Chapter 18: Dad Buys Him Medical Insurance (Three Chapters Combined)...
18
As soon as he finished speaking, all the employees were stunned.
Although the top boss was usually cold and authoritative, he was always ruthless and intimidating. They had never seen Bian Zong so furious before.
Why would he publicly reprimand a female celebrity like that? And all for the sake of a lowly employee like Wujiang?
The story is strangely touching.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, while Director Ma, who had just asked someone to pay the bill, silently changed his expression. Why was President Bian so angry?
This is an unspoken rule at their company's team-building events: whoever is involved pays first, so that the higher-ups don't have to worry about settling the bill. Besides, it's not like employees are actually paying for it; they'll eventually be reimbursed, it's just a little slower.
Would a man worth billions get angry over the cost of a meal?!
Director Ma was apprehensive.
But the man's striding figure left no explanation for anyone.
His sleek and upright figure swept past Xu Lanyi, whose smile froze on her lips.
Leaving Xu Lanyi to face Wujiang's employees, the awkwardness reached its peak.
Xu Lanyi had never been humiliated in public like this before.
From a young age, the Xu family was a wealthy clan, and everyone doted on her as the eldest daughter. When she entered the entertainment industry, her family's substantial financial resources continued to support her, and everyone in the industry treated her with utmost respect. After her work became popular, her fans worshipped and adored her like goddesses.
This was the first time Xu Lanyi had been treated like this, and it was by a man she had carefully chosen and whom she admired, the man she had foreseen to be her partner in happiness.
Bian Xun's tall figure disappeared directly behind the door, without giving her a second glance.
They actually chased after him like that!
After a moment of silence, the department leaders tried to smooth things over and warm up the atmosphere again, but it was still a bit awkward, and the mood for praising the female celebrity was gone.
However, Xu Lanyi was a woman who had seen a lot of things, and she quickly regained her composure.
Truly high-quality men are all difficult to deal with, let alone a top-tier man like Bian Xun.
Imagining Bian Xun as a father in the future, so generous, tender, and responsible... Xu Lanyi felt a long-lost sense of challenge and anticipation rise in her heart.
The more cold a man is in the beginning, the more contrasting and captivating his tenderness becomes after he opens his heart.
Looking at him now, who would have thought that Bian Xun would become such a good father in the future?
Then Xu Lanyi thought about it again and suddenly understood.
Ning Ye is currently taking care of the child, and she must have already spent a lot of money on Bian Xun. If she goes to pay for the meals, won't she eventually have to ask Bian Xun for it back?
That's why Bian Xun was angry.
During their meeting earlier today, Xu Lanyi could tell that Bian Xun, though he hadn't said it outright, was already thoroughly bothered by her.
The number that can trouble Bian Xun must be quite large.
This woman must be asking for an exorbitant amount; she's incredibly greedy.
Thinking of this, Xu Lanyi had completely regained her composure. With a slight smile, she gracefully added a bottle of wine to each of the employees' tables, putting it on her own tab, and quickly won everyone's favor again.
Although the process was somewhat embarrassing for her, the result was still the effect she wanted.
That's enough.
Ning Ye had no idea what happened after she left.
She was very pleased to be able to leave early, and ran off as soon as she stepped out the door.
Her purpose in staying tonight was to observe Xu Lanyi, and incidentally, to observe Bian Xun.
Xu Lanyi's behavior is no different from that in the original work. She is convinced that she has sold her daughter for personal gain, and her whole being is twisted with a desire for wealth. She is easily shattered and will ruthlessly extort Bian Xun if provoked.
Ning Ye was speechless.
Actually, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that even without her and her son's involvement, Xu Lanyi's storyline could have been completed by herself. It was simply a matter of how the radiant actress's vulnerability and the strength of a single mother could move a cold-hearted person with naturally distant blood ties.
Why insist on using them as a control group?
She won't steal the male lead.
After six years apart, Ning Ye's only remaining connection with Bian Xun is that they need to have a child in the future; otherwise, she will not interfere with Bian Xun's life.
After all, his wealth is the most enduring companionship.
Ning Ye jogged along, searching for the restaurant's checkout counter while fumbling for her black card in her pocket.
The restaurant's interior decoration was also an exquisite antique pavilion. There were many corridors outside the private rooms, and since their department had booked the entire place for the night, they hadn't seen any service staff even after walking around for a while.
Ning Ye took several wrong turns before finally spotting the front desk in the distance and quickly ran over.
Once you've paid the bill, you can slip away!
Tonight, she observed Bian Xun in order to prevent pregnancy via cyber contraception.
Bian Xun indeed doesn't drink, probably because the people here tonight aren't high-ranking enough for him to indulge in alcohol. Several department heads and managers toasted him, but Bian Xun only raised his glass lightly, while Assistant Zhang would clink glasses and drink briefly.
He retains many habits from his student days, such as looking down at his watch on the hour, rarely eating anything on the table, and only consuming healthy dishes that are less processed and closer to the original form of food, avoiding raw, cold, and spicy foods.
As expected, the obsessive-compulsive disorder patient's lifestyle was as strict as before, which put Ning Ye at ease. Looking at the subtly bulging chest and abdominal muscles under his shirt, with their smooth and taut muscle lines, it seemed that he had maintained his exercise habits as well.
Putting everything else aside, the quality of the child's father's sperm should be as outstanding as his other qualities.
That's a truly exceptional human being.
Ning Ye walked quickly to the front desk. "Hello, could you please print out the invoice for the company dinner upstairs?"
The meal expenses would be reimbursed by the company, but Ning Ye didn't have much savings to begin with, and she was really uneasy about losing so much money. So, she was quite used to swiping Bian Xun's card to pay the bill.
Of course, she had no intention of keeping Bian Xun's money.
She would pay with the black card, and then transfer the money to him after the company reimbursed her.
Ning Ye took the bill and checked the menu; they had probably spent about 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
“No problem, I’ll swipe my card.” Ning Ye nodded to the staff.
At the end of the corridor, footsteps finally caught up.
Bian Xun's face tightened as he chased after the three flights of stairs, finally catching up.
In the distance, the slender figure of a young girl leaned against the front desk and took out her card.
"A total of 67,988." After the receptionist finished speaking, she suddenly saw the president rushing towards her from a distance.
How strange, when this handsome guy came in, he was surrounded by several assistants and subordinates. He had a noble and composed demeanor, and every step he took seemed to tread on other people's hearts. He was so handsome that he didn't know what the world was.
Why is he running so fast right now, his jaw clenched, his eyes slightly red, making such a distraught appearance?
Waiter: Oh my god, he's even more handsome now.
The price of the POS machine had already been set, and Ning Ye smoothly attached the card.
The waitress couldn't help but look at the man rushing towards her from behind, as if she had been hit by a surge of intense hormones.
Would such a handsome guy work himself to the bone for anything in his life?
Ning Ye skillfully entered the password, and when she got to the last digit, a taut arm suddenly appeared around her waist.
Bian Xun grabbed her waist and pulled her to the side. Ning Ye almost spun into his arms. The familiar cool sandalwood scent enveloped her with a slightly disordered aura. She looked up and saw that the man's jawline was as tight as a knife.
At the last second, her fingertips narrowly missed the POS machine.
Beep, failed to brush.
A chill ran from the president's thin lips.
Even projects worth billions couldn't provide the sensory stimulation of this moment.
Adrenaline levels began to drop normally.
Bian Xun calmly held her hand, calmly took out his card, and calmly said, "It's on me."
"Private accounts, no invoices needed."
...
Ning Ye stood to the side, looking hesitant and surprised, watching the president pay the bill with a wave of his hand.
She could only quietly put away the black card in her hand that was exactly the same as his. Why was the heartless boss suddenly so generous?
This is the first time I've seen Bian Xun so eager to pay the bill.
However, sixty or seventy thousand is really not much to him.
After paying, Bian Xun slowly withdrew his hand, turned to the side, and coldly stared at Ning Ye with his dark eyes, gritting his teeth, "You just pay for things when someone asks you to?"
Ning Ye looked at him like he was crazy. "Why are you getting angry at me? She's your leading lady."
Bian Xun's dark eyes pressed down on her head. "Do you have money? Then pay for it in advance."
Ning Ye: "?"
Okay, okay, so you're looking down on her again.
She discovered that Bian Xun had become very sensitive to money.
He wouldn't have talked about money so much before.
It is clear that once a person becomes a capitalist, it is inevitable that they will become ruthless!
I really wanted to snatch that black card from his pocket too.
Bian Xun closed his eyes briefly. His dark eyes were cold and desolate. He had regained his rationality, but the sensation of holding her still lingered clearly in his arms.
…Her waist is even thinner than before; I wonder where all the food she eats goes.
She's so thin, she looks like a student. What could she possibly have to do with a child?
Bian Xun recalled the little girl who looked just like Ning Ye that she had encountered several times. Could she be a relative's child who was being cared for by her? That would explain all the children's products Ning Ye had bought over the years.
Bian Xun parted his thin lips slightly, "I saw it again—"
Before the words were finished, a small group of voices suddenly came from afar. Assistant Zhang from upstairs led the way, and Sister Zhou and Jiang Xing, worried about them, also came down to check.
Ning Ye immediately moved two or three steps away, creating a safe distance between herself and Bian Xun.
She didn't want to be seen entangled with the CEO, becoming the latest big scandal in the Wujiang Group.
Bian Xun's expression remained pale, though a slight displeasure flickered in his eyes.
He stopped talking.
When Sister Zhou saw President Bian and Ning Ye standing at the front desk from afar, her gaze had already switched to that of someone eyeing a badger in a melon patch.
Jiang Xing and Yi Dun, along with a few others, walked over together.
Everyone showered Bian Xun with compliments, while Ning Ye automatically stepped aside and quietly headed for the elevator.
Everyone planned to go back and rest in the evening, and soak in the hot springs.
But with President Bian here, everyone naturally assumed that the president should take the elevator back first.
Assistant Zhang held the elevator door open.
The aloof CEO walked in, turned around, and glanced around indifferently. "—Aren't you coming up?"
Embarrassed, everyone had no choice but to file in one by one.
The elevator doors closed.
For a moment, it was as quiet as a chicken's nest.
The president stood in the center, his exquisitely made robe just a hand's breadth away from everyone, his eyes half-closed, his powerful aura filling the sedan.
Ning Ye thought to herself, "This damn boss really can't read the room."
Sister Zhou has an awkwardness problem where she can't let the air be silent for more than three seconds. After the elevator started to go down, she began to talk about the dinner menu for tonight in a pretentious manner.
However, as soon as the words were spoken, everyone naturally remembered the big boss's outburst earlier. It was like he had touched on a sore spot. Sister Zhou's attempt to start went awry, and she almost lost her tongue.
Seeing that Sister Zhou's forehead was starting to sweat, Jiang Xinghe, who was always considerate of others, couldn't bear to watch. After thinking for a moment, he turned his head down to talk to Ning Ye, which naturally broke the tranquility in the sedan chair.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly praising Xiao Jiang as a truly gentle and kind man.
Only one person opened their eyes silently.
Bian Xun remained expressionless.
What are you saying?
And you have to speak so softly.
Jiang Xinghe asked in a low voice, "You... still need that medicine...?"
Someone's forehead twitched slightly. "?"
Jiang Xinghe didn't think Ning Ye buying medicine was anything shameful, so he asked Ning Ye a few questions in a low voice.
However, the word "medicine" touched a nerve with some people.
What medicine?
What medicines did Ning Ye buy?
Is it related to this person?
Trying to conceive?
Countless data points flashed rapidly through the young CEO's calm, machine-like mind.
But his strong self-control and mental fortitude prevented him from turning around to see which bastard it was.
Of course, he didn't think Ning Ye would try to conceive with anyone.
Why would anyone else have this possibility besides him?
Besides, who in their right mind would buy medicine one pill at a time? Those medications seem more like they're being prescribed haphazardly, like some kind of quantitative experiment. He's more inclined to believe it's a purposeful act for which he doesn't know the reason.
Why?
Is it related to that child?
Jiang Xing maintained social distance from Ning Ye while speaking with his head down, but he still couldn't help but catch a whiff of the faint fragrance in her hair, causing his breath to pause slightly.
During this time, Jiang Xinghe didn't actually ask Ning Ye what specific medicine she had been prescribed. He simply contacted the hospital in his hometown and asked them to sell it to her by the pill.
Jiang Xinghe secretly thought Ning Ye was facing some difficulties, perhaps the medicine was too expensive? After all, she was a single mother, her father was not around, and she was so young. How much pressure must she bear raising a child alone? So Jiang Xinghe really wanted to help her.
Ning Ye possesses a unique quality that sets her apart from others. She has the innocent and refreshing charm of a young girl, while also exuding the gentleness of a mother and a powerful maternal instinct.
These two qualities, rarely seen in people of the same age, blended so perfectly in her that Jiang Xing often found it hard to believe. In short, by the time he realized it, he was already deeply attracted.
Bian Xun remained expressionless, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing against his side.
After a long and arduous journey, the elevator finally reached the first floor. As soon as the president stepped out, Sister Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and called out to Ning Ye and the others, "Let's go for a soak in the hot spring and chat tonight."
A male voice responded, "Okay."
Bian Xun had already walked a few meters away, but he glanced at them subtly out of the corner of his eye. Ning Ye waved to everyone with a light smile.
When she looked up again, she saw Bian Xun giving her a cold, stern look with his dark eyes.
?ill.
Why are you glaring at her for no reason?
Ning Ye walked towards the hotel for no apparent reason, thinking to herself that she would buy some eye drops and splash them on him bowl by bowl later.
"?"
After Ning Ye left, the president raised his hand slightly, his expression inscrutable.
A moment later, Assistant Zhang behind him made a phone call to Director Ma.
…
Ning Ye returned to her hotel room, where Ning Zhitao and Zhang Sijie were both.
"Sister Song, I'm so sorry I'm late." Ning Ye took out a few creative ice creams from the ancient town from her bag, and the two little girls immediately cheered and started picking them up.
Song Hua smiled understandingly and said, "It's okay, you have work. Taking care of one child is the same as taking care of two, so they'll have company."
Ning Ye definitely couldn't trouble them again that night.
After the children had eaten a few bites of ice cream, Song Hua took Zhang Sijie's hand and said goodbye. Ning Ye also prepared to pack up and take the children to a hot spring to relax.
She had just finished packing her toiletries bag when she received a call from Director Ma.
"Xiao Ye, I'm really sorry about today. I asked a new employee like you to pay the bill in front of outsiders. President Bian was quite unhappy. I didn't think it through."
“So, all the staff have hotel hot spring vouchers, but that area is public. I’ve upgraded your room voucher to a private hot spring. Get some rest tonight.”
Without waiting for Ning Ye to refuse, Director Ma hung up the phone.
Ning Ye blinked.
To be fair, private hot springs are definitely much better than public ones.
She originally planned to take the children to the furthest, least crowded pool to avoid her colleagues, since the outdoor hot spring pool was dark and she couldn't see anyone anyway.
But if you go to a private hot spring, you won't have this worry.
Ning Ye would naturally not refuse if it could give herself and her child a better experience.
She checked the route to the hotel's private hot spring and led Ning Zhitao there.
The private hot springs are located in a small courtyard outside the hotel. After swiping your room card, a waiter will take you to the corresponding hot spring room. The overall style of the courtyard is wabi-sabi and austere. Walking through the looping corridor, wisps of steam rise from the wooden windows, which are the private hot springs.
Ning Ye led the child into the room. Both wooden doors led to the outside. Inside was a tatami room for changing and resting, while outside was a hot spring pool embedded in a stone slab. The warm water, carrying the scent of herbs, exuded a calming atmosphere.
Ning Ye changed into a simple black swimsuit and walked into the water with Tao Tao. The little girl's delicate skin felt the heat, and as soon as her chubby little feet dipped in, she splashed back up, then giggled and ran away barefoot.
"Mom, it's too hot!"
Ning Ye found it amusing and could only slowly sink into the water. As the warm water, infused with the aroma of herbs, enveloped her body, a lazy warmth spread through her, and the fatigue of the day slowly dissipated—it felt truly comfortable.
Ning Zhitao tried on the clothes several times, but was still afraid of getting too hot, so she changed into the coral fleece pajamas her mother had bought for her and wandered off to the tatami room to play by herself.
Ning Ye didn't stay in the water for long either.
Her black hair was damp with steam, clinging to her porcelain-white shoulders and arms. In just half an hour, her fair face was completely steamed into a peach-pink color, adding a rare and lush hue.
She wrapped herself in a bath towel and stepped out of the water. She pushed open the door, intending to ask the waiter to lower the water temperature so that Tao Tao could soak for a while. However, as soon as she opened the sliding wooden door, a cold and aloof figure stood in the doorway.
The man crossed his arms, his dark eyes narrowing. "Not going to soak anymore?"
The private hot spring room was warm, and Bian Xun's shirt sleeves were rolled up, revealing her well-defined and handsome forearm muscles. His gaze was cool, but it gradually warmed as it fell on the large area of skin beneath her towel.
Ning Ye was startled. Although she was wearing a swimsuit, it was just a crisscrossed halter top.
The thin black ribbons accentuated her snow-white skin, which seemed to be enveloped in heat, like cream that would melt at the slightest touch, exuding an almost unbearable fragrance.
Bian Xun crossed his arms, his voice still calm, "Is there someone else in your room?"
He gave her time to take a bath, and when he arrived, he could vaguely hear her talking to someone.
Bian Xun rose from his leaning position and took a step closer to her. A sense of oppression slowly descended upon him. The cool sandalwood scent and the warm medicinal fragrance emanating from her body intertwined, creating an ambiguous atmosphere that felt like a different world.
Beneath his cool, dark eyes lingered a hidden fire that had burned for years.
It must be admitted that after experiencing the trials of society and gaining power, the scholarly atmosphere of student days has been completely overshadowed by the aura of a mature man, and the alluring tension of the ex-boyfriend's appearance is even stronger than before.
Ning Ye calmly replied, "There are people here. I'm here."
Bian Xun took another step forward, half a leg stepping into the doorway.
There were indeed no men inside.
There are no children either.
Bian Xun lowered his long eyelashes, wanting to go further. The enchanting atmosphere filled the air with heat, and his Adam's apple seemed to bob.
Ning Ye suddenly realized, wait a minute, he wouldn't want to go back to his ex, would he?
Ning Ye immediately pushed him away, slammed the door shut, and looked very serious.
Today is not the child's birthday!
She wouldn't allow any accidents to happen. What if the original timeline was disrupted and the child created turned out to be someone else?
Ning Ye: A mother's love makes her strong!
Bian Xun: "?"
He was left outside the door. After a few seconds, he slowly walked out of the corridor and went to the window to get some fresh air.
After a long while, he slowly and fondled his fingertips, savoring the moment.
...
Ning Ye quickly dried herself off and returned to the inner lounge, only to find that her child was missing.
Tao Tao has disappeared somewhere.
Although the courtyard is not unsafe, there is water everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. If a child accidentally wanders in, and the water in one of the pools is too deep or too hot, there could be danger if the child falls in without noticing.
With that thought, Ning Ye didn't even bother to dry her hair completely before changing her clothes and heading outside to look for it.
Bian Xun stood by the window in the empty courtyard on the second floor, letting the breeze gradually calm his restlessness.
When Xu Lanyi arrived, she saw him looking like a cold, aloof pond.
The surroundings were warm and misty, yet they couldn't absorb the bright moonlight.
Xu Lanyi smiled slightly, took a few steps forward, and suddenly saw a little girl appear beside his legs.
There happened to be a hot drink vending machine in the corner where Bian Xun was, and the little girl was there to buy something.
Bian Xun looked down and saw another fluffy head, wearing a fleece jacket with ears, and two round, chubby faces that could be seen from above.
We met again.
This can't be a coincidence, can it?
The little girl stood next to him, seemingly unafraid of strangers. She pressed her face against the glass of the vending machine, strained her neck to look around, found what she wanted to buy, and then looked up.
Bian Xun looked down, and two round, shiny black grapes stared at him.
"?"
Ning Zhitao and her father looked at each other, and then she stretched out her chubby little hand and pointed to an item in the second row.
"I want this one!"
Bian Xun: "?"
The little girl had dimples on her cheeks, blinked her eyes, spoke in a soft, cute, and loud tone, and her attitude could almost be described as self-righteous.
Xu Lanyi, who was looking out from a few steps away, was first taken aback, and then almost burst out laughing.
What kind of upbringing would allow a child to ask for things so bluntly?
Bian Xun's current state clearly indicates that she is still quite unfamiliar with him. But this child is so entitled to ask for things? Now he only wants food and drink; what will he want later—a house and a car?
Like mother, like daughter; children naturally imitate their mothers.
Xu Lanyi couldn't help but chuckle, which demonstrated her superior ability to educate children.
From a young age, she would satisfy Zixun's material needs to the greatest extent possible, raising him in a wealthy manner so that he would never lack anything materially, thus preventing him from becoming dependent, envying others, or being ill-mannered in asking others for things.
Maybe that's how Ning Ye taught her daughter—look, this is your father, he should buy you things, just ask him for whatever you want.
Xu Lanyi sighed and shook her head. Such a good little girl, falling into the hands of some people who are not fit to be parents, will only grow up to be more and more crooked.
Over the years, Xu Lanyi has always felt that being a parent is the most important thing to test, only in this way can we select those who are truly capable of supporting and educating their children.
For example, her, and Bian Xun.
Bian Xun remained silent for a few seconds. Although he didn't understand why he wanted to buy it for her, he still reached out and pressed the number on the vending machine.
Before the button was even finished, the little girl stretched out her chubby little hand and made a peace sign: "Two bottles, please!"
Bian Xun: "?"
Xu Lanyi stepped forward at the opportune moment, smiling and bending slightly, "Little friend, would you like me to buy it for you?"
Ning Zhitao looked at the aunt with a puzzled expression and tilted her head.
Her father is her father, and he will buy her things, but how could she let a stranger buy things for her?
Bian Xun glanced at Xu Lanyi indifferently, selected the two bottles the child wanted, and scanned the code to pay.
He can afford anything at a normal price.
Two glass bottles rolled out from under the machine. The little girl caught them with starry eyes, hugged them tightly, and then skipped away.
They didn't even say thank you.
Xu Lanyi smiled.
What kind of mother could raise such a child? It seems she doesn't even need to do anything; the difference between her daughter Zixun and Ningye's is already obvious.
Bian Xun remained expressionless.
It feels strange, but I can't refuse it.
On the other side.
Ning Ye went through a lot of trouble to find the person.
Tao Tao wouldn't have gone to someone else's private hot spring; it's more likely she saw Zhang Sijie and the others playing together in the public pool.
She looked around at each pool, both indoors and outdoors, not caring about the temperature difference. When she finally saw Ning Zhitao holding two bottles of milk, her tone became a little anxious.
Where did you go?
Ning Ye grabbed her hand and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the child's palm was warm.
Fortunately, I didn't catch a cold.
When Ningye was little, her mother would give her a bath. Of course, there were no bathtubs back then, so her mother would fill an old red basin with hot water and put her in it. Since the water only reached her stomach, her mother would keep pouring hot water over her body and constantly reminding her that the most important thing after the bath was to avoid catching a cold.
Back then, there was no concept of hot springs, but the red bathtub and the warm water splashed on her body during her childhood were deeply imprinted in Ning Ye's memory, so much so that she still remembers not to be exposed to cold air after taking a bath.
Ning Zhitao was startled by her mother's tone. Her big eyes blinked twice under her long, curly eyelashes. "Mom, I'm going to buy milk. You used to drink milk with me every time you finished your hot spring bath."
Ning Ye paused, realizing that the child was talking about the future.
"Mommy, I bought two bottles. This chocolate one is for you." The little girl proudly held up the glass bottle, her grape-like eyes filled with a sweet and soft smile.
One glass jar of milk is quite heavy, and two jars would be very heavy for a four-year-old. Ning Zhitao held it tightly in her arms, her clothes in front of her belly were all wrinkled and rolled up, and the glass jar was hot to the touch.
Ning Ye realized that her tone was a bit too hasty, probably because the alternating hot and cold air had made her head feel a little dizzy.
Ning Ye squatted down, took the milk from the child's hand and put it aside, then said seriously, "Zhi Tao, we are outside now, not at home. If an adult is not with you, you cannot run to a place where I cannot see you, because if an emergency occurs, I may not be able to get there in time."
Ning Zhitao nodded obediently; her hands were still warm, but her mother's fingertips were already cold.
This made her a little sad.
She wrapped her little fist around Ning Ye's fingers, her face drooping. "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't run around. I only went over there because I saw Dad there."
"With Daddy here, Tao Tao is safe, right?"
Ning Ye was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on when she saw the milk.
Did your father buy this milk?
“Yes,” Ning Zhitao nodded, pouting, “but Dad didn’t seem too happy. Another aunt wanted to buy it for me, but in the end Dad still bought it for me.”
Ning Ye knew immediately that it was probably Xu Lanyi.
She suddenly felt a vague sense of unease.
It's not because Bian Xun and Xu Lanyi are together, but because Bian Xun is stingy even when buying milk for the child, right in front of the female lead.
Although he didn't know it was his child, Ning Ye could almost imagine Xu Lanyi's thoughts.
She must think her child is demanding and lacks manners, and can't compare to her son.
But what's wrong with the child asking his father to buy him a bottle of milk?
Strangely enough, Ning Ye didn't react much to Xu Lanyi's antics. But the thought of Xu Lanyi subtly mocking her child filled Ning Ye with intense resentment.
He even took his anger out on Bian Xun.
Can't you be a little more generous and give the child some face?
As expected, a stepmother often leads to a stepfather.
Ning Ye got up in a fit of anger, but the moment she stood up, she almost felt dizzy.
…
On the other side, Bian Xun was frowning in thought.
This child might really be a relative of Ning Ye's family, and having him taken care of by her side would explain all the children's products she bought before.
Xu Lanyi stood beside him and said softly in a tone of someone who had been through it all, "Children don't understand, adults should be more understanding."
“Raising a child requires time and love to nurture them, not just money. Unfortunately, some people don’t understand this.”
Xu Lanyi shook her head and sighed.
“Bian Xun, I did something wrong tonight. I shouldn’t have let Ning Ye pay the money in advance. That must have put so much pressure on her.”
Clearly, Ning Ye's desire for money has become distorted and has extended to her child.
"You must be in a difficult position too?" Xu Lanyi asked considerately.
Bian Xun looked up and suddenly saw Ning Ye's two colleagues hailing a taxi outside the hotel and telling the driver to go to XX Hospital.
He frowned, still unsure of the situation, but the bill had already been processed via his phone.
Just now.
Ning Ye spent ten million yuan at the hospital.
Bian Xun's dark eyes remained calm, but he suddenly couldn't be sure what was going on.
If it's ten thousand times, then it's probably just a routine checkup.
If it's a thousand times, that could be a bit serious.
If it were a hundred times, she probably wouldn't be doing too well right now.
If it were ten times the amount, Bian Xun would have already turned over, opened the car door, and rushed straight to the hospital.
"Bian Xun!" Xu Lanyi called out to him, but all that remained in the air was exhaust fumes.
The Maybach drove through the night on the outskirts of Beijing and soon came to a stop in front of XX Hospital.
He slammed the car door shut, asked at the information desk, found Ning Ye's ward, and heard her voice.
"It's nothing, don't worry about me."
"I caught a chill after taking a bath. The doctor said there's a flu virus going around, so they did a few more blood tests. It should be nothing serious."
Bian Xun stopped by the door and chuckled.
A gentle male voice came from inside the room, "We still can't be careless, we need to observe more closely."
Jiang Xinghe looked worried, his voice gentle and warm, "You paid so much for the meals today, is the money enough? You have to pay for everything at the suburban hospitals here, right? Where is your payment receipt? I'll pay it for you first."
Outside the door, Bian Xun curled his lips into a cold smile.
He already paid it, okay?
Why would I need another man?
Bian Xun raised his hand, about to kick open the door, when he heard Ning Ye give a weak laugh.
"It's okay, I paid 1,000, and medical insurance will reimburse 70% of it."
"The company provides medical care, and we can use the company account to cover 70% of the costs."
Ning Ye smiled shyly, "I'll just pay a few dozen yuan."
Bian Xun: "?"
Mr. Bian, who had spent ten million, pushed open the door and entered without expression.
"Mr. Bian?! What brings you here?" Sister Zhou exclaimed in surprise.
Bian Xun looked at Ning Ye with a blank expression.
I'll use it as her critical illness insurance.
