Chapter 214 Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you couldn’t eat?
As soon as I reached the stairs, I met An Yuening who had just come upstairs.
An Yuening looked tired and yawned lazily.
She stopped when she saw the two of them.
The whole person leaned against the wall.
"When will you be done? I'm almost exhausted."
"In the morning."
Xu Jialan looked at her with a frown, afraid that her legs would go weak and she would roll down the stairs in the next second.
"Why don't you go catch up on some sleep first? Do you need to come to the hospital anymore?"
An Yuening waved her hands, she was so tired that she could hardly speak.
"I'm going to take a shower, change my clothes and go downstairs. My parents asked the kitchen to prepare food and they will come down to eat later."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jialan reacted.
I didn't finish my New Year's Eve dinner last night...
She nodded and said, "Then go take a shower first. Be careful. I'll go down and take a look."
An Yuening waved weakly at the two of them and went upstairs.
…
downstairs.
Shen Yankai hasn't come back yet.
After he sent An Yuening back, he left in a hurry.
It seems that there is an urgent matter at the company that needs him to deal with.
The head of the Shen family did not leave the house, but went to the study.
Mrs. Shen sat on the sofa, holding her mobile phone, frowning, not knowing what message she was looking at.
He didn't even notice that Shen Xichuan and Xu Jialan had come to him.
Shen Xichuan's expression didn't seem to change.
Xu Jialan didn't know what was going on and subconsciously looked at the man next to him.
Shen Xichuan pinched her fingertips and said nothing.
At this time, Mrs. Shen also noticed that they had come down, so she put away her phone and smiled gently.
"Are you awake? The food is almost ready in the kitchen. We can eat when Ningning comes down."
Xu Jialan nodded, "Okay."
Since Shen Xichuan didn’t say much, she didn’t ask more at this time.
What I was thinking was that I would find a chance to ask him after dinner.
Half an hour later.
An Yuening packed herself up and went downstairs.
Maybe she gave instructions before going upstairs.
Not long after she came down, the servant brought her a cup of coffee.
"You don't have to go to the hospital later, right? Why don't you drink coffee now?"
Xu Jialan suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen also looked over, "Yes, Ningning, after you finish your meal, go upstairs and have a rest, so don't drink coffee."
Hearing this, An Yuening paused for a few seconds and said, "Yeah, okay then."
She put down her coffee.
Madam Shen asked the servant to take away the cup of coffee, and then asked someone to bring three cups of calming flower tea.
It was placed right in front of the three of them.
Mrs. Shen said seriously, “You three should drink this cup of flower tea quickly, and go upstairs to have a good rest after dinner, understand?”
"I know, Mom."
Xu Jialan and An Yuening obediently picked up the flower tea and drank it.
Shen Xichuan frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything and still drank the flower tea.
Not long after, the head of the Shen family came downstairs.
Mrs. Shen asked people to prepare dinner.
They had just sat down.
Shen Yankai finally rushed back.
Looks quite busy.
There was a hint of coldness between his brows.
Don't know what happened.
Xu Jialan looked at it twice more out of curiosity.
She looked at An Yuening beside her.
My best friend and sister-in-law also shook her head, not knowing what was going on.
The belated New Year’s Eve dinner was finally made up.
The family finished the meal in a warm atmosphere.
Xu Jialan ate too much.
The main reason was that he couldn't resist Mrs. Shen's feeding.
She felt embarrassed not to eat, so she ate it all obediently.
When Shen Xichuan saw her lightly pressing her stomach and her eyebrows twitching slightly, he knew that she was full.
He held her hand and whispered, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you couldn't eat?"
Xu Jialan said innocently, "I'm afraid Mom will be unhappy."
What was supposed to be a wonderful New Year's Eve dinner was disrupted by a sudden accident.
Mrs. Shen is not only worried, she must be disappointed.
It's rare for a family to get together for a reunion dinner.
But it failed again.
She understands this feeling.
Therefore, she didn’t want Mrs. Shen to be disappointed.
I would rather eat more myself, hoping that she will be happier.
Shen Xichuan said nothing and shook her hand tightly.
After leaving the restaurant, Shen Xichuan stood at the stairs and touched Xu Jialan’s head, “I have something to talk to Dad and the others about for a while, you go upstairs first, I will be back soon.”
Xu Jialan glanced over there, pursed his lips, and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
The man touched her face, raised the corner of his mouth, hummed, and let go of her hand.
"Go ahead."
Xu Jialan and An Yuening went upstairs together and returned to their rooms.
It was already the limit for An Yuening to be able to hold on until the end of the meal without falling asleep.
She just signaled to Xu Jialan with her eyes and went back to her room.
Just as Xu Jialan walked to the bed and sat down, he heard a knock on the door.
She thought Shen Xichuan had returned.
He quickly walked to the door and opened it.
Unexpectedly, there was a servant standing at the door, holding a tray with a crystal teapot and crystal cups on it.
Xu Jialan couldn't tell what was in the teapot.
When she saw the servant, she was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"
The servant said respectfully, "Second Madam, this is the hawthorn tea that the Second Young Master asked me to prepare for you."
Xu Jialan looked at the things on the tray and replied in a daze, "Okay, I understand."
She took the tray handed to her by the servant and returned to her room.
Hawthorn tea helps digestion and strengthens the stomach, and has a slightly sour taste with a hint of sweetness.
She took a few sips, and the corners of her mouth curved up involuntarily.
The discomfort in my stomach gradually dissipated.
The teapot wasn't big, and she felt like half of it was gone after just a few sips.
She was stunned for a moment and put down the cup.
Shen Xichuan hasn’t come back yet.
Xu Jialan looked towards the bedroom door.
The door remained closed.
She thought of the look on Mrs. Shen's face when she went downstairs just now, and how the head of the Shen family and Shen Yankai were busy and nowhere to be seen before dinner, and her heart sank.
After thinking about it, she got up, took her phone, and sent a message to Shen Xichuan.
"Are you okay? When will you be back?"
Shen Xichuan never replied.
She sat by the bed, frowning and waiting.
Perhaps the food in her stomach had been digested, and she felt sleepy again.
From sitting and waiting at first, to slowly leaning back on the pillow'.
I don't know when my eyes closed.
The palm is facing up, with a mobile phone on it.
I don’t know how long it took.
Xu Jialan felt a familiar breath enveloping her from behind.
She moaned, slowly woke up, opened her eyes and looked around.
"You're back?"
Shen Xichuan buried his chin in the crook of her shoulder and hummed softly.
"Did it wake you?"
