Chapter 742: Discharged (1)

Su Nan leaned over and watched the little baby in Xi Xiaye’s arms as she reached out to carefully brush his faint brows, and looked up miserably at Xi Xiaye.

Xi Xiaye returned her gaze, then continued to look down and hold her son’s little hand as she chuckled. “Oh, you, just let the children go with the flow. It’s not fashionable to arrange for the betrothal of children anymore. When he grows up, Mu Yuchen and I won’t interfere in his relationship matters. We’ll let him go about it himself. If he fancies Xiao Xi, I won’t have any opinion on it either.”

“May your son not mind dating an older girl even though I myself mind it a little…” Su Nan muttered.

“Has Ruan Heng’s condition been better these few days?” Xi Xiaye asked.

When she mentioned that, Su Nan’s eyes immediately dimmed, and she sighed. “It’s still the same. He’s not awake, but his wounds have all pretty much healed. I don’t know when he’ll be waking up either. Every day, I just see him lying on the bed unmoving. It makes me really sad.”

Xi Xiaye held out a hand to hold Su Nan’s gently as she consoled her friend, “Nannan, don’t worry. Ruan Heng will definitely wake up. Just talk to him every day. He cares so much about you, and he loves you and Xiao Xi. He wouldn’t just abandon the two of you. Now that his external injuries have healed, he can immediately be discharged once he wakes you. You can’t be dispirited first.”

“I know. Aren’t I concerned now? Sigh, it’s fine. I’m feeling better too. No matter what, I’ll have to keep marching on. Right, I’ll be returning to work after the 10th, so please give me some encouragement!” Su Nan sighed deeply and lifted a hand to pat the back of Xi Xiaye’s hand, indicating for her to not worry.

“Go to work? Have you recovered already? Are you going to work so soon already?” Xi Xiaye looked a little worriedly at Su Nan who was getting thinner, she pondered for a bit, and then continued, “Nannan, how about you don’t work at that company anymore? I’ll ask Mu Yuchen to arrange for you to work in Glory World or you can work at Fuhua too. I’ll arrange a light job for you. That way, you’ll have more time to take care of your daughter and Ruan Heng.”

“There’s no need! Your companies aren’t doing fashion design, so I won’t be able to help even if I go over. Don’t worry. I’m fine. My dream is to be a new age successful career woman. I used to always rely on Ruan Heng, and my skills have deteriorated terribly. Now that I think about, I’ve actually been holding him back. He’s worked so hard. I should share his burden.”

Xi Xiaye nodded. “Mmm, wait till you’ve adapted, then we can start a studio. You have great talents in design, and I believe in you.”

“Mmm, when have I ever disappointed you? Right, I’ll leave now. I’ll come over to see you guys tomorrow. You take good care of yourself too. Being such a critical period now, don’t treat your health lightly.”

“I got it. You’re nagging me just like a housekeeper. Go home now.”

…

As she watched Su Nan’s figure vanish out of the doorway, Xi Xiaye glanced up and sighed slightly. She felt her son reaching out for her from her embrace. Gazing down at him, she saw that he was watching her with wide, brightened eyes while his pair of hands waved about. He was not easy to manage with all the fiddling.

Mu Zicheng rarely cried and always fell asleep after eating. Even the nurses praised that this baby was easy to manage as he would watch you quietly just like he was doing right now.

“Baby, you can go home with Father and Mother in another two days. Are you happy? Are you happy? Hmm?”

“Does he understand what you’re saying to him?”

Xi Xiaye just finished cooing when a familiar voice suddenly came from the door. She looked up to the source of the voice and saw Qi Lei leaning against the door with a bouquet of fresh flowers in his arms.

“It’s you?” Xi Xiaye stared in shock at Qi Lei by the door. “Everyone seemed to have returned to the office for work today. How do you have time to come?”

Qi Lei shrugged, lifting the flowers in his arms. “It’s not my company. The upper management has a meeting that has got nothing to do with me. I knew that you gave birth to a son, so I came over to visit. Can I come in?”

Xi Xiaye then looked away and to the chair beside her bed, before Qi Lei walked in.

He put the flowers on the bedside table, then immediately closed in to Xi Xiaye and looked at Mu Zicheng in Xi Xiaye’s embrace in awe as if he was discovering a new world. He looked very curious. “All newborn babies look the same. Which bastard told me he looked like a copy of Mu Yuchen? Wasn’t that just nonsense? Mmm? His eyes are quite bright! Come on. Uncle is a good person. Smile!” Qi Lei said as he reached out to pinch Mu Zicheng’s soft, cottony cheeks.

This pinch really brought it—

Waaaaa!

A loud and clear cry immediately exploded in the room!

This sudden wail shocked Qi Lei whose legs subconsciously felt weak suddenly. The nurses and Shen Wenna all rushed in from the door.

“Baby—”

“Why’s it crying?”

“Move away!”

Qi Lei was immediately shoved to the side. The nurse, Shen Wenna, and Xi Xiaye all quickly coaxed Mu Zicheng and his earth-shattering cries while Xi Xiaye frowned and glared at him. He could only move aside and keep quiet.

Meanwhile, on the inside, he cried to himself.

Bloody hell, this was truly Mu Yuchen’s seed, both father and son were Qi Lei’s bane!

Earlier, his fingertips had only grazed his cheeks lightly. He had not even pinched him, yet he cried like this. How wronged was he?!

Finally, they managed to coax the baby to sleep, and Shen Wenna and the nurse carried him back to the incubator.

“I didn’t do anything earlier. Your son is really quite…” Lei quickly explained.

“A child’s reaction is the most intuitive. If you didn’t do anything, he wouldn’t have cried. Have you finished all your work since you’re here? I heard from Mu Yuchen a few days ago that Qi Kai’s planning on putting in another person-in-charge for the South River project No. 1? What’s going on?” Xi Xiaye looked calmly at Qi Lei with her twinkling eyes.

“Didn’t Mu Yuchen tell you?” Qi Lei looked at her in surprise

“Tell me what? He hasn’t been telling me about work. By the time I recover, I’d probably be unfamiliar with the company’s business. But the work on South River has finally gotten right on track, so I hope there won’t be huge changes.”

“That’s the intentions of the higher-ups. They’re planning to move Gu Lingsha over to be in charge of the project with me.”

“What do you mean?” Xi Xiaye frowned.

“Well, I’m afraid Mu Yuchen would know better.” Qi Lei’s handsome flashed with a faint smile, yet his tone sounded cynical.
