Qiao Yuxian followed Qiao Yu back to the hospital.
At night, Qiao Yu stayed to keep watch, while Qiao Yuxian took Qiao Lech and Qiao Zhiang home.
Qiao Lech and Qiao Zhiang were both frightened, especially Qiao Zhiang, who cried for a long time. He was scared and blamed himself, not touching his dinner.
Qiao Lech also felt sorry for Chen Hui and didn’t eat anything at night.
They returned to the Qiao Family’s home around nine o’clock.
Qiao Yuxian asked them to take a bath, while she went to the kitchen and cooked some noodles for them.
The siblings had no appetite, but since Qiao Yuxian had worked hard to make it, they both ended up eating.
"Auntie is fine, after staying in the hospital for a while, she’ll be able to return home," Qiao Qiao Yuxian said.
The siblings didn’t say a word.
Qiao Yuxian patted Qiao Zhiang’s little head, "There’s no need to blame yourself, it’s not your fault. Dong Qian is the one at fault. Dad has already taught him a lesson."
"How did Dad teach him a lesson?" Qiao Zhiang’s voice was hoarse.
"Well..." Qiao Yuxian thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, Dong Qian certainly won’t dare to bully us again, and that chubby kid won’t dare to bully you either."
"Really?" Qiao Zhiang asked again.
"Of course." Qiao Yuxian looked at the siblings, "You don’t know how cool Dad looked today."
Both of them stared at her, blinking their big eyes, imagining how cool their dad looked today.
Qiao Yuxian looked at their identical expressions and smiled, saying, "He looked really cool. A towering figure."
"Will Dad get into trouble?" Qiao Lech asked with some concern.
"No." Qiao Yuxian said, "Everything is alright."
Qiao Yuxian looked at the time, it was past ten, "Time to sleep."
"Okay," Qiao Lech responded.
But Qiao Zhiang sat at the table without moving.
Qiao Yuxian and Qiao Lech both looked at him, "What’s wrong?"
Qiao Zhiang glanced at both of them, then pressed his lips without speaking.
Qiao Lech asked again, "What’s wrong?"
Qiao Zhiang lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, "I don’t want to sleep alone, I’m a bit scared."
Qiao Yuxian and Qiao Lech looked at him without making a sound.
Seeing their silence, Qiao Zhiang looked up at them awkwardly, "I, I’m still young, I should be able to sleep with you. I’ll just sleep for one night; I’m too scared, I’ll be fine tomorrow."
Qiao Yuxian and Qiao Lech exchanged a glance and both smiled.
Qiao Lech said, "Brush your teeth and come to my room."
Qiao Zhiang looked at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian raised an eyebrow, "What? You want to sleep with me?"
"Can’t we all sleep together?" Qiao Zhiang asked again, "After all, the bed is big."
"You sure have plenty of requests." Qiao Yuxian patted his head.
Qiao Lech also looked at her, pondering, "Sis, how about... together?"
Qiao Yuxian considered it and said, "Not impossible."
Qiao Zhiang grinned happily.
Qiao Lech also lowered her head, feeling pleased.
Qiao Yuxian looked at the siblings, pinched Qiao Zhiang’s chubby little face and said, "Finally willing to smile." For original chapters go to N0velFire.ɴet
Qiao Zhiang tugged at her clothes and shook them.
Qiao Yuxian said, "Go brush your teeth, I’ll find you after I freshen up."
"Okay," Qiao Lech replied.
Qiao Yuxian returned to her room, and before she freshened up, she called Liu Zhou, asking him to have someone secretly keep watch on the hospital and also send someone to the Qiao Family Villa to protect Qiao Lech and Qiao Zhiang.
Dong Qian acted recklessly, backed by Gu Linhai, and he had never suffered any losses before.
Having been beaten up this time, she worried he wouldn’t just let it go, and might scheme something behind the scenes.
You can never be too cautious...
The parents weren’t home, so the three siblings slept in one room.
Qiao Zhiang, initially very excited, fell asleep quickly.
Qiao Lech also had a tumultuous day, and after a brief chat with Qiao Yuxian, she fell asleep.
The siblings slept soundly all night, but Qiao Yuxian didn’t sleep much.
Moreover, it wasn’t just this night; she hadn’t been sleeping well for three nights, and the result was that her mood turned somewhat irritable.
Gu Yanjing visited the hospital on the second day after the incident with Chen Hui.
But since Chen Hui was seriously injured, he didn’t enter the ward, only chatted briefly with Qiao Yu outside. He brought along a doctor to thoroughly check on Chen Hui.
However, Qiao Yuxian was at home with Qiao Zhiang on that day, so although Gu Yanjing visited, he didn’t meet her.
The two of them last saw each other before the New Year’s Eve, on the twenty-eighth at the Sixth Hospital.
Qiao Yuxian suffered from insomnia and couldn’t sleep well, causing her mood to become more agitated, gradually losing control somewhat. So she took advantage of Shen Wenyan’s morning off to bring some cooked food to him.
