The day after being discharged from the hospital, Meng Sheng went to the art museum, and the morning meeting continued until noon.
It was Jona who arranged for the lunchboxes to be delivered to the art museum.
The meeting didn't end until 2:30 p.m., and the follow-up work was settled one by one. Meng Sheng knew that this meeting was very exhausting, and everyone had to think quickly and come up with corresponding countermeasures and plans for each matter.
So when the meeting ended, Meng Sheng asked Qiao Na to order a cup of milk tea or coffee for everyone, and a small afternoon tea treat for them.
Around 5:30 p.m., Pei Sui drove to pick her up, and the two went to Deqing Affiliated Hospital together.
In the corridor outside the ward, I happened to run into Fu Chen, who was holding Miao Miao's hand.
As their eyes met and an eerie silence fell, Miao Miao broke free from Fu Chen's hand and ran to Meng Sheng, raising her pretty and adorable face.
Her voice was soft and sweet. "Aunt Meng, you're here! I missed you so much. I've already learned how to draw the little ducks and houses you taught me to draw last time. I've drawn so many. I'll show them to Aunt Meng later."
She was so excited that she danced around, she was so happy and overjoyed.
Looking into the little girl's bright eyes, Meng Sheng smiled gently and reached out to pat her head. "Really? Miao Miao is so great. Auntie will see if our Miao Miao has improved later."
Miao Miao's smile brightened even more after being praised, and her eyes sparkled.
She really likes Aunt Meng.
Unfortunately, her father said that Aunt Meng would not become her new mother, which made her sad for a long time, and she even threw a tantrum once.
She didn't understand anything about feelings or emotions. She thought that if she cried a little when she didn't want to get a shot or take medicine, or wanted to eat snacks, her father would soften and give in.
But Fu Chen's attitude on this matter was very firm.
When she throws a tantrum, I'll try to coax her at first, but later I'll just give her a stern look, scold her a few times, and then try to reason with her.
The next morning, Fu Chen took her to the cemetery to visit her biological mother.
After returning from the cemetery, Miao Miao returned to her usual well-behaved and sensible self. Her father had never hidden the fact that she was her biological mother from her. However, she was still young and had a vague understanding of the concept of "death," so she did not understand why her mother had become a star in the sky.
But at her age, she especially longs for maternal love, especially since everyone else has a mother, even Peppa Pig has one, and she wants a mother too.
Aunt Meng was very kind and gentle to her.
That day, her father talked to her a lot. Although she only half understood most of it, he made her understand a principle: Aunt Meng can only be Aunt Meng and cannot become her mother.
Hello, Uncle.
She greeted Pei Sui politely, her face beaming with a sweet smile.
Pei Sui paused, then nodded slightly. "Hello."
Meng Sheng looked up and unexpectedly met Fu Chen's gentle eyes. Since Fu Chen's thoughts were exposed last time, they hadn't seen each other for quite a while.
There was no embarrassment or evasiveness on her face, only a natural smile. "Long time no see, Professor Fu."
Fu Chen stared at her for two seconds, then slowly curved his lips into a smile. "Hmm, it's because I haven't seen you at the hospital in a long time. Have you been very busy at the art museum lately?"
As Meng Sheng walked forward, she said, "It's alright. I caught a cold from being caught in the rain a few days ago, and I didn't dare come to the hospital for fear of infecting my dad."
Are you feeling better now?
She joked, "Well, I wouldn't dare come to the hospital if I wasn't fully recovered."
"That's good."
Fu Chen glanced at Pei Sui and nodded indifferently, "Attorney Pei."
Pei Sui's expression was also somewhat indifferent. As former rivals in love, the two of them couldn't really create a friendly atmosphere. He didn't say anything, but nodded in response with a distant yet polite air before looking away.
After exchanging brief greetings in the corridor, Fu Chen called Miao Miao over, then said goodbye to them and prepared to lead Miao Miao back to her ward.
Miao Miao stood still, looking somewhat dejected, and said, "I haven't shown my painting to Aunt Meng yet."
Fu Chen smiled and reassured her, "No rush. Aunt Meng is going to have dinner with Grandpa Meng later, so we can't disturb her. It's just in time for us to have dinner soon too. We can go over and show it to your Aunt Meng later."
Upon hearing this, Miao Miao immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Aunt Meng hasn't visited Grandpa Meng in a long time. Grandpa Meng must miss her. They need to have a private chat."
Seeing that Meng Sheng looked well and in good spirits, Meng Chengli's heart, which had been in his throat for so many days, could finally be put back down.
But he didn't show it on his face, and even remembered to cover for his brother-in-law, showing his loyalty.
After all, Xu Fengyun told Sheng Sheng about her cold, even at the risk of being scolded by her.
He needs to act convincingly.
However, the worry in his expression seemed genuine. "You look a bit thinner. Have you been busy lately and not been eating properly?"
Meng Sheng knew he was pretending to be calm and unaware, and couldn't help but find it amusing. She played along, saying, "No, it's just that the weather is hot now, so my appetite isn't very good, and I don't eat much. I heard there are some good dishes tonight, so I'll definitely eat more."
Meng Chengli nodded, "That's right, eat more tonight."
