Chapter 644 - 647: What's the hurry? No one said you can't eat!

She woke up alone in the bedroom, freshened up, changed clothes, and went downstairs.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Downstairs, Chi Yu, Chi Zhan, and Chi Qing had already arrived at some point, and Yue Yaer was there as well.

Xiao Shumiao was nestled next to Gu Junzhu, his big curious eyes examining these unfamiliar faces.

Lingyue sat beside Xiao Shumiao, straight-backed despite his young age, solemn-faced but extraordinarily handsome like a well-carved golden boy. His good looks, however, made the scar near his eye seem all the more glaring.

The sight made Ye Xingbei’s heart clench in pain, and she quickly looked away.

Upon hearing her footsteps, Xiao Shumiao sprang to his feet and threw himself into her arms, saying, “Mom, mom, Aunt Yaer is going to treat Aunt Qingqing!”

Ye Xingbei hugged Xiao Shumiao and turned excitedly to Chi Yu and Chi Zhan, asking, “Is the medication ready?”

With palpable excitement, Chi Zhan replied first, “Yes, it’s ready.”

Then Ye Xingbei looked at Chi Qing: “Has the treatment already started?”

Chi Yu replied, “Doctor Yue has already instructed someone to prepare the medication.”

Holding Xiao Shumiao’s hand, Ye Xingbei sat down beside Gu Junzhu, looking concerned. “Have they caught Shi Muqiao?”

Chi Yu pursed his lips and shook his head, “No, not yet.”

Chi Zhan angrily said, “We will catch him sooner or later!”

Ye Xingbei nodded.

She hoped Gu Junzhu was right. That it was those who bullied Chi Qing, not Shi Muqiao, who would provoke her the most.

Gu Junzhu clutched Ye Xingbei’s hand, “How are you feeling?”

Ye Xingbei flashed him a bright smile, “I had a good sleep, and now I feel refreshed.”

Gu Junzhu squeezed her fingers a little, “The medication will take some time to be prepared. Let’s have something to eat.”

“Okay.” Ye Xingbei asked, “Have you eaten?”

Gu Junzhu replied, “Yes, I have.”

“I’ve eaten too,” Xiao Shumiao raised his hand, blinking his big eyes, “But mom, I think I can eat some more.”

Ye Xingbei laughed, giving his nose a playful flick, “You little foodie!”

Xiao Shumiao giggled, a bit shy.

Lingyue commented, “Xiao Shu is too thin. Eating more will help him grow faster.”

Xiao Shumiao nodded fervently, “Exactly, just like a tree needs plenty of water and fertilizer to grow tall!”

“What’s the rush? No one said you can’t eat!” Ye Xingbei flicked his nose again with amusement and took both Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue’s hands, “Xiao Yue, come join us for the meal.”

Xiao Shumiao was delighted at the prospect of another meal, “Okay! Thank you, mom!”

He had seen many delicious dishes prepared for his mother in the kitchen, so he knew he was in for a treat!

With Xiao Shumiao’s hearty appetite lighting up the dining table, it made everyone’s meal taste better.

Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but wonder as she watched her son savoring his food, despite all the food he consumed, he never seemed to gain weight. He had grown a bit taller but remained incredibly thin.

With the two of them keeping her company, she ate a bit more than usual, despite her lack of appetite.

After they had eaten and freshened up again, she brought the two boys back to the living room.

Seeing that everyone was still chatting, Ye Xingbei turned to Gu Junzhu and asked, “Is the medicine ready yet?”

Yue Yaer checked the time, “Just a few more minutes.”

Chi Zhan, being an impatient person, couldn’t sit still as he waited.

Chi Qing sat quietly between him and Chi Yu. Her gaze was fixated on an unspecified point and her eyes seemed veiled in a haze. She didn’t smile, she didn’t speak, she looked like a porcelain doll, devoid of a soul.
