Xia Ye Zhao didnât want to hear it anymore, how could Ye Jun Qing know so much about her life? As a big brother, he couldnât bear it, because he himself was clueless. Xia Ye Zhaoâs tone was bad, his voice especially heavy: âI got it!â
âAlsoâ¦â
âBeep beep.â
Xia Ye Zhao hung up the call directly, not wanting to listen any further, out of jealousy.
But for his younger sisterâs sake, he couldnât ignore Ye Jun Qingâs âalsoâ. He opened WeChat, found Ye Jun Qing, and sent him a message: âTell me over WeChat.â
Xia Ye Zhao thought his ears were finally at peace, but little did he know, Ye Jun Qing sent him more than a dozen voice messages one after another.
Each voice message ended because it surpassed 60 seconds, so he had to stop and start another one to continue reminding him of things to note.
After listening, Xia Ye Zhao felt terrible.
He suddenly realized that he knew nothing about his little sister, while Ye Jun Qing seemed to know her so well it was as if the knowledge had seeped into his bones.
This didnât make sense!
Ye Xingguang had no idea that while she was out buying daily necessities, the second round of confrontation between Ye Jun Qing and Xia Ye Zhao had already come to a victorious end.
That night, Xia Ye Zhao did not order dinner at the cafeteria. Instead, he ordered a seafood feast to be delivered to the sick room, to help Ye Xingguang replenish her energy.
He was unable to find the VV brand painkiller mentioned by Ye Jun Qing at the pharmacy, felt embarrassed to specifically inquire about gynecology, after much deliberation, he entered the nephro-internal office once again.
Chang Danran was video calling with her son. A childish voice came from the phone: âMommy, Iâve finished my homework.â
When speaking to her son, Chang Danran was very gentle: âMommy has to work the night shift today, so she canât come home to be with you. You need to be good and listen to grandma.â
âOh, Iâm always good, always alone at home.â
The boyâs voice was filled with resentment.
Chang Danranâs eyes twitched slightly. Who had taught him the term âstaying alone at homeâ? It was totally inappropriate.
âMommy, Iâm feeling a little unwell again. But Iâll be strong, so you donât have to worry.â
His voice was strong yet eager for love.
Chang Danranâs heart jumped, âWhatâs wrong?â
Could it be a relapse of his old illness?
The little boyâs voice became more heart-wrenching, filled with stubbornness: âMommy, I donât want to take medicine anymore.â
âMommy is coming home right now.â
âNo, mommy, I might bite you. Just let me stay alone at home!!!â
Chang Danran couldnât keep still any longer. She quickly ended the call and asked her colleague who was preparing to go off duty to cover for her. Right as her colleague agreed, she noticed Xia Ye Zhao standing behind her at who knows what point.
Chang Danran was taken aback momentarily, then recovered her cold demeanor: âAre you here to inquire about the condition of the patient in bed 19?â
During the day, he had come to her for information about his future father-in-lawâs patient. She had fled at the time, and now, here he was again?
Xia Ye Zhao didnât answer but instead asked, his voice tinged with melancholy: âCanât believe you even have a son now after not seeing each other for five years.â
Chang Danran didnât know how long Xia Ye Zhao had been standing behind her or how much he had overheard, but his chilling voice made her heart skip a beat.
Her voice carried a complex tone: âWith the current aging population, it would be abnormal for someone my age not to have a child. Do you think everyone can afford the single tax that amounts to ten thousand a month like you?â
Xia Ye Zhaoâs eyes were deep and dark, âSo, you married Bo Jingyu?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
