Chapter 592: Called Li Shengxiao in a Hurry
To prove that she was not “seriously injured,” Rong Yan lifted her arm to show him how freely she could move it, “It’s just a little scratch, I’ll definitely be more careful next time, okay?”
Li Duidui was only initially shocked when he saw the bruise on Rong Yan’s arm, but once he overcame the feeling of the sky falling, and after Rong Yan explained it to him and showed him proof, he also noticed that Rong Yan’s injuries weren’t severe. His dejected mood eased ever so slightly, but his eyes were still moist, and he asked uneasily, “Is it really just a scratch from being careless at work?”
It was just a scratch from being careless at work, so why did he feel as if Little Demon Rong was acting guilty?
Rong Yan now truly feared his intuition and dared not tell him the truth, or else he might actually make a scene as if the sky were falling. She raised her hand, swearing against her conscience, “It really is just a scratch from being careless at work, if you don’t believe me you can ask Mrs. Estelle next time.”
She even brought up a ‘witness’, and Little Baby’s expression finally softened a bit. With tender concern, he held her arm and whispered, “Mom, you have to be careful next time, you can’t get hurt again!”
He touched Rong Yan’s arm gingerly, asking, “Does it still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” With the little one’s gentle touch on her arm, Rong Yan truly felt no discomfort.
Little Baby looked up, holding her hand with resolve, his small face solemn as he made a serious promise, “Mom, you don’t have to be so tough. I’ll earn money, I’ll earn lots and lots of money when I grow up a bit, so don’t worry! I will definitely protect you! And then, I’ll support Mom!”
—And then, I’ll support Mom! Earn lots and lots of money to support Mom!
Rong Yan’s heart instantly filled with warmth. The feeling of being uncared for when, at the hospital, she saw Rong Nanfeng and the others all rushing to Rong Mu, not even noticing her, was completely compensated for by Little Baby’s words.
She curved her lips into a smile, her eyes tender, stroked his little head and said, “Okay!”
Although Little Baby grudgingly believed that she was just a little hurt from ‘work’, he was still very worried. He insisted on reapplying medicine for her and repeatedly asked her if it hurt or not.
Only with Rong Yan’s cajoling was he finally tricked into falling asleep.
Looking at the little one’s sweet sleeping face, Rong Yan tucked him in properly and quietly left the room.
Only when she returned to the living room did she realize Gu Linxi had called her seven or eight times without being answered.
She hurriedly called back, “Hello?”
Before Xixi could even say her usual greeting, she heard Gu Linxi’s anxious voice, “Where are you? Why didn’t I see you at Dark Night?”
“I went back.” Rong Yan was puzzled, “After I called you, I took the person to the hospital and then went home.”
“You went home? This is bad.”
“What do you mean, ‘this is bad’?”
Gu Linxi said with frustration, “After receiving your call saying you had brought the person out, I thought you might have gone to the hospital. But after checking several hospitals and not finding you, I was really worried, so…”
Rong Yan felt a bad premonition rising inside her.
Gu Linxi continued with a hint of guilt, “So I called Mr. Li for help to find you.”
She had received a call from Rong Yan, but Rong Yan had been very hasty, telling her that everything was fine and she had safely brought Rong Mu out, and then there was no follow-up.
When she tried calling back, Rong Yan’s phone was busy.
