Chapter 753: Chapter 753: The Older, the More Fastidious
Zhixi blankly opened her eyes and saw Xiaobao lying by the bed, gazing at her with wide eyes.
Seeing her awake, the little guy was very happy, “Mommy, you’re awake!”
Zhixi’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked down to check her clothes, making sure she was properly dressed before she could breathe a sigh of relief.
She pinched her son’s cheek, “How did you get in here?”
“Daddy told me before he left that if you weren’t awake by nine o’clock, I should come and wake you up.” He giggled, “Mommy, it’s almost nine thirty! You love to sleep in.”
Zhixi’s face felt a little hot, “It’s not that mommy loves to sleep, it’s… it’s the little sister in mommy’s tummy that loves to sleep!”
Xiaobao looked as though he had an epiphany and reached out his little hand to touch her belly.
Zhixi caught his hand, unable to help but chuckle, “Right now, your sister is still small, you can’t feel anything… By the way, did daddy go to work?” Read full story at N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
“No, daddy left in a hurry this morning… He said…” The little guy scratched his head, puzzled, then hesitantly said, “He said grandpa is sick… Oh yes, grandpa, that’s daddy’s father.”
He was quite pleased with himself for figuring out the relationship.
Yesterday, Liu Minjun and Ziyi had rushed back because of He Yirong’s discomfort… Given that Jingyao was called back too, the illness must be serious.
Zhixi was slightly worried. Although He Yirong had never taken a liking to her, after all, he was Jingyao’s biological father.
Hopefully, he is alright…
Zhixi hugged her son, kissed his face, and said, “You go out first, mommy is going to change clothes, okay?”
Xiaobao obediently nodded his head and hopped out of the room.
After washing up and changing clothes, Zhixi left the room with her son in her arms, heading to the dining table.
During breakfast, she learned from Mr. Li that He Yirong had been taken to the hospital after a sudden serious illness during the night. Therefore, He Jingyao couldn’t wait for her to wake up and had gone back to Yanzhou City first thing in the morning.
“Don’t worry, the old master is out of danger now,” Mr. Li reassured, “The young master said he will be back by tomorrow night at the latest. If you miss him, you can call him at any time.”
Hearing Mr. Li relay He Jingyao’s words in an even tone, Zhixi felt her cheeks flush.
“Um, I got it,” she said and suddenly remembered some scenes from last night, which made her face even redder.
So, she quickly lowered her head to drink her milk as a cover.
After breakfast, Xiaobao went to play with his toys, and Zhixi sat beside him, suddenly feeling a bit bored…
Really, they had talked about living apart, yet she was already missing him after such a short time… She slapped her forehead, inwardly scolding herself.
However, as much as she said that, when the phone rang, she still ran to answer it quickly!
“Awake?” He Jingyao’s voice was low and contained a smile.
“Mmm…” She fought back the urge to giggle, “So, how is uncle doing?”
“He’s fine. The older he gets, the more capricious he becomes; a slight discomfort and he expects everyone to revolve around him,” He Jingyao teased lightly, “Stay home and wait for me, okay?”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you,” she responded with a smile.
The two of them exchanged many more pointless sweet nothings before reluctantly ending the conversation.
In Siming Hospital, He Jingyao hung up the phone, the smile still lingering on his lips.
The He Yirong lying in the hospital bed saw his expression and grumpily said, “Jingyao, come here and peel an apple for me!”
