…
It was the 4th day of the first calendar month, and it was a rare sunny day in the capital city with no trace of haze .
Xuxu woke up early . During breakfast, she threw up everything as usual .
Seeing her present state, Mu Li felt excited and yet sorry for her . As she gently patted Xuxu's back, she looked at Yan Weihong and said, "Weihong, let's bring Xuxu to the hospital for a checkup . "
Xuxu shook her head . "It's alright . I can go there myself . Second Uncle has yet to make a full recovery, so don't torment him . "
Anyway, there really was a need to visit the hospital for a checkup . Regardless if it's a yes or a no, she'll decide on which step she should take after the results are out .
Mu Li said, "Then let me go with you . "
A voice suddenly came from the outside . "I'll go with both of you . "
Yan Rusheng was wearing a set of grey and white home lounge wear . He had been running a fever two nights in a row, and he seemed to have lost weight .
He had barely finished his sentence when Mu Li shot him a nasty glare . "You stay out of this . It's none of your business . You haven't even recovered from your flu . "
She turned back and looked at Xuxu again with a smile . There was a stark difference in her attitude towards Yan Rusheng . "Xuxu, it's settled . We'll go together . "
Without waiting for Xuxu to respond, she immediately stood up and went outside . She shouted as she walked . "Old Liu, drive the car out and bring us to City Women and Children's Hospital . "
Xuxu looked at Mu Li's back view and wanted to call out to her, but alas, her vomiting episode had sucked the strength out of her body .
Seeing her so insistent, she let her have her way .
All parents think alike . As long as one wasn't wicked beyond redemption, they would long to see a reconciliation rather than a separation .
But she felt grateful that Aunt Mu Li didn't try to persuade her, which meant that they had given her the personal space she needed to make her own decision .
Xuxu went upstairs to change and decided to carry a bigger bag today . When she went down, Mu Li was already ready and waiting in the living room .
Yan Rusheng stood next to Mu Li .
When she saw Xuxu coming down, Mu Li smiled and went forward . "After the checkup at the hospital, let's go shopping . Since your dad became ill, I haven't had the chance to shop upon my return to the country . I haven't even bought any New Year presents for both of you . "
"I don't need anything, so don't have to buy . "
The two of them walked as they talked .
Xuxu deliberately walked past Yan Rusheng . She spoke softly when she passed him . "I'll wait for you at the entrance of the Civil Administration Office this afternoon . "
She didn't stop in her tracks and only slowed down her steps for a little bit .
"Xuxu . " Yan Rusheng turned and tried to grab hold of Xuxu . But she happened to pick up speed just in time . He failed to grab her .
Seeing her so determined, his heart sank to the bottom of the pit .
"Third sister-in-law . "
Xuxu had just stepped out of the door when Su Yue suddenly came running over .
The little lass was dressed in a newly bought red color down-filled garment . Her naturally curled locks were tied up into a bun . It made her look even more dainty and cute .
She excitedly ran towards Xuxu and held on to her hand . "Brother said that my nephew is in your tummy . I want to go with you too . "
She stretched out her hand . She gingerly and affectionately massaged Xuxu's stomach .
Xuxu looked at her innocent-looking face and smiled, but didn't say a word .
But deep inside, she gnashed her teeth . That damn Su Yan!
He had the nerve to say that he was not one to tell tales or betray his friends . He's an ultimate liar!
"Third sister-in-law, let's go . " Su Yue happily held Xuxu and went down the stairs .
After taking a few steps, she turned her head back and winked at Yan Rusheng .
