Rong Sinan squinted his eyes slightly and walked around the car towards Tang Yige, reaching out to hold her hand and give it a reassuring squeeze, then leading her towards the apartment building.
As Rong Sinan and Tang Yige entered the apartment building, Rong Zhengfeng and Li Li were each saying something to Rong Rui.
The little guy said something that made Rong Zhengfeng and Li Li burst into laughter.
The atmosphere was very relaxed and joyful.
Tang Yige’s slightly heavy heart settled a bit.
When Rong Sinan and Tang Yige came in, Li Li reached out to open the elevator door, and the group of five walked in.
The apartment was on the sixth floor, and in a few seconds, the elevator reached the floor.
Zhang Lan already knew that Rong Rui had been discharged, and when Tang Yige returned, she had another phone call with her.
Zhang Lan estimated the time, opened the door, and stood at the entrance waiting for them.
So when the elevator door opened, all five of them saw Zhang Lan standing at the door to welcome them.
"Aunt Zhang."
Rong Rui jumped out and hugged Zhang Lan’s leg.
"Oh, my dear little one."
Zhang Lan picked up Rong Rui, lovingly stroked his little head, and kissed it with a smile.
Then she went to the side and said to Rong Zhengfeng, "Old man, come on in."
Rong Zhengfeng chuckled, leaning on his cane, and entered with Li Li.
Zhang Lan followed with Rong Rui in her arms.
Tang Yige frowned, quickly took two steps forward, and stood at the door.
Zhang Lan put Rong Rui down, took out the slippers that were prepared early, placed them at the feet of Rong Zhengfeng and Li Li, and then put Rong Rui’s small slippers at his feet.
Rong Rui kicked off his shoes himself, slid into his slippers, and then hopped into the living room, bounced on the couch, and rolled around.
Rong Zhengfeng chuckled heartily, leaning on his cane, walked over, sat on the couch where Rong Rui was rolling around, his eyes forming into slits from his laughter.
Seeing Rong Rui’s lively little manner, the tension in Tang Yige’s nerves slowly eased.
She closed her eyes lightly and exhaled two breaths, then turned around to look at Rong Sinan, who was standing behind her, looking at her with concern.
Tang Yige curled her lips, reached out to hook Rong Sinan’s arm, "Looks like I really underestimated our Little Rui. When it comes to resilience, Little Rui is far stronger than I am."
Rong Sinan reached out to stroke Tang Yige’s face, "Are you okay?"
Tang Yige laughed and blinked at Rong Sinan, "If Little Rui can do it, as a mom, I can’t be too much worse." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Upon hearing this, some of the tension and concern in Rong Sinan’s eyes dissipated, and he smiled, taking her hand and leading her inside.
Meanwhile, Rong Rui, who was rolling around on the couch and heard Tang Yige and Rong Sinan’s conversation, sighed heavily in his heart.
Then he suddenly climbed up from the couch and went to cling to Rong Zhengfeng.
Rong Zhengfeng was happy to be clung to, and laughed heartily.
When Rong Sinan and Tang Yige came in and saw that, they couldn’t help but exchange a knowing smile.
...
Two days after Rong Rui was discharged, Jin Jumo gave birth to a healthy baby girl, reportedly looking just like a little Maitreya Buddha.
Rong Sinan took Yige and Rong Rui for a visit, but because Rong Mochen was afraid they’d stay too long and hinder his precious one’s rest...
Well, don’t misunderstand.
This precious one isn’t Little Jiu Jiu, but Jin Jumo...
Tang Yige hadn’t even exchanged a few words with Jin Jumo before some person started sulking.
Tang Yige was both angry and amused.
Originally she wanted to annoy him a bit, but nonetheless, a certain brother-adorer couldn’t bear for his little brother to be upset, and he ended up dragging her and Little Rui away.
They got in the car to go back to Jinxiu Huadu.
Rong Rui began to sigh, and it was the kind of incessant sighing.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Tang Yige looked at Rong Rui in the rearview mirror with confusion, "Little Rui, what’s the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Sigh..."
Rong Rui lay there, weakly squinting his big eyes at Tang Yige, "Sigh."
Tang Yige, "..."
Rong Sinan, "..."
"Sigh..."
Tang Yige’s mouth twitched, "Little Rui, are you hungry?"
"Sigh!!!"
Rong Rui heaved a heavy sigh.
Tang Yige bit her lip, confused.
What on earth is the little guy up to?
Rong Sinan lightly frowned, his lips slightly curving upwards, and looked at Rong Rui in the rearview mirror, "Son, if you don’t say what you want, your mom and I will probably never guess what you want. So, to save time, you might as well just tell me and your mom directly."
"..." Rong Rui closed his mouth and, looking quite serious, thought for a moment.
He felt what Rong Sinan said made a lot of sense!
So he sat up straight in his safety seat, his big dark eyes first glancing at Rong Sinan and then at Tang Yige, "Hanhan has two sisters now."
Tang Yige’s face froze slightly.
Rong Sinan narrowed his eyes, "So?"
"...I want a sister too! You guys make one for me!" Rong Rui said, quite directly.
Tang Yige was silent.
Rong Sinan glanced at Tang Yige from the corner of his eye, tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and looked at Rong Rui, saying, "Why do you want a sister?"
"Because my sister will definitely be beautiful!"
Rong Rui looked up confidently and said.
After all, he was so handsome, as his sister, it was absolutely impossible for her to be anything but beautiful!
If he had a sister, she would definitely be as pretty as Xixi, like a Barbie doll!
But...
"Mom."
Rong Rui suddenly nervously stared at Tang Yige.
Tang Yige raised an eyebrow and looked at Rong Rui through the rearview mirror, "Hmm?"
"Mom, can we discuss something?" Rong Rui said seriously.
"...What is it?" Tang Yige asked in confusion.
"Can you eat a little less when you’re pregnant with a sister?" Rong Rui said solemnly.
Tang Yige, "..."
It’s the first time she’s heard of someone asking a pregnant woman to eat less!
"Why?" Tang Yige asked in puzzlement.
Rong Rui shrugged his little shoulders, "...The little sister is even fatter than me!"
Rong Rui called Jiu Jiu, little sister! (Because Jiu Jiu hasn’t been named yet)
"Pfft..."
Tang Yige was amused by Rong Rui.
"Haha..."
Tang Yige laughed and grabbed Rong Sinan’s sleeve, "Brother, did I hear that right? Our little darling is finally admitting he’s chubby?"
Rong Rui, "..."
"Heh." Rong Sinan’s laughter was also gentle, lovingly looked at Tang Yige, "You probably didn’t hear wrong!"
"...You guys are so annoying!" Rong Rui puffed up his little chest, his angry face turned towards Rong Sinan and Tang Yige.
Which made Tang Yige laugh even more.
Rong Rui, "..."
Being laughed at like this by Tang Yige, Rong Rui suddenly forgot about wanting a sister, only to be left sulking!
"I’m going to lose weight!"
"Hahaha... I don’t believe it!"
Rong Rui, "..." (⊙﹏⊙) Maybe she’s not my real mom!
...
It’s been half a month since Rong Rui was discharged from the hospital.
New Year is just around the corner.
On this day.
Rong Sinan received a phone call from Fang Jingyi’s solitary residence landline.
Luo Peiling told Rong Sinan that Fang Jingyi had been sick for almost a month, not only not getting better but worsening, and urged Rong Sinan to come and see.
Moreover, Luo Peiling said she wanted to notify him early on, but Fang Jingyi firmly forbade her to make the call.
This time, seeing Fang Jingyi severely ill, she had no choice but to take matters into her own hands and call him without Fang Jingyi knowing.
Rong Sinan hung up the phone, sat in the apartment for a while, and then said a word to Tang Yige before heading out. freewebnøvel.com
Of course.
Rong Sinan naturally wouldn’t say he was going to see Fang Jingyi.
Not that he feared Tang Yige wouldn’t allow it, but he understood that she probably didn’t want to hear anything about his mother now.
Thus, he didn’t explain.
...
Rong Sinan, along with Ning Wenqing, arrived at Fang Jingyi’s solitary residence, walked to her bedroom door, and heard a series of painful coughs and Luo Peiling’s helpless voice from inside.
"Madam, why do you insist on doing this to yourself? You’re tormenting yourself, hurting yourself, who is really suffering?"
Rong Sinan paused for a moment. Without hearing Fang Jingyi’s voice, he and Ning Wenqing went inside.
They pushed aside the curtain separating the bedroom from the outer room and went in.
Only then did Rong Sinan see Fang Jingyi’s current condition.
In just over a month, Fang Jingyi had lost at least two sizes, her face pale, her hair loose and disheveled.
Due to the weight loss, her eye sockets had sunk, with heavy dark circles under her eyelids, and her lips were dry and cracked, with sores at the corners showing flesh and blood.
Rong Sinan clenched his hand, did not stop, walked over, and directly sat on the bed edge, holding one of Fang Jingyi’s hands.
Since Rong Sinan came in, Fang Jingyi had seen him.
But she thought it was an illusion...
Until her hand was tightly held, his palm’s warmth spreading, Fang Jingyi started to feel some sense of reality.
Fang Jingyi held her breath, slowly raised her head, and looked at Rong Sinan with an exhausted, silent gaze, her pale cracked lips moved twice, her voice hoarse unlike her own, "Sinan, is it you?"
Rong Sinan’s answer was to grip her hand even tighter.
Fang Jingyi dumbly looked down at her hand held by Rong Sinan’s, and a few seconds later, she suddenly burst into tears.
"..."
