Chapter 861: Chapter 861: Being a Subordinate with Insight
She came from a medical background and knew all too well what his reactions to stomach pain meant—it meant that this man in his twenties already had the stomach of someone in their forties.
If he continued to disregard his condition, the state of his stomach would only get worse. She definitely didn’t want someone to die young and ascend to the heavens, leaving her to become a widow in other people’s eyes.
Rong Yan made up her mind and swiftly arranged for Gu Ming and their company, “Assistant Gu, could you help me take Qi Yue home?”
Gu Ming replied, “Yes, Miss Rong.”
Rong Yan then softened her voice and said to the anxious girl, “Qi Yue, go back and get some good sleep. I know you might not be able to fall asleep right now, but believe me, nothing is more important than your health. Only by taking care of yourself do you have the capital for revolution. You also need to look after yourself to figure a way through this difficulty. Even if you can’t fall asleep, try to force yourself to close your eyes; maybe you’ll fall asleep as you rest.”
When she was schemed against by Rong Weiwei and Old Madame Jiang and sent abroad penniless with Little Baby in her belly, she often suffered from insomnia, worrying about whether she could support herself, not to mention Little Baby.
At that time, she was so anxious that she began losing her hair every day. But then she came to a realization. She forced herself to sleep on time and got up to work and study when needed. After a period of adjustment, she gritted her teeth and endured through the hardest time—until Xixi’s request took her under the care of her friend Lin Xinbei. After that, things became a lot easier, and she successfully raised Little Baby to the age of five. Aside from the genetic disease from the Li family, Little Baby was just like any other normal child, not at all twisted or gloomy because of growing up in a single-parent family, instead even more sensible and polite than other children.
This was her proudest achievement to date!
It seemed Qi Yue took her words to heart, nodding with slightly reddened eyes, “Alright, I understand, Rong Yan. I’ll adjust as soon as possible.”
As much as she said this, the psychological pressure of suddenly shouldering an unfounded debt of ten million, as a young girl who came from the mountains, was enough to crush anyone.
Rong Yan knew that Qi Yue needed to find her own way out, and no one else could help her. So, she shifted her gaze and said, “Estelle, I’ll come over at two-thirty in the afternoon, can you take care of Li Duidui for me?”
“I want to be with mom!” The little boy immersed in the delicious strawberry cake, upon hearing he was going to be abandoned by Little Demon Rong, immediately perked up his ears and looked up.
Rong Yan’s heart melted at his adorableness. She pinched his cheek and said with a smile, “I’m just going to have a meal with your dad; I’ll be back soon. I’m not leaving for good.”
Li Duidui pouted, still unhappy about her leaving him for someone else. His crystal-clear eyes glanced unhappily at the man next to Rong Yan and then withdrew his gaze, dropping his head dejectedly and mumbling, “Then, I’ll wait at mom’s workplace for her to come back. I’ll listen to the pretty aunt and not trouble her. You have to come back quickly, okay?”
Rong Yan really didn’t want to leave anymore, rubbing his head, “Yes! Mommy will come back to find you very soon!”
Li Duidui, having received her promise, quickly shifted from his foul mood to the sunny Little Baby.
“Cough, cough.” Gu Ming coughed, very considerately suggesting, “Miss Qi Yue, let’s go, I’ll take you home first.”
