked Fu Xuanmiao so much and minded her existence in the past.
Painless pregnancy, plus the little girl can help her relationship with Fu Chen – why not?
A rare, gentle smile appeared on her face. "Miaomiao."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuanmiao looked up at the door. When she saw Ye Shuqiao, she blinked, not recognizing her for a moment.
When Ye Shuqiao approached with a smile, she remembered and called out softly, "Aunt Ye."
However, because she was wearing a mask, her voice was very soft, so soft that Ye Shuqiao couldn't hear it, let alone see her move her mouth.
Seeing that she was staring at her without greeting her, Ye Shuqiao didn't take it to heart. Feeling magnanimous, she felt that she could tolerate everything about this little girl.
Ultimately, her attitude towards Fu Xuanmiao wasn't exactly good, especially when Fu Chen wasn't around. She never gave Fu Xuanmiao a friendly look, finding her a real nuisance.
She pulled up a chair and sat down, calmly trying to save face. "Is it inconvenient for you to talk? That's okay, then I won't say anything. Auntie will wait until you finish your nebulizer treatment. What are you looking at? Oh, a picture book? You like this? Hmm... How about Auntie asks a friend to bring you a set of these picture books from abroad tomorrow?"
She knew that Miao Miao had lived abroad before and could communicate in English, and she spoke it very fluently.
Ye Shuqiao was so enthusiastic that the nanny, Sister He, and Fu Xuanmiao were somewhat taken aback.
A few minutes later, Fu Xuanmiao took off her mask and politely called out "Aunt Ye" again.
Ye Shuqiao smiled and agreed, then asked, "Miaomiao, what would you like to eat tonight? Auntie will have someone bring it over for you?"
As she spoke, she looked at Sister He and asked, "Does Miaomiao have any dietary restrictions?"
Sister He smiled awkwardly, "Um... Miss Ye, thank you for your kindness, but Miao Miao's meals are all taken care of by a special person. Each meal is a fixed amount, and the selection of food ingredients also needs to be strictly controlled. This is something Mr. Fu specifically instructed."
"Oh, I see."
Ye Shuqiao nodded in realization, then reached out and pinched Miaomiao's fair and tender cheek with regret.
With a kind and gentle smile, she tried her best to spread her friendliness, "Then I can't buy you anything to eat. Get well soon, and next time Auntie will take you shopping and buy you pretty clothes, hair clips, and toys."
