Shang Xian sat quietly to the side and began to drink her porridge, while Ning Beiyao was working.
She glanced at Ning Beiyao intently.
They were good-looking, but with those two prodigies, Shen Yi and Li Ci, around, she wasn't really that interested in handsome men anymore.
Shang Xian withdrew her gaze, and for a moment the only sound in the office was the scratching of Ning Beiyao's pen on paper.
I felt sleepy after eating, so I simply curled up on the sofa.
He had just lain down when Ning Beiyao dragged him up again: "Get up and drink your medicine."
He almost fell for this little girl's trick again. Sleeping off means you don't need to take medicine? Dream on!
Shang Xian took a deep breath and drank all the brown Chinese medicine.
She had just swallowed it when she covered her mouth and hurriedly ran to the bathroom on the left.
This medicine is disgusting; it's just like the "lime water" medicine she drank as a child to treat diarrhea.
My stomach was churning, but I just couldn't vomit anything.
At this moment, her already pale face became even paler, which was a bit frightening.
It made her want to cry...
She never cries in any emotional situation, but when she gets sick, whether it's a cold or a fever, she feels particularly wronged. Only when she's sick can she cry without thinking.
She squatted on the ground, hugging herself pitifully.
Ning Beiyao had no idea that she would react this way after taking the medicine. Was this always the case before?
He didn't know.
Ning Beiyao squatted down and picked her up, only to see tears dripping down her cheeks onto her own sleeve.
"No more drinking, no more drinking, don't cry." Ning Beiyao was at a loss for what to do. He knew that Ji Yi was young and needed to be pampered. This was the first time he had seen her cry in a year, so he was naturally flustered.
The phone rang. Ning Beiyao pulled Shang Xian into his arms, reached for the phone, and saw it was his mother.
As soon as the call was answered, Ning's mother's cheerful voice came from the other end: "Son, did you bring A-Yi to the company today?"
Ning Beiyao patted Shang Xian's back gently and replied with an "Mmm" to his mother.
"Quick, quick, let my daughter-in-law answer the phone! I haven't seen her in so long, I miss her terribly!"
He glanced at Shang Xian: "She..."
Shang Xian sniffed and squatted on the ground, looking extremely pitiful.
Upon hearing the sound, Ning's mother immediately asked, "Is A-Yi crying?"
Did you make her cry?
"Oh dear, what a terrible thing! Ayi isn't feeling well, and you don't even care? Look at yourself, how can you be so shameless!"
"Don't make your mother sick with anger."
Once Ning's mother started talking, she couldn't stop, and Ning Beiyao listened to her without arguing back.
Shang Xian reached out and took the phone from his hand, calling out in a hoarse voice, "Mom."
"My dear daughter-in-law, don't let that brat upset you. If he's not good, he is. Don't get angry; it'll hurt your health. I'll give him a good beating when I get back!"
Shang Xian chuckled: "It's not his fault, the medicine just tastes awful."
"Ah Yi, your health is the most important thing. Whether you take the medicine or not is fine, as long as your body can handle it," Ning's mother said earnestly.
"Okay, I understand." Shang Xian had a good impression of this interesting old lady.
"You must take good care of yourself. We can't let those bitches from the Ji family take away what's yours," Ning's mother said angrily.
Shang Xian was taken aback and asked, "The Ji family? They took my things?"
Why can't I understand this?
Is there some other hidden story?
Ning's mother coughed and immediately changed the subject: "Take good care of yourself. I'm not in a hurry to have grandchildren. Mom knows you're still young, only twenty-two. You must take good care of yourself, you must remember that."
After saying that, Ning's mother hung up the phone, and Shang Xian stared blankly at the phone.
