After a long silence, Lu Mingji said slowly, "Okay, I won't go. You should rest for a few more days and don't worry about the company's affairs."

During the days that Xia Xi was in the hospital, Xu Yanfeng did not go anywhere and stayed with her in the hospital.
During this period, Guan He came twice. There were some important contracts that could not be delayed, so he brought them to Xu Yanfeng for signature and also brought his computer.
Xu Yanfeng held a video conference in the hospital ward. The executives present recognized him in the hospital and asked if he was feeling unwell. Xu Yanfeng explained lightly that a family member was in the hospital.
Xia Xi advised him to go back to work more than once, saying that she didn't need anyone to take care of her, that she could move around freely and could even be discharged from the hospital. However, Xu Yanfeng was worried and insisted that she stay for two more days.
He was like a prison guard, watching over her, a criminal.
The time she spends playing with her mobile phone is restricted, and meals are served on time three times a day according to nutritional ratios. She is not allowed to be picky about food, and her daily routine is adjusted to be comparable to that of an elderly person.
Even her own mother didn't discipline her so strictly.
Finally being able to be discharged from the hospital, Xia Xi felt like she was out of prison. Breathing the fresh air, she almost cried with joy.
Xia Xi didn't tell Su Jinru about his illness, for fear that she would worry too much and not be able to sleep.
This Saturday, Xia Xi found an excuse not to go to Su Jinru's house. Youyou was taken away by Xia Yue to spend the weekend, and Ziheng stayed with her at Xu Yanfeng's house.
Xu Yanfeng talked to Aunt Zhang and hoped that she would live at home in the future. In the past, he didn't like having outsiders living at home, so Aunt Zhang was responsible for regular cleaning and cooking.
After Xia Xi fell ill, Xu Yanfeng considered that if there were any emergencies in the future and he was not around, it would be easier to have an adult at home to take care of them.
Aunt Zhang had no reason to refuse since she could get twice as much money. She happily packed up her things and moved in.
In the morning, Xu Yanfeng finished some work in his study. He came out with his phone and found two people, one large and one small, in the sunken lounge area in the living room. "I'll go get those chestnut crisps you were talking about this morning. Anything else?"
Xia Xi raised his eyes from the book and said slowly, "That house is very far away."
Xu Yanfeng lowered his eyes and glanced at his phone: "I checked the navigation, it's okay."
"Forget it."
"Ziheng wants to eat, not ask you."
“…”
Ziheng was lying on the table doing his homework when he heard Xu Yanfeng mention his name. He looked up blankly and interrupted him: "I didn't say I wanted to eat, it was Mom who wanted to..." Noticing Xu Yanfeng's narrowed eyes, Ziheng pursed his lips and changed his words, "Yeah, I did want to eat."
Xia Xi was no longer polite: "Since you are going to buy it, why not bring some jujube flower crisps and mung bean cakes as well? I want to eat them."
Xu Yanfeng nodded, took the car keys, changed his shoes and went out.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. Perhaps Xu Yanfeng had left something behind. Xia Xi didn't understand why he didn't open the door himself.
Xia Xi put the bookmark into the book, put it on the table, stood up and opened the door.
A beautiful woman in luxurious clothes was standing outside the door. The moment she saw Xia Xi, she was stunned and suspected that she had walked into the wrong door. Her subconscious action was to check the house number.
Aunt Zhang, who heard the doorbell, walked from the kitchen to the entrance. Seeing the woman's face clearly, she asked in surprise, "Madam, why are you here?"
Xia Xi: “???”
Could this lady be...Xu Yanfeng's mother?
