"My mom and dad are still waiting for me..."
Xia Wenxi reached out and nudged Lin Shen's shoulder, signaling him that that was enough.
Lin Shen stopped, but did not let go of the person. Instead, he continued to hold the person in his arms and silently counted down ten seconds in his mind.
Xia Wenxi felt Lin Shen's hot breath spraying on her ear, which inevitably made her feel a little itchy. She wanted to reach out and scratch it, but she couldn't reach out her hand.
I could only gently poke his chest with my finger, but it seemed like I had poked something terrible.
She could clearly feel the person's breathing quicken considerably. Finding it quite amusing, Xia Wenxi, with the idea of "experimenting," gently poked again. This time, she realized exactly where she had poked and hurriedly withdrew her hand.
After counting down to ten, Lin Shen released her, but before doing so, he opened his mouth and gently bit her ear.
The person punishing her for her "troublemaking" was unaware of it.
But to call it biting is actually more like sipping.
When eating ice cream, Xia Wenxi doesn't like to bite it. She prefers to gently put it in her mouth with her lips without chewing, just enjoying the sweet ice cream melting in her mouth.
Xia Wenxi now felt like the ice cream in Lin Shen's mouth, about to melt.
Ke Shurong waited in the car for almost ten minutes before she saw her daughter run out of the hospital, her little face flushed.
They've all been through it all; look at their beaming smiles, what else don't they understand?
This isn't about losing something; it's about losing her lover.
Ke Shurong saw through her but didn't say anything. After her daughter sat down, she tidied her slightly messy hair from running over and said gently, "Auntie is making you some soup too. Studying is hard, you need to nourish yourself."
"Yes, I know, Mom."
Xia Wenxi noticed that besides herself, her mother, and the driver, there was only one other person in the car. Looking around through the window but not seeing anyone else, she asked in confusion, "Mom, where did Dad go? Isn't he coming home with us?"
Ke Shurong instructed the driver to drive off before explaining to her daughter, "Your father went to visit someone in the hospital again. You know this person too; he's the Mr. Tang we talked about the day we came back from the Wei family. He just came out of Xiao Shen's ward and ran into two acquaintances. Knowing that Mr. Tang was sick, your father went to visit him with them."
Some time had passed since then, and Xia Wenxi looked up and thought for a while before she remembered.
"That's Tang Feifei's father, the one who remarried and married his first love!"
"That's right!" Ke Shurong praised her daughter for her excellent summary, saying that she would definitely have no problem with the postgraduate entrance exam.
Xia Wenxi was embarrassed by the flattery, so she chuckled and changed the subject, "Did Dad go to visit me empty-handed? Last time I was hospitalized, my brother also ran into that acquaintance of the chief inpatient, and he even had Feng Yue go downstairs to buy flowers and a fruit basket."
She then thought of the fruit and flower shops near the hospital entrance; they really do generate revenue every day! Although it wasn't the same hospital twice, the situations were mostly similar.
"Hey, no." Ke Shurong snorted. "Your dad and Tang Wenhai aren't exactly close, so why would he go out of his way to buy flowers to visit him? Your dad probably just went along with the crowd, and who knows, he might even hear something interesting to tell you when he gets home."
Then Ke Shurong mysteriously told her daughter that Tang Wenhai's illness was not as simple as a common illness.
"I heard it from a few of my old friends, but I don't know if it's true or not. When your dad comes back, I'll have him talk to you about it."
"Okay, okay."
Xia Wenxi nodded excitedly.
After returning home, Xia Wenxi also enjoyed the black chicken soup that Aunt Li had lovingly prepared, and it was indeed even more delicious than she had imagined!
Around noon, she drank three bowls of soup to fill her stomach, but didn't eat much food. After lunch, she went to check on her sterilized baby. The baby seemed to have gotten used to the headgear and was sleeping soundly with its belly exposed, so Xia Wenxi didn't disturb it.
I went downstairs to my room and took a nap.
She wondered where her father had gone to seek medical advice, as he hadn't returned all afternoon. Xia Wenxi spent the entire afternoon studying in the study, filled with a thirst for gossip.
That evening, Xia Wenxi had just gone downstairs for dinner when she saw Xia Wensheng returning with his father. Only then did she realize that her father had gone to work halfway through visiting a patient.
"Dad, why are you still going to work today?"
Xia Hengyuan snorted and gestured with his chin, "Ask him."
Xia Wensheng, who was following behind, shrugged. "There are always some old fogies in the company who rely on their seniority. I can't handle them, so I have to seek help from outside."
Xia Wensheng is now the chairman, but not everyone respects him. There's nothing he can do; he has a lot to do today, and clients are waiting in his office. He doesn't have time to deal with them, so he simply called his father back home.
"Why get so angry about going to work? I go to work every day, what have I said?"
Xia Wenxi guessed a little why her father was unhappy, so she leaned closer to Xia Wensheng and told him about what happened that morning.
"It must have been you who bothered Dad. He was probably trying to find out what happened to President Tang!"
Xia Wenxi was right about this.
However, even if you guess right, it's not necessarily a good thing.
During dinner, the whole family listened to Xia Hengyuan tell a rather ambiguous piece of gossip, leaving them hanging on in suspense.
In short, Tang Wenhai was indeed sick, but not in a normal way; he was angered by someone.
Who angered him? It was his wife, his former true love, his first love, his white moonlight...
"I should have held on a little longer before calling you, but you can't blame me entirely. If I had called you, you could have held on a little longer too."
"Hmph! If it weren't for your phone call, Tang Wenhai would still be crying in someone's arms. He would have blurted out everything without you even asking him anything. But your phone call startled him, and he stopped talking and crying afterward."
Xia Hengyuan even acted out a scene for them, where Tang Wenhai was crying and saying, "Wasn't I good enough to her? How could she treat me like this!"
Then he was interrupted by a phone call from Xia Wensheng.
Xia Hengyuan felt that he couldn't go out for the next few days, otherwise he would be easily chased down by the other two people from today.
It turned out it really was his problem; Xia Wensheng shut up completely.
"I won't contact you next time. I'll try to tough it out on my own first, and then I'll contact you if I can't take it anymore."
"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. It must be something important. You're still young. If you can't make up your mind about something, you should still ask him for help."
Xia Hengyuan dared not say anything to his wife and obediently shut his mouth to eat.
"Xia Wenxi, I heard from Dad that Lin Shen is also hospitalized? When will he be discharged? Should I go visit him again?"
"No need, he'll be discharged this afternoon."
Xia Wenxi received a message from Lin Shen when she woke up in the afternoon, saying that she had been discharged from the hospital and would rest at home in the afternoon and could go to work tomorrow.
