"I have no interest in knowing about the feuds and grudges of your wealthy world."
Yan Xinxin turned her head away indifferently.
"You may not want to know, but I’m determined to make sure you do."
"Xu Nuo is my half-brother; his mother used to be my dad’s secretary."
Mo Chuxi explained briefly, and Yan Xinxin, shocked at first, seemed to understand.
CEOs and their secretaries—it’s really easy for things to go wrong...
"My mom and his mom were once very good friends, but then she was betrayed by the husband she loved and her closest friend. No one could empathize with her feelings at the time."
Upon hearing Mo Chuxi’s next words, Yan Xinxin couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.
So, Xu Nuo’s mother and Lin Yuan’ai used to be close friends.
Betrayals truly are impossible to accept.
"When Xu Nuo turned eighteen, that woman left a note saying she wanted to atone for everything and then jumped off a building to commit suicide."
"She killed herself?"
Yan Xinxin turned her head in astonishment.
"She attempted suicide but failed. Afterward, she became mentally unstable and ended up in a psychiatric hospital."
Hearing this, Yan Xinxin didn’t know what to say.
Mo Chuxi lowered his deep gaze and looked at Yan Xinxin with utmost seriousness.
"So, Yan Xinxin, Xu Nuo approached you solely to provoke me. Don’t take it seriously."
As he said this, he turned around.
"Your classes for tomorrow are canceled. Stay in the hospital and rest obediently."
Mo Chuxi spoke as he walked out of the door.
Yan Xinxin slowly sat up, raising her hand to touch her belly.
Thinking of Chenxi made Yan Xinxin’s heart pound anxiously.
She must find out how the child was doing.
At dinner time, Ah Ding cheerfully brought in a pile of delicious food, including an expensive bird’s nest dessert for after the meal.
But Yan Xinxin had little appetite for any of it.
Little Yan Chenxi stayed with Yan Xinxin to eat dinner at the hospital, then left with Ah Ding.
Tomorrow, the little one had classes and needed to go to bed early.
Yan Xinxin remained alone in the hospital room.
The glittering city lights flickered in her view, and gazing at the moonlight, her thoughts began to drift.
Could it be you, returning to your mommy’s belly once more?
She touched her belly, then turned and walked out of the hospital room. Finding out where Chenxi’s child care hospital room was, Yan Xinxin headed there without hesitation.
She had already prepared herself for Ning Zitong’s wrath. After all, the injury happened while she was watching over Chenxi. But as she pushed open the hospital room door, she saw only little Chenxi lying quietly on the bed getting an IV infusion.
Noticing the IV bag was nearly empty, Yan Xinxin promptly turned off the IV tube and pressed the call button beside the bed.
Yan Xinxin raised her hand and gently touched the child’s little head.
His pale, bloodless face tugged painfully at her heart.
"I’m sorry. It was Sister Xinxin who didn’t hold onto you. When you’re better, Sister Xinxin will play with you again, okay?"
"Yan Xinxin! You still dare to come see Xixi!"
Ning Zitong’s angry voice suddenly came from the doorway, causing Yan Xinxin’s hand on Chenxi’s head to stop.
She lifted her head, seeing Ning Zitong storming angrily toward her, eyes blazing in fury that left Yan Xinxin momentarily dazed.
Why did it feel... why did this anger feel oddly familiar?
"Yan Xinxin, you’re truly something! You took Xixi out to stage a car crash for publicity. How could you be so malicious? Do you know how young Xixi is? You’re simply inhumane!"
Furious, Ning Zitong raised her hand abruptly and swung it toward Yan Xinxin’s face!
